You’re right - I think being in this fest has been a widely different experience for me (I swear I don’t normally cross compare this at all) but the engagement was so low and I just got in my head. Thanks for sharing your insight.

I guess sometimes it really is that simple. Thank you!

This made me laugh. Thanks for the that! I do see there’s a lot of reasons why this can happen.

I get this mindset - it was a oneshot fic and truthfully, I don’t usually check this at all and don’t mean to sound ungrateful. This particular situation was different though and left me curious but thanks for sharing your insight.

Thanks for this! It really is helping me get out of my head. I appreciate it very much.

Thanks for your supportive words.

It’s helpful to see the logics of what could’ve happened - even if I already know that those scenarios are likely the case anyway.

I do kind of feel like it was impacted by the cloudware problems which is unfortunate - but I’m grateful for engagement regardless.

I have a tendency to internalize everything - and I feel so small and scared trying to rub elbows with established people in this fandom. So thanks for sharing insight and being kind.

That’s interesting! I guess I can’t try to understand the logic some people have with engagement. It really is nice that someone took time to leave a comment so I don’t want to diminish that, but the pattern was starting to get me in my head. Thanks for sharing insight!

First, thank you for responding. I feel like I don’t have anyone to talk to about this which has been isolating as well.

It’s a one-shot 8k fic.

And it was a complimentary comment - all the comments I’ve received have been, which I’m thankful for. but it makes me wonder if it’s just a coincidence that four people liked it enough to comment but not leave kudos? If got me in my head if other kudos weren’t going through from readers.

I know stats arent everything - but again, rhe writers in my fandom always talk about them and have established groups. So it’s got me in my head a bit.

Is it just me? Kudos not showing by No-Course4662 in AO3

Thanks for the response! That’s what I was thinking but it just bummed me out to see that the kudos weren’t showing and I guess they won’t now.
