It'll be the year 2100 before any of my stories reach famous status 😆, but I do love the vote of confidence!
Something can take off unexpectedly and just rocket up there, and it usually pulls a few others higher with it.
Although, looking back through the archives, it seems as if views sitewide fell off a cliff since around July of this year. I know the ratio on my last several releases has not looked right at all. 100+ votes, but not even 5k views? Do your views seem to be out of whack?
The sudden, steep decline makes me wonder if they've perhaps updated some bot/spider filtering of that number, because only the views seem off. That would be good in a way, as it would better reflect actual people reading. Makes Famous and Legendary hopes stretch off far into the future, though.
Then again, if that's what happened, it won't last long. The bot creators are more prolific than any of us could ever dream of being, and no filter list can keep up with them. The numbers will steadily creep up as a fresh wave of internet spiders invade.
