I have so many confused thoughts and feelings about the evolution of the culture around talking to authors and commenting, especially as it relates to Discord 😂 It's only happened a couple of times that people DM me their reactions, but I find it more difficult to handle in general especially if I don't know the person well, probably because I'm less familiar with the expected etiquette around all of this. I guess maybe, this is how people expect to make friends as well, more easily than in somewhat impersonal AO3 comments? And/or just using the platform they feel more at ease with? 🤔
I actually do screenshot that kind of things, I have a "folder of nice things" I like to look at when I'm feeling down :D But yeah, it's still different than having it all in one place in what feels like the "proper" place, together with the story and easy to re-read when I look at the story again. Things like that. Differing expectations.
