Not leaving Kudos

Feb 21, 2016 09:21

I wrote a series of tiny stories about readers Not Leaving Kudos on ArchiveofOurOwn, prompted by a thread over on the ushobwri community. Kept them in a file for a bit and added one when I thought of one, and eventually in a fit of randomness posted them on Ao3 ( Read more... )

writing, life is not like star wars, wittering

:-DDDD both at the snippet and, frankly, at you*

You've now written more of it than I did!

Shall I add you as a co-author so you can add these as chapter 2, or would that make things worse? :-DDD

*although given that I woke up at 5am to write more Russian Finrod Musical stuff, I really have no right to be laughing at anyone for the weird things their brain insists on doing.

I've done another one... :-O

Seems rather unfair to be given co-author status, given that all the kudos are rightfully belong to you. I guess, if you agree, I could post a companion story that references and gives due credit to your original...

I didn't intend to write so much, but sadly, I have absolutely NIL skill at writing short things. Ideas that really by rights out to be 500 words usually end up being at least 5000 when I get my hands on them. And the same happens to LJ comments, evidently. :-)

I don't feel any particular attachment to my strange new mountain of quasi-ironic kudoses tbh, but if that would fit better, by all means.

Hah, I wish I wrote that fast. Some of those microstories took me a whole dogwalk each!

My kudos wasn't ironic. It made me laugh out loud. :-)

I appear to have written two more (although one was a total rewrite of one I wrote yesterday, with added apocalypse, all your fault). I was thinking that there wasn't much point in posting them, but now I'm thinking that I really do need to post them, if only to tell my brain that this whole idea is now finished and out there and NOTHING MORE CAN BE ADDED TO IT, THE END.

Not really sure about what is the best way to post them, though. I'm kind of still boggling that the fandom you posted it in actually exists! :-O

I posted the first 2 as a frivolous comment elsewhere, and one of the A03 modlyfolk suggested it should go in there, I wouldn't have known it existed otherwise!

I was delighted to use the 'other relationships' checkbox for the first time and discover it made that... that... rune thing.

Post them. It will make me feel terribly important, as if I have Created a Genre :-D

Re: This. Must. Stop. ladyofastolat February 24 2016, 08:51:47 UTC

Done. You are now officially the Creator of A Genre.

The sinister Rune of Other alarms me, so I made mine safely Gen.

Re: This. Must. Stop. bunn February 24 2016, 10:17:09 UTC

I AM THE CREATOR OF A GENRE
