Receiving comments means so much to fic authors so we’d love to encourage people to leave more. But we appreciate that leaving comments can be a bit daunting or draining, especially on days when we are tired or already stressed. So here are a few resources to hopefully encourage us all to leave more and to make doing so easier.
Archive of Our Own floating comment boxes
There are a couple of versions of these out there and they can be helpful. They are browser extensions that allow you to keep the comment box on the screen whenever you like so that you can easily comment as you read, rather than getting to the end and panicking about what to say.
Here are two different versions:
AO3 Floating Comment Box by ScriptMouse
Floaty Review Box by ravenel ← I use this one and think it’s great - Squid 💕
Feed The Fandom Fest
Have you heard of the @feedthefandomfest bingo cards? Because if you’re participating in these, maybe one of the recs on this blog could be the perfect way to tick off a square on these cards. Or, if you’ve not started one yet, why not pick one to encourage yourself to comment more and have some fun while doing so?
Here are the different cards:
Original Card
For Beginners
Fluff Edition
Angst Edition
Smut Edition
Old Fic Edition
Billy Hargrove Edition
Or put your own together!
I’d also just recommend having a look through the Feed The Fandom Fest blog in general, it’s such a wonderful resource 💖
Additional AO3 Kudos
Here’s some images of additional kudos for when you’re longing to mash that button again but all it greets you with is that mocking red smiley face. These are complete with the html to easily put them in!
AO3 Random Nice Comments
This browser extension will give you a short, nice comment from a list at the press of a button. It may be useful for beginner commenters who want to say something nice but are unsure what.
Comment prompts
If you want to craft your own comments but are unsure what to say, here’s a few starting points:
What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think back on the fic? I’m sure the author would love to know
Who was your favourite character in the fic?
Where are you reading the fic?
Speculate on what could happen after the end of the fic
How did you react emotionally? Did you laugh? Cry? Smile? Scream?
Or there’s the simple but ever loved:
Keyboard smash
String of emojis
‘Loved this!’
Here’s some more lists of prompts:
