This depresses me greatly.

It depresses me greatly to see that some people on this website have over 150 followers, and yet they write nothing.
I have written something, and look where I am.
I wish to have more followers.

A friend of mine posted a story when she had over 400 followers.

This is precisely what I'm talking about! It's utter madness. I don't have the heart to ask my followers to recommend me.

[Tavi4]

3077851
It's not dignified to do that.

[Wacuire]

3077860 Some people get followers or posting interesting blogs and stuff, some follow a ton of users. And being a girl gives you followers here xD

[Tavi4]

3077868
I'll say it does.

[Wacuire]

3077869 Don't worry, just keep posting content and you'll get many followers too. Just takes a while sometimes

[Tavi4]

3077874
Two years though?

[Wacuire]

3077876 Have you been 100% active on this site for these two years?

[Trickilee]

Do you enjoy writing?

[Tavi4]

3077885
Very much.

[Tavi4]

3077883
Not particularly. Have you this past one?

[Wacuire]

3077891 For the past year, I think I've been on at least an hour each day, to eight hours...

[Tavi4]

3077895
As have I, for the past year.

You are like Vinyl.

[Wacuire]

3077909 Huh... then you should've gotten more followers (you have gotten a few as of lately at least, right?)

... Yeah, that is me in a nutshell xD

[Tavi4]

3077912
That is where I am so confused, Wacuire. I do this, and I get nothing?

[Wacuire]

3077917 Sometimes, yes. It's not easy to get followers. Maybe romance stories get you more (good clopfics does xD) but it's also about luck. I have barely gotten any followers lately, but I had a wave of them when I posted three stories in a single week.

[Tavi4]

3077920
*sigh* As always, Wacuire, you're right. I throw in my hat.

[Wacuire]

3077923 ... right about what? xD

[Tavi4]

3077924
Everything. I am depressed.

[Wacuire]

3077926 Hey, I highly doubt that I'm right about everything. And, I assume it's really late, so you might be depressed because you're tired.

[Tavi4]

3077930
I am depressed because I feel as though my Earthly existence is meaningless.

[Wacuire]

3077937 If you feel like that, try to go around the site and help people out.

Just join a big group and if someone asks for help in a thread, offer them that. Weren't you an artist? Then you could offer someone cover art for a story in the Art for Fanfiction group. (name might be wrong)

I can't write, but I try to offer people help by sharing my own knowledge. Sometimes experience, or just being someone to talk to. It helps :)

[Tavi4]

3077945
Thanks Wacuire. I haven't done any major art since two years ago. I simply don't have the time.

[Wacuire]

3077952 You're welcome ^_^ and you must have time, you're on here quite often, so you should have some spare time at least?

[Tavi4]

3077954
It is all taken up on this.

[Wacuire]

3077958 You could take an hour or so from 'this' and put it into art. You can have more than one tab open too, right?

[Bolshevik Skeleton]

I have like 45 and I have no Idea why. I do plan on writing something at some point however

[Tavi4]

3077977
See Wacuire? SEE?

[Wacuire]

3077978 He follows 114 people, so some are follow for follow. And just go to some groups and talk to people.

I think ten of my followers came from the LGBT group. Just join a group which seem to have a nice community and be nice to people. Make an interesting thread, and you might gain a follower.

[Trickilee]

You reap what you sow. You can be smart about it and employ little tricks, but in the end it is just another type of investment on your part to gain more readers.

Write really well or do a whole bunch of handshaking. Really, there's no sense in developing a skill you don't care for. Seeing as how you like writing already, I'd suggest focussing on improving that and leave the social networking thing to those who give a damn.

One day you will strike it rich. It might not happen in a year, it might not even happen within this community. But good things do come to those who work for it.

[Bolshevik Skeleton]

3078002 Actually some people follow me randomly and i feel like following back is the polite thing to do. I do not know why i do this. I do consider myself a bastard

[Wacuire]

3078050 It can be your avatar then... Idk

[Bolshevik Skeleton]

3078054 My avatar is the greatest thing ever known to man

[Wacuire]

3078068 Yeah, it's nice xD

[Scootaloo96]

Is this aimed at me

[Tavi4]

3078214
Not at all. And where the hell have you been?

[Scootaloo96]

3078937 I'm sorry I had a bout of depression

[Tavi4]

3078952
Are you feeling better?

[Scootaloo96]

3078986 very much so. Thank you

[Tavi4]

3078989
That's good. I spoke to her, by the by.

[Scootaloo96]

3078993 I'm very glad to hear that

[Tavi4]

3078996
I said "Morning Jade,"
She smiled and said, "Hello Matt."
"Have you finished your Vis Com yet?"
To which she replied, "No, not yet. I don't think anyone has."
I said, "No. I haven't either. Well, I have to go to Business Management. See ya."
She said, "See ya."

And that was that.

[Scootaloo96]

3079006 it's a good start Now you need to do that more often until you are talking to her regularly

[Tavi4]

3079009
Be mindful, I have no intention of getting into a relationship.
Relationship is darkness.

[Scootaloo96]

3079027 then what is the point

[Tavi4]

3079030
I like her. It is always acceptable to begin a friendship. I have no time for relationship.

[Scootaloo96]

3079035 then do what I said

[Tavi4]

3079030
I am under the hammer of Australian education. I spend up to eight hours every night, working.

[Tavi4]

3079038
Very well. I am happy for us to like each other, but not have yet donned the amour of relationship. I daresay I'm a coward, but I am merely prioritising.
