Lesbian Sex story statistics by year

[SimonDoom]

8Letters, this is really interesting. This must have been a lot of work. Thank you for doing this.

I'm fascinated and puzzled by the fact that views go up as the stories go from 1 to 5 pages. I can't figure that out. When you first click on a story, you don't know how long it is. The only thing I can think of is that as stories get longer readers are more likely to read some of the story and then click on it later to finish it.

Sorry if I am missing the obvious or this is an essentially rustic observation:

Could this simply be explained by how views are counted?

A five page story gets 'five' views to their total (five 'clicks') whereas a one page story gets 'one'?

This would multiply 'view' totals out quite dramatically. At some point views plateau just because the tale is so long not everybody reads the whole thing?

I think the vast majority of readers don't finish a massive story in one sitting. They go back and back and back.

Once in a while I'll see a really long story, and someone leaves a comment saying they spent the night reading it or something along those lines.

It's been explained by the site owners that a view is whenever a story is retrieved from the database. All of the pages in the story are pulled in that retrieval. So reading a five-page story is one view, not five.

It doesn't work that way - a View is a click into the first page only, not each page. I tested this with one of my own multi-page stories years ago - clicked in, went through each page to the end, and the View count went up by one.

I'm glad that you find the numbers interesting.

I think it's a signaling thing. The initial readers read both the short and long stories. They vote, comment and favorite. Fairly quickly, a story has some statistics, and longer stories on average get better statistics than shorter stories. So later readers look at the statistics for the stories in the hub and click on the ones with the better statistics.

Going back to the first time I analyzed the stories, I was shocked at how many one-page stories there were in I/T. I read lots and lots of I/T stories, and I would have told you that very few I/T stories were one page. But because I let the statistics of stories guide what stories I click on, I just never clicked on the links for one-page stories.

How does the data change if you only look at Red H stories?

 

[8letters]

Not a lot of variation based on day of the week that the story was published, with the exception of number of comments. Monday has the fewest stories published and the highest number of views.
