noctiferu Takes that one bad impression to bring the bunch down. I'n not a fan of real ppl fanfic either, so I don't try it.

I vaguely remember a conversation like this happening on Wattpad months back when BTS was killing the Fan fiction category. BTS fanfic is going to ruffle up feathers no matter where you put them.

    noctiferu Gah. If one has that much time fight the BTS fanfic Army, you'd think they'd use it to write a decent book.

      noctiferu I'm envious of the person who has time to do this. I barely have time to eat, sleep, wink.

      By the way, there was something weird with Inkstone a few days ago. My collections went down to 0.

      I stayed away from Inkstone for a while because I don't need that kind of negativity in my life. lol

      I guess it was a bug since things went back to normal a few days later. Did anyone else notice this?

          GrumpyNeighbor that was a bug. When the server is reset it refreshes the stats to zero. But it soon restores from a backup I presume as I've seen the stats correct itself to an earlier time period. This is purely my observations BTW.

          Also, seen my collection count go back to the time before a crash then right itself not long after site is restored.

          But there is a refresh delay between pc and mobile, which is why the tally might differ between the two systems for a spell.

          It always pays to keep your own story backups.

              Mine is 455.2-for 1.09M views. I'm fine with it and hope to improve in the future. Any suggestions to get more readers?

                _Transcendent Hmm... Things that usually attracts readers the most are:
                Amount of chapters you post a week
                The cover, and how appealing it is
                A synopsis that hooks the reader in, and a first chapter that also does that.

                    194k/271 - > 715 . Not really growing but not losing any more. At least, I escaped the hole that could have been the 1k ratio.

                    Veronica8 Check out Z book summary. It's towards the bottom beneath the --- ★ --- line. I figured this is the easiest thing to gain from reader commitment.

                    Veronica8 What is Quest-a-views?

                          scarlett1414 It's a past promotion, I canned it because it wasn't doing anything. Basically, I was asking for readers or anyone/thing to help reach a view count milestone. My short term one, initially, was 200K since I'm up at 137K. I wasn't seeing any takers, so canned the promotion.

                          I explain it in detail here
