Quick question for any veterans around

[Pergostra]

Hello to you all, it's me, the man out of it's depth.

In any case, the reason this thread exist, made in a random rush, is because something completely unexpected happened to one of my story.

It's not something bad, I reassure you, actually it's a good news, the kind one may even celebrate, though, in my case, I'm just wondering if I can rake advantage of that.

I'm beating around the bush here, the reason why I created this post is because one of my story that I was writing to improve my skills, just like that, randomly decided to end up on trending so....

Is there any good way to take advantage of that? Something similar to what people on Royal road do maybe? Post more chapters, more often, or something like that?

Or is that pretty useless and should I just enjoy the ride no matter where it takes me?

If you want to take advantage of that, then do not stop. That's the only way, so those who began reading and sticking around know it comes regularly. Otherwise, they will dip.

I mean, I will of course not stop until I'm satisfied with my writing. So don't worry, that wasn't my goal. I'm having quite the fun writing too, and I have around 100 chapters in backlog, a chapter a day, 100 days, so, yes, I won't stop.

Thanks for the help though, even if I was searching for some more actionable tips I wasn't already planning on doing.

There are not many tips to give, because most of the time, it all comes down to posting enough. My very first book was full of bad grammar, yet still garnered enough readers to put it onto the trending list over and over again with multiple first-place slots. If you have a story/characters that are interesting enough, then a stable and continuous release schedule does the rest.

Okidoki, thanks for the help corty, I'll keep up a stable schedule for now

Yeah, I kind of think output is king, which make sense.
We only have so many weeks in our lives and these stories have to have an end.
Only GRR Martin gets away with making people wait for it.

It is a bit of an issue, though. Readers want finished stories, not work in progress. So, authors have to essentially present already finished works, which is a tad sad.
