Someone needs to write a fic (maybe from Mobei's perspective) about when Liu Qingge showed up at the Demon Palace to get Shen Qingqiu and ended up interrogating Shang Qinghua and was about to execute him when Mobei noticed up and then fought Liu Qingge until half the palace was destroyed
Like I can't help imagining him seeing his squishy little human about to be killed and being enraged and doing his best to protect him and the yearning that comes with that
Ahhhhhh it's such a moment and it kills me that it happened off screen
Fic authors have a problem with feedback – or rather, with the lack of it. Fanfiction has a notoriously low ratio of comments to hits, and many of us have expressed our frustration that we can get a hundred, two hundred, five hundred, even a thousand views on our stories, but only a handful of readers will leave kudos, let alone comments.
Unfortunately, this only gets worse for long, multi-chapter stories (aka, the longfics we know, love, and would sell our souls in a second if it meant an update), which also happen to be the stories that authors need the most support to continue and complete. Law of diminishing returns, y’all, and it sucks.
We’re not here to guilt you into leaving comments. We want to address the problem by changing the format, and we need your help to do it.
The goal is to increase the amount of feedback authors get from readers, especially on stories with multiple chapters, and to make it easier for everyone to show how much we love fics. We’re opening a discussion with ao3 to figure out how/if any of these options can be implemented, but first we need options to present!
Ability to leave a form of kudos on every chapter, instead of only once on the entire story: this lets authors know that you’re here and you’re reading their updates, so their hard work isn’t getting tossed into the internet void.
Comment templates: suggested comments that can be customized or posted as-is. Many of us draw a blank or get nervous when we try to think of a comment, so having pre-made options will both increase the total level of feedback and serve as practice, making it easier to leave more in-depth comments in the future.
Upvoting/leaving kudos on comments themselves: positive reinforcement makes giving feedback more fun and rewarding, and it lets the author know that readers are present and agreeing with other comments, even if they don’t leave one themselves.
We’ll contact AO3 to discuss the possibility of adding any of these as native features, and if that won’t work, we’re looking into creating and sharing a user script.
As a reader, what would you like to have? What would you be most likely to use? New ideas, opinions on ideas that are listed here, they’re all good.
As a creator, how would you feel about each of these options? Can you think of other ways of receiving or encouraging feedback?
Pros and cons of these (note: our thoughts on this are discussed in this google doc)
GET THE WORD OUT! Reblog this post, send it to your friends, link to it from your stories. We need as much input and support as possible to get this off the ground.
Feedback makes for happy authors. Happy authors make for more stories. Let’s keep this part of fandom alive!

OmG. I totally forgot to write, that I did that. I’m trying to write fanfiction in English. (Mother Tongue is German) So Check this out if you need more Salazar/Godric. (There is not enough of them, so I have to write myself.)
Wow... True... Q_Q
That moment in BotFA where Thorin gives Bilbo the mithril shirt and all the dwarves just go silent.
Because they understand what it means, they know how much it’s worth. They understand just how significant it is that Thorin’s giving it to Bilbo now, of all times, when Thorin is already mired...
