Subject: Site Statistics just suck...

 Yeah, Yeah, I know I've griped about this before, but it's just amazing to me what my statistics look like:

As of 8:40PM 05/09/01:
PageCounter
index.html172
Chapter 129
Chapter 213
Chapter 39
Chapter 47
Chapter 53


The fall off rate is prodigeous, to say the least.

The other part that's remarkable is the fact that for all of the pages, no one clicked on the Previous/Next links at the bottom.

Being overly paranoid and borderline manic this tells me:
  1. My readership can be counted on the fingers of one hand. (Possibly on the digits of one finger)
  2. Folks almost never make it all the way through a chapter, and if they do, they don't feel inclined to click on the next chapter link. (ok, there was one brave soul who suffered through the first three chapters on 04/24) and another staunch masochist that made it through the first four on 05/01. These folks are going straight to heaven when they die. They've already paid the price of purgatory.
  3. The rest generally flee in terror at the thought of slogging through this drivel.


And then there's you. You not only are willing to suffer the condemnable venting of a twisted mind, you come here for further torment.

I'm guessing that even if you are a serial hamster rapist, you are on the short list for Nirvana.

Well, enough bellyaching for tonight, Tomorrow is another day. I've got at least three more chapters ahead of this one. After that, I'll need to write more of a skeleton.

Speaking of which, I really do value your suggestions, hints, speling cheques and miscellaneous ideas for cliff-hangers.

Also, if there are anythings I happen to be missing that would make TGC slightly less confusing/painful/obscure (no, scratch that last one) let me know. Should I do character profiles, now that I've actually thought of them? Should I actually go do research on what Boise is like? Should I give this up and just post up track tips?
