Although I've read stories here over the years I've never submitted one before last week:

So I have a few general questions. What is the 'normal' hit rate for new work? I am guessing that you can't vote unless you've signed up and logged in, so the votes are from members - probably other writers for the most part? I am assuming that the vast (overwhelming) majority of readers are not members - so a vote to hit ratio of 2 or 3/1,000 views is typical perhaps?

I am also guessing that the aims of the majority of readers are likely somewhat different than those of the 'likely voters'

There is no normal hit rate. Too many variables.

You don't have to be either a registered member or signed in to vote/comment.

There's probably no ratio to be drawn between readers and readers/voters. Again, too many variables.

Exactly what SR stated. The day, the category, the length of your piece all come into play. Just kick back and enjoy your new-found prestige, status and glory as a newly published Lit author.

LOL, ok - I suppose the fact that I never noticed the vote icons and comment box before might imply something. Thanks for the info.

Too funny DK, point taken.
