Victims of our own success?

I put on another chapter of Football Girl 23 hours ago. Having just looked at the home page, I note that there have been no less than 25 new stories put on since then.

Is this some sort of record? I wonder if that 'other place' with the initials FM get that sort of new story count.

It's a great testament to Erin and her hard working co-workers that this site is so successful.

Of course, every upside normally has a downside. How many people have the time or energy to read that many stories? I have noticed that the comment count seems to have gone down on many good stories. I am lucky and have no complaints on that score, but other authors may be put off by a lack of response to their stories where two or three years ago they might have had more of a reaction.

I know it's a oft-used request, but please, if you have time, comment or at least give the author's a kudo, it isn't much to ask, is it?

Hugs
