#was curious and checked: my first kudos email was in 2012

[darsynia]

I have a bit of an arm injury right now that makes extended typing painful, and it's taking forever to heal (pulled a muscle and man, I am no action hero to shrug this shit off), but one thing I could do was clear out my email! I am one of those weirdos with a bunch of unread marketing BS emails clogging up my unreads, heh.

In the end, this was my delete tally (the blue is the progress bar for the 'yet to be deleted' queue):

Turned out to be 2/3 of my archive, which stretches back to 2003.

Besides the goofy emails my husband and I sent each other in the time before imessage, my favorite email discovery today was the tally of kudos emails. I know there are absolutely people with more of these, but I was just tickled by this:

That's just over 7 years of once-a-day kudos emails! I've had an AO3 account for 5172 days and loved every single second of it. Thanks to everyone who's ever read anything of mine, double thanks for hitting that kudos, and my eternal thanks for those lovely souls who've told me what they think! After clearing out the marketing and unnecessary emails, my inbox is almost all fanfic notifs because I hoard them like a weird dragon and I wouldn't have it any other way.
