I only learned about AO3 stats about 4 years into my use of it. Which is good, because I can become obsessive.<\/p>\n

I saw someone doing a giveaway here a while back to mark a kudos milestone, so I checked my own total and to my delight, it was a few hundred short of 15k. So I kept checking back every week or so, and the number crept closer and closer until two days ago it was within 80; and yesterday it was within TWO. So this morning:<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

I cannot tell you what this means to me without crying, except to say that the kindness and generosity of all the Lovely Readers every day humbles me. It is impossible for me to express my gratitude with mere words. And I write words like a demon, so if I can\u2019t wrangle the feeling with words, you know it\u2019s a big, wild one.<\/p>\n

I love you. I thank you.<\/p>\n

As such, let\u2019s give a gift to one of you!<\/p>\n

This tote bag with art by one of my all time faves, @willietheplaidjacket<\/a> will be yours if you are the randomly selected, lucky Lovely Reader! I will probably stuff it with random delights, as that\u2019s my style, but the tote is the Big Gift.<\/p>\n
