@passion4Spike if you ever want us to take a look at your drabble because the word count is off, just let us know! We're always perfecting the word counter.

@Passion4Spike: the same happened to me when I posted my Merry Month of Magnus story. Apparently there are different ways to count words. I did in fact add one more word but I don't know if it is required.

Congrats to Nautibitz for publishing her first book! It's titled Start With a Slap and it's the book we've all craved for years! Please be so kind as to leave her a review at your online book-retailer. And don't miss the second part!

I have a chapter in the drabble that, while posting/editing, says 100 words, but after I post, the summary says 99 words. Do I add another word to make the summary and total word count right, or just leave it?

I hibernated all Feb cuz RL got too busy. Then, knowing the March madness was coming, I shook off my cobwebs and four days in I'm already very behind schedule and completely overwhelmed. dead There are so many event fics that there's no time for anything else. 🙈

@Hulettwyo, I've noticed the same thing on my non-drabble WIP, fewer readers this month. I think they'll come back to it later and catch up once the drabbles are done ... I HOPE!

Totally agree with @slayme! My latest WIP chapter got less engagement as well and it isn't even cross-posted to other archives. Events just tend to have this effect! No reflection whatsoever on the quality of what you've shared.

@hulettwyo - when there is a challenge going on (on either archive) there is often a drop off in comments for other things. Also, many SAD readers are reading other places, so it it was already posted elsewhere, interested readers may have already seen and commented upon it there. I wouldn't worry.

Trying to decide if I should delete one of my stories off here. I have 4 chapters up with 0 likes or comments and only a handful of reads, which is confusing because this story did very well on EF. Should I delete it altogether or just stop posting until the drabble challenge is done?
