In honor of Merlin trending today, let me provide you with an adorable headcanon visual.
Scrawny short voice-cracking pre-teen Arthur following Leon around the castle as his squire

Writing Merlin fic is just asking yourself how many homoerotic sword fights you can fit in there before it becomes too heavy handed

if it sucks hit da bricks <- litany against sunk cost
take it easy but take it <- litany against burnout/apathy cycle
fuck it we ball <- litany against perfectionism
now say something beautiful and true <- litany against irony poisoning

So...maybe I fed all 389 fic kudos numbers in Date Posted order into a spreadsheet to make a chart.
Huh, is my general response.

I just watched Damsel. Guys? It fucking slaps. Yes it’s a bit heavy handed at times but what can you expect for a fairytale honestly? The costumes looked great, the story was engaging, Millie Bobby Brown killed it especially considering she had to carry the whole second and third act with basically only a CGI dragon to interact with. If you were ever a teenage fantasy-loving girl, or someone who believed in their beliefs, this will call to that part of your soul. As @anarchycox put it, 12 year old me would have worn out the VHS.

A03 Kudos
Sometimes I get curious and sort my fics by kudos (this is for personal amusement when I am searching what to read I never sort by kudos)
Current works: 389
Top Stats: The Courting Season (Witcher Jaskier/Geralt)
Kudos - 8,312
Bookmarks - 3,130
Hits - 134,560
Lowest Stats: The Quiet Listening (ATLA Sokka/Piandao)
Kudos: 19
Bookmarks - 1
Hits - 97
In general I have 32 fics with UNDER 100 Kudos
I have 55 fics with OVER 1000 Kudos
What does it mean? I dunno. I do know that my numbers went way down after I archive locked my fics (especially on things that people will never want to admit on their main they enjoyed). My big numbers were because I hit fandoms right at the right time and lucked out. I'm a decent writer, lots out there significantly better than me.
I think the point of this though is when you've had big highs that 19 kudos can seem so damn small, but also hey 19 people liked it enough to kudos it. 19 people stuck in my house would make it feel pretty damn full.
It mattered to a couple people and that is pretty neat.

I desperately wish people would start actually reading the AO3's TOS before confidently making 'user guides' to the AO3 that are just blatantly, flatly wrong.
Yes the AO3 has banned content. They do not allow anything that's illegal under US law - though US law, importantly, does not ban fictional depictions of things - and they do not allow any commercial content. That includes your ko-fi link, or mentions that you do fic commissions. If you do post fic commissions to AO3 and want to mention the commissioner, the fic is a 'request' from the commissioner. This protects the AO3 and you from copyright law.
No the AO3 is not 'a creative fanfiction archive'. It is a fandom archive. Your meta, insights, and theories are absolutely welcome and encouraged there. AO3 also encourages you to post other types of fanworks, like fan videos, podfics, and art, but unfortunately isn't able to natively host those like it does text, so fic has kind of become what it's known for. That absolutely does not mean that other types of fanwork aren't allowed, or are discouraged by the site culture! Anybody who tells you otherwise is just plain wrong!

people telling you they reread your fic is the biggest compliment you could ever receive. there are thousands of stories out there begging to be found, to be explored, but your story meant so much to someone that they came back to it eagerly, they went over every word again. to love is to return and loving a fic is rereading it. thank you to all readers and rereaders <3333

As a college instructor I feel this post on a deep level. I read so much chatgpt and I fail it or take it as far as academic misconduct and honestly the cheating aspect of it isn't even what upsets me the most.
What breaks my heart about chatgpt is that it shows a lack of curiosity in the world and willingness to engage with ideas.
I never care about perfect answers, I care about can you take what we talked about and apply it interesting ways. And when I see this happen on a mass scale I end up saying to my classes "I am so sorry for whatever happened in this world to make you intellectually incurious so much so that you aren't even willing to try."
it's so fucking frustrating to be in college and know everyone uses chatgpt and to be tempted by it constantly while also knowing intellectually that it doesn't work and it's a bad idea. like, i hang out in the library a lot, and i see people using chatgpt on assignments almost every day. and i know it isn't a good way to learn, because it's not really "artificial intelligence" so much as it is an auto text generator. and it gives you wrong information or badly worded sentences all the time. but every week i stare down assignments i don't want to do and i think man. if only i could type this prompt into a text generator and have it done in 10 minutes flat. and i know it wouldn't work. it wouldn't synthesize information from the text the way professors want, it wouldn't know how to answer questions, it just spits out vaguely related words for a couple paragraphs. but knowing my classmates get their work done in 10 minutes flat with it while i fight every ounce of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in my body is infuriating.
