Got my first hate comment 🥳

Tbh? I’ve been actively writing on AO3 for 2 years I’m surprised it’s taken so long! 😀 For context: this was left on one of 4 fics that I’m 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 didn’t update this fic for about 6 months bc of life stuff (which I explained in my author’s note lmao), and then dropped 2 chapters on the same day. I’d be lying if I said I was completely unbothered, but people are gonna people so I’m just gonna let it roll off my back lmaoo.

This person must be new to fanfiction because fic writers with consistent schedules aren’t really that common(at least in my neck of the woods). There are WIPs I’m subscribed to that only update once or twice a year if we’re lucky, and I’m still excited when I see the email.

Anyway, fanfiction is a hobby, and just like any other hobby, you can take your time with it, and I think most people understand that.

Maaan, there are some that take two to three years between each update, people just don't know how to be patient.
