Meta Monday - "Fics that did exactly as well as I expected"
Added 2024-04-15 10:00:04 +0000 UTCNot gonna lie this post started as a joke, but then I thought, you know what? I do have a few that fit this criteria!
Teaming Up
There isn't a huge market for Bakawks, let alone Dekubakawks, so I definitely didn't expect this one to be super popular. I think the 800 kudos it has is a very respectable number!
I wrote this for a zine, and not long after the zine was published and people started posting their works etc, there was a hate-wave online for dekawks, so I posted this out of spite. Normally I don't put my zine fics on Ao3, but this one clearly needed to be posted, and I don't regret dragging 800 people into my dekubakawks team.
The Crux of the Matter
This is the most niche, silly, and self-indulgent fic I've ever written, so I am not at all surprised that it, much like Teaming Up, got a respectable 800 kudos - it's far too niche to blow up, but just fun enough to get some people to read.
Apparently it inspired a lot of people to go rock climbing, so that's a success in itself!
Be a Good Boy
I mean let's just be perfectly honest: Everyone loves a submissive Kacchan and a kinky fic. It rides that line where it's too kinky to be mainstream but not kinky enough to blow up in that side of the fandom, and it's too short to get a ridiculous amount of attention, but personally I think almost 2k kudos on this is very fair and expected.
You should definitely read this one if you haven't, I think it's fun!
