those ao3 \u201ckudos\u201d emails where someone has gone through and read pretty much all of your stories, one after the other: blessings upon you and your household<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

don\u2019t authors find that weird though? i don\u2019t do that, just because i always figured it might seem stalkery, going story by story through people\u2019s older work (which of course i do ~all the time~ because awesome fic is addictive)<\/p>\n

if people are happy to have the kudos, i will totally start leaving them as i read<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I mean, I can only speak for myself here, but no, I don\u2019t find it creepy. Someone I\u2019ve never met going through my old instagram selfies and systematically liking them – creepy. Someone I\u2019ve never met obsessively reading my old fics and liking them – my favorite person of the day. Just MHO.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

seeing the same person\u2019s name on a string of kudos for your fics because they\u2019ve obviously read through your back catalogue is one of life\u2019s great joys<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

xcziel<\/a>, there\u2019s nothing I like more as a writer than someone who is obviously reading everything<\/i>.<\/p>\n

Well, maybe comments. Yes, on old fic too.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I once (back on lj) had someone comment on every single chapter of a fic I wrote in one evening. It was the most thrilling night of my fanfic career. I didn\u2019t feel creepy in the least.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

COMMENT. \u00a0I don\u2019t care how old it is or how many chapters a reader comments on.<\/p>\n

The only thing that might possibly be more flattering is the\u00a0\u201cI stayed up all night because I couldn\u2019t stop reading\u201d comment.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Yes, please.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

YES ALL OF THIS<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

all of this<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Reblogging because readers somehow still have this idea that too many comments\/kudos are seen as creepy or stalkery.
IT\u2019S NOT.
Seriously. Every comment, all of the kudos, they\u2019re greatly, GREATLY appreciated. And knowing that someone liked your work enough to click on your name and go through your other fics and liked those too, even the old stuff you\u2019re kind of self-conscious about, is the greatest feeling a writer can have<\/b>. So if you like a fic, say something\/leave kudos, no matter if it\u2019s the first or fifth fanfic you\u2019ve read in one night from that author.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I love seeing the same name again and again, especially in quick succession! I\u2019ve also been that person who finds a fic I like, opens the author page, and then opens fifty tabs with ALL their fics and mainlines them. I know how great it is to find an author you want to roll around in for a few days, and I love being that author.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
