A fun game: sorting by comments
Sometimes you just want to find hidden gems, you know? I’ve found it’s a lot of fun to start by excluding everything you won’t read, setting the date for nothing more recent than a month or so ago, and then sorting by comments and going to the very end—to the ones that don’t have any comments yet, despite being around for a bit. And then, of course, reading the interesting ones and giving them a comment. I hope the author appreciates it (though I don’t mind if they never respond.)
I highly recommend it! I’ve found some really great works that way, and it means sending love to those who might be needing it.
