Re: Doing well/doing badly?

[(Anonymous)]

I mean, there's a certain amount (a LOT) of subjectiveness to what is a good fic, but if there are two fics in the collection for a fandom and one has 3 digit kudos and one has single digits? Unless, like, the other is the juggernaut pairing and yours is gen about the character nobody likes, you might want to re-evaluate your writing, or have a friendly reader who will give you concrit look it over.

(also, THREE DIGITS of kudos? In Yuletide? I am envious.)

As someone who landed on writing the 'gen about the character nobody likes' fic this year, this hurt!

I really don't think coalie's writing is THAT bad, though. Then there'd still be a lot of hits from the fandom, before they realized it's a mess of a fic. Unless they're also the sort of person who tags 50 pairings and 100 freeforms and has a social media AU summary?

Exactly this, regarding hits. I also wrote gen about a less popular character, and I have slightly fewer hits than a shippy fic posted for this fandom, but more kudos. There's hope for us yet.

Jesus christ, this was assholic.

DC - maybe it wasn't phrased cult-of-nicey, but they got "thank you for writing for me" and single digit kudos compared to triple digit kudos? I can see their point.

There are no fandoms with two fics where one has triple digit kudos and one has single. I'm confused or they're exaggerating.

Maybe "the other fic in the fandom" means that this is literally a two-work fandom; it could be from a previous Yuletide, or Be The First??

Re: Doing well/doing badly?

In that case then it makes little sense to be comparing the kudos already!

I assume they fudged the details to make it harder to find because otherwise that would be pretty easy. I'm guessing the fandom has more than two fics.
