Re: How is your Yuletide going, actually?
(Anonymous) 2024-12-31 04:48 pm (UTC)(link)I am happy to know that I would annoy you in particular with my habit of replying to comments as I read them.
I don't know about CYRT, but for me, the annoyance is very mild. All it means is that I'm never going to see the author's other fic, but it's not like there isn't enough fic to read and enjoy out there.

(Anonymous) 2024-12-31 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)I didn't know people even used their AO3 inboxes. I've had an account on the site fifteen years and still forgot it even existed until this conversation, since I'm getting email notifications for the comments anyway, so there doesn't seem to be much point going to look at a copy of the thing I already looked at and manually marking it as read there a second time.

(Anonymous) 2024-12-31 05:05 pm (UTC)(link)I use it to keep track of unanswered comments, because I sometimes have a backlog and as soon as you answer them, they are automatically changed to "read" in your AO3 inbox. But with other people's comment responses, there's just no easy way to use the read/unread filter that doesn't require extra effort.

(Anonymous) 2024-12-31 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)Ah. I have cunningly avoided this problem by never writing fandoms or characters popular enough to develop a backlog of more than one unanswered comment at a time.
Re: How is your Yuletide going, actually?
(Anonymous) 2025-01-01 10:05 am (UTC)(link)I guess it just boils down to different people preferring different notification methods, with the pros and cons that come with them. Personally, I find it easier to manage comments in the site inbox rather than read and archive emails for them, and so I just have emails for kudos. I don't have to hunt far to see who it was that replied to my comments after reveals, but then again, they're not several pages deep. As for sorting comments by people, it's not something that has really occurred to me so it's not something I miss, but I do see the utility of being able to do that.

(Anonymous) 2024-12-31 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)Ha, that's useful. But I'd hate not having a record of everything I received. I like being able to go back and find comments and replies from 2009 (I deleted stuff before that and STILL REGRET IT!!!!!)
Re: How is your Yuletide going, actually?
(Anonymous) 2024-12-31 06:13 pm (UTC)(link)I archive fic comments and kudos emails and use my email for that. It lets me easily search to see if someone I'm considering treating for an exchange has ever commented or kudos on my fic and therefore might be more likely to like how I write.
