Short Observation On Lack Of Interaction With Vocal Stories

Introduction

I tend to publish two or three Vocal stories a day and comment on at least ten (though I feel I don't do enough), and usually a dozen stories by other authors each week, but I am perturbed by these recent observations.

What Observations?

While interactions with my work have probably halved with Vocal Creators, I had put that down to the lack of Top Stories and Challenge placements, although for the first time, I got several recommendations in the last Raise Your Voice, which may have helped me get a Top Story with "THEM" and that has had a decent number of comments and hearts.

Here are five examples of Top Stories with less than ten reads/hearts, even though they have been there for a few days:

Maybe give them a read, Vocal certainly like them, and so do I. Hopefully, by the time you get to read them, they will be above the ten comment/heart level.

And some Challenge Placements and winners in the same boat:

If you have time, give these a read too, and get them above the ten level.

Conclusion

Part of the success of Vocal is reading and supporting others. I know it's summer and people may not have the time to read, but there is certainly no drop in publications, especially from me, although in the last week I have been working on two anthologies. one of which is here:

I don't know what the answer is, but in this piece, I have shared the work of ten other Vocal Creators who deserve a few more reads, and that is dependent on people reading this one, so if you have, thank you so much. I really appreciate your support.
