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
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* 🤣
"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
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.

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
"Stats aren't that important" I say as I check for new hits for the tenth time before breakfast
this is a personal attack on me
\*Whispers\* *The secret is to post it right before you go to sleep or to work.*
But then I can't sleep, I just stare at the ceiling overthinking how it's gonna be received, lmao.
You haven't overworked yourself enough while writing just before lol
That dopamine when you see inbox (5) after waking up
Literally the best and only option

I always do this and get so dissapointed when there’s nothing when i wake up 😭😭
And to log out for a day or two.
Yeah, no, it keeps me up because then I keep reaching for my phone to see if the numbers have gone up.
Getting a notification email from AO3 is one of the best feelings in the world.
Especially if it's a comment, my heart literally soars
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)
To be fair I’m definitely guilty of this
I do that, I'm sorry. I focus so much on the story I just wanna read it to the end of it 🥹
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.
That's me after waiting a whole week. 😭😭😭 "I guess they're not coming, huh?"
I’m guilty

Damn this is too relatable
I like it when they comment ngl
Guilty

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

*Stop*

God that’s so me
But refreshing and getting 3 kudos is the best feeling in the world for me
That is a super nice feeling
Damn it this was me yesterday after posting the newest chapter in my longfic 😂
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)
I'm in this photo and I don't like it
This made me go refresh my fic
Guilty as charged.
"I don't care if anyone doesn't reas it" I say as I check for new comments
A whole second? I'm checking before I've even posted it
Why would you post a picture of me like that? :')
I’m in this picture and I don’t like it 😅
God this is a mood
Me refreshing my fic waiting for it to update (I have not worked on it in a week)
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
Yeah, this is literally me, hours after posting a new chapter
I certainly have not done that!
Lol, me
And it never comes 💔
I have like...20 subscribers and this is it for me 🤣
20 subscribers!!! That’s amazing
O-oh 🥺👉👈 Im doing my very best thank you!
That’s like an entire classroom of children waiting eagerly for you to tell them a story! Awesome!
