Re: Placeholder Comments

[(Anonymous)]

Huh. The only kind of fic I'd rush through in 10 minutes is a fic I dislike, and any short comment I'd leave on that would be all I have to say about it.

When I like a fic, even a short fic, reading it takes time and I need quiet and attention for it.

(As an author, I also strongly prefer either a brief placeholder that indicates that it's a placeholder followed by a longer comment later or just the longer comment later with no placeholder. A short comment right away that doesn't say it's a placeholder and longer "surprise" comment later wouldn't be fun for me.)

Re: Anti-Rec Stuff

but the summary makes it sound kind of good, can anyone report back?

[(Anonymous)]

Nah. That would be a helpful DNW.

(To clarify, I'm not OP. I do think that if they don't like fade to black, DNWing it would be a good idea, tho.)

Aww, this sounds lovely.

I'm sorry, coalie

Re: And They're Out

[(Anonymous)]

No one wrote for any of fandoms for the fic and treats that I wrote, which is a new thing. Not good or bad, just different!

Re: Anti-Rec Stuff

I was just looking at it like...who wrote 15k, eleven chapters of Folgers incest fic that is lord of the rings themed? The summary sounded interesting, but when I clicked into it, I was pretty baffled.

I sincerely hope you are my recipient and thank you.

My fic I wrote has three views and no kudos or comments. Maybe I should have defaulted...

[(Anonymous)]

/deep sigh

Someone wrote in the fandom of my heart, but it's for the new canon Sue and it's full of run-on sentences. I'm going to go sit in the corner and be sad.

Re: waiting on a miracle

[(Anonymous)]

is it relatively long? if so it might take readers time to read the entire thing before kudosing and commenting :)

Re: waiting on a miracle

[(Anonymous)]

Relax, coalie. I have 40 fic open in tabs right now, and it is going to be days before I read all of them and have a chance to kudos and comment. I am not the only one.

Re: waiting on a miracle

[(Anonymous)]

It's on my read later list. Sorry about the scare.

Re: waiting on a miracle

[(Anonymous)]

This early, I always assume hits are just people opening something in a tab to come back to.

Re: waiting on a miracle

[(Anonymous)]

Generally the hits to kudos ratio on AO3 is 10/1. Also the collection’s only been open for six hours? I really wouldn’t worry about it.

Re: And They're Out

[(Anonymous)]

I can’t say this in the comment, but easily the best Yuletide gift I’ve ever received, and probably in my top 5 exchange gifts of all time. :)

Re: Describe your gift!

Knitted washcloth with a few dropped stitches that's been under the tree for a while; it's a nice color but I wish they'd taken those extra weeks and knitted a scarf (or at least gone back to fix the dropped stitches).

Re: And They're Out

My gift is so good that I feel like I might vomit

Methods of approach

[(Anonymous)]

do you have a specific way of approaching the whole collection or do you just dive right in and start reading immediately.

Re: Methods of approach

[(Anonymous)]

Open tabs for all rtmi fandoms, go through fandom tabs to open all rtmi fic. Read all rtmi fic, gift for me last.
Fulfill family obligations.

Re-read gift, comment.

Re: Methods of approach

[(Anonymous)]

Reverse alphabetical order for all the fandoms I evenly vaguely recognize.

Re: Anti-Rec Stuff

[(Anonymous)]

Oh wow

[(Anonymous)]

Okay, Hannibal.

Re: Methods of approach

[(Anonymous)]

I start in the middle of the alphabet and work down, then back to the beginning. Open some tabs until I have a lot, read anything that looks really good right away, repeat. Try to comment on anything I like reasonably well, usually burn out and don't finish the collection.
