*nods* I get that. All of it. I feel like it's older posts where you see people not replying to comments.

I'm not going to copy your third paragraph, but just WORD. Yeah. I don't really care who sees what I comment on, like, kudo, etc. I just do what I like. I'm kind of on the outskirts of fandom, I feel. Maybe. Fandom is my happy place and I don't look for ways to make it more exciting.

*smishes you* You are adorable on a caffeine high. ♥

LOL. Fourth wall still heavily in place for me. I can totally understand your discomfort. I am so glad that the Merlin actors do not read fanfic.

LOL. I KNOW it. I mean, they know your username and where you live and what you eat everything.

Off for a lunch date! More later. ♥

You make a really good point about replying to the comments! I used to do it, but I hated feeling like I was repeating myself, but you're right: they took the time to comment, so I should at least thank them for it. Hrmm, let me see if I can try it out and not be lazy, ahaha.

I think people don't expect you to be creative when you reply to comments. Really, a simple thanks is fine:D

Yeah, but I hate saying "Thanks" over and over again. That feels impersonal to me, so I try to make my responses tailored. But I found out it was hard work, so I stopped doing it all together, oops. :P

Yes, I know that saying "thanks" over and over is monotonous, but it encourages people to leave feedback, which we like. We want to stroke those pleasure centers and encourage people to leave feedback:D

Good point! I guess I just have to suck it up, haha!

Excellent. My work here is done! :D
