You mean the 8 ½ Fail-Safe Ways To Write A Comment?

I don't think I've written one for recs, but I could! XD

[birdsofshore]

Doh! of course! Thank you, in my mind it had turned into a guide to writing a rec :DD

Oh, you should do it! It would be great! A lot of the advice is similar, don't you think?

[capitu]

One thing I do when I rec, and not comment, is that I try to tell a little bit of what the story is about, so people have an idea, just an idea. But yes, the basics are the same.

Maybe I will! It'd be fun. :)

I just read that guide to commenting thing you wrote, and then bookmarked it. I have the same issue with commenting that I do with reccing -- I find it really hard to put into words what exactly I liked about a fic, so I mostly don't say anything at all. I'm trying to be better about it!

[capitu]

I'm glad you found that useful. ^_^

I think you just have to start. :) I really do, once you do, it comes easier and easier. <3
