@Satsuma yeah we ended up with 3 bookmarks (all private, ofc) without any comments/kudos, which is fine, just very funny to me.

(it's rated E! but it's not actually JUST porn! Because you actually have context: it's a really weird AU pairing I wrote in which Thallan Shara destroys the city and, well, it's fine, don't worry about it)

@ljwrites

@ljwrites @titania people who voluntarily go on ao3 and then are too embarrassed to kudus porn baffle me

@Satsuma seriously if you're that fussed about it log out and kudos as a guest! NO ONE WILL KNOW @ljwrites

@Satsuma @titania @ljwrites oh I sometimes private-bookmark something in order to leave a note to myself; I find it helpful to note that I have in fact read the fic (or dnf'd the fic) but disliked it for xyz reason, so future me can have a reminder if I ever stumble across the fic again and not spend any further time on it.

but idek about subscriptions. if I like something enough to subscribe I'm def hitting that kudos button!

@Satsuma @titania @ljwrites I private-bookmark every fic that I think I might want to read but haven't read yet (and I put an "unread" tag on it).

When I read it, I remove the tag, leave kudos, etc. but I don't delete the bookmark.

@lookitmychicken @Satsuma @titania Ah, that makes sense! I remember my friends telling me some people use susbscription/follow as bookmarks when I wondered about users doing this.
