I understand, OP. I write gen one-shots in obscure and inactive fandoms, or gen one-shots about obscure characters in active fandoms, so I know my work's not going to be popular as a multi-chaptered romance about well-liked characters. I get one or two pieces of feedback (a review, a kudos, or a favorite) per story. And I absolutely cherish that one piece of feedback because they liked something I liked putting together and everyone wins! And I'm not just posting into the void after all.

But sometimes I imagine what it would be like if I was writing a type of story that was more popular. Would I be pushed into obscurity by the better writers of that genre, would I attract some more attention? Imagine me being one of the authors who complains on the one day a month when they don't get kudos, instead of being an author who cheers on the one day of a month when I do.

It's fun to think about sometimes, and I'm a little envious, but I love the little pieces surprising me when I least expect it.
