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!

        Chryiss in short, it wouldn't. The contract is for the product brand not just the book. Shame.

        I might see if they'd like the CEO one, since that's just one single brand I don't mind signing to them. Especially since it was conceived on this site. I'll wait until I finish the story.

          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

          Recently I got into giving really lengthy reviews. It's fun.

          Hmm lets have a look.

          Blue Phoenix - 295:1 (54 chapters)
          Overthrowing Fate - 166:1 (28 chapters)
          Condemning the Heavens - 185:1 (29 chapters)

              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

                  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.

                      Veronica8 It May be because collects is anonymous and stones are not—not everyone is comfortable being open in their interest or support

                      I read and write BL and other genres — but I have no idea what ratio are exclusive and if it is more than romance, harem, beast taming etc

                          Acutelittletrap but I didn't write any incest though. The brother that is gay is in a relationship with a non related man. The other brother is straight. They're about to go and rescue his girlfriend.

                          Also I see your point about perception. Although I don't know how you drew the conclusion of incest from my blurb or even my cover. My blurb doesn't even mention on incest or love between the brothers. My cover is dragons. I classified the story BL because there is a main romance between two men that is a focal point. Since there is 3 x MC.

                          So I'm really baffled where you saw the incest plot point.
