Question for writers here....?

[naosu]

OH! I thought of something fun to ask you guys. And I think others will be curious about this too.

So if you have 2 or more stories up,.. and let's say both have been up for awhile... have any of you thought what the % of your total readers in both stories is a reader for both or all of your other stories? And what do you think that percentage is? I would think there might be an estimated % that are in both your stories. Its probably not 0%, or 100%. But the longer both stories go there's probably some estimated common %...?

Anyway, curious what you think?

Something between 1 and 100

Can’t really tell, but I do know that have a handful of regulars who are following me across multiple of my books.

Well that's because you are awesome!

Thank you both for replying. You and Corty.

I noticed many readers follow both of my stories. If I had to guess, maybe 80% of the active readers from the less popular one follow me over to the more popular one.

it will change and there will be a pareto distribution

 

[MasterY001]

Depends on how similar or different your stories are from each other. If they take place in the same canon, that also will influence the numbers.

The % of total readers that is both sadists and masochists.

 

[tiaf]

My two stories are totally different. The writing style differs too. The readership of both should not match by more than 20%

 

[Deleted member 120990]

If I had to guess, it's around 50 percent

 

[CharlesEBrown]

For first 1-3 chapters probably close to 90%. Past that probably less than half.

There's five years between my first and second story here. I know some of my old readers are reading the new one. But since I don't update the old one, I can't really tell if people would read both.

In a way, though, my current story is almost like four different novels, since I have 4 distinct POVs.
