I need to buy that paid time so I can edit my comments again...
Another thing I love about kudos is that it allows the lurkers to be seen and counted. There are people who've left kudoses on a dozen of my fic, but never a comment. The only reason I know they've read my fic at all is the kudos feature. And I don't for a second believe that without kudos they would've left a comment.
But with the kudos there they are. If they have an account I get to see their name and follow them through my fic and see what else they liked. I haven't written anything specifically for a frequent kudoser, but it's fun to know where our fannish interests line up. Especially when it's Big Fandom X and Tiny Fandom Y.
