Oddly, it was this interview that spurred me to delete the two short stories I uploaded to FanLib. In my particular neck of the fandom world, some fic writers who I respect very much are affliated with FanLib and while I wish them the best of luck, I'm no longer currently comfortable with hosting fic there, if things change in the future, I dunno....we'll see.
Let me tell you, Interwebz, that is some zero traffic kinda place. I think I get more views on my RPG...in the posts where I simply make a laundry list of the posts I owe for the day (Forum based play by post)...and that's not hyperbole. I get more views in ten minutes on FFN than I did in four days on FanLib. There are people there who have fic posted in very popular fandoms like Heroes, and have earned maybe seven views or less in a month. Which seemed odd to me, especially considering how much recent publicity FanLib has received lately.
