LadyNottingham said: I was intrigued too but it's explained in the FF. Well, I had found it there. A hit is one time a page is checked. A visitor is a person that checked that page.

The difference? But it shall be accounted as only 1 visitor anyway in terms of IP address. If there are 2 people behind the same computer reading a story, it still shall be accounted as 1 visitor. Therefore, visitors are much more important a stat than hits.

Hope this will help. If I am wrong oh well. Either way you still have readers : and you can add me on fanfic. Cookies help us bring you Fanpop. By using Fanpop, you agree to our use of cookies. Learn More Got It! A wall of text is never nice to read through. Also remember to divide up long stretches of speech, and if writing a poem, each verse or stanza needs to be on its own.

Restrict use of bold and italics ; use them for emphasis. Don't be afraid to make a flash back a separate chapter, or divide using a page divider, dots, or dashes rather than all in italics. Re-read before posting.

Spell-check before posting. Look at your punctuation. Is it consistent? Does it help the reader? Be prepared to edit. It's very tempting to post as soon as something is finished; if you can, resist this impulse. Wait a day or better still a week before you re-read, edit and post. You'll be amazed at the number of mistakes and odd turns of phrase you encounter when you pick it up again.

Part 2. Test the waters. Post one or two chapters at a time. The word count of a large multi-chaptered story posted in one go may put some readers off. Be prepared for a slow start to the number of reviews. When it gets good, they'll come. Write stories that will be rated appropriate for everyone. Is the rating reducing traffic to your story? Is the story rated M? These stories only come up on the main page when a searcher looks for stories of all ratings or with an M rating.

Consider extrinsic factors. It might not be you or your story. If you're confident your story looks inviting but you're still not getting any reviews, consider the fandom. Is it very active? Check your hit numbers. Do other writers' stories get reviews? Lots of reviews? Ask yourself what kind of stories seem the most popular. Maybe you're writing for an unpopular pairing. You may need to be prepared to do some extra work to encourage reviewers.

Self promote. If your fandom is small and not very active, you may have to take other steps to advertise your story. Is there a livejournal community where you can advertise it? A fanfiction. Improve yourself. Fandoms can be fickle; maybe it's just not your story's time - or maybe it's time to go on a charm offensive. Are you new to the fandom? Let other writers know you're interested in their stories.

Why should anyone be interested in your story if you seem uninterested in the fandom you're writing for? Review stories that interest you and writers you admire. Be a constructive critic. You aren't the only one wanting good reviews, Try leading by example and helping fellow writers by reviewing their work.

Go into detail about the things you like and the things you feel needs improving. Not only will it attract the writer's attention and gratitude, but other readers as well with a taste of your writing skills and insight.

Improve your profile. What does it say about you? It looks a little funny if you write a story for one fandom but all your favorite authors are in another fandom What should I do if I feel like I'm burned out and running out of ideas when it comes to writing my first story?

Pearl Fairy. Pace yourself. Go outside, take a walk, go to school, watch a movie, get some ideas. Don't use up every single idea for one chapter, flesh them out a bit, let them grow and mature before you pick and post them individually. Near the beginning, outline a plot to follow, so you have something to go off of on "those days. Yes No. Not Helpful 0 Helpful My story was getting good reviews until the 6th chapter, but got only one review on the seventh chapter.

Why could that be? Perhaps you took too long to update it, or you didn't give it enough time for people to review or people lost interest. Not Helpful 4 Helpful What if I'm putting off my story because I'm terrified of negative reviews?

How do I handle the possibility of getting all negative reviews? Don't put it off. Trust me. As a fellow FanFiction author, I know how much it terrifies you. It terrified me to get a bad review before too, but bad reviews aren't that bad. There are going to be haters, but the likelihood of getting all negative reviews is very, very low.

Even in five reviews, three are positive. If you want to lessen the likelihood of getting bad reviews, ask a friend or someone you trust to take a look at things for you before posting.

Not Helpful 0 Helpful 7. I'm apparently writing good stories, lots of people are reading them, but people hardly review at all!

I mostly post one-shots, is there something wrong with that? It depends on your method or particular goal of the story. It could be your story is not interesting to other readers or you're not known enough to warrant a review.

This shouldn't discourage you.
