a Calufrax confession

I've already previously confessed in my journal that I am one of those sad people who becomes obsessed over how many reviews they get for their stories on Teaspoon. Here's an even sadder confession: after doing a week of recs on Calufrax, I got obsessed over how many reviews other people were getting for their stories on Teaspoon. Yes, after reccing a story in the morning, I would check back multiple times in the day to see if that person got any new reviews on the story.

I really am a crazy person.

But I guess I felt that if an author didn't get new reviews, then my rec hadn't done a good enough job of explaining how wonderful and awesome the story is and why people should go read it right away and leave reviews telling the author how wonderful and awesome the story is.
