#it definitely happens sometimes on Problematic Fics(tm) and/or smut; but just as often it happens on things that are neither

[angorwhosebabyisthis]

sometimes while going through my fandom stuff i'll find privated/ghost interactions with it, and on the one hand i know there's any number of reasons someone might want some privacy and i respect that 100%. and it's also weirdly flattering! and i'm glad people are able to enjoy my stuff in whatever kind of peace it is they're maintaining. especially if it's something without a lot of other content out there.

on the other hand i am always so so curious. who are you stranger what was it you liked about my thing. who are the other enjoyers out there

#whosebaby talks #i say this because i've been going through my ao3 recently; and finding private bookmarks for fics i posted years ago #it's really cool honestly and a nice surprise when it happens; but also i'm Nosy and like to know who to wave at #it definitely happens sometimes on Problematic Fics(tm) and/or smut; but just as often it happens on things that are neither #and that's really interesting to me #and the years-old ones especially tend to stick around in my head #because my general policy is it's fine if you want to contact me privately or on anon about my stuff! it will stay private/anon if so #(unless you are a minor; in which case i am super not comfortable with that please don't) #but if something is from years ago then the person is probably long gone from like. Being Provided with That Context #even if they'd have taken you up on it at the time; so i guess i'll never know
