POSTING THE NAMES AND ADDRESSES OF USERS IS A SERIOUS TOS VIOLATION. PLEASE DON'T DO IT
i actually receive a lot more comments than i expected i'd get when i started writing. and it's made me more conscious of commenting myself, especially on new writers' fic.
so ig a question here (sorry if this was covered in the above thread, my phone doesn't want to expand threads) is: as a reader, what makes you comment on fic?

da but i totally relate anon. i'm always open to honest concrit, and that's why i participate in end of year feedback memes. but once i found a fic of mine that was relatively popular in fandom + got good feedback in the comments, being picked apart by anons on an anon meme. and i just felt as though, why couldn't these anons just say it in the actual comments on the entry? if they're talking about it on meme, it's obv they're not opposed to giving constructive criticism for fics, so why can't they do it to my face? i'm always happy to receive criticism and want to know where i can improve. but what's the point of wanking on it in such detail on anonmeme, where i can't even see it? the purpose obviously isn't to give me feedback, and i think that was definitely what jarred me the most. i mean, if you have criticism about my characterisation i'd honestly rather you comment with some constructive feedback on the actual post so that way i can actually work on it, than just wank on anonmeme with other people :/
i'm in shinee fandom atm. and i've made it a point to comment on every fic i've read and even liked just a little. if only even to say that i enjoyed this. because fic-dom is decreasing in shinee fandom, and i want to encourage the authors to keep on writing and know that there are people reading their fics.
lately, i've made it a point to try and comment on most fic i read because i know how much even a small comment can meant to someone. before though, i think i only commented on fic that i was really impacted by and/or had more to say about rather than just 'i really liked this.'

i've always been a bit 'hmmm' when i see authors being wanked on for not taking criticism well. like when cheapfeels was active, i know a lot of authors were a bit upset by it and were wanked on for being upset. on one hand i get it, because being able to take criticism graciously and positively is a really great quality. but on the other hand, if an author isn't used to it and sees a one sentence blunt negative comment on their fic, wouldn't they be hurt/upset? especially if they only really do fic for "fun"?
sometimes when i see an author, and it's their first fic for the fandom/pairing, and i really like the fic, i tend to go out of my way to leave a really encouraging + spazzy comment in hopes that they'll keep writing more u___u
i don't read a lot of fic but if i do and if it was good i prob will comment. good as in technically, with a prose i liked, as in i enjoyed it, as in there was details and things that i don't often see and appreciate (like a certain member topping or something). if it was so-so i'll prob not comment even if there was parts of it that i enjoyed. i used to be rly srs abt commenting and pm comment on everything i read and didn't hate lol but i admit i've been slacking off lately /o\ sometimes i'm too tired to type up a comment and just mem the entry and plan to go back later and comment, but ofc that doesn't happen lol /o\
post 100-500 words of your latest wip
i'm just curious to see what anons are working on! maybe we can all leave encouraging comments/feedback on what's posted so we can encourage anons to finish fic! i know sometimes for me, once i let a friend see a wip of mine and they give me feedback on it, i feel more inclined to finish it.

idk if it's just that there are fewer anons + activity is only just restarting. but i feel like meme's general atmosphere is like, so much more positive lol. i remember it went through a period of time when it was just mostly sarcastic and surly.
i think if i read a fic and i want to talk about it with a friend, then i comment. that's usually a litmus test. if i'm still thinking about it five-ten minutes after i'm done reading, then i usually leave a comment.
what cheapfeels did wasn't concrit tho, it was poking fun at other people's expense. and some people can take such a joke, but some are hurt by it. wanking on ppl for being hurt is such a meme thing to do, gosh how dare ppl on the internet have feelings
lol ik. i feel like ppl are rly making an effort to keep the tone jolly to keep the activity going
it got quite a fair amount of support from fic meme though. which makes me wonder how many people on meme are actually active fic writers? i always presumed most were, but now i'm not that sure.
tbh i kinda like it. it's making me want to start threads/post more.
ik it's great! altho it can feel a little fake sometimes lol
lol ikr, like strained smiles and forced laughter. but i appreciate the effort i guess. i feel like the way i comment on anon meme is usually influenced by the mood of the meme itself.
da i'm a writer that liked cheapfeels and wishes she hadn't quit before getting to my fic. i'm glad she ended when she did though.
you mean cheapfeels got support from ficmeme? i'm not surprised. cheapfeels stemmed from dw right? isn't many anons both on dw and kfa? either way, it's all anons and there is a special atmosphere and a special kind of humor in the memes, it's all the same thing
yeah me too. and the positivity also brings productivity and construcitivity so in the end ig it's all good
lol, i feel kinda lame for doing this u___u but here's one i'm working on:
-
Gayoon and Jiyoon’s friendship is something so entirely expected that no one blinks an eye when they’re suddenly spending everyday walking the hallways together arms linked and footsteps in sync. Despite knowing this however, Jiyoon never fails to find something about it extraordinary. Maybe it’s because Gayoon dresses like a she’s on a catalogue for a small bouquet, whilst the first and last thing Jiyoon does before going to school is stand in front of the mirror half-asleep and run a comb through her short bob.
“You look so pretty without trying,” Jiyoon says one day in the bathroom. She shuffles around in the small cubicle, buckling her pants and flushing. Gayoon is still applying mascara on her eyelashes when Jiyoon emerges, and busies herself in the basin next to Gayoon watching how her eyelashes flutter against the thin inky stick.
Gayoon blinks in the mirror a few times. “Believe me, I try really hard,” she replies. “Can you tell?” she turns to Jiyoon, staring at her.
Jiyoon cocks her head to the side squinting. “Um, your eyelashes are darker...”
“Are my dark circles gone?” Gayoon asks, widening her eyes.
Jiyoon turns off the tap, drying her hands against the side of her skirt. “I didn’t really notice them in the first place.”
Gayoon frowns and turns back to the mirror, stretching down her bottom lid and humming. “It’ll do. Yoseob doesn’t understand make-up anyway. Asshole.”
Jiyoon thins her lips. That’s the other part of why resting her head on the nook of Gayoon’s shoulders sometimes feels extraordinary. Gayoon was very much a guy’s type of girl. Not in the tomboy sense, Gayoon brings a parasoul to P.E which she sits underneath whenever she’s assigned goalkeeper. Nor in the sense she has the boys wrapped around her manicured finger, or else Kikwang wouldn’t have gifted her BBCream last Christmas. No. Boys are terrible to Gayoon because they like her, and they’re terrible when they don’t like her too.

i love exclamation points and smiley faces but i can get they might seem fake
i'm a writer but on in exo fandom. but i remember a lot of my writer friends were bemused by her presence/ignored her for the most part. but some people i know were also legit hurt by it. idk how i'd feel tbh.
da i think cheapfeels is definitely one of those things where you know what you're going to get. that being said, idg why some anons were wanking on authors for being upset/hurt over it. like it's really gr8 if they aren't, but if they are then what's wrong with that?
lol the way i see it my beta says worse to me and idt anything she said crossed a line
i'm not sure about kfa. but i know it got a fair amount of support from the kpsmeme. tho i wouldn't be surprised if it got support from kfa too.
that being said, the anon who was cheapfeels, was actually good at giving legit criticism when she gave legit criticism. i think cheapfeels was built more out of convenience because so many fics were being posted on sncj and a lot of anons weren't bothered having to go through all the fic to find something worth reading.

idt anything crossed the line. but for authors not used to blunt/criticism, i can def see why it'd be jarring.
