since I write for niche series, I am lucky if I get 5-10 kudos on ao3...the most I've gotten is in the 300s and that was for given
as much as amino sucked as an app, the community aspect made it a better environment for sharing fics because people were more likely to comment
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.
