A few months ago, one in fifty review/reads was pretty much the norm, with erotica much higher and rare pairings considerably lower. The dynamics have changed over the past six months or so. Several people are currently trying to push the review issue. Yes, I know, we all write for ourselves. But I have no doubt that the vast majority of us love receiving reviews, not even squeeful ones, but simply the acknowledgment that someone who reads the chapter/story is sufficiently entertained to waste 20 seconds of their time to let us know...
It's similar with the podcast. I go into chat and people tell me they love it. I look at the downloads, fantastic! Then I look at the feedback, both on the site and the mail, and... zilch. It disappoints me insofar that other podcasts have real commercials. We spend time making up commercials that are so very obviously spoofs that even the dummest person will recognise them as such. Da world's gone topsy-turvvy me thinks *snerk*.
The round-robin... I'm actually looking forward to my turn, LOL. SW wrote a most intriguing first chapter, and now the second one rests with SoulBound, who no doubt will introduce some more potential open endings continuation. Teehee, it's so much fun. :-)
