I just realized that my fic "Hey, Remus!" has 2387 views and 113 likes. It may not seem a lot, but it is for me, specially since this is a fanfic that is totally different from most. It's with an Originak Character (which are usually less popular - but I love them, they're the only ships I can deal with other than the canon ones), with adult characters, and clearly self-insert. Not the most popular tags.
So, having 2387 views and 113 likes in less then 3 months is really heartwarming.
Oh, not to mention the #1 ranking in Shifting and Original Ship and #3 in Fan Service.
I also got messages from readers who said they relate with my self-insert OC, which is a huge honour to me.
Thank you all for this. I'm working on the "hidden chapters", and when I find the time and motivation to start reading fanfiction again, I promise I'll read yours too (unless they are Wolfstar, sorry, I just can't ;'( ).
I wrote this story as a way of coping with a very stressfull time of my life, and it really helped me. I hope it can help other people too. <3
All my love to you.
