This Makes Me Very, Very Happy

writing my fic rn, and it has texting in it, right? I've made Ochako's contact in Himiko's phone "Chako Chip" with cookie emojis and I start giggling like a FOOL every time I type it out, because ?????? IT'S SO CUTE????

If Ochako and Himiko had met as children... I'm sure they would have played many pranks on others. like, uraraka appearing twice in different places (one being real uraraka and the other being himiko). I also think they pretended to be twins as a joke (they would stop doing this when they grow up), and obviously Ochako would ask Himiko to do something in her place because she's nervous or something (Like presenting a school project and stuff)

I'd like to believe that Himiko called Ochako "my hero" once (probably as a joke), but Ochako started just calling her "my villain" back. So like, whenever Ochako sees like, an unsolved crime documentary and she recognizes that's it's Himiko's doing, she's just like "Oh, that's my villain" with no context for anyone who happens to overhear her

Ok funny character concept: an aroace vampire. He wants to eat the garlic bread, but he can’t. He is conventionally attractive, and people find him hot, but he just wants to be left alone. He thinks dragons are cool, but all of them see him as a rival due to them both having treasure hoards.

the state of MHA rn omg

twitter in shambles, bakudeku found shot behind a parking lot, ochako STILL a closeted lesbian with a dead ass girlfriend, bakugou rejected, deku straightmaxxing, todoroki listened to the devil and cut his hair, hawks looking like the plucked chicken i have in my fridge, mirio's no.1 but his wig's a FLOP, touya dead for NOTHING, shigaraki's fine ass dead for NOTHING,

Comment resources

Receiving comments means so much to fic authors so we’d love to encourage people to leave more. But we appreciate that leaving comments can be a bit daunting or draining, especially on days when we are tired or already stressed. So here are a few resources to hopefully encourage us all to leave more and to make doing so easier.

Archive of Our Own floating comment boxes

There are a couple of versions of these out there and they can be helpful. They are browser extensions that allow you to keep the comment box on the screen whenever you like so that you can easily comment as you read, rather than getting to the end and panicking about what to say.

Here are two different versions:

Floaty Review Box by ravenel ← I use this one and think it’s great - Squid 💕

Feed The Fandom Fest

Have you heard of the @feedthefandomfest bingo cards? Because if you’re participating in these, maybe one of the recs on this blog could be the perfect way to tick off a square on these cards. Or, if you’ve not started one yet, why not pick one to encourage yourself to comment more and have some fun while doing so?

Here are the different cards:

Original Card

For Beginners

Fluff Edition

Angst Edition

Smut Edition

Old Fic Edition

Billy Hargrove Edition

Or put your own together!

I’d also just recommend having a look through the Feed The Fandom Fest blog in general, it’s such a wonderful resource 💖

Additional AO3 Kudos

Here’s some images of additional kudos for when you’re longing to mash that button again but all it greets you with is that mocking red smiley face. These are complete with the html to easily put them in!

AO3 Random Nice Comments

This browser extension will give you a short, nice comment from a list at the press of a button. It may be useful for beginner commenters who want to say something nice but are unsure what.

Comment prompts

If you want to craft your own comments but are unsure what to say, here’s a few starting points:

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think back on the fic? I’m sure the author would love to know

Who was your favourite character in the fic? 

Where are you reading the fic?

Speculate on what could happen after the end of the fic

How did you react emotionally? Did you laugh? Cry? Smile? Scream?

Or there’s the simple but ever loved:

Keyboard smash

String of emojis

‘Loved this!’

Here’s some more lists of prompts:

Not a want but a need

“If I had found love sooner”

Nothing kills me quite like character A describing the scent of character B and one of the adjectives being "home." Like. Fuck. Damn it. My heart. Augh.
