It's time for another fic engagement poll! I ran one of these a few years ago, and I'd like to see if the results have changed. Please reblog widely, so I can collect data beyond my niche fandom, and pick the option that best matches your engagement with the fic described! I kept most of the options similar as the last poll, but expanded the bookmarking options.
On the last poll, which got over 7k responses, over 15% of readers admitted they won't even leave kudos on explicit works - which matched up with my own stats where the explicit rating will halve the engagement (but there's a huge uptick in private bookmarks). Let's see what the current feeling is.
You read an Explicit fic on AO3 that you really like. How do you engage with it?

Read, no kudos or comment (don't want AO3 handle connected to smut)
Read, kudos but no comment (don't know what to say)
Read, kudos but no comment (self-conscious)
Read, no kudos or comment but public bookmark
