I didn't say they should have left a longer comment. I said their comment was perfectly acceptable but that obviously some people would prefer longer ones so they shouldn't be surprised if people say so. If they didn't like the fic, I think they did the right thing.

NA

The coalie that brought up a longer comment as ““gracious”” personally rose my eyebrows. Longer comments being more gracious is a take I hadn’t seen before. Long comments are usually framed in the positive and not you-may-as-well-treat-aurilly-since-she’ll-give-you-a-full-commentbox-worth-of-gracious-spin-even-if-its-DNW-coalfic.

Anyway this looks like this is veering towards long v. short comments wank which I don’t care for so I’ll butt back out now.

that coalie - I was talking about an entirely different comment on a different (and, imo, unreadable) fic in a different canon. It was still short! But it came across as a kind response to a fic that was well-meant but really bad. Hence, gracious.

Seriously, this is coal: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/yuletide2019/works/21810610
