'You Are Of Their Ilk' has just passed 30k hits. I would just like to take a moment to say, ahem:
HOW IN THE FUCK?!
Anyway now that that's out of the way uhhhhhhhhhh wow I feel like I should do something for this? I mean I'm working on a new chapter for it and I hope to wrap up the whole fic relatively soon, but like hot damn. It's already been almost four months since I last updated because I had an idea for where it was going next but I completely changed the next chapter up when I didn't like how it was going (story of the entire fic, tbh). Idk man I just. This fic is SUCH a struggle for me to write most of the time and it just blows me away that it's my most popular fic by MILES. It has a solid 10,000 hit lead on my second most popular fic (by hits) which is 'All Dreams Were Worth Keeping'. I don't know what it is about 'Ilk' that gets people's consistent attention when I barely ever update it and it's been going for like a year and a half at this point at a snail's pace but uhhhhh yeah. That's a Thing. That I'm very happy about and very confused by, simultaneously lol
#personal#You Are Of Their Ilk#It's still so strange to me sometimes what ends up being popular vs what I think is my best work#or what I'm most satisfied / happy with#And like how fics of similar lengths or that update much more regularly or whatever other criteria you can think of#get such different levels of attention#it's fuckin wild man#Another wangxian fic but with a bunch of world building and blending with another piece of media? (the BOTW AU) roughly 1/5th of Ilk's hits#'You Need Tending'? The first fic that Ilk is the sequel to? Just under half the hit count of Ilk#Like idk it's just WEIRD#And I wish I could ask everyone individually what it is specifically about Ilk that draws them in cuz I really can't tell#Other than my perpetual agenda to give people LQR feels and using adorable baby wangxian as my vehicle for it#which now that I think about it....yeah that would get me too lol that's why I'm writing it#ANYWAY sorry for the rambling I'm just flabbergasted#floored. flummoxed. Other good words
