#i hope everyone who read ywr/iwf this week also read pdf at some point bc i like that one better

no idea why ywr/iwf has gotten an influx of kudos over the past week but its been both a compliment and an irk tbh

#esp since its JUST been that one and nothing for pdf despite pdf being linked in the notes #i guess someone shared it again or at least thats the only reason i can think of rn #which is like..................gee sure would LOVE to see why someone liked reading it enough to share in their circle #if only there were some way.................to share positive opinions with a fic author...............................where they can see i #(this is THE reason i hated this fic for so long after completing it btw #if you like smth enough to rave abt it online plsplspls express that to the author as well #i appreciate kudos but they literally do nothing for me at this point yknow? #if you dont leave me a comment on ao3 or message me directly then how am i ever gonna know if #a fic of mine changed your life. like rly honestly srsly copy-paste your rambling after posting it wherever #and slap that shit onto an ao3 comment) #anyway this got long but i am so so tired #i hope everyone who read ywr/iwf this week also read pdf at some point bc i like that one better #like i would rather someone read both and only leave kudos on pdf but also like #this fic specifically (ywr/iwf) absolutely kills me a little inside bc i only found out how well-loved it is years later #and had i not been part of smth and been told that indirectly (and then directly by exactly one person) then i never would have known ever #which. like. yea i do still have a chip on my shoulder #i thought i wrote pdf as a follow-up and got over it but i guess the fuck not #anyway the last time i got an influx of kudos was bc someone recc'd it so maybe this time ill get smth more substantial out of it #(i say this not expecting anything actually mmmmmmm)
