Many people have been asking me lately (or it seems lately, really its just been accumulating over time) why, when I seem so popular, do I have so few page views.

Such a question as here, from Dredgionslave666 on ff.net, who pretty much put everyone's opinion on the matter into the best version possible:

"Rin, you've got the most win slash fics out there, I even read comments showering lurvs upon you from people who normally flame other slash fans. But WTF? You only gots liek 5000 page views on deviantart and hardly any here on ff.net. The only place you seem to be any popular is y!gallery. O.O And even thats not much. SO I ask you, why the heck are so many other people with crappy stuffs getting better ratings?"

Well, here's my answer to you dregionslave (Yes, I totally read that comic BTW, Dregion rulz!)

I don't socialize.

That's it. That's the great mystery to my name being well known, and my pageviews being nill. I don't hang in the community forums, I don't really make many friends, and I don't hang with millions of other people online. I have a few choice places I hang on Gaia, MissBimbo, and Yahoochats, but even there i rarely go to. I'm hardly ever one except in class and work. I spend most of my time...writing.

So forgive me if you judge my gallery stats to equal my popularity.

I'm talking to you IslandSacrifice93. Here's what I say to your comment:

A random person tackled me at the park this afternoon because she recognized me as "The Rin" from myyearbook.

A complete stranger, randomly tackling me on my jog, demanding to know when I'll update. Usually you have to go to a cosplay convention for that kind of ego swelling.

Eat that sistah!

I'm done now. I'm gonna go and write and waste even more of my time not being online and not being a magnet for more attention.

I'm not an attention whore, I enjoy my small stats, it means I have less assholes and more actual readers. I want people to like my work, not me. That's why my deviations here have over 11000, could there be more? Yes, there could be. Do I want more? Sure, who doesn't? Will I whore myself out for more?

No.

I'll sit here and update, and if a few new readers pic me up and enjoy me, well good for them, if I'm stuck with my same old readers, better for me, I'd rather have the same people coming back over and over again, then a bunch of new people every update. It means I'm doing something people LIKE.

Plus, it's great seeing all my friends again and again. You know how many people ask me the same questions?! It gets dull repeating myself. people who know me, they already have these answers, they don't need constant explaining.
