the best feeling is finding a fic so good it makes you open the author's ao3 only to find a bunch of equally good but slightly different works that will feed you for days

It's the absolute best!
I love it even more if they are prolific not just in my current obsession but other fandoms I love. So good!
I've even found new fandoms because of this. I mean if I love there stuff and they love this show/movie/whatever, it must be good, may as well try!
And then there's an easter egg from another series they've written, and suddenly you're re-reading a somewhat related trilogy just to find and appreciate that one reference
I follow someone solely because their bookmarks list is so good. We're in all the same fandoms, and they fall in love with my favourite fics too. I look at their list and know if I haven't already read it, I'll love it.
I love seeing this in small fandoms where that author singlehandedly wrote half of its fics on ao3, you can just feel the love for the source material and it makes reading them even better <3
One time I read a huge trilogy like this and it was pretty much the only thing they had ever posted
I’ve assumed that they just wound up writing their own books after that (because this was like 600k words lol. They clearly loved doing this level of planning). Hope they are!
I’m telling you! I followed this one author from one site to another and three different account changes only to find out that they stopped writing altogether two months ago. And all the stories I loved the most were unfinished 🙃
decided to check out your ao3 account out of curiosity. just wanted to say that even though i havent the faintest idea about the fandoms you write for, i read a couple of your short fics and thought they were far from crap! i hope you get more attention on them, bc the style and prose were great :)
ive had that happen to me so often😭 like smut writers r so talented!! but i read a beautiful gen/teen/mature fic & then click their profile, get excited i see same fandom!!! and then its all just smut.....
It's such an encouraging feeling for writers too whenever they're worried about being too repetitive with their tropes and character dynamics 😄 Some things just never get old, "hell yeah there are TWO cakes" and all!
MOOD. Although it's weird on an author's end when you find a clutch of kudos from fics you wrote about a decade ago and don't remember anything about them. They are like- greetings from a past life. It's oddly warming though.

I'm not speaking from personal experiences at all.😭😭😭
But I'm also waay to shy to say anything to them cause they're amazing at writing.
