Is it that bad?

[mikey2much]

Three hundred views and no votes, is it that bad?

Sometimes it takes a while...

300 views is not a lot. My latest story has 30,000 view and only 383 votes so don't be dismayed yet.

How's this for futility? One of my stories: 19,345 views, 15 votes, one public comment (my own). But don't get me wrong, I love Literotica.

I think that is about normal

I think about one vote per thousand reads is a pretty close to correct, or is seems to be on my stories.

I just thought that this was a special story and I liked the characters so much I guess I hoped that the readers would too.

It's a weird thing, mikey. I've always been surprised that my shorter, stroke-type stories score lower than others. I mean, hey, it's a sex site, right? There are too many readers to guess what a group will like.

I like the characters

If there is a problem it is in the way I present these characters to my readers.

In simple terms, if this ain't the right way, I will give it some thought and try again, but the characters, I think are keepers.

Your stroke stories are too highbrow for me. I like a stroke story that pops with adjectives, one after the other, like a six-foot string of anal beads.

Can I use that analogy in my next stroke story? Perhaps make it more literal?

I've come to learn that when I like a story I wrote it is not going to do that well. The ones I posted with "yeah whatever" take off like bats out of hell.

I wouldn't worry much though, its not you. Those extra two seconds it takes to vote can be very taxing on people.

I should have stayed away from girl on girl.

I guess if you write what you know, I should've stayed away from girl on girl, I mean how in the hell could I possible know what that would feel like. Or maybe I should have put in more sex, (speaking as a man that should fix most anything) It is hard to say but I am disappointed non the less.

Well we will see what happens over the long run. I plan to finish both series, but I might take a break and write something else to let my ideas about these stories jell a bit more before I put them on paper.

Stay tuned.

thanks for you input guys and ladies.

Well of course if you write what you know, it will be better.

However, it is good to try to write what you don't and stretch the zone. If you want to write girl on girl read some Lesbian stories or ask someone if you know someone you can speak too in that way.

I'm currently writing a romance, pretty much on a challenge from someone here. Not sure how it will do, but am not going to know til I give it a shot.

Write for fun and experience Mikey, don't get too caught up in the numbers (although I know that's hard)

 

[mikey2much]

good advice LC

I know I really shouldn't let the numbers worry me but I do.

But you're right about writing. I like to try different things. I'm writing a ghost story now.

I try this thing with the ladies again down the road.
