The Umbrella Academy

(Anonymous) 2019-02-20 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
I know there was a thread on this a few days ago but I just finished it last night - what do people think? I loved it and am already thinking of fanfic I could write, but I want to know what everyone else thought!

Just finished episode 3. The plot isn't that interesting so far but the vibe is pleasant and the cast is good.

I liked it much more than the comic books and I really hope it gets a second season. I loved Vanya’s transformation into the White Violin. She looked cool as hell and her outfit was way better than the one she wore in the comic. I can’t decide if she’s my fave or Klaus.

I've only watched one episode. It didn't really hook me in but I will give it another try.

I really enjoyed it except.... Vanya's sad panda-ness really got on my nerves by the end, and I stopped caring.

I could watch Klaus (and Ben, and the Klaus and Ben show) all damn day. It was pretty neat, different, pretty to watch. I'd recommend it, for sure.

I'm getting close to the end, for me the plot isn't anything super amazing but the characters are keeping me around, especially Klaus, Hazel+Cha Cha(and I want mooooooore Ben+Klaus explanation show, gimmie!), Diego has his moments where I like him too and I'm oddly fond of the mother? Idk, it's fun and I really like the whole time-travelling assassains concept, it's neat.

Re: The Umbrella Academy

(Anonymous) 2019-02-21 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
I loved it. It's honestly been ages (like since they first printed them) since I read any of the comics, and I never finished cause... money lol.

But I don't mind that the plot is sort of secondary? Like, the way I felt watching it was that it was more of a device for you to get to know the characters/their issues as a family, etc.

I am all here for the BenKlaus(Diego) show though. Gimme some fic.

Kudos!

Authors, what's your hits/kudos ratio for fic? Do you mostly get the same for fics in the same fandom, or is it all over the place?

Re: Kudos!

(Anonymous) 2019-02-20 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
1.44% pretty much across the board

Sometimes a bit higher if it's a popular pairing from a just-released movie.

Re: Kudos!

(Anonymous) 2019-02-20 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
3%

Not sure how useful this statistic is though, since places like AO3 count multiple hits from the same person as a hit. And you can't kudos things every time.

It's infinite as I've never published a fic.

Re: Kudos!

(Anonymous) 2019-02-21 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
fandom doesn't matter, it's all about the pairing. super popular juggernaut pairing? like a 1:10 ratio at best. but those also have the most bookmarks and comments. pairing where I'm the only author in the whole fandom? much closer to 1:6 but when you only get 100 hits it doesn't feel great.

but I'm still really proud of my monster 98 chapter fic in a really small fandom that has thousands of hits and still maintains a 1:6 or 1:7 ratio. I've known some readers to log out so they can leave guest kudos so it's not necessarily more readers, but everyone who reads it is hardcore into it and I love it.

I rarely write much for the same fandom. But, overall... about 10-15%?

Re: Kudos!

(Anonymous) 2019-02-21 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
So I have two fandoms on my AO3. Fandom A is around 1:6 to 1:10. They're gen fics.

Fandom B is a bit worse on that front 1:8 to 1:15. That's some romance and some gen.

The biggest outlier is my most popular fic for fandom B, which is one of the most popular fics to that pair in a semi-popular fandom. That's nearing 1:20, but it also has about 20 times the views than any other fic of mine and way way more bookmarks than anything else.

Re: Kudos!

(Anonymous) 2019-02-21 04:22 am (UTC)(link)
Before I stopped keeping tracks of hits, it was around 1:10. In the first week, anything goes after that.

But, knowing that 9/10 people were opening up my story and not responding was stressing me out. (Did they not like it? Did I tag misleadingly and give a disappoint? What's wrong with my writing!?)

In the end, I could keep reminding myself that some readers are just like that with every bloody story I posted, or I could turn off the hit counter. Much more restful now!

inspired by 5 - Do you get beta offers from strangers?

(Anonymous) 2019-02-20 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you accept them? I can't really imagine accepting for the same reasons the OP of the secret listed. Working with someone like that requires more knowledge of that person and their abilities, IMO. I have regular betas, and they're my regulars for a reason.

Re: inspired by 5 - Do you get beta offers from strangers?

(Anonymous) 2019-02-20 11:54 pm (UTC)(link)
No, but many years ago (I'm talking 2002) I offered to beta an author's fic. She politely declined, but we ended up becoming close fandom friends for several years.
