A simple ‘thank you’ or ‘this was beautiful’ or a quote of your favorite paragraph would be enough. Comment to let your authors/artists know you enjoy what they’ve created and you’re longing to see more. A review is just another word for ‘comment’.

You don’t have to analyze a text and give a coherent review. I’m afraid to leave a review because who am I to review? I cannot stress this enough: please support your content creators. It’s gotten to a point where a friend and very prolific author in the same fandom has decided to quit a story because she was getting demotivated by the lack of interaction.

Be enthusiastic and witness how a fandom will thrive even when the series it’s based on is long over. Saying nothing ensures authors will stop updating an a fandom slowly dies off. Anything.ĭoing nothing is killing fandom.

Fangirling/boying as your fave pulls off his/her shirt. An idea of how you think the story might progress. Just send two words if you’re intimidated: “thank you!” Why have we stopped reviewing? Why have we stopped saying even a simple “thank you!” after reading a chapter? writes frigging essays (❤) but do you have any idea how happy an author becomes just seeing a new review pop up? Just a thank you, or some words of encouragement or even a keyboard smash. The story definitely gets read judging by the amount of views and likes… And finally the author loses interest. They post more chapters hoping that it just needs to pick up a bit. Most twiddle their thumbs waiting for reviews that won’t come. Writers are spending hours and hours working on chapters, battling writer blocks, revising, sending works off to beta readers, second round of revision and then post their chapters.

Wonderful and passionate authors are writing thousands upon thousands of words dedicated to your favorite (and usually not canon) couples, characters and series. Whether you stroll AO3 for your favorite tags, have been on ff.net since the Before Times or read on tumblr or any of the other wonderful alternatives. This is an open letter to all people reading fan fiction.
