Re: Your Yuletide So Far

[(Anonymous)]

I wrote 2 fics. One is in a well-known fandom and seems well-received. The other is in the obscure fandom of my heart, and I was expecting very few hits, so I'm surprised by the fact that there are a lot of hits but not a lot of kudos/comments.

I did like my gift. So Yuletide is going pretty well for me, but I really wish I knew what was going on with that second fic....

For what it's worth, my fic is in a small fandom and it had great kudos/comments from fandom regulars for two days, but now it's only gathering hits.

Maybe people got to the stage where they're trying to read out of their usual fandoms, but finding out they can't without canon knowledge? So they move on. I have no other explanation.

there's one fic in a fairly obscure fandom that got linked in a non-fannish space that's in that situation re: hits and kudos, so it might be something like that?

The author of the original canon found out about there being fic for one of their books and posted several very excited tweets and a link on their twitter. The hits on the fic went from like 4 to 30-40 in about five hours but the kudos/comments stayed about the same.

Oh wow I'm not sure how I'd feel about that. Thrilled I guess if I'd written something family friendly, mortified if I'd written kink!

I just had the most visceral NOPE reaction of my life, so I don't think I'd be thrilled even if family friendly. Did not expect quite that strong a reaction.

Hah, something similar happened to me this year too. Fortunately I wrote something very true to canon and I know that the author is very fanfic friendly.
