I still can’t believe that fanfiction is free
I sometimes have to pay for water, but with a phone and some wifi, I get to read whole novels about my favorite characters for exactly zero additional dollars
How goddamn rad is that
all the love to the fanfic authors who make this possible, y’all are the best
#yes we do this for free#you know how you pay us?#comment#review#tell us that somebody’s enjoying what we do#it takes two seconds and it’s also free (via @flintsredhair)
Whenever I check my phone and see I’ve got a notification from AO3, subject line “Comment on…” my whole day brightens up. I’ll hide my face in my hands and smile and smile – and that’s before I’ve read it. Even a simple ‘I loved this!“ or similar makes me giddy, but if it’s DETAILED. oh my god. I have definitely teared up before. Knowing WHAT somebody liked is the best feeling in the world. A line, a moment, a way you felt while reading, seriously, anything specific is pure ambrosia.
tl;dr: If you ever feel like making somebody blissfully happy, drop a comment ❤
