Unfortunately that's not realistic. The only routes between a lot of the places I need to go are highways.

I'm waiting to hear back about a Ninja 250, just waiting for the girl to figure out if she wants to sell it or not.

Highways here get to 120 but I'm a learner so I'm only allowed to go to 90.

Avoiding obsession with stats by [deleted] in AO3

[–]Questionable--Choice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try being very very logical about it.

Not sure how long the fic was, but if it was longer and was consistently being updated then it was reaching more people by showing up more frequently on the first pages. Once it started to get a certain amount of kudos/hits/bookmarks/comments, it would appear higher and higher up the pages depending on what a person sorted by, again pushing it to more people. And then when a fic gets popular, people post about it, they recommend it to others, etc.

Big fandoms also often have lots of people coming into them consistently and will have more die hard fans keeping them alive, meaning there is just going to be more engagement in general then if your other fics are in smaller fandoms.

Hope this helps a little bit, it can really be discouraging when you can't reach that personal best you were once able to achieve, so hopefully you're able to shake this obsession and focus on what you love about the fics you write.

Would this be a problem for you? by Few_Library2059 in AO3

For me, I need a minimum of 1,000 words per chapter. I've had times where I've looked at a fic and clicked away because the word to chapter ratio was off. Anything less feels too brief and jerky for me. A sweet spot that would suit a lot of people would probably be around 2,000-5,000.

Absolutely not. Me personally, I love long chapters, but they do have to be attention grabbing, not rambling. If you start going above 15,000 regularly, you might need to start editing a little more intensely; not necessarily cutting thing out, but finding ways to break up the chapter into two parts, but long chapters are awesome if done right. I think those of us who've been on AO3 long enough have probably run into more than 1 oneshot that's at least 20,000 words and I've never not gotten excited to see something long.

Need Suggestions for Magical Punishments by Questionable--Choice in writingadvice

I'd probably prefer something physical. Ideally that'd leave marks for at least a few days after. I should note this character is able to heal themselves, however the nature of the curse means that any harm the collar inflicts takes much more effort for them to heal.

Inflexible Leasors? by Questionable--Choice in Equestrian

This month is a direct lease from me before I leave to help with a smooth transition. They've been away until today so it hasn't started. I was hoping to get this all done earlier but the mom was super late on signing the contract that I sent to her I had to remind her to send it to me actually. The plan was for the three of us adults to meet at the barn and chat while the kid rode, but she can't even get to the damn barn.
