I think one reason there's so many sheep flocks crowding Quizilla is by word of mouth. Many people write in thier online journals, sites, and other places that they write stories on Quizilla, and they're getting popular, everyone's reading it, etc., etc., etc. Then all the fangirls see this on the other fangirl's journal/site/what have you, and they think "Oh, cool! Quizilla's a great place to post my squeefic! This person uses the site to post thier stories, so that must be what the Quizilla was made for!"(I just had to use "squee" there. It's an appropriate word in this case.)
Then they all come in and overload the site with even more of the same story written in a slightly different way, and they expect everone to read it, rate them high, give them lots of "YoUr StOrY iS sO kEwL!!!!!" messages, and become as famous as everyone else on the site. "Everyone else gets popular with this kind of story!", they think. "So if I do the exact same thing, I'll get just as popular!"
But when they don't, as GoAwayStories mentioned, you suddenly see the Quizilla pages crowded with tons of memos on the lines of "Nobody's reading my stories! Read them all, rate them high, and give me messages, or I'll stop writing them!", expecting to get a flood of messages saying how great they are, how much they love thier stories, the writer shouldn't leave the site, blah, blah, blah. And maybe this technique works on the fangirls reading the stories, since it seems they all love reading the same thing over and over by different people. But that's just my take on the whole thing. It might not apply to every case, but it sure seems like it.
