Well, you are far, far ahead of the average here, then. I was commiserating with a fellow author the other day who was crestfallen because he had only had five reviews (in about 20,000 "hits".)Originally posted by Neopadinski
IOut of the 10000 readers or whatever it is, I only currently have 8 reviews, if that.
Trying to cheer him up, I did a little quick research and sorted the database by numbers of 'votes' and found that (as of a few days ago) :
Only 224 of the 2165 stories (a little over 10 %) had as many as seven reviews. Only 506 stories (about 1/4) had as many as five reviews. Only 755 stories (about 1/3) had as many as four reviews.
There were 170 stories (some with upwards of 10,000 hits) with no reviews. (Perhaps a dozen of them were quite recent, and may well be reviewed shortly).
I doubt if more than 1 or 2% of the stories here can boast eight reviews with no more than 10,000 hits. Count yourself among the fortunate.
