I love your thoughts! Thanks for spewing:D

I will reply to this after I've bound my quilt. I just wanted to say thanks for sharing your thoughts. And Yay for caffeine!

ETA: quilt is bound.

I totally agree. If I like something, I'll leave a kudo. If I have more to say, I'll comment too. Occasionally I'll bookmark, but it's pretty rare.

The individual chapter thing bugs me a little. I have yet to post a WIP, but some people post series as a bunch of chapters. You can comment on individual chapters, but you have to leave kudos for the whole thing. What if I want to kudo every chapter? I have to comment on every chapter?

I don't understand people who think they shouldn't leave a comment or kudo because a piece already has so many.

0.o. I only got into fandom almost 2 years ago. Before that, LJ was just a social thing for me. I always replied to comments, so when I see fics where there are no replies to comments, I don't comment. Actually, I was confused about reviews on ff.net and if I should reply to them because replies are in the form of PMs which confused the heck out of me.

Am I making any sense?

*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. ♥
