So... The Story I wrote after staying up all night due to drinking way too much caffeine is now my most liked story ever. · 2:50am Mar 16th, 2016
I... Is it too late to admit I have no idea what I'm doing anymore?
A somewhat deranged author who likes science and writing stories with way too much dialogue. Recently got it through her thick skull that she was a girl.

No, I loved the story! It's great! I'd love to see it continue or maybe a sequel
So it goes. Seriously, I've been making things and putting them on the internet for forever and how much I like something/how much effort I put into it vs. how much the rest of the universe likes something are annoyingly unrelated.
Great story, though. We love it regardless of the circumstances of its birth.
My boyfriend's most-acclaimed story was banged out in a couple hours as a first draft. Even I rank it in his top three. And I've pre-read like ALL of them.
Sometimes you get an idea that just works.
(I think it helps that it's a compact short story playing to your strengths and incorporating your insight, which means that some of the technical details in longer fics aren't necessarily present)
