Random Authors

A couple of months ago I noticed a massive uptick in the number of hits on my stories and couldn't figure out why, since I hadn't written anything for ages. It was only later that I found that I had just been included in the "12 Random Authors" list at the time so I can confirm that it really works.

One strange thing was that while I got literally hundreds of extra hits I didn't get a single additional comment or "thumbs up". I don't know what that signifies. Perhaps people just dip in and decide they don't like the story and move on.

I have just noticed that I am once again on the list of "Random Authors" so will be interested to see if I have the same experience. Do not misunderstand me....I am very pleased to have the exposure, which prevents me from being totally forgotten as an author until such time as I can regain some inspiration and resume meaningfull writing. I just find the responses a little strange.

I wonder if others have had the same experience or have had numerous comments and "thumbs ups".
