My latest story doesn't seem to be running up votes as quickly as some of the others I have posted in the past, but quite frankly I post so infrequently that I'm not sure what is normal. Currently I'm at about 40 votes in 4 days. Is that more or less than usual? I realize that many catagories accumulate votes/views faster than others.

How fast did you latest submission rack up votes? Catagory?

That's about average for me, but I don't have a "following."

I doubt I do either. I submit far to infrequently ot have any real loyal readers.

what imp said....and sometimes much less, depending on the category.

(and I don't have a following or a stalker :( )

40 in 4 days? Only one of my stories has over 40 votes. After more than a year.

My latest story has only 16 votes in total in eight weeks.

Must be targeting all the wrong categories or somehing. :rolleyes:

Stalking could probably be arranged. I have some connections.
 
Most of my stories aren't high in votes, but I submitted a fetishy/bdsm/loving wives story a couple weeks ago and over 70 votes the first few days (not necessarily high ones, but that's another matter). The story was on the first page of New stories, though, so that probably played a part as well as the category. My story previous to that only has 24 votes and it's been out there for months. So, I think a lot of variables go into voting.

That's shocking considering how good they are.
 
My stories with the highest # of votes are those which have been contest entries (and my Rainy Day Story Challenge story).

All my hard work and she doesn't even notice. Sniff.

You're not a stalker, love, you're a very nice man who wastes much of his time reading my scribbles. :kiss:
 
Seriously, it really depends.

My latest is a short piece of smut, 31 votes and 4.61 score. Which is a little better than average for my short pieces of smut.

My longer, more involved pieces usually get a lot more votes and better scores. Although I'm still not sure what I did right for my best piece. 269 votes and 4.85 score.

Yeah, I'm bragging. Sue me.

It's worth every second of my time, sweetie. Not a waste at all.

Cloudy, meet Bob. He'll be your stalker for the next month.

Bob is 47 and lives with his mother just outside of Cleveland. Bob likes College comedies from the 80's, beef jerky, polka music, and has the biggest collection of taxidermed guinea pigs in Ohio. He is a very competent and dedicated stalker, and he takes his mission very seriously. We here at StalkMe Inc can assure you that Bob will show up on your doorstep when you least expect it.

I think it's the category alot of times. Most of my stories had well over 50 votes in the first week; those that didn't get them the first week most likely still don't have many votes.

MC has a very loyal following, I suspect that may have someting to do with many of my past stories racking up so many votes so fast. This one seems slower but apparently it's still pretty fast.
