I had a lot of prompts for commenting on older stories so I couldn't resist going back through my bookmarks and especially my 'marked for later' lists to finally read some of the stories on there, and then check out other stories posted in those prompt years from many favorite shows. It meant I have had the chance to read some older stories that may have been lost in the shuffle or missed due to their age, but are simply amazing, and I also had the pleasure of re-visiting other stories I had read years ago and actually leaving a comment this time instead of only kudos:
