Fun Story to Share.
I got my (now 18-year-old) daughter into Ao3 back in 2021. I taught her she should always comment - even if the fic looks old or abandoned or whatever. She did.
Well - she got this email this morning:
The fic was written in 2014 and essentially abandoned.
Bethy read and reviewed in 2021 (and was actually the only person who had commented at all).
Today in 2025 - the final chapter was posted by the author and this was her reply to Bethy’s comment.

Never question whether a fic is too old to comment on.
i say we give it 3 days just to be sure
I just think, NM looking at his boys laid over the floor and couch with blankets and pillows and mess. They're all asleep, whatever dumb movie series they were marathoning on Netflix is paused by the "are you still watching?" Screen. They're all dead asleep.
Watching his pieced together little family, they look so peaceful. He pulls blankets over them, and turns off the TV. Then he looks at them, tucked in, resting together, some of them snuggled up together... and he cries.
What would he do without them?
This is literally the plot of skulduggery pleasant
Shit man, this wizard war is fucked. I just saw a guy clap his hands together and say "the ten hells" or some similar shit, and every one around him turned inside out, had their tibia explode and then disappeared. The camera didn't even go onto him, that's how common shit like this is. My ass is casting frostbite and level 2 poison. I think I just heard "power word:scrunch" two groups over. I gotta get the fuck outta here.
so funny that humans imagined a creature that is like a human but bigger and called it a “giant”. that’s such an uncreative name. that’s just an adjective. “it’s a giant!” “a giant what?!” “a giant… um. yeah. giant.”
sometimes a theme recurs in your work without your permission. and sometimes it reaches a threshold where you're like. well now i think this is saying something about me against my will. don't know what though
wait this just changed something in me
Of fucking course
What sick bastard doesn’t
