For ever such a long time now, one of my Julina stories has been stuck!

It is the third one, called (logically) #002 - OK I started at 0 - and it has 2499 readers and 99 Kudos.

Can someone please put me out of my misery and just tip those numbers up by one?

Pretty please.

Julia.

Good to know I'm not the only one!

Now I know I'm not the only one who ever thought that about a kudos count situation.

I have sort of the opposite problem on one story. Could somebody please
TAKE AWAY about half the kudos on my stupid THE DEAD PIRATE SKETCH story?
It's a bit depressing that this garbage story I vomited out in less than an hour
got more kudos than some stories I labored for weeks+weeks on.

But as aggravations go that's as minor as they come,
more an amusing mental quirk than a problem.
Happy for you that you got your hundred.
And I don't think any request is too silly for this place!
hugs, Veronica

That happens, my dear. That happens to many authors.

On a more serious note, many persons prefer to read shorter stories over longer ones.

Also, one of my flashes is stuck at 99 as well...

Happens every now and then

I have a couple of stories just below "psychological" marks at present. (No, I'm not asking you to put them over the thresholds).

I remember how frustratrated I was when for the first time I had a story getting close to a 100. It got stuck in the mid 90s. Then I published another story that was slightly less popular but gave a few extra kudos to the first story. Now it was stuck at 98 and stayed there. Then I published a third story which finally pushed the first over a hundred but only after the third had already broken that barrier :)

So that's when you got your

So that's when you got your second story-writing wind? Or was that your story-writing second wind?

Well

I know that I am guilty of this, when I reread, catch up or otherwise binge read, I go straight to the next chapter forgetting things like that
