You're not the only one, anon. I count my stories as spectacular to get 50 kudos and any type of commentary.

Same.

Humblebragging is one thing. Waving details like that around is like masturbating in public: Feels good for one person, but not everyone else wants to fucking see it.

*shrug* That sort of thing really depends on the fandom.

I wrote a short (and frankly not very good) fic for a popular pairing in a megafandom that happened to hit on a popular trope at the right moment. It has more than TEN TIMES the kudos and comments of my next most popular fic. That number of kudos and comments is not bragging in some fandoms.

AYRT

Well, duh! Of course I'm bitter.

Most fanfiction authors don't get "thousands of kudos per chapter" unless they're pandering. Not everyone is able to do that. Authors who can't tend to get discouraged after a while and stop writing, which might be why there's such a low percentage go unique voices.

(It would have been sufficient and kind if the OP had simply said "I wrote something that is very popular" instead of flaunting.)
