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... )

Thank you!

I am divided between awe, rage, and helpless laughter at the appeal that story clearly has. Normally I write neurotically over-researched tiny-fandom stories that get an audience of five. :-D

*delighted laughter*

Somebody I read on Dreamwidth recced it - I read it, laughed, and then went "bunn"? Why did I not know about this? how stupid of me.

So now I've finally subscribed to you, so I don't miss out on these things.

(As for kudos explosion, I'd blame cesperanza ;-D)

Hah!

Normally I do put things on LJ as well, can't remember why I didn't this time. Possibly interrupted by phonecall 'fly at once, all is known'. :-D

*Mutters darkly about Tumblr, newfangled doohickies etc* :-D

This is great. I left kudos. It was my first time on Ao3.

bunn February 22 2016, 08:40:40 UTC

Whoa. That must be such an unusual way to find your way there!

*is proud*

I hope you have fun there!

This was so funny and I left both kudos and a review (I'm Dancingsalome on AO3).

I once stumbled over a LJ post that raved over one of my fics, but the person in question had never left a review on the actual fic. Which I found a bit strange.

That's so odd! It was people mentioning experiences like that on ushobwri that got me thinking of reasons people might not hit the button...

I love the fact that several commenters have come up with their own suggestions!

(also, I am noticing that the Leavers of Kudos, even on that story are running at about 2 of every five visits, which amuses me)

I haven't seen this first hand, but a firend said she know people who tried to give friendly constructive feedback and got so burned by the author's rsponse that they now resude to give feedback on anything, not even with kudos. Sounds a bit strange to me.

I decided a year ago, or so, that I would leave a nice comment on Everything I read. It has slowed down my Reading, but I Think I have made a lot of people happy. After all, we all love feedback. :)
