Or, rather - links to pictures. Remember when i posted about my books being mostly unpacked and bookshelves up? And i had pictures of said shelves?
Some of you were all 'i can't read the titles!' and i said i'd take pictures that showed the titles. I did! Of a few shelves. But they're *very big*, so i'm only putting the links here, rather than actually putting the images up. So click at your own risk! :)
Shelf one.
Shelf two.
Shelf three.
Shelf four.
And now...and observation. Or, the question. And this is not - let me be clear, *not* - a plea for more comments or a whine about how 'nobody wuvs me!'. It's just something i noticed and thought was interesting.
When i posted the first installment of Aftermath, it ended up with an astonishing 221 comments. Now, take out half of those for my replies, and say another ten for back-and-forth, that's still a *very*, very amazing 100 positive comments. The second and third parts, respectively, earned 133 and 95, or - 60 and say....42. Very, very nice. But why such a drop?
Was it because the second part didn't immediately follow on the first part, and people felt cheated? Was it because even though the header says Sam/Dean, there isn't any actual sex and in fact, only one brief kiss? Is it because it's 'unfinished' in that i don't have a number of parts and they can see how long until the end? It's odd.
And like i said - not begging for more comments, i'm perfectly happy with the amount that i get - my flist is amazing and wonderful and strokes my ego *quite* nicely. But the difference between parts one and three is really just...thought-provoking.
Any thoughts?
:)

Just in case you had some silly notion about me not loving you anymore;-D
Also, I find that I don't comment on all portions of a story because I often let them pile up so I can read several at once. Unless something specific about a chapter grabs me, I'll just comment on the last part I read.
