For the first time in at least a dozen years, I didn't get a single kudos on AO3 on Friday 17th.

I've had days where I had two kudos, and days where I had one. But other than when the system was entirely down, pretty much ever since I started writing in the MCU, I've had a kudos email every day.

Not anymore.

It's very quiet on TikTok tonight. I've seen more Aussies and Canadians and people with less than 50 likes this evening than I have in the entirety of my time on TT. Also, lots more people finding my 'content' (honestly, it's a lot of people talking right now) and holding conversations.

And they're all so nice. I could yell "GUN CONTROL IS A BEAUTIFUL THING" and...the comments would be almost entirely positive and any negative comment would get taken out the back to have the shit beaten out of it.

...it's...oh man, guys. This must be what it feels like to get out of an abusive relationship. The peace and quiet. No more waiting for the axe to land. No belligerence. No hostile takeovers.

Wow.

As much as I love my American friends, your countrypeeps do kind of take up all the oxygen in the room...

I'm contemplating a social media break for the next week. No Suck/Xitter apps. We'll see how I last. (Probably not very well.)

--

I did see someone call a Cybertruck a Twitter Twuck, and that is now the proper and right term for them.

I was hoping to finish The Civilian Peace tonight, but concentration has been absolutely shot (for reasons above).

I was looking at a couple of old (VERY old) AO3 statistic posts:

2011 | 2015 | 2018

I could have sworn I've done at least one of these in the last six years, but if so I didn't tag it. Weird.

Interestingly, the stats have changed quite a bit over the last two years.

2024 AO3 meme: the stats have changed )

The appearance of Bridgerton on the scene has definitely changed the shape of the statistics, although there are also oddities in there - SGA/Black Jewels (not even my major story in that fusion AU), Justice League (from the mid 00s), a Rogue One Jyn/Cassian story, and my Aravis/Cor romance.

I haven't done a very thorough look at the stats for a while, so it's interesting to see what has changed and what hasn't in that time.

Huh, I only just learned about this!

At AO3, you can nominate a fannish next-of-kin in the event of your death; of course, they'd have to be someone who would be likely to know or be informed that you were dead in RL so they could act in their FNOK role.

I keep on thinking I really need to sort out my digital decease - at least an instruction to my inheritors as to what to do with my accounts. A lot of my life is lived online and I think there are a few people who wouldn't mind knowing What Happened, rather than just having to go with She Vanished And We Never Met Again.
