Fics and Hits and Reviews

slowfoxSo, I posted TTK:Reloaded up over at ff.n, along with most of my other fics - the exception being teh pr0n and that final battle fic I posted the other day.
ff.n give you lots and lots of stats - you can see hits per story, per chapter, broken down by country of reader. Not sure why you'd want that last, but hey, they can do it, so they do. What I can't see, yet, is how you work out cumulative hits - it seems like the total gets reset each month.
Still, in the less-than-a-month it's been up, TTK:R has garnered 12,000 hits from 1,100 visitors (so on average, it seems, people are reading 11 chapters). It's slightly amusing that there's an almost perfect decreasing hit count from chapter 1 to chapter 89, and then suddenly there's this big jump on the final chapter - like people are flicking to the end to see how it all turns out before deciding whether or not to read it.
Hogsmeade in the Rain seemed surprisingly popular - the fics all got a spike from when they were first posted, because there are update/new fic notifications that get put out, I guess. However, what was surprising was the number of hits that Potions got when I posted up Chapter 2.
Aside from TTK, which got plugged by me at FA (before it crashed) and here, all of the other fics were just uploaded at ff.n with no ceremony. It's odd, then, how there's a distinct banding of the hits. TTK has the most (but only because there's more of it to hit). Then comes Potions (again, because there's more of it to hit) and Hogsmeade in the Rain - they both have c200 hits/chapter). The two remaing stories, Ronald Bilius Weasley: Elite of the Few and The Wheel Turns Full Circle don't make 50 hits between them.
Anyway, prize for the most weirdest review so far has to go to the Potions review where I'm told that my writing is 'a little self-indulgent'. It's fan-fic! How can it be anything but???
