rent lowering gunshot since i got a wave of new followers recently: i love canon, i hate terfs, i ship harry with voldemort oooooooh scary, antis are not welcome, i only ship bottom harry and will be annoying about dynamics. there i think i got everything
@triangel4armz yeah 500 is still a lot, iโm just coming from a fandom where some works have 40,000. and i agree, people miss out on so many gems by sorting by kudos itโs a shame
re the eternal โis harry powerful or notโ debate: harry is powerful and smart but heโs obviously not as gifted, experienced or learned as voldemortโฆ.. but thatโs the whole point. the entire message of the story is that ultimately, love is the most powerful magic
my advice and takeaway for anyone that is active on social media, DO NOT be afraid to mute or block people, even if they try to shame you for doing it, it's YOUR space and you don't have to tolerate anyone that you think could be disrupting that, so don't hesitate, just act
maybe bias because these are my fav types of weddings but i think ginarry have a chic and simple registry office wedding. ginny wears a short dress (satin/silk with a classy, modern cut), molly bakes the cake and they have the reception in the garden at the burrow
this is so true. some of my favourite fics have less than 1k kudos (some less than 500) and a lot of people won't give them a chance just because they see the "low" number and think it's not worth it.
@leaderofthedolp for me im in a v large fandom so i used the 500 example because that tends to be what even under-kudosed fics accrue over the years. this isnโt not a lot, though, itโs still 500 people! and it varies wildly by size of fandom, in some fandoms 10 is a ton
@rktho_writes for me im in a large fandom so i used the 500 example because that tends to be what even under-kudosed fics accrue over the years. this still isnโt โlowโ, i just think my favs deserve more lol. but this varies wildly from fandom to fandom. 10 can be a lot for some fandoms
@Demimsy_ i donโt mean to say 500 is low across the board! i just come from a very big fandom where the number of fans means a lot of fics tend to accrue 500 over the years. i have written for smaller fandoms before tho and i sympathise, feels like youโre shouting into the void sometimes
(i come from a v big fandom where a lot of fics end up accruing 500 over the years. i am NOT saying โ500 is lowโ in general. itโs not even โlowโ for my fandom. iโm talking about the specific experience of seeing my fav masterpieces get 500 when some fics in my fandom get 40,000)
@aiboufueled i do disregard kudos when reading bc i understand theyโre largely irrelevant but i still feel some type of way when my fav writers get less than i think they deserve ๐ญ lmfao
@aiboufueled yeah i agree. for me im in a large fandom so i used the 500 example because that tends to be what even under-kudosed fics accrue over the years
@aiboufueled@OmegaIzukuu iโd go as far to say that itโs rarely the *very* best thing. absolutely not digging out popular fic AT ALL, i love some very popular fics, but kudos count tends to mostly depend on breadth of appeal and time of posting (ie posting when a fandom boomed/something new happened)
