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... )

:-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!

Kudos duly left. I am, btw, also one of the anonymous readers who did not leave kudos. This is because I first read it on my phone, which doesn't have my password saved on it the way the PC does, so if I'd left kudos then it would have been anon.

I am discovering SO MANY new paths to Reading Without Kudos. This is most educational!
