I have the most awful headache this afternoon. Yrgh! I'm thinking a hot shower in addition to the Tylenol might be the ticket.

On another subject entirely: is there really an optimal time to post fic to your LJ if you want the most people to read it? It never occurred to me till I read a thread on that subject a bit earlier. I always just want to get it posted as soon as it's done. I'm entirely too simple, it would seem.

I posted a story last Saterday and no one commented.
So I think the weekends are a bad time.

where is the other thread you read?

I'll have to go backtrack some to find it.

*g* I just read those comments and realized I'm posting for a very small circle of readers on LJ.

Yeah, no kidding! [g] The few Grey's Anatomy crossovers I posted on fanfiction.net, I was floored at the hits they got. I realized that it was a small taste of what it must be like to write fic in a current, large fandom!

I've posted some of my CSI:Miami stories over there and the hits are amazing, but the reviews far and between....sigh

What does a writer need to do to get feedback?

Now that's another subject entirely! :)

I hope your head feels better. One trick I have for headaches is to dampen a couple of bags of chamomile tea, freeze them, and then lie down for 10-15 minutes with a teabag on each eye. It's remarkable what an effect that has.

I'd like to know the answer to your question, too. It seems like just when I get a feel for the ebb and flow of LJ, new and different patterns emerge.

Thanks :) I think I have a touch of a stomach bug.

I'll have to see if fic I post in the autumn does better than what I've posted in the summer, I guess :)
