There’s someone who comments on almost every single new work I post in a series, without fail. Their first few comments were in broken English, and they later confessed to using Google Translate to read both my works and responses to their comments, and I was so touched? So when they said that I used Google Translate to give my response to their comment in Spanish. Every update, without fail, I get a wonderful comment on my fic in Spanish, and I always respond back. I love that reader.

I love everything about this post

If you read my stuff, do not be afraid to comment in your native language. I promise I will do my best to respond back in the same language. This is touching and this honestly how all writers should be to their audience. After all, if not one of them read our books or our fics, where would we be? Sure we would still be writing but…..Wouldn’t that be awfully lonely?

So thank you to all the beautiful readers, no matter who you are and no matter what you read: you are the reason writers write. ❤

Yes, i have a fic where people would constantly say “sorry my English isn’t good” so i just told them to comment in their native language and then I could just google translate it. Sometimes people can be comfortable enough reading their second language, but not as comfortable writing it themselves, so i think it’s nice to let people known that they don’t have to comment in the same language the fic was written in. And it creates more excited comments as well! People are usually much more expressive in their native language!

It is SO heart warming to get messages in different languages. I love it so
