i love that specific ao3 phenomenon where you get a sudden influx of kudos on a work and it’s clear someone shared your fic but you have no idea who they are or where they shared it. it’s like being a dickensian orphan receiving money from a mysterious benefactor.
imagine. you’re in a london gay club. you run into these two people who are clearly together and seem a bit awkward and start chatting. you’ve never seen them before and they seem open to a threesome. you hit it off and finally ask if they’d be down. they look at each other and nod, then wordlessly produce a 20-page document labeled NON DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT. you ask why. they laugh and say just sign it. you do. these people must be important to warrant this. you have the threesome. the sex is mid. they don’t even notice when you leave
A thing I've really grown to appreciate when writing Discworld stuff, is how the style's designed for you to mash together a random shower thought, a cool fact you know and the most obnoxious pun you could think of, and then just plop it straight into the middle of whatever actual plot you're going thru AND you also get to call it worldbuilding.
