Scoundrels will never get a lot of likes... · 7:38am Sep 6th, 2018
Hey Tee Totallers.
Today’s a tough day and Scoundrels might hit a slow point, it may not get updated for a while, so I just wanted to give a bit of a heads up on the situation.
I’m not going to explain why, it’s a private matter between my family and me, but I want to reassure you that Scoundrels is not gone. I have the plan right up to chapter 20, I will keep writing because it is one of the only things keeping me going at this point.
‘Scoundrels’ will never be popular. I don’t see it getting more than 50 likes and that’s being, well, generous. But I am going to work on it as though it’s got thousands of likes, because the people who are reading it are counting on me. I love that my closest friends who have read the story care about the characters and want to know where the story will go next. It is for them that I’ve promised to write all three stories that I have planned.
I dunno what the future holds, but I’m gonna be a better person, even if I have to fight for it.
Love to you and yours,
Dusk
I won't pry but I do hope whatever you and your family are going through will be resolved.

Feel free to call me Nony, less of a mouthful.
My best advices to get likes:
Go around and throw likes around yourself, people who you comment and like on will most often throw a like back.
Keep things consistant, that means no more new cover pics!
And screw the likes! Its not about quantity, its about quality. If you look at what kinda stories that get the most likes should you write really niche clop and hope that you hit a soft spot and get the snowball rolling. Never write a story for likes, write the story because you want to tell a story.
Keep your posting consistant. Having a backlog is never a bad thing, and 1-2 chapters a month is more than okay if they come out steadily. Slow and steady wins the race after all.

Thanks Doomington (new nickname, sorry, I do this to everyone!)
That's sound advice, I really appreciate everything you do to help me with this project, experiment and personal-learning-experience.
Yesterday I was super-down and I know I'll be having another like this soon (20th Sept, set your calenders) but this really helps.
I'll pop a few comments on the stories I read and share my thoughts and love for those tales.
Thank you so much again <3

I am very offended! I am clearly a Doomynator!
