hmpffor instance, the *only* comment the story got on AO3 is from a reader who doesn't know the fandom at all, and got there via a rec from *another* "external", i.e. non-LoM-fandom reader.
I mean, this is brilliant, of course! Getting feedback and recs from readers who aren't into the fandom you're writing about is among the biggest compliments there are, in my book, because it's that much harder to make someone care about your characters if they're not already invested in them. So, wow, that comment and that rec made me very, very happy.
But to have that be the *only* feedback you get in a given place is also... somewhat weird, isn't it? :D
(Yes, I do know it's because everyone else already commented on LJ.)
