Where did I go wrong?

I’ll produce a work equal to yours.

Just sayin', one of mine has 5 votes and .22% vote percentage. After being up for a year.

I've stopped trying to make sense out of the stats. My first story appears to have been well received but after that the numbers are all over the place. I was getting discouraged when I realized something. Every story got at least one heart. I gained three followers with my worst rated story. There's satisfaction in that. One person said I like your style, or better yet, I like your work.

Look at it this way, you can't troll bomb the Favorite and Follower stats.

Thank you for that information. Will I use it in the future to assess my work. I just won’t dwell on it to much. I have more in the works, and of course this knowledge can be incorporated in the future. Hopefully, someday, I’ll produce a work equal to yours.

There's a thread in the Authors' Hangout with our tips and tricks for getting a better view-to-vote ration: Making the reader finish.

True, I did receive one comment that made it all worthwhile,
