Distance to first kudo

[(Anonymous)]

I've been a little disheartened lately. Spent a lot of time on a fic - that's even shippy! - was really happy with it, and I'm now well into double digit hits and not a single kudo. Really makes me feel like I wrote something bad.

Is it an uncommon pairing?

Re: Distance to first kudo

[(Anonymous)]

It's not one of the top pairings but I wouldn't go so far as to call it unpopular.

Re: Distance to first kudo

Is it a longer fic? Cause people might not be done yet - I know sometimes I open up a fic then end up just keeping the tab open and saving it for later.

Did you enjoy writing it?

Re: Distance to first kudo

[(Anonymous)]

I did, but it was really difficult.

Re: Distance to first kudo

Aw, I'm sorry!

My fics are in a "old but still pretty popular" fandom, and I specialize in shipping one of the fandom favorite couples, and I get roughly 1 kudo for every 40 hits on AO3. It may not be much, but hopefully it helps to at least have a frame of reference.

Re: Distance to first kudo

I'm into treble digits on one of mine without a single kudo. OK, it's in a fandom of one, but even those turn up a kudo from time to time.

But still, sad fistbump, anon.

I think a lot of people won't kudos a fic unless they really love it. They might like it, but still not kudos it, because they have this weirdly high standard for giving kudos.

I'm guilty of this sometimes and I need to stop doing it. The thought process behind it is basically that I don't want to kudos everything I like because then it's as though I'm giving the same enthusiasm to a fic I loved passionately as I'm giving to a fic I just liked okay. But over time I've realized how crappy that is for all the people who write good solid fics that maybe weren't an utter revelation to read, but that I enjoyed plenty and that still deserve praise.

Kudos for a fic you liked okay, comment for one you loved passionately?

Honestly that's how I am too, but I'm not going to lie that I honestly sometime just don't think to click it.

I tend to read fic in binges. Right now I started watching OUaT, I'm on season three so I'm totally binging EmmaHook fic.

I'll read like, a dozen fics a day and I really do just 'click' open, read, 'x out'. I totally forget that if I liked it I have that kudos-ing option.
