    One thing I do like more about FFN than AO3 is the stats breakdown. It reminds me of blogging sites like WordPress because you can see stats per chapter, country of origin, date of view.

    But after posting a few stories, I’m missing the tagging ability from AO3. And the summaries are shorter too so pitching stories is more difficult if you don’t have a good hook…

      I do miss the stats per chapter. (As much fun as seeing the country of origin was though, I’m fine without that. It’s less invasive towards the readers.) Without knowing hits on chapters though, the hits stat on AO3 means nothing to me. Because unless it is a one-shot, there is no way of saying anyone clicked on the story and continued.

      With one-shots you don’t know if anyone actually read it to the end either. But I’m a little more invested in knowing how many people actually moved to chapter two in my multichaptered fics.

      It’s the one thing I really wish AO3 had.

        Yeah, on one hand, I hate stats & my desire to monitor them. On the other, I want more detail! 😂
