You've got to get obsessed and stay obsessed

This is a great post! <3 I feel a bit guilty answering, because I'm afraid I'm going to seem braggy, but you're so right that sometimes even getting comments that you KNOW are complete hyperbole is still just the BEST. Like, I've gotten quite a few comments on Right Hand Red to the effect of, 'this is the best story I've ever read', and even though I KNOW that's not true and can't possibly BE true, I made that person feel that way for that moment and maybe a few hours or something. <3 OH! And I've gotten comments that the story is like and should be the eighth book in the series. O_O That one kills me. Like, omg! That story especially gets ridiculously good comments. Even the weird ones are good. Like I got this one: "SO STRANGE AND GOOD." LMAO. I actually think it's an almost revoltingly normal story really. I can't by any stretch regard it as "strange" myself, but apparently it was so strange and so good at the same time, enough that it needed a CAPSLOCK. I also love that, right after it posted, a great many readers apparently got NO sleep. People stayed up all night (or at least until 3 in the morning, because I got a LOT of comments with that actual time pointed out) to read it, and that's a huge, wonderful compliment, and I really can't even. <3

I love comments that include lines from the story itself! I LOVE that! And I love when a reader just gets something. Or incoherence. Incoherence is great. Especially when it turns ridiculously funny, like FTS's shark thing below! That's priceless! :-DDD

But more than anything, I just love when someone is moved, when I've somehow touched their heart. That's gold. <3

That said, this -- "This was so hot my eyes fell out. Reading this made me miss my own wedding, and then my whole neighbourhood was evacuated because I was laughing so hard." -- is truly the comment to end all comments!!!! :-D
