DONT BE AFRAID TO COMMENT ON OLD FICS DONT BE AFRAID TO COMMENT ON FICS IN A FANDOM THE AUTHOR MAY NO LONGER BE ACTIVE IN. IF THE STORY IS STILL UP LET THEM KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS IT MIGHT JUST BE THE REMINDER THAT MAKES THEIR DAY.

SINCERELY SOMEONE WHO JUST GOT A REPLY THAT MADE ME WANNA MAKE THIS POST

Stories don’t have expiration dates! AO3 is an Archive specifically so you can still read old stuff!!!

I am baffled to learn that there were people who thought that they shouldn’t comment on old fics, honestly. We’re still commenting on Gilgamesh and Ea Nasir, Sappho and Homer, Tolkien and Lewis. Why wouldn’t we have things to say about a five year old fic???
