Speaking of "Atonement"...

... I'm really saddened about how the story is doing on FF.Net. It never had that many readers - few of my stories ever had - but there were a handful of faithful ones who could even be bothered to drop a nice comment from time to time.
I've posted Chapter 5 exactly a week ago. According to the hit counter of the site, not a single soul has read it in a whole week. Which kinda makes the question of reviews a moot point, right?
I really don't know how to do this right for people. If updates are irregular, they complain and leave. I've really worked so hard both on "Smiths & Joneses", so that I could update them on the weekly basis and therefore spare my readers the tedious waiting, and what happens? They don't complain, just leave.
On
otherworlds_lib the story is doing slightly better, thanks to such wonderful people as
jenn_calaelen
aviv_b,
milady_dragon,
sammydragoncat and the ever-present
pharlap1, but even there, it seems I've lost half of my readers. Or more.
It's really, really depressing. Once I've finished "Atonement", just to get it out of my hair, I'll probably turn my back on Torchwoodfic for a while. It's just not worth the effort. :(
