So, people like my story! Yay!
Though, my half-baked theory that the more plot = the less comments seems... pretty correct, actually. Hahaha...haaah... <-- somewhat exhausted laughter because I heart feedback but omg writing porn is GRUELLING.
ETA: okay, writing the above makes me SO PARANOID because it's this THING again where if you talk about what it's like to receive feedback then you are being precious. And yet that site of engagement is such a complex one that I wish wish WISH fandom as a whole was more open to meta'ing and being frank about it (I know, I have said this before, but then I get - hah - paranoid, and lose my nerve and delete after all). But I am trying to be brave, and not think about being silently judged. CAN WE PLEASE, AS A COMMUNITY, JUST TALK ABOUT IT?
Ahem.
Anyway. Speaking of writing stuff, I am going to re-do the Nerdy PSA into a v.2, seeing as lots of people are still using it and I think I could tidy it up a bit and integrate a bunch of stuff left in the comments. If you have anything to add/weigh in on wrt accessibility and casual coding that isn't covered there, drop me a comment/PM/pigeon?
omg productivity!

For example, at the present, the most read is the longest posted there, a multi-part Highlander story. With multiple crossovers, sex, and a cat as a major OFC. Seriously.
The second, another Highlander story, is fairly long, all about D/s play, sexy and plotty.
I have a virtual tie for third most read. Two are long Highlander movie AUs (one has absolutely NO sex in it). While the third is STIX, medium length, plotty and almost sexless. Of course, what's there is prime. Lalala
What I'm saying, is that in my experience there's no accounting for taste.
Oh, yes, most importantly, in over 2000 hits in 6 months, I've had FOUR people comment.
I no longer think about getting feedback. I write the story I want to read, and would like to share. I set it free, and watch my statistics. Of course, the more often you post at WWOMB, the more readers you attract to older stories. Readership goes up.
Feeback is wonderful, and I do love when it happens. But that was never why I wrote to begin with.
Um, sorry to have rambled all over your lj.
Yeah.

I don't think there's a rule that can be applied across the board - the patterns vary depending on the archive, the fandom, and the author's position in it. It's all pretty fascinating, if totally unpredictable *g*
Ramble away!

Statistics are fun. Or funny.
