I do write in English (even though it's not my first language), but for small fandoms and get so happy I get a mail about someone leaving kudos. Kudos are great!

[(Anonymous)]

I know this feel. I'd consider myself lucky to get 50 kudos. Not bc small fandom but what I enjoy writing is very very niche.

[pantswarrior]

...yep. Also writing in English, but I went from huge fandoms with ongoing canon back to my favorite fandom/characters which is a single video game released 20 years ago.

I like what I'm writing and am having fun, but man. You can tell I'm not in it for the kudos, hahah. Every time I do get one on something that isn't ten years old (not that I don't appreciate them on the old fic, I'm glad I'm still making people happy in those fandoms), I get so stupidly excited. It does not happen often.

[(Anonymous)]

I’m always surprised when people complain about “only” getting a hundred kudos, but I guess those people are used to getting more kudos than me. I got one this morning and was pretty thrilled.

[(Anonymous)]

I write in some medium to large fandoms and some really small ones and I always cater my expectations to the fandom/ship I'm writing for.

Getting 100+ kudos in my medium fandoms? Great! Love it, I'd probably be a little disappointed if I got less than 50 though honestly because I know that I could get more, but at the same time if I did I'd assume I'd written something the fandom isn't into, which is fair. Writing in small or dead fandoms and getting barely 10 over a month? Great! Because there's almost no one here anymore so even those 10 feel good. It really is a matter of perspective to me.

[philstar22]

Agreed. My fandom isn't completely tiny, but it is small, and especially my ships are small. 50 kudos would be amazing. Honestly I'm happy with every single one I get. Just getting notification that I've gotten a single new kudo makes me really happy.

[(Anonymous)]

LMAO, I have one fic with 0 kudos. I'm still pretty proud of it, though, and even thinking about writing other stuff for the fandom even though apparently I'm the only person into the thing. I'm good at playing the long game, though. I've gotten comments years and years after I published a fic, and I think sometimes people just need time to find your stuff.

[epicurean]

I was gonna ask "does that really happen?" and then remembered a writer in my old fandom having a complete mental breakdown because they only got 50+ kudos on a fic they just started when their older works had hundreds of them, no joke.

But yeah, I don't write often but getting kudos regardless, even if it's just one or two for a really niche pairing is nice.

[meadowphoenix]

I mean...I don't think it's crazy to see what your fic is getting compared to other similar ones in your fandom and have feelings about it. Like, obviously the fics you're talking about aren't in the same contexts as the smaller fandom ones, and the motivations between fics might be entirely different.

but i also hate whinging about kudos, what to do, what to do.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm thrilled to get one kudos! "Only 50" kudos T__T

[(Anonymous)]

I did a podfic recently that got 20 whole kudos and I was *so shocked*...

OMG, a Fiddler on the Roof secret!! It's my favorite musical ever, and I totally agree. When I was younger, I was all about the daughters' relationships, but this and "Sunrise, Sunset" show why Tevye and Golde are the real heart of the show.

I've seen people accuse Reddit of many things, such as being a liberal hellscape, SJW cucks, etc., etc., but this is the first time I've seen all of Reddit be called antis.

Two possibilities:

1) It was just a one-off thread, and people who had a username attached didn't want to voice their contrary opinion that aged-up NSFW art of underage characters is sexy.

2) Aged-up NSFW art of underage characters being sexy is a proshipper opinion that IS NOT a common opinion, and probably why no one in Possibility #1 wanted to own up to it.

Addendum to #2: Reddit is also a website that has had serious problems with IRL child-porn communities, and people being ironically into bad things and then turning serious about it (cough cough T_D cough cough). To prevent subreddits from eventually being sunk by the people who are serious about IRL children being sexy, there ironically enough has to be strong moderation which I don't think fits very well into the proshipper mindset. Regular non-creeper redditors do not care about the nuance of aged-up NSFW art of fictional characters because of how often "haha I'm not being serious" spirals out of control, and it's probably for the best.
