Mindless rambling...
Just taking a little break from my rewrites, and I was thinking about Forest, and I looked over at the ten stories I have over at ff.net. So strange. Forest is one of my personal favorites, along with the Randy set, but that doesn't seem to be the case over there. The hands down favorite is Neverness. Forest comes in at number 8; Changeling is dead last (and by a *huge* margin), and Mon Bell Ami is 6th. Covenant, thank goodness, has been coming in 2nd for some time now; I'm almost having a competition in my head between that and Neverness :D
It's just odd, I guess. Thinking about what my favorites are, versus what readers (at least on ff.net) seem to prefer. And why they prefer the ones they do.
Makes one have a little more sympathy for publishers. ;-)

My top three over there are: A Brace of Drabbles (Maybe people like to dip in for bite sized chunks, Cabin Fever and A Choice of Nightmares. Then there's a big drop of nearly half tha number of hits to Unjust Desserts. (Though that's doing well, given that it's been on there less time than ACON or CF.
I never put Reunion on there, so I don't have stats for that, darn it.
Looking at what's been favourited by people the most, Cabin Fever come joint top along with - of all things - Twin Souls, the daft little short story where Murdock gives his theory that socks are reincarnated souls of star crossed lovers and sometimes they merge in the laundry and become one. (That's where the missing socks go.) People seem to like that one.
Most reviewed is definitely still Cabin Fever. It was wild when I was posting that, some people were reviewing every chapter as it came out, which isn't that usual on there.
