First, you go to: http://www.winglin.net/fanfic/

Then click on the story of your choice. (I picked The Dating Game 2: A Whole New Game – http://winglin.net/fanfic/dtlct11/)

You can skip the last two steps if you know the url of the story you want to comment on or you’ve already bookmarked it. Just go to the story page.

You should see the main menu page with the word ‘Contents’ on the top (below the story title, the author, and the poster – if that story has a poster) with chapters listed after it.

On the main menu page, there will always be buttons at the bottom with options of going to ‘Comments’, ‘Main Index’, and ‘(Un)Subscribe’ – which is easily spotted. It gets tricky when you start to read stories and switch around. When you go into the chapters, the buttons at the bottoms will change to: ‘Previous’, ‘Main Index’, ‘Contents’, ‘Next’ (or if you’re at the last chapter of the story or the last chapter available, you will not see the ‘Next’ button).

Menu with ‘Next’ button: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v144/lamtieuyen/tut/fanfic_comment/image2.png

Menu without ‘Next’ button: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v144/lamtieuyen/tut/fanfic_comment/image3.png

You will no longer be able to access the ‘Comments’ page from there. So if you want to leave a comment after you read all the chapters (available), you will have to click on the ‘Contents’ button to take you back to the main menu of the story before clicking on ‘Comments’ to go to the ‘Comments’ page, which will read ‘Feedbacks and Comments’ on top once you’re there.

You scroll down to the bottom to where there are boxes and options for you to select.

You should be able to fill in the information and then press ‘Submit’ to add your comment.

After you press ‘Submit’, you should be taken to a page that will confirm that your comment has been added.

You can check if your comment has been added by clicking on the ‘Comments’ button to go back to the Comments page – like indicated on the ‘Confirmation’ page.
