Feb. 29th, 2020 03:32 pmIsn't it frustrating when you get into a story that is, generally speaking, well written, has an interesting premise and some snappy dialogue, but the dialogue tags are so unrelentingly WRONG that it's hard to keep up the will to read?
Like this:
“Is that why you came here?” She asked, “I had already let out match sit for a week and half without refusal.”
I… just can't. And, well. It's on AO3, with no mention of a beta reader, but these days I don't know that leaving what I would call Useful Information in the comments would be well received. I mean, the gist of it would be, ur doing it rong, so even politely put, would the author accept the information, ignore it, or set up a jihad?
Back when I generally read fic on LJ, it was possible to send a discreet message. Is there a way to contact AO3 authors, other than via comments?
