Iron Lung was so good. I can't wait to get a physical copy when they are finally available.

For anyone thinking of making the switch, all of my content as LillyinSnappe and as JoeSnappe is up on Ao3 (Archive of Our Own).
          
          Just don't go over there and start reporting stuff. It wastes your time and volunteer time as Ao3 ONLY removes AI content and is done entirely by volunteers, not an algorithm. Ao3 is a writing archive and a nonprofit unlike Wattpad which is a business. Learn to use the tagging system because there is no algorithm there. You have to search for what you want. 
          
          Also if you don't know "dead dove do not eat" means the story is what it says on the label and if that's not what you want, then don't read it.

Hey, JoeSpappe. I have written a story called the blue candle. Basically Mirabel Madrigal is 18 and neglected by her family until she meets this 19 year old man called Pablo from the rainforest. But only 26 people had read it with only 1 vote and one comment from me. Why aren’t people voting or commenting?

@kenbell2009 (responding from my second account)
            There's a few potential factors that could play into it. First is that the Encanto fan fiction scene has become much more saturated than when I wrote mine. I had multiple characters up before the movie left theaters so there wasn't many/any in existence yet. I still get some but not many views on that story today. Pretty much every story I've written that has a high success rate was written when there wasn't a lot in that specific category. Also I only have 5 or 6 truly successful stories and I've written about 100 works across 38 Fandoms. Don't let it get you down early. My gravity falls stuff is never very popular until after it's completed.
            
            Second is your description blurb. I noticed it was a bit rigid. Try something like "what if Mirabel hadn't forgiven her family and saved the magic?" instead of Mirabel shouldn't have forgiven them. A question invites people to be more curious about what you could imagine happening and how it changes relationships. A small 3-5 line excerpt from an interesting part of your writing could also attract more readers.
            
            Finally, most readers don't vote and/or comment. It feels nice to get but for every 100 readers, I might get one comment and 2 stars if I'm lucky. Every now and then a reader might come along who stars and comments on every chapter but that is about 1 in every 800 reads so don't hold your breath waiting for those unicorns lol
            
            In the end just make sure your writing is something you would want to read and eventually the right people who want to read it will find it too.

Been absent for a hot minute but I'm working on a new story. An ATLA story about a trans water tribe girl. Not ready for any publishing yet but I'm excited. Had a nice break but it's nice to be controlling what I can while I can.

I'm so excited to be performing at Star City Pride on Saturday this year! Figuring out my life and gender has always been difficult for me and now that I've figured at least a little bit of it out, I'm excited to be able to show it off.
