reasons to reply to fic comments

  • readers can be shy, too. They worry about commenting the same way that writers worry about posting fic. Replying lets them know they “did it right”
  • readers feel as overjoyed when they get replies as writers feel when they get comments
  • you can have a lot of fun and maybe even make a new friend
  • you can’t give kudos to comments, and there are some comments that really deserve it
  • just to say “thanks” – because not all readers comment and you appreciate the ones who do

This, because without people commenting I’d never gotten to know all the people that have now been my friends for years.
