Geepers!

I've accomplished a personal best with the Methos Iron Man fic. I've never gotten so many comments on a story before. It's rather mind boggling and unbelievable, like I think they meant to comment on some other person's fic instead of mine. Surely not that many people read, let alone liked, something that I wrote!

Dang.

Ith, if they commented on your fic it was because they liked your fic!

Yeah, I know that intellectually, but I'm not used to popularity in any venue, so it's a little freaky [g]

We like you, we really like your stories.

Thank you :) I still bear mental scars from school, it would seem.

You're welcome. We all have our own scars.

That's wonderful, Ith! I've been meaning to apologize, because I haven't been commenting on your fics lately. I've had "I Remember You Not Fondly" open on a tab for at least a week now, because I'm going to read the finished product, but I've been really stressed out these past few weeks and haven't been reading, much less commenting on *anything*, though I feel bad about it. I'm going to try to do better in the next few weeks though. ^^

[HUGS] No apologies necessary. I just hope you enjoy it when you do get a chance to read it. It was so nerve wracking to write!

Feel better!

Awesome feeling isn't it? So very happy you are getting good reviews! BTW, you deserve it!

Hee! No kidding!

Isn't it just wonderful when that happens? You deserve it!

I got totally gobsmacked by the number of comments on one of mine not so long back... there were so many it went to 2 pages. Seeing as I'm doing well for comments if I manage to get into double figures I was totally bowled over. It's a great feeling.

Silly woman. Of course they read and liked it.

*smacks the surprised look off your face* then *hugs* Seriously Ith, it's about time you get the recognition you deserve - plus it was a great piece.

Well, thank you :) But it's a wee bit freaky [g]

[identity profile] strangevisitor7.livejournal.com 2008-05-30 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I know - I felt the same way when comments passed 50 for the first time on one of my stories.

It must be the style of my journal but I've never gone to 2 pages even on one entry that passed 90 comments. They just keep folding up.

Anyway GO You!

After writing and posting for 12 odd years, I've never gotten 50 comments -- still haven't [g] This one is at 32ish. The total is 64, but half are my replies, so that leaves about 32 actual comments.

Of course - So many of my threads turn into repeated replies - I'm not sure of the total number of people commenting. But 30+ is great. I'm always happy when it hits double digits.
