i got the usual AO3 email (i am the privileged and long-term prolific sort who is blessed enough to get several of these a week, if not quite daily) with the digest of all the kudos’d works and I was like oh hm somebody read my SG-A back catalogue, how funny someone else was doing it at the same time as me, ha ha, then I remembered I’d read it at work logged-out in that browser and so probably, like a dork, had kudos’d my own works, because it’s a reflex when I get to the bottom of something that I read all of and wasn’t like, hate-reading against my will or whatever (you know the kind, where you’re like UGH I have to know how this ENDS and I RESENT MYSELF for it), and I’ve only just realized that of course they don’t show the Leave Kudos button when it’s your own works so this is why I don’t usually have this issue. But of course I was logged out, so. 

yes i am a loser and yes I liked my own stuff but listen, it is ingrained, if I read a thing and I get to the end and liked it, I whack that button, ok.

at least I didn’t post comments on my own shit, ok

I was actually pleasantly surprised when I read some of my old work. It wasn't as bad as I expected, and I probably would have left a kudos on it back in the day.*g*

I was actually a little disappointed in these. Like, sure, they were engaging and decently-written, but i remembered them as being way better, and now I super understand why they made so few rec lists. It wasn't the writing but the structure, but still. As someone who still struggles with structure, I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.

This is the single most valid and charming form of dorkiness, okay. Like, your politeness to others is so ingrained that you accidentally did a nice thing for yourself LOL.
