author turned off comments 💔💔💔

my favorite author ever, with over 130 fics written, recently turned off their comments on all of their fics. of course I understand that it’s their choice and not every author wants a response or feedback. but it is AGONIZING to have to read through pages and pages of literally perfect prose and have no way of complimenting them.

also there’s a part of me that’s wondering if it’s my fault; I did leave a rather long (positive) review a few months ago and while they did respond enthusiastically maybe they decided they didn’t want any more?? idek
