What's a little fawning among friends? It's awesome, that's what it is!
I know, I know, I feel the same way about sics, but I have to be zen about it otherwise I get sad when something I worked on really hard to be as in character and canonical as possible gets like thirty comments while somebody's... god, I can't even use Kurt as a mermaid as my made-up example now, can I, because there is one? Anyway, somebody else who writes a fic with next to nothing to do with the characters as I see them gets a million sobbing comments of adoration. It's too utterly discouraging for me, so I must be zen. Fandom is fun, and if people are happy then I truly am happy they're happy. Even if I'd rather everybody wanted to have fun the way I want to!
Oh, god, you want me to write comments about every fic I wrote? I wrote a lot of fic this year. I... fine, I could totally do that, because I'm so self-absorbed about my writing, but would that be in any way interesting to other people? Gah, I don't know.
And it's all categorized on the AO3. That's the POINT of the AO3.
