So I did a little search... · 12:36am Mar 3rd, 2014
As I checked in to read the comments on ODaM, (I read all your comments, even if I don't reply,) I looked up to see that I have some good ratings on it. So just for a laugh, I decided to check how I rate against the top-rated clopfics on the site (by going browse-Top- All Time and activating the Mature and Sex tag.)
I'm about 5 or 6 pages back. Much more than I expected, but I can deal with that. Then a thought strikes me: I don't remember if I've seen any anthro-tagged stories before mine popped up. So I activate the anthro tag to see.
According to Fimfiction's automatic system-algorhitm-thing, ODaM is, at time of writing, the top rated erotic anthro-tagged fic on this site.
So, if you need me, I'll be over in a corner, quietly having a panic attack.
Best.

So, and not to be an ass here, but rating is basically number of likes to dislikes as a percentage. Which is still very impressive, but it isn't the most upvoted story. Which is what I originally thought rating would be. Congrats though, like I said, very impressive.
*Clapping*

I'm aware, yeah. Other stories have way more upvotes. But it still makes me feel anxious :/
I never expected the story to get this much attention.
Oh well, I guess I'll try to see it as motivation to keep going, not pressure that will crush me.

MR. what-now?
Thanks for your kind words and I'm glad you like the story. I'm just anxious at the moment, this is very new to me.
I'm not sure I'll ever be comfortable with the attention. Still, I'll feel better soon and I'll keep writing.

Thanks, man.
Found this blog post a little late, but I figured I'd check what else is doing well in Anthro.
Your story's currently at #2. #1 is Pushing His Buttons. Relevant quote:
And, later:
#3 is Show Stopper. Relevant quote:
And, later,
#4 is Only Bone Deep. Relevant quote:
Conclusion: thoughtful and insightful gets you upvotes. Buckin' hot gets you upvotes. Both at once gets you all the upvotes. (Though I did note that the unedited version of your most recent chapter had fewer spelling, punctuation, and grammar errors than any of the other fics I looked at. I guess technicals only count for so much around here.)
(On an unrelated note, I just read-latered Only Bone Deep. I'm quite curious where the plot's going.)
