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.  ;-)

I think on fanfiction as well, unless you remember to hit the >> thing to go to the latest chapter, then you have to go to chapter 1 to get to the rest of the chapters. And unless you're always up to date with a new story you may not want the latest chapter, so would go to 1 to get to the dropdown menu. So it would e normal to see a much bigger hit count on chapter 1, then a big drop. It doesn't mean that all those people stopped reading it!
