Like I've said in different threads before, I write for myself: because I like it and want to improve my English, not to support a self-image or anything.
With no - or at least a very small (like 35 followers...) - fan base I don't get that many reads, votes or comments: 6-14.000, 50-350 and 2-10 respectively. I have taken this for what it is and most of the time it doesn't help a lot in improving either my language or writing skills.
So, with my latest story (Love and trust: https://www.literotica.com/s/love-and-trust-1) I did something new and out of character for me: I added this plea after the story for votes and comments.
'Dear Reader
If You have the time, may I suggest that You vote or leave a comment now? That is after all the only reward we who write and publish here on Literotica get: Your judgement.
Thank You.

At 4800 reads after two days I now have 10 comments, 270 votes (1 vote in 17 reads!) and several added followers.
My question is this:
Was it - in your opinion - the plea that caused this increase in votes, comments and followers, or the somewhat controversial subjects of sex trafficking and religion?
I know that it is impossible to answer with certainty, but what do you think? Is there any point in repeting the plea?
