You find a really good fic. (Like really good, its unfinished but 31 chapters >100k words freaking incredible. The AU it's based on is on tumblr and you're semi-familiar and excited.)
You stay up until like 4am reading the fic at some point youre like i should probably check when this was updated before i get overly attached.
It was last updated last year but you were lying to yourself anyways you're already attached.
You force yourself to go to sleep you wake up and finish the last couple chapters.
ok cool last chapter ends with an authors note saying that "they're tired and taking a break from daily chapters because they don't want to burn out" and you're like "what daily chapters that's crazy" so you go and compare the date posted and the last updated date and turns out this whole fic was written in less than month
Probably safe to say that they may not be coming back for a while because that output level is basically inhuman
But whatever such is the way of ao3 you leave a couple nice comments and go to their tumblr
Tumblr says that they're an aspiring author
cool cool probably means they have other fics to read maybe its in the fandom you're reading in maybe not but they definitely at least have some original work posted
Genuinely how the fuck. Out of the 169 only 2 were the fandom i was reading (kpdh) but genuinely who cares what on earth do you have to be smoking to write that consistently. 169 fics.
