Law of Diminishing Returns

I've noticed that each chapter of Contraindications seems to generate less interest than the previous one -- fewer comments, faves, and views -- it's true here, but especially on SoFurry. I'm really not sure why this is happening. Maybe it's easier to read something that's only a couple parts than to tackle a thirteen-part saga.
Don't worry, I'm not demotivated to write any more or anything, but I do wonder why it happens. Surely at least the people who liked the earlier chapters would come back. But I guess either I take things into territory some people don't like, or I take too damn long to update and people forget about the series... and the name change halfway through probably didn't help either.
The nice thing is that as I post these new parts, I pick up a few people who go back and find the early chapters for the first time.
Anyway, I'm well into chapter 12, you guys. Then one more chapter (probably) to finish out.

Keep up the writing! Your fans love you! :D
Then again, I'm much slower then you with my updates XD so it's no wonder.
Also, when you upload a "Chapter 1" it gets a lot of attention because people don't feel like they're going to be missing something as they read. However, if someone sees "Chapter 9" on the front page, they go "Oh, well, I've already missed 1-8, so I guess I'll just skip it." It's silly, but true.
Glad to hear you're still going through with the story. I haven't gone back to read the older chapters yet, but I'm kinda happy in that, for the moment, I don't really need to. It's really easy to follow, and I like that.
I do have you on my watchlist over there though :P
Seriously, Contraindictions is one of the best series on SoFurry in its subject area, keep up the fantastic work :)
