No one is going to read this. I've mostly gotten used to no one reading though so it's okay ^^'

I have to say that sometimes I feel jealous of my closest friends here and on dA and how famous they are. I wish I had even a fraction of that popularity, because on the last two fics that I updated, no one commented at all (which is probably because they are pretty unloved pairings). Honestly I don't care that much about subs or upvotes, because I appreciate one comment a thousand times more than any number of upvotes/subs I get xD

But then I know that popularity isn't everything. I mean, how popular I am on AFF was never a prominent goal in my mind. If it was, I'd have fifty EXO fics done by now despite the fact that I don't even like EXO. Or I'd be writing the kinkiest anyone can think of. Or I'd have updated Nice Guys Finish Last. Or I wouldn't be writing fics with a variety of pairings that I like, not who the general population likes. Or I wouldn't be working to write a chapter for Destiny, which has no pairings at all.

A pet peeve of mine is when people sub to a fic, and then even if you update they never comment, never do anything to show that they truly liked the fic. I mean, then why did you sub in the first place? If you don't even take a look at something you subbed to, then you may as well not have subscribed. That's also why I cleaned out the list of fics I was subscribed to, so I wouldn't be that person xD Actually I don't even know why I'm subbed to anything, since I'm much more of a writer than a reader.

I don't know, I was bored one day and then I checked out some blogs about AFF, and then I realized that they were all complaining about how terrible AFF has become over the years. And I didn't even know, how fics are made obnoxiously flashy to receive more attention, or how people cheat the system to get featured, or how writers threaten to stop updating if you don't comment, or how it's all about competition amongst the top writers.

I can't do any of those things.

My fics don't have twenty different colours and fonts because I'm not trying to catch everyone's attention.

I don't cheat the system to get featured because I don't want a feature. Not to mention I don't even know one gets featured in the first place.

I don't refuse to update if I don't get enough comments, because I don't get enough comments to threaten anyone.

I don't compete with anyone, because there's no one for me to compete with.

And it's all because that I'm an author who doesn't get any recognition.

So thanks. Maybe it's good for once that I'm not well-known.
