On this episode of baffling comments

[cimorene]

The last time I checked my inbox someone had commented that they knew the author was probably never going to see their comment, but... .

They perhaps think this because the last comments above weren't answered, but I do get notifications for every comment! There's emails and there's an inbox there on the site! My bookmarks are active and all my other online presences are linked in my profile, so it's not like you could think I'd gafiated.

Even weirder, on a fic that's one of two I wrote for the same romantic relationship that it's probably ruined them for this pairing forever. This would be a great compliment if it weren't implying they can't even read my other one (which is a lot better IMO, and isn't LITERAL teeniefic. The teeniefic is purple prose, which I have to assume is why so many more people like it? But it could also just be because the other one isn't rated E).

I think there may be some distortion going on there about how Tumblr and Twitter bury replies to replies, and an assumption that Ao3 and DW do the same?

I've recently heard that some people won't comment on old fics because they think it's cringe, like liking someone's old instagram posts...

Yeah, that's not how that works!
