In another thread I started regarding attracting views, two positions emerged.
The first position was that you should write for yourself, publish it, and not give a damn what the scores and views were. All the enjoyment was found in the writing.
The second position was that you should write for your audience, not for yourself. Writing two page strokers might not be fun as a writer, but it would reward you with higher scores and views. Give the audience what they want.
Both are good positions. But it begs the question - if you're writing for yourself, why publish here on Lit at all? If all the fun is in the writing... why publish?
Accordingly, I would suggest that everyone publishing on Lit is in fact interested in both views and scores, no matter what position they may state.
