(no subject)
So, I've spent the evening trying to catch up on comments. For those of you who haven't noticed, I periodically get bouts social-anxiety about comments and prevaricate for days (or weeks or...) over replying. Then a backlog builds up and I panic. I do read and appreciate every comment I get. Seriously, a comment can make a shitty day turn to a wonderful day but I am frankly crap at replying. The discovery that LJ's comment page is even more horrific than I thought isn't helping.
So, on that subject, what do you guys think? Is there a point at which you've left it too late to reply to a comment? Should I not reply if a comment is more than say, a month old? I don't know what the proper etiquette is here and I'm flailing a little.
I have replied to every comment left on fic on Ao3 and every DW/LJ post this year. Beyond that...well, if you have commented on a post or a fic and I didn't reply, then I'm really sorry but I'm probably not going to. I will do my best to answer every comment going forward but for my own sanity I have to draw a line.
