COMMENTAPALOOZA
I am here, hat in hand, because I have a favor to ask of ALL OF YOU.
I'm trying to write fic today, but I'm also feeling quite guilty about not doing enough reading and commenting on other people's fic, including awesome friends who are amazing writers and deserve pages and pages of praise.
So. Here's where you come in.
Everyone. Even you. Pick ONE story (or podfic or piece or art) from out of your bookmarks or a recent newsletter or rec list or wherever and read it and THEN LEAVE A COMMENT. Tell the author (or podficcer or artist) something you liked about it, pick out a particular phrase that was well done, a bit of dialog that struck you, how someone was characterized or drawn that seemed unique or interesting or wacky. Anything! Just do it right now!
Then, once you do that, (if you want) you can encourage the commenting streak to spread like wildfire among your own flist.
Help me make today a day of comments overflowing!! It only will work if you all chip in! Let's do this!
ETA: The clever counteragent suggested that, after we all comment on good fic (or podfic or art) today, come back and rec it here below, so people can have a list of things to check out. Keep in mind, this doesn't need to be something new (although that's good, it boosts the active producers!), it can be any fic or art or whatev!
