I know, I know, but…

You might know that I post my stories to TopShelf as well as posting here. On that site they have a voting function that works like a popularity contest.

If you like the story, you click “Vote” at the bottom of the post. If you are a reader, you get 1 vote, if you are an author, you get 2. It’s a good way to get instant feedback on your work since not everyone comments.

I first started posting the Sissy series there and it was received pretty lackadaisically. People liked the “no dialogue” thing, but didn’t like her name. (That’s one reason among many that I changed it later in the series.) I would get about 10-15 votes total and then it would peter out.

I started posting the Mindy series and it did even worse. No comments, only about 3-5 votes. So I pulled that series.

Then I posted the Samantha Series. At this point, I have something like 61 votes on Samantha part 1, and on Part 5, which isn’t a week old, I have 48 votes. The comments are over the top too.

To say that I’m stunned is a bit of an understatement. I’m flabergasted. I’m floored. I never dreamed that my little sentimental series could get this kind of reaction.

I’m like…. wow.

Now, I’m not complaining at all. Far from it. I’m glad that at least one of the series of stories I post there is gaining a fanbase. I just didn’t expect it. That’s all.

Anyhow, enough wangst.
