THE THING

You’ll never forget it

It doesn’t matter that you’ve got that stupid accent, or that your bits are different to my bits, but because being a Derry Girl, well, it’s a fucking state of mind. And your one of us.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a lie can run round the world before the truth has got its boots on.

You may have heard a rumour that authors will “know” when you hit the kudos button more than once. This is unfortunately not true. Authors get notified once about kudos - the first time you hit the button. AO3 sends out an email about kudos once per day, so the author finds out then. Any other button mashing you do, they won’t be told about. 

I believe this rumour started innocently enough. At one point in time, if your internet connection was slow and you hit the button fast enough, AO3′s system would register more than one kudos for a user. That’s why some fics used to have the same user name in the kudos list multiple times and authors would get that same email with multiple entries for the same person kudosing. 

In April, AO3 fixed that issue. They removed all additional kudos that had been left on fics up to that point, and with the new system in place users can’t leave multiple kudos anymore.
