"Do you know of any unpopular fics that should be popular?" "Yeah! *links to a fic with 300 kudos*"
#vaguepost#sorry i just. if you think 300 kudos in the ml fandom is unpopular then PLEASE read more fic.#and if someone links to an ''unpopular'' fic that has 300 kudos#then they probably aren't actually reading enough fic for their recs to be all that meaningful?#like i'm not saying that popular fics don't get popular for a reason#(though i do question why some fics are so popular)#but like. i could name so many fics that are underappreciated with less than 30 kudos.#i dunno i just think that some people's opinions hold a lot of gravity toward fic recs#when it really seems like they sort by kudos#and that irks me because i am friends with so! many! good! writers!#who struggle for kudos!#it is DIFFICULT to get ''popular'' in the ml fandom as a fic writer#i say this as someone who has the privileged ability to publish fic semi consistently#as someone who doesn't write rarepairs very often#as someone who doesn't feel demotivated by lack of engagement#it is HARD#and to see one of the most popular ml fanwriters on tumblr getting recommended as ''unpopular'' really annoys me#because i honestly don't care. i am getting everything i want out of my fanfics.#i have a couple of good friends and a loyal commenter and i feel plenty happy at that#but i see people losing motivation over getting 15 and 20 kudos and i want nothing more than to help them#so like. maybe if you're calling something ''unpopular'' when it's already achieved more success than 95% of fics.#maybe that feels like a punch to the gut.#please don't rb#vent
