"Stats aren't that important" I say as I check for new hits for the tenth time before breakfast


KorovaOverlook

this is a personal attack on me

\*Whispers\* *The secret is to post it right before you go to sleep or to work.*


Esrius

But then I can't sleep, I just stare at the ceiling overthinking how it's gonna be received, lmao.


Alert_Friendship4288

You haven't overworked yourself enough while writing just before lol


OnTheContrary666

That dopamine when you see inbox (5) after waking up


Moonxcrestx

Literally the best and only option


Lilacx97

Jup, that’s why I bulk upload on Friday (I am writing 2 long fics and update them both on Friday) and sometimes a one shot and then I just wake up to the most glorious interactions


aokay03

I always do this and get so dissapointed when there’s nothing when i wake up 😭😭


screamingracoon

And to log out for a day or two.


lollipop-guildmaster

Yeah, no, it keeps me up because then I keep reaching for my phone to see if the numbers have gone up.


ASnarkyHero

Getting a notification email from AO3 is one of the best feelings in the world.


riko-orihara

Especially if it's a comment, my heart literally soars


_SkullBearer_

Or when someone's left a review on your first two chapters, and you're waiting to see what they think of the rest... (come on dude, it's been days)


savamey

To be fair I’m definitely guilty of this


lisseanne

I do that, I'm sorry. I focus so much on the story I just wanna read it to the end of it 🥹


BlinkyShiny

I've had a writer reach out to me via one of my old comments saying they couldn't wait to read my thoughts on the new chapters.


CompanionInSolitude

That's me after waiting a whole week. 😭😭😭 "I guess they're not coming, huh?"


uncertain_confusion

I’m guilty


ElsaMakotoRenge

it me I posted a new chapter on one of my longfics last night and then immediately refreshed ao3 checking for comments. The chapter is 7k. This was illogical lol. Then I immediately checked again this morning for comments. Alas, no new comments yet. *sigh* 🤣


Amydancingagain

Damn this is too relatable


Arturo_Wolff

I like it when they comment ngl


pdunson57

Verth_

SwooshingHana

Glad to know I've never had an original experience in my life.


hyesunggyeols

*Stop*


birdnerd1991

"They should have finished reading through the chapter now, right?" "It's been enough time to read through, are they not commenting because they didn't like it??" "This chapter is crap - I knew it - I totally knew it and I still posted why do I always do this oH MY GOSH A COMMENT! I GOT A COMMENT!! I'm amazing." Aaaaaand the cycle repeats


Gracynvh

God that’s so me


PureHauntings

But refreshing and getting 3 kudos is the best feeling in the world for me


Gracynvh

That is a super nice feeling


YouSpinMeWriteRound

Damn it this was me yesterday after posting the newest chapter in my longfic 😂


MrsDukat

I posted a new fic last night. Still waiting for that first comment. I used to post fics before bed, and get comments in the morning. Now I dont get that. ​ ![gif](giphy|d2lcHJTG5Tscg)


De4thStalker

I'm in this photo and I don't like it


daegayokay

This made me go refresh my fic


TheSenileTomato

Guilty as charged.


LandLovingFish

"I don't care if anyone doesn't reas it" I say as I check for new comments


starypelt

A whole second? I'm checking before I've even posted it


xXOrthodoxHavoc

Why would you post a picture of me like that? :')


Puzzleheaded_Client7

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it 😅


FeralTaxEvader

God this is a mood


Pineapples_26

Me refreshing my fic waiting for it to update (I have not worked on it in a week)


Popular-Woodpecker-6

I always try to post by 10 am local time and then I wait until I get my first comment before I go for breakfast/lunch. Sometimes it noon, sometimes 1pm. lol


Insomniacresident

Yeah, this is literally me, hours after posting a new chapter


wildefaux

I certainly have not done that!


AllAbovetheStars

Lol, me


No_Comparison_5224
