A++++

When I write fic, it's because there's a story that I came up with that I liked, and I liked it enough to write it down in hopes that other people might also get some enjoyment out of it.

It's nice when someone who does leaves some kind of indication of that, but that's more a side effect of writing rather than the point of it.

I mean honestly, I don't read reviews because I don't know what to say. "Good job." That would be it.

[sarastark]

As a fic writer, I'm cool with reviews that just say "Good job." Or just kudos. Whatever lets me know you liked it. Either gives me a smile when I get a notification of it.

Yes, this! I feel the same way.

There've been secrets posted here before with fic writers stating they don't like getting just a 'thanks'/'good job' with no explanation though. So I imagine it's different for everyone.

[pantswarrior]

And that is why I *love* kudos, because I'm the same way about most fic, unless it's a huge multi-chapter epic that I can point to several plot twists and character arcs and so on as stuff that was done particularly well. Fic that's under 10,000 words? It may be good or it may be bad, but it doesn't last long enough for me to have anything more to say about it. So I'll leave a kudos if it's on AO3.

Which may be why I'm pretty unconcerned about my review/kudos counts. I know quite well that it's not like either is necessarily an accurate marker of how good a fic is, or even how many people like it.

This.

Half the time, the stories I think are just bad are the ones that people like the most out of all my writing. So I just smile to see that someone liked it and move on.

And I love kudos, because leaving reviews is always so stressful for me that I usually end up trying to write them and then just dropping them and feeling guilty that I couldn't tell the author that I liked their story. With kudos, I just have to click on a button. No stress. No guilt.

Kudos are fantastic. They mean I don't have to come up with a reply to each individual comment XD
