Question

[lady_karelia]

I'm interested in finding out the average number of review per reads, could you humour me, please? Look at the number of reads you get, and the number of reviews for any given chapter. Divide the number of reads by the number of reviews. Thanks bunches.

Most places I post don't have the option of viewing the number of hits, so I'll just give you my stats from TPP.

On It All Comes Down To Time, I average a review for every 38 hits. On The Sponge Bath I averaged a review per every 18 hits. The Sins of Sex averaged one review per every 28 hits. Eternal Love averaged a review per every 24 hits. In the Name of Research averaged one review per every 50 hits.

All of those but Time are one shots. Time is at nineteen chapters now. Hope that helps! :)

Thank you, that was helpful! I've had a feeling that one-shots somehow draw more reviews than WIPs. :-)

Oh, yeah. I always average more reviews on one-shots. I think that the majority of people want some quick entertainment, so a one-shot fits the bill nicely. It is hard to get involved in a multichaptered WIP. You never know if it will be finished. Plus, it takes a lot of time to get through a longer story. I'm glad I could help. Let me know how things shape up. :)
