The problem with mine is that the subject matter is pretty narrow. Unless you share the interest that inspired me to write it, it's probably not going to resonate.
Even then, some who do get into it will probably pan me for playing fast and loose with some of the mythology and timeline *laugh*
Too many details for the average reader, but it's what I wanted to write
Even in a contest, you'll be lucky to pick up 25-30 votes in Erotic Horror. Anything more than that is a fantastic showing ( final totals, after all the sweeps ).
Unless there's a lot of gore, you acually get a larger readership in Sci-Fi/Fantasy or Non-Human, if either of those apply. Even then, you're looking at probably 40-50.
Horror, Humor, and Novels/Novellas have about the lowest core readership on the site. Perhaps TS/Crossdressers. Can't speak to that, as I've never written one.
Mine didn't have much in the way of blood, fear, etc., so I put it in Fantasy. Technically, it's also Non-Human, but that's probably questionable to the average reader, so I just went with the most common denominator.

On mine the votes and reads are going up steadily but the score is dropping slowly. It's already one of my lowest scoring stories ever. Loving wifes is always a hard sell. LOLIf that's the case, that would explain my increasing votes and reads while my score steadily declines.
A last minute vacuum of troll dreck may at least get my score above 4.1.
Good luck everybody.
It'll tank.
It's non-erotic, profoundly short (a certain prolific writer around here is bound to make something of that
