reviews

I received THREE reviews on the last story I posted to AO3. That's nearly a record for me. Just one more review, and it'll be tied for most reviews, lol. It also has a record number of bookmarks (7) and is tied for most kudos (40). Of course all of those other stories have been up for years. I'm so used to getting no reviews, I was a little shocked to find something in my inbox.

I'll never understand how people get hundreds of reviews on their stories.

I don't really understand either. I mean, I've been writing for years now and while I do get a decent amount of reviews (on ff.net; Ao3 barely take notice of me), it's nowhere near some people. Like Zach. He posted Mass Effect fic and has an insane number of reviews for it. (It was most definitely going to his head for awhile there.)

Anyway. Congrats on the three reviews. :)

I'm currently reading this really well written story (thankfully) and noticed it had a huge amount of kudos. I checked the header:

Was started almost a year ago, last updated yesterday with 5 of 7 chapters completed at over 10k words. It has 1200+ kudos and 186 comments. I just can't even. I'd be throwing a party if I got more than 10 comments, lol.

Wow, that's pretty insane. I'd be happy if I got more than 10 comments as well.

Seems so random with comment numbers and quality sometimes, though. I've seen really badly written fic with insane numbers of comments just as often as well-written ones.
