The Third Time, which was the first fic I posted on AO3 during the current round of fic-writing, has made it to 200 kudos. I know this isn’t my first fic to hit 200, but it’s a gen one-shot in which Loki dies for real, and it’s been steadily creeping its way up to 200 over the course of 2 and a half years. Which feels like more of an accomplishment, or at least a different kind of accomplishment, than a post-Ragnarok Thorki fic getting 200 kudos over a couple of weeks.

Persuasion and Possibilities are my first fics to break 200 kudos – other than Kudos Georg, which is an outlier and should not be counted (because I posted it immediately after Ragnarok came out). I know that to many of you this will not sound like much of an accomplishment, but hey… baby steps.
please someone tell me I’m not the only one who ignores all my actual duties to obsessively check whether there are new comments on my fanfics and re-read old ones if there aren’t.
I may or may not have kept some favourites in my inbox…
I only check once a day, because otherwise I’d lose my mind. But I do save them all to read offline when I’m feeling blue or stuck or having some kind of bad day. Because it’s nice to be reminded that I can write something that made someone laugh, or cry, or get so mad that they yelled at their screen. We all need that validation. And some days, I need it a lot.
Hell, I obsessively check for new kudos. I need whatever meager source of external validation I can get.
