those of us who do not mind reading porn about their friends.
Is it just me, or are there rather a lot of people about who'll read porn about anyone, the key content being porn?
If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock.

I'm reading Connie's Career Change series.
"A lot of you are mages, you all know your arcane lore, and you're used to leading and training."
"And then there's Wesley."
Snerk!

That's funny, Plei. Maybe I'm pretentious, too, Fay. Or maybe the story's both hot and pretentious, like Ralph Fiennes.

I've been quoted!! Whee!! I'm either going to expire from delight or cognitive dissonance.
"There were arrows on the platform, but you didn't find me thinking about St. Sebastian." snerk!! (It seems to be a day of exclamation marks)

27 months writing the story. Vicious (but worthy) beta from three machete wielders. Occasional stalking from readers and other members of the writing community. "You're gonna finish this, right?" Final size: 258K, four separate povs, half a dozen original characters. And plot, by god.
1400 hits on the webpage in the first 2 days after it goes up. A couple of emails from people saying, "Is there somewhere I can get the story all together?" Cheers on LJ from a couple of friends.
Total feedback emails: fewer than 10. That's less than 1% of the people who've hit the page to read it.
Why do I do this? Seriously. There's one more big fat part to this story, and I'm just... Feh. Why bother?

The hits are the feedback, Consuela, keep telling yourself that. For every person who wrote, there are a hundred who were too shy.
Yep, I look at the counter on my website a lot, just to keep myself going. I put counters on each story so I could tell what people read.

That isn't fun, Suela. It's not right of them. Even allowing that half the poeple have nothing to say or no time to say it in, less than 10 feedbacks isn't good.

I noticed that! I think I might do it, too.

I noticed that! I think I might do it, too.It was easier than paying for a web analysis breakdown, and it seemed relatively unobtrusive.
