"The folly of leadership is knowing that, no matter what you do, behind your back there are hundreds, certain that their own solution is the sounder one, and that your decision was the by-product of a whimsical dart toss. I pronounce the blast sentence, and I soak the critical fallout."

In November of 1938, I was translating documents in Leipzig, Germany written by a purported Crusades-era necromancer.

It was shortly after Waterloo when I was Embraced by a Belgian noble.

Another AO3 thing I’m curious about, how do yall decide if something is good enough to read? Usually I follow a rule of 1 kudos for every 10 hits. One because it’s easy math and two it’s yet to fail me. Thoughts? Do you just go for it and pray it’s good?

#would never have occurred to me in a billion years to look at kudos #do the masses know what id like? legit question it didn't occur to me to dig data about that #looking at hits?? never done it #again. does the majority like what i like? unsure and now I gotta go back and check ig??#i decide if something's good enough to read by reading it #well ok lets see.#i filter by rated explicit. english language. no crossovers. completed status. exclude tags im tired of seeing #then i look at the tags. did they use the tagging system correctly or did they use it like a tumblr post #like stream of consciousness type babbling? then i don't read that!#then i read the summary. does it have proper grammar and punctuation? if not. i don't read that #does it say i suck at summaries or i cant write this sucks? i don't read that #then i read the first line and put it through the same test as the summary #then i read the first paragraph and put it through the same test as the summary #and thats how decide if somethings good enough to read #curious about this faffing about with numbers #genuinely what kind of math you all out there doing???
