Experiment: What happens if we all get a story in the trending section?

Thank you for mentioning me! <3

I admire the effort but in reality I’m not sure it’d work. Not enough people on forums to get everyone who replies to the thread on the trending section. :thinking:

I think this is a nice idea in theory but what exactly is the process of your experiment? Is it just for people to drop their stories on this thread and hope enough people read it?
It would take a certain amount of reads (darn near 2-5k a day. Edit: definitely more than that) to be able to get into the TS and stay there, so if I can, I would suggest trying to come up with a solid game plan to carry out this experiment. How do you all plan on getting each other seen? Maybe play around with different key words? Marketing strategies (such as all getting together and promoting through IG or something), cover types, etc. Is this going to be a group effort or a bunch of people just throwing their stories on the thread without returning any energy (thus accidentally turning this into a r4r thread)?

These are just suggestions to see if you all can do some solid planning. I’d love to see you all succeed!

I feel like this will be a R4R thread…

We kinda did something similar before with Line 400. So, the forums can definitely influence the trending.

True, we do need a plan!

Okay I kinda have a plan though I don’t think it’ll work we could, each day recommend a small authors story like making a thread or something!

It could work if you get enough people to agree to promote and read the story. You’d have to give it time to build up. @ELx how did you guys do it?

@amberose made a thread about it:

But to cut it short, someone already had a story with 400 lines already, it was short and easy to read. They put the story in Adventure (since that seems to be the easiest one to trend) and we promoted it for everyone to read it on the same day. I think it gained about 200 reads in a day, it did enter Adventure’s trending section I believe.

Or should we do this focus in one story to get it in the trending section?

We could try it again, but the experiment’s success mostly relied on Adventure genre and short chapters.
There are a lot of factors for a story’s success, so I assume you’d at least need to pick an art style majority would like. Not to mention that chapters would have to be short (I’m talking about 7 minute short) so people can read it fast and replay again.

Adventurous entries were already trending one hour after deadline ended, I had to scroll down a bit to see any Clue entries, I could only find one, and it had 25k reads. I assume any genre outside of Adventure would be hard to trend.
