Wow.
I never had so many hits in one day with any of my stories yet this was so ordinary. I feel like a fraud today. I hope i can be inspired to make it up. Maybe everybody was at home today catching up with reading. I got three times as many hits as I did with stories I wrote for the Valentines day contest. It can't be right can it? Was there a problem maybe these last few weeks that has been solved?

Tag driven.

When it comes to what I read, I'm tag driven. If the tags don't sound like a story I want to read I usually skip it all together. Some tags will for sure make me skip it. e.g. almost any caution [except "tissue alert"]will make me skip the story as will "explicit." Others I'm leery of include but are not limited to, magic, sci-fi (exception made for authors who've proven their ability to marry sci-fi and TG content without making the sci-fi the agent of change. eg Tina Smith's "White Chapel Horror") hypnosis is also suspect (notable exception being Maeryn Lamonte's "Trick of the Mind.")

Your story just happened to hit a number of my likes and I read it. Can't wait for more of the same.

Hugs

What's all this?

You can't put up with this. You're clearly in denial. You don't need to question yourself about a problem. Even if you have a couple of personality oddities - you know, the hearing of voices, drinking 20 beers a day, and other minor quirks - it doesn't justify this treatment. If hits are coming faster and with more volume, then the only solution is to leave. Find a shelter somewhere, and get a pseudonym. Who's hitting you anyway, and why haven't the police done anything? Have you even gotten them involved? You must find courage now, to ...

(Ms. Litella; Julie was wondering about hits to her story. Meaning the number of reads. NOT physical abuse.)

OOOoooh. Never mind ...
