As of today: 502 stories
posted
*Every* Group has at least
one story posted!! Only 1 (1%) have a single
story. (Group 18, where are you?!?! I mean, seriously – do we
hafta skim the roster, search the forum for your names, and PM you all? 😉) Only 2 (3%) have two
stories, which means 3 (4%) have 'fewer than three' stories
Three stories is kinda the
'ideal minimum' but the 'ideal' is 'at least 5' - a chance to really get a feel
for the range of things happening in the group. 5 (7%) have three
stories.
16 (20%) have four
stories.
BTW - that also means that
56 (70%) of our groups have five or more stories posted!! Edited by nixie - 18 Aug 2017 at 12:09am |

So over a fifth posting. On par with prior years, or more? (It "feels" like more - I haven't gotten to read nearly as many stories as I did last year!)

The same has happened with the SSC. What has made the difference is the pooling of all the posts into manageable and useable formats that people don't have to fight through just to read others stories in their genre. When I first started with NYCM, you really had to search to find what you were looking for due to no really fast and firm ways to post. So, mostly, people just read what everyone else was reading, and a few stories got lots of reads and most did not. We have Nixie to thank for starting us off, not unlike Tesla and AC over DC, or Arnol Schwarzenegger over Jhon Frinkel.

I think you have a point, there Suave. There are 44 PAGES of stories in the FFC forum right now, and that's just challenge 1. In updating the ML, I find that I have to go back a dozen or so pages to make sure I have everything posted within the last 24 hours, even a week or two in. I think the folks doing Master Lists are making things much more visible/accessible, and I think you are right on target that more people are getting more feedback than in former days as a result. :) |

Haha. I always place a post after the last story I posted in the list, and never had to go back. |

I do that as well - but i fish the pages of posts in the forum so that if someone doesn't know to comment, I still see their post. :)
