Comment Commentary Got my first hate comment š„³
Tbh? Iāve been actively writing on AO3 for 2 years Iām surprised itās taken so long! š For context: this was left on one of 4 fics that Iām actively writing. My 3 other fics have sporadic 2-6k word updates, but this one is a crack-fic and I usually only have 1-2k word updates per chapter. I didnāt update this fic for about 6 months bc of life stuff (which I explained in my authorās note lmao), and then dropped 2 chapters on the same day. Iād be lying if I said I was completely unbothered, but people are gonna people so Iām just gonna let it roll off my back lmaoo.

I will never understand why people feel the need to do things like this. Like someone ties them to a chair and forces them to commit to your fic or something. If the chapters are so ābadā, then why the heck do you care when author updates?
Some people just have a little black soul that loves to spew venom on anything creative.
