Really? I do kind of wonder about the ratios myself, but I don't always notice it for particularly heavy nsfw fic. I assume it has more to do with the author's prevalence in a fandom, along with how good they are at promoting their fic via links on memes, tumblr, lj/dw, etc, and thereby bringing in more anonymous traffic.


Also, I don't know about anyone else, but sometimes I find my name in the kudos section of a fic I liked at the time, and I feel like AO3 is punishing me with their "no take backs no returns" when it comes to likes. It's like my shit taste is on display for all time, as a public shame—even though no one actually reads the kudos section and comes upon a name they recognize just to say, "oh wow. i always knew cloud_riven had shit taste. what a loser."

[(Anonymous)]

I totally agree about the "no take backs no returns" policy - especially when a story starts out so well, and I kudos it to encourage the author to continue, and then......it takes a turn that I REALLY didn't enjoy. I kind of wish I could delete my association...

[cloud_riven]

You and all those others endorsed that bad fic by funding it with kudos! You are to blame! hahaaha

[(Anonymous)]

haha NOOOOOOO!!!!!

[(Anonymous)]

Ugh, this. Or I've left kudos on a fic by someone that I wish to permanently disassociate myself with. Nope, not happening. :/

[(Anonymous)]

I feel you on the last paragraph. I often leave anonymous kudos on things I sort of like, but not enough to attach my name to it and say "[name] liked this fanfic and recommends it to you". Obviously that's ridiculous because nobody will go through the kudos and take my leaving kudos as a sign that it's a particularly great fic, or judge me for liking this mediocre fic, but still.

sometimes i wish i could browse specific users' "kudoed work" for recs if i like their taste...but i can see where users might not want that feature.

[cloud_riven]

I wish that feature was at least available for the individual. I don't always bookmark everything, so I end up having to go through the reading history to see what I left kudos on (or forgot to leave kudos on. that too).

[(Anonymous)]

OH, that is a good idea!! I go through so many fics that trawling through my history takes ages (and I've done it to find that one fic I can't remember and didn't mark...). Man, now I wish AO3 actually had a link to go through my kudos.

[esteefee]

Interesting. I just realized: I never, ever take notice of people's usernames in the kudos of stories I haven't written.
