If I had a nickel for every time a red-headed girlboss scientist and her tall, dark-haired, malewife partner who sees the world differently than she does who were brought together by the workings of an antagonistic greater power on a 90s show where they work outside the mainstream of their government fell in love only to be actively sabotaged by the writers/producers, I’d have two nickels! Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?

Going to add, if anything I wrote makes you hate me enough to leave a hurtful comment, thank you. At least my words made you feel something strongly.
not to be controversial bc I know this is like…not in line with shifting opinions on fanfic comment culture but if there’s a glaring typo in my work I will NOT be offended by pointing it out. if ao3 fucks up the formatting…I will also not be offended by having this pointed out…
‘looking forward to the next update’ and ‘I hope you update soon!’ are different vibes than a demand, and should be read in good faith because a reader is finding their way to tell you how much they love it. I will not be mad at this.
‘I don’t usually like this ship but this fic made me feel something’ is also incredibly high praise. I’m not going to get mad at this.
even ‘I love this fic but I’m curious about why you made [x] choice’ is just another way a reader is engaging in and putting thought into your work.
I just feel like a lot of authors take any comment that’s not perfectly articulated glowing praise in the exact manner they’re hoping to receive it in bad faith.
fic engagement has been dropping across the board over the last several years, and yes it’s frustrating but it isn’t as though I can’t see how it happens. comment anxiety can be a real thing. the last thing anyone wants to do is offend an author they love, and that means sometimes people default to silence.
idk where I’m going with this I guess aside from saying unless a comment is outright attacking me I’m never going to get mad at it, and I think a lot of authors should feel the same way. ESPECIALLY TYPOS PLZ GOD POINT OUT MY TYPOS.

"It's such a cool concept. It's not a musical episode. It is an episode about very real people being stuck in a musical experience." - Anson Mount, The Ready Room interview, Aug 3 2023
