You're right and you SHOULD say it!

Especially the Art Deco rocketships. All cool fins and chrome and all that shit.

[(Anonymous)]

I am right there with you OP!

"Frying tonight!"

Good taste! Kid me had such a big crush on Valeria.

[(Anonymous)]

That title is actually a scream. :D

Maybe I'm weird, but I'm very happy to get kudos (and bookmarks!)

[feotakahari]

I know a porn writer who did that. They get pissed off whenever someone asks where to find those stories. I think it’s a lot of emotional effort to expend on something that would be easier to just ignore.

[(Anonymous)]

Please don't do it!

Kudos and bookmarks are still engagement! Maybe they're not as gratifying as the steady flow of comments, but they are proof that you held somebody's attention and they reacted positively to what they read!

It might feel like you're lowering your expectations, but a decent-to-good kudos/bookmark count can be satisfying, too, especially considering how few fics get either. I've seen the statistics, and the average fanfic is lucky to receive more than a handful of kudos. So much so that getting twelve kudos means your fic is a hit. Most don't get a single bookmark.

I absolutely love the picture chosen for this secret. It os cracking me up.

Not sure how/if it works on mobile, but there are skins/ add-ons/etc where you can block stats like kudos. I know other authors that have issues with them and basically block everything but comments.

Personally I love all forms of engagement. And some days I even prefer a kudos to a comment, because I am just weird like that.

[philstar22]

To me kudos are a review. The person is saying they like the fic. That's good enough for me.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm with you, OP. To have people do nothing but press the kudos button on a story I'd sweated blood over for months - a fix-it in a fandom that didn't have another one - felt like damning with faint praise to me. I almost took it down several times over the years. I was glad I didn't in the end, but is it really that impossible to leave a one-line comment?

Apparently so.

[(Anonymous)]

Love the picture choice for this secret. I don't mind just getting kudos personally, but I tend to write for small fandoms so my fics don't get a ton of attention in the first place.

I wish everyone would stop doing free ads for corporations. I wince every time someone gets hooked on a corporate slogan and repeats it over and over.

I have really fond memories of watching this with my parents. I have a friend that just did a rewatch and they said it is their favorite show. It has been making me wonder if a rewatch would have me loving it more (since I was pretty young and didn't really pay too much attention the first time round) or if it would tarnish the happy memories I have.

Politics thread:

Any threads for explicitly non-fandom politics or non-fandom political news should go here.

[philstar22]

I'm so tired of people who seem to think anything that isn't mainstream is automatically superior. No, your "independent" news source isn't better just because it says different things than mainstream news.
