Timing and subject matter can also decide whether or not a fanfic gains traction. They are often a bigger factor.

Over the years, I have had fics that died on arrival, but one in particular that I was really proud of (a Zuko/Sokka fic back before it was cool, lol!) bombed especially hard. It got maybe ten views, zero comments or bookmarks, and 1- 2 kudos. Then, suddenly, years later, I started seeing the view count go up and began to receive kudos. Even some comments asked if I'm going to continue.

It was weird. I was happy to see people respond positively to my fic, but I was also like, "Where were y'all when I was spiraling and thinking I can't write good?"

🤷 Timing was everything, I guess.
