Hail folks,
I just have three quick questions to ask more experienced authors. Thanks for your time.
1. I recently posted a new story, and for the first 2 days, it's view count rose steadily. Slowly but steadily. Then, it stopped at 1,943. It has not increased in 3 days. I find this surprising, as it's prior chapters have increased gradually over time, and are still increasing. Even this story's votes are increasing, again slowly, but they're there. Is there a glitch here, or has literally no one looked on this story in 3 days, despite all of my others getting views?
2. A while ago I submitted a non-erotic story, which I assumed meant that the story needed no erotic content. However, readers seemed to hate it and one insisted that even in the non-erotic category, erotica is still expected. Is this in fact the case? If so, perhaps this should be clarified, as I assumed "non-erotic" denoted a place for non-erotica stories.
3. I'm considering starting a website to showcase my stories and sell some of them on the Kindle. Is there any way to encourage my readers to support me in this endeavor, or would that be considered advertising and thusly be forbidden?
