WHINY WHINE.

Mon Nov 23, 2009, 11:14 PM
  • Mood: Bitter
  • Listening to: Immediate Music-- Serenata
  • Reading: ARGHITY BARGH THIS SCENE WILL NOT WRITE.
  • Watching: I hate this television. Make it go away.
  • Playing: Fire Emblem. Damn you, addicting game. Damn you.
  • Eating: Nothing.
  • Drinking: Water. Ugh, it's kinda hard...
There comes times in everybody's life when they must do a whiny whine. Here is one of mine.

WHINY WHINE.

Okay, I understand lots of people don't like GanZel. It's not a popular pairing. I will attribute that as to why my new story has lots and lots of words but only 6 reviews. All of my stories get almost no reviews. Maybe they're just niche, and nobody really likes what I have to say. Okay. Fine, I can deal with that.

But... just one thing.

I've been getting a HUGE spike in hits, and while my actual pageviews are less than that I've still been getting about 18-30 a day or so.

Yet, out of these pageviews of people actually reading the story...

Only 6 reviews? And 2 of those are from the same person!

Okay, I am guilty of reading and not reviewing sometimes when something is (excuse me) crap, or if I don't have time at the moment.

But out of the over 50 reads of my story, only 6 instances of a review? When horrid horrid stories get upwards of more than three reviews per *day*?

Sorry, but WHINY WHINE. I know none of you here are at fault and all of my lovely friends here are lovely. But I sometimes wonder at the activity over on the FF.Net. What goes through the little rodent minds of half the people there? And what are their motivations for reading and not sparing two seconds for a 'cool' or a 'no good?'

I hate to toot my own horn, but the majority of stuff on the frontpage is utter crap. Sorry, folks who might be reading. As merely adequate as my own things are, they are not quite *utter* crap.

I suppose that is life on the internet. It's basically one long journey of getting kicked in the 'nads over and over again. Oh well.

WHINY WHINE.

WHINE.

WHINE.

(Also, I am seeing my family for thanksgiving. That is sort of nice. I hope my little sister did not get too much taller.)

... as a train.

Ganondorf: Well, thank you for destroying my body. I figured that if that idiot can possess some inanimate object, I can too.

Link: What are you going to do, sneeze on me? Your whistle must sound like a foghorn with that shnoz--

OKAY BREAK IT UP.

I sort of giggle at the silly, but I YAYZ at your conclusion.

BECAUSE HE WILL ALWAYS REMAIN. LONG LIVE THE KING.

Daphnes: ... Hello.

NOT YOU. THAT ONE.

Ganondorf: Yes.

Link: As a train.

Ganondorf: I hate you all.

Hey, at least he still has swirly eyebrows...

If we're lucky we'll get some Ganny in non-train form. I certainly can't call him handsome in this way.
