"below 20 kudos hurts, a bit"

Oooof. For Yuletide-sized fandoms? I have a whole bunch where 20 kudos would be asking for about 15 kudos more than the fandom can deliver.

For context: of the 2076 works currently in the main collection, somewhere under 300 have broken 20 kudos at this point. ~14%. If you've got under 20 kudos, you're in good company with almost everyone else writing in this small fandoms exchange.

CYRT - you're right! I matched on a medium-sized fandom, though, I was hoping a bit more!

(didn't write for any big ships or characters within that so it's on me for not managing my expectations!)

Fuck, most of mine don't get 20 hits during the anon period. I love small fandoms and I cannot lie. One of my fics has exactly one (placeholder) comment from the recip, and one kudos they left. If that's all it gets . . . man I had a blast writing that shit!

I also don't compare my stories to others. What's the point? To feel relieved and/or smug if they're "doing better" or to be bummed if they're not?

Nah. I'm here to have fun and wallow in small fandoms that don't get enough love, not feel bad about shit I can't control. *throws confetti*
