Chryiss Really? I usually start of with 4 digits XD. I agree if you're already an established author with a solid following, it's natural for people to instantly check out the new stuff.

I'm happy with my numbers of late. They're not big time, but the consistent read interest is very reassuring. BL itself is a hard sell, so to have people continue to be interested is promising.

    Yeah, like Chryiss said, it's because mine is in a contest. Enjoying the bliss while it lasts hahaha. I'm fully expecting it to drop.

      My contest ones are still 4 digits, lol! All good, not like I'm really doing anything with them. Just adding to the numbers.

        Heh.

        I have one that it 4200:1 ;)

        My short stories have far nicer ratios, but it kind of doesn't count when collections are counted in single digits.

            Shorts: Hmm lemme see.

            Exceptional 686 / 5 = 343:1

            Those left Behind 1285 / 8 = 161:1

            Alarm Clock and Mirror 6813 / 2 = 3406:1 (this one is clearly labelled as a one off joke, so people aren't really supposed to add it to a collection)

              Veronica8 Well I wouldn’t expect a oneshot to get followers since it’s one and done. XD Maybe if you ever participate in a longer story that’s an easier sell? Or wacky enough maybe like that tree.

                Today's batch.

                Zaldizko {BL} Ratio 316:1↑9
                Done & dusted :grin:

                Note: Interesting that my only non-BL long-running story isn't attracting reader interest. I guess it's only 11 chapters in, so still early days.

                  Nidalee Well that's a 318:1 views to collection ratio, so I'd say that's very good!

                      eternalotaku Inkstone (computer/online) will tell you how many collections you have; the number is in the same area as where the views and word counts are. On mobile, collections are the number next to the star icon.

                          IEIWE is going at a steady pace~

                          Surprisingly, after about a week, it's still quite steady. Views are increasing nicely too, about 200-300 per day--which is good considering it's a single chapter
