Veronica8

I found this as a pinned item on Discord, so can view it as official.

Requirements to be featured:
1. 20k+ Words.
2. Daily updates.
3. High collection:views ratio.

Veronica8 guess i'll have to get my creative juices flowing daily now :')

chonnie yeah. Unfortunately this tells me they aren't interested in the finished work as much as ones with dailies. Shame.

Chryiss Thanks! I know some of my readers like to re-read it and I access it several times a day just to look at comments. Reply when I can. I'm so weird. ʱªʱªʱª (ᕑᗢूᓫ∗)

Ranking 601-602 today. I am amazed. Never expected this. Anyway, it feels good.

Angelyay I also found out last week.

The contest is now over! I haven't been bleeding collections yet so that's good. But in another two day's time I'm officially starting the whole novel! Needless to say, I'm pretty damn excited because I actually planned for once. And there's gonna be a mass release too. Hehe

My World To Live 636:1

RE: Life as a Tree 352:1

Still waiting for the day when the tree story surpasses the world one in collections. Although not many, the tree constantly grows while the world one fluctuates at basically the same number. I wonder if this is symbolism in real life? The plant that grows, reaching new heights, the world that’s chaotic but remains the same. ;P

Chryiss Lol! Your tree story is on fire.

Veronica8 I see whatcha did there.

Lady_Liah I love that story so much! You are super awesome!

166k/234 : 709.
Getting a bit better, which is kinda funny when I have barely upload anything in the last few weeks. Gaining more collections when I don't write than when I write.

Veronica8 Lol the strike through text comment! PS stats to others is interesting!

Innovation Funny, I noticed that too with mine.

Veronica8 crap. I got a contract. How is that even possible when I don't rank?

Veronica8 Congratulations!!

Veronica8 Omgeeeeee CONGRATS!!! I’m so happy for you!! You totally deserve it girlie! Paving the way for all BLs haha! Or even just hidden gems in general I guess. At least, I’m guessing it’s not the only story of yours that isn’t BL.

Chryiss It was fun whilst it lasted. I declined the contract for reasons that it wouldn't end up a right fit for my story. I'm very happy that they were willing to take it on. That means there is hope for an audience here. I'll continue to slog it out on my own means for the time being.

Wizard007 This conversation might help answer the question.

Anyway. The taste of stardom was good while it lasted. Back to reality. Today's stats.

Woah! This just in. :confetti_ball: TO MY SUNFLOWER WON THE WATTPAD WRITER'S CIRCLE AWARD :confetti_ball: Holy crap! This is the first time I've ever won anything with my writing. This one had a lot of hefty players in the Historical Fiction category too. Even though it's a community award, this one took 3 months of elimination.

This week Zaldizko go a contract here. Seems my lucky stars are aligned this week. That's it! I'm buying a lottery ticket!

An update!

When will WN finally release the results?? TwT I wanna see how badly I did lol

On the other hand! I finally started posting chapters for IEIWE

IEIWE- 29:1

Still a good ratio. Hurmhurm very pleased :D

Veronica8 Interesting. I would be curious how it would work out since you self-published. But you’re right about the McDonald’s swindle (I cracked up how you said this XD). Yes, keep at it, this is a nice boost of confidence and motivation to continue!

Veronica8 Haha yes it must be a lucky day! XD Congrats too on the Wattpad award!!

Now this is where everything really starts to go downhill(compared to before, at least. My skin isn't thick enough to say that my ratio is bad)

IEIWE- 47:1

chonnie Relatable! :')

Since it's been some time, I thought I'd share mine as I have a new fic now. XD

[New Contest Story!] Big Hit's New Girl Group: I'm a K-Pop Star?! - 153:1

[Rising collections tho I haven't posted anything new recently huh] RE:Life as a Tree - 374:1

[Currently being rewritten on Royal Road] My World To Live - 629: 1

chonnie Ooh nice numbers

Veronica8 Hmm. It's strange that I have a high number of collection adds (almost double to my daily average view rate), yet little power stone gains if any.

Then again. I noticed that 90% of Boys Love (LGBT in general for the matter) have this pattern. There is a lot of high views and comments, but little to zero power stone gains. I think the most I saw on one story was just under 100 power stones. So, I can deduce that people who read BL/LGBT just read and nothing else. It also confirms that LGBT and BL stories have a long way to go to be a mainstream sub-cat of the Romance genre at this site. Actually, in mainstream digital book and social story sharing sites in general.

Veronica8 Interesting deduction.

Veronica8

Well, a good part of it is because in general LGBT stories are made/tailored for those people.

For example, I looked at your novel Dragoneth, I feel like the hook of the novel gay incest, which many people find morally wrong.

While, I do not have an issue with consented incest, I would not read your story because you made it a plot point rather than something in the novel.

It was not the story of two brothers who did blah blah, which is why I would pass right away.
