I know that I got a bit of an upsurge in ao3 comments in December, and not just on the fest fics that had been posted recently, but across the board. I think it might have something to do with Tumblr, because there's been a post that I've seen on my dash loads of times, explaining the kinds of things people could say in comments and urging them to leave even just a word or two on the fics that they read and enjoy (and I had one comment apologising that they hadn't commented before now and saying that Tumblr had reminded them to do so, which was sweet).
And I agree; kudos and hits are lovely, and I do like getting that daily email telling me how many kudos I've had, but a notification of a new comment always makes my smile just that little bit bigger!
