It's only been a few days, but ever since I changed a bunch of my fic titles as part of the [tumblr.com profile] end-otw-racism call to action, my kudos have completely dried up. I'm currently choosing to believe that this is a reflection on the importance of titles for drawing people in, but I also only changed the title of one fic that was co-authored by anyone. One of the ones I didn't change is The Soulmate Liar AU, and I've been getting at least one kudo for it almost every day since it was first posted to AO3.

Again, it's only been a few days, so there's really not enough data yet, but this is still an... interesting development.

For what it's worth, I do think titles are very important to a lot of people.

Particularly, in this case, where the title has clearly been changed to make a point; I wonder if many people are suspicious that the text of the fic may also have been altered or removed?

I'd say 'make a spreadsheet to keep track' but I try not to inflict my strange hobbies on other people. :D
