    Interesting topic, glad I found this thread.

    Harry Potter and the Hero's Path:

    Words: 175,374

    .377% review/hit ratio (about average?)

    It's funny, when I started this fic I figured I would get maybe 10 reviews/chapter. Guess I was a little off....

    Go Jack!

    And a .377% review/hit is pretty good. Pulling a hundred reviews per chapter leaves many feeling like others will review so they don't have to. And longer multi-chapter stories can skew numbers in odd directions (especially as chapter one gets more and more hits just from linking to the page). I don't think anyone's shown an actual number (besides zero) worse than my 143 reviews / 124,002 hits for Freedom of Apathy (that's 0.115%). Although that is a 15 chapter story that was posted all at once. And some probably just review the one-shot sequel.

    It's been a week since I finished this so the numbers I doubt will change too much more:

    French fans are so fucking lazy. And they have no taste.

    That's for my Harry-centric stories. My other stories are even less known.

    I believe people were as generous as they were to my less popular stories (the last three) simply because they already knew me as a writer. What can I say? I experiment.

    It seems like the less popular the story, the better batting average.

    Jesus Christ man, makes sense though seeing as how you've reviewed pretty much every fic I've read.

    Yeah, I really cut down a hella lot after last year. I was pretty free with the reviews, and I mastered three different types of reviews: The faux-high review, where I either recite a quote from a movie/person or a few lyrics from a song, the "lolz! update soon!" review, and the "well, this is really great, but here are around a hundred things that could be better". I used to leave flames, but that got boring, and I felt like an asshole. I also sometimes used to type out scenes that I thought would be amusing to see. I do have to admit that I'm sure that Athena Kitty owns me in terms of reviews left.

    Are you sure? Athena Kitty? What? No way? Will Remus sleep with Sirius? Will Sirius need to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night? Will Remus be shocked? Will it be a full moon? Is Remus an Alpha? Am I annoying you yet?!!

    Kekekeke...3000 reviews is a lot, though. I've got...maybe 100? Probably not even that much. I just don't take the time to review, I guess, unless the fic is terrible enough, or fantastic enough to review.

    3000 reviews is a hell of a lot. Too bad you can't see them all in FFN review history... I have maybe 100 or so, probably less.

    Ahaha, yarrgh, perfect imitation of her. She only reviewed two of my chapters, but out of the eight sentences, six of them were questions.

    Well Nobody answered, so this is what you get. Fair warning To anyone looking for stories they haven't read on this thread (Why they would I don't know but...) NONE of these are HP stories. Anything with the word 'Lost' In the title is Part of the same (Currently On-Going) story.

    Err... I thought it'd be pretty easy to figure out they're Naruto just by clicking on your profile here and following the link to your fanfiction.net userpage where your stories are all located.

    Or also, considering that the largest fandom represented on dlp other than HP is Naruto.

    going back to the actual topic, it would be neat to see the number of hits per day. I'd bet that nonjon(==house elves) gets more hits when alerts are down and people are defaulting to things they've already read, or going through C2 groups.
