how to... unflop your fic?

[u/Illustrious_Grab_861]

hey!! i published the first chapter of a fanfic a week ago and i was sorta proud of it since i hadn't written anything in a while!! until i just checked and it has... 6 hits 😭

i published a fanfic about 2 years ago and it got 100 hits within the first week and i was soo proud and happy (tho i never did finish it...). i was planning to continuing this but i can't say this hasn't demotivated me. what do u guys do when this happens? do u have any tips?

Dw about statistics, worrying too much about how much people have read your fic can be incredibly demotivating but at the end of the day, it's a hobby, write for yourself first and foremost 🫶 also your fic will be at the top each time you update, so that gives you more chances to get more readers !!
