Hello Isla I adore all of your fics very much! I would give up the world just to read your fics ❤ I want to support you and all of my favorite authors by at least leaving a comment but sometimes I worry my comments, even the positive ones, can be annoying or obnoxious... have you ever found a comment like that? do you have any pet peeves for ao3 comments (negative or positive)? maybe a disclaimer for ao3 commenters?
honestly no i've never been bothered by any type of comment!! i'm just not very good at replying but i'm working on it. i've gotten like 2-4 troll comments in the 2 years i've been writing and that's just a waste of the troll's time, but anything anyone wants to say from the heart is much appreciated. it means a lot to be able to make something and put it out there and know that it's been regarded!
before i started posting, i was afraid i was going to get a bad reception on AO3 or none at all, and maybe it's a sort of 'privilege' of writing smut for a popular ship, but i was lucky to get a very kind and welcoming reception from the jump. i'm rly appreciative to anyone who's read my work. i've been through some difficult times since i began writing and being able to make things that resonate with others brings me a lot of comfort
i am going to work on my reply anxiety and leave more comments too, but if you get a reply from something you sent 2 years ago i apologize 😭
