The trouble with hit counts

[lizardbeth]

When I post a multi-part fic to a place where I can see how many reads each part gets, I shouldn't look. It's depressing to know exactly how many people looked at part one and decided not to read any more. At least if it's a one-parter I can tell myself everyone who clicked on it actually read it (which is not true, but I can pretend).

But on the bright side I can presume that people who go on must think the story's okay, right?

Speaking of things that suck, I still have no voice. I'm like a boy frog going through puberty. Croak-squeak-whisper-croak I wish my vocal cords would just get better already.

And yet I have a new kick-ass Teyla icon, because she is of the awesome. Well, she would be, if TPTB ever got their heads out of their butts and let her be awesome again. So not all is bad.

Drop off of 20%? HA! :D


My adventures of Geek Sam went from 1200 hits to 300 on the 2nd chapter - that's maybe what? 75% drop? and I know EXACTLY where everyone abandoned ship

Geek!Girl Samantha with the glasses and her team clocked in at nine point four seconds....

And sadly, Samantha Carter always has a thing for the leader of whatever version of SG1 she’s in. Irregardless of whether it’s Teal’c, Janet, Martouf, Narim, Daniel, Jonas or Jack, the leader of SG-1 makes Samantha Carter’s heart beat faster.

In this story, it’s just too darn bad that Jack’s a General.

:P

Dude, PIT OF VOLES! My 20% dropoff on Going Home is at Symbiotica. On ff.net it's like 60% and that's without a, ahem, evil genius pairing. :P

So you're not squicking people much more than me. :D
Nice to have our genius so appreciated isn't it? ;)

yeah, agreed, it's the pits of voles and vipers at FF.net. i rarely post at symbotica as my muse for Selmak/Jacob? Slain, sadly due to a variety of issues. - FF is the only place I'm brave enough to post. :P But it's so reassuring to actually get a piece of positive feedback from the vole-people. :P

As for evil Genius pairing? Welp, I guess that's my problem. I have a squicky pairing in two of my unfinished stories. :)
