Bored...stats...:)

[claudia603]

Huh. Was bored last night because I was too exhausted to do anything meaningful or useful. Even watching television or reading fan fic was not doing it for me. So I aimlessly wandered the web...

I was looking at my hit counts on Archive of Our Own (if anyone wants an invite, I think I have one left). Now, I still don't have all my fics up there,

I have a special place in my heart for all the Too Long to Wait fics - I'm glad all your fics have a new home where they can find a new audience!!

I'd love to go and re-read some of these - if only there were more hours in the day!! *hugs*

naww....very sweet of you to say that! **hugs and love**

He, that's very interesting findings. :D But I have also noticed on LJ that longer fics get less comments than shorter and funny ones get more comments than serious ones - and I think it has to do not so much with how much people have liked the fics but that they think for something long or something serious they need to write "better" feedback and feel not up to the task and then leave without any kind of comment. :S

[claudia603]

That's an interesting point on the longer, more serious fics! Makes sense to me! I know I put off reading longer fics a lot of times, waiting for the right opportunity, when I have a bigger chunk of time...and then it never happens! D: So yeah, I totally understand that idea! :)

But of course the big problem is that that writing long, serious fics takes a lot of time and when the authors feel that no one is reading because no one is leaving feedback then they'll stop writing. :(((

[claudia603]

Yes, exactly! :( I have so many abandoned projects because of that, myself...

In general, I think the LOTR fandom needs a major boost right now!

I just found this post, so I'm commenting now. :D

Are all the TLTW posts on Archive of Our Own? I remember asking you a while back where they all were.. and now I forget again. *sigh*

[claudia603]

omg, I wish I could remember! :D I'm thinking that they may not all be up there yet, although I think I was getting close... I know I'm not finished getting all my fic there...(but yay, almost summer for me)

Could you figure it out and let me know? :D That's one of my favourite stories.
