When is the best time to post new fanfiction?
For those who post stories on fanfiction.net, when do you find you get the most viewers? Specifically, please tell me which DAY(S). From your experience is it better to post on the weekend (rush hour - lots of readers, also lots of new stories pouring in) or weekday (less readers, but your story stays higher on the list longer)?
On fanfiction.net, does the story stats count your own visits?
nope, it doesn't count.
Does fanfiction have a purpose, and is it worth reading/writing?
Every story that we know and love is just that - a single story.Harry Potter has seven books, and the story unfolds the same way every time. Harry grows up, falls in love, fights Voldemort and wins. (Sorry if that is a spoiler, but come on - if you REALLY thought he was going to lose and evil was going to conquer the world you really haven’t been paying enough attention).But what if………What if Voldemort wins?What if Harry doesn’t fall in love with that girl, but instead falls in love with a different girl? Or a boy?What if that person doesn’t die? Or dies earlier? Or later?What if another person DOES die?The single two most powerful words in the English language are “what if” (well - at least in the case of this answer. In another point in time they might be “vote Labour” or “turn left” or “grrr argh!” but that is a whole other issue).What if Hermione is secretly a Death Eater?What if Ron is seriously injured and never attends Hogwarts?What if Sirius Black is a traitor?What if Fudge believes them?What if everyone except Hermione and Luna die, and then on the 21st of October, 2015 they attack Marty and The Doc, tie them up and steal the Delorean and come back from the future to change the past so that everyone lives?How many different ways could the story unfold? How many different stories could be told?Would they be better? Would they be worse?Who knows? But they would be different. And that is sometimes what you want - a different story.It’s possible there is even a story where Umbridge isn’t a total and utter bitch-queen from hell.But lets not get carried away.
How can I put a simple hit counter on my craigslist.org listing?
I've been messing with craigslist.org and figured out that you can put html code in the body part of your ad. I am far from knowledgeable on html so I've only been able to alter size, style, positioning of text and put in a table. All I want to do is find a way to track how many people see the ad. Nothing fancy. Simple. Can anyone figure out how to insert a counter into the body part of a craigslist.org ad with html? Thanks in advance!
What is a good length for a fan fiction chapter (word-wise)?
My favorite fan fiction has over 13,000 words per chapter. The Black Heir Chapter 1: Finding a father & the new life, a harry potter fanficThe sequel has nearly 17,000 per chapter.Vindico Atrum Chapter 1: Lessons with a Dark Lord, a harry potter fanficBut lately I've been reading one-shots with under 4,000 words in total.So it really depends on the story length and the fandom.Usually with large fandoms like Harry Potter or Supernatural, the fanfics tend to have long 3,000+ words per chapter, but the opposite is true of small fandoms with chapters mainly under 2,000 words.A mixture of extremely long and short chapters in a fan fiction with over 50 chapters is completely fine. But if it is under 10 chapters with a complicated story line, then you want most, if not all, of the chapters to be 4,000+.A Good Guideline:Fluff: Short and SweetAngst: Long and PainfulComedy: Long enough that the jokes are a good distance from each other (Like when you unexpectedly tell a pun to you friends with enough time for them to let their guard down.)Romance: Longer than Fluff but shorter than AngstTragedy: Keep a romance length, without angst to hint towards how tragic it's about to be, but end almost like a cliff hanger that stops abruptly Horror: Longer than a romance/tragedy, generally longer than most fan fictions, with terrifying moments in between. Don't have continuous amounts of horror because that desensitizes the reader and makes it more tedious than horrifying. Action/Adventure: Generally it's short if there are no other dominant genre. Even with awesome explosions, a 3+ hour actions movie gets really boring really fast. My favorite reference for writing the themes in fan fictions is : Fandom - TV TropesI wouldn't worry too much about the length and more about the quality. There's no point in a 5,000 word chapter if half of it is describing a landscape that will have no affect on the story/characters.

What does cannon on fan fiction mean? And noncannon?
Canon is what happens in the books. It what the author have told the reader. Noncannon, also known as fanon, is what happens in fanfiction, which is not the real book. So, canon is like non-fiction, and noncannon is fiction, if you get what I mean.
What is actually counted as a view on Facebook videos?
I recommend to use Mintrics is a social video analytics platform that allows users to analyse & benchmark performance via one dashboard to uncover insights & recommendations on enhancing future creation & distribution.So you will be able to get the views numbers for each video for 10 sec, 30 sec, and complete views. That will help you to know the exact number of views and the number. Plus retention rate and bounce rate.
