5 things make a post

[dhampyresa]

1. I have actual words written on the fic for an ongoing canon I was being silly about earlier. I'm going to write it -- and post it as AU if I have to.

2. Edge of Tomorrow is surprisingly good and give surprisingly good Paris. Currently the Louvre is being destroyed in slowmo.

3. I've fallen behind on my currently airing shows. Boo.

4. I was making good progress on answering ao3 comments -- only 69 left! -- but now the next one up is the one that stopped me answering ao3 comments for a long time there and uuuuuuuuuuuuurgh idk how to tackle it? It's not a mean comment or anything, I just don't know what to say to it.

5. Sometimes I forget how much fun writing or drawing can be.

Comments

"Thanks for reading! <3"

Is my go to for weirdo comments. If they liked something, you can say, "Glad you liked YX."

If you want to pretend to engage you can say: "Thanks for reading <3 I'm glad you liked XY. I had a really [interesting/fun/educational/other adjective] time writing this fic, and I appreciate feedback."

This may be true or not.

I'm excited about your new fic, is it a canon I'm in?

[dhampyresa]

This was very useful, thank you!

It's Star Wars Rebels, I don't think you know it. I am writing FEMSLASH IN SPACE.

I keep meaning to watch that. A couple friends are really into it. Though I haven't seen Clone Wars either, and I gather there's a lot of through lines. Should probably just watch both.

[dhampyresa]

Well, I'm trying to see if anyone's interested in a Clone Wars (re)watch over at starwarsfruitbowl but so far no one's bitten. I am doing a weekly post about Rebels when it airs, though.

That said the two characters I'm writing only interacted in two episodes, so I could also just point you to those (apparently I am only in Star Wars for the crackship rarepairs, idk).

Edge of Tomorrow is surprisingly good and give surprisingly good Paris. Currently the Louvre is being destroyed in slowmo.

I really, against all expectations and its self-sabotagingly vague title, liked that movie.

Enjoy writing!

In fairness "Edge of Tomorrow" is better than "All you need is kill" because (a) it's grammatically correct and (b) sounds vaguely sci-fiesque.

Thank you!

Oh, yeah. I'm not in favor of All You Need Is Kill and Live Die Repeat gives the game away before it's even started. I just feel there must have been a better alternative!

"Thanks for reading" is my go-to reply when I have no other ideas. ;p

[dhampyresa]

It didn't quite work here, but eh I replied to the comment now. Thanks, yuu.

Writing and drawing are much fun!

Re: 4 I only reply to them if I can think of something to say quickly. If I can't, I just leave them. I'm sure I have no idea what comments I've left have been unanswered!

I wish I could leave comment unanswered, but I have this weird thing about replying to ao3 comments, even ages after the fact. It's weird.
