i know what you mean – i obssessed about hits on my CBB for a while (i finally gave up. i’m not gonna get the number of hits jhoom or unforth does) and i’m positive about the reason why too – things i tagged no matter how brief and non explicit just to be safe are probably scaring people away 😦 *HUGS* but your story was awesome!

Yeah, that’s the pain with including that kind of things in fics. Like, I’m not saying they shouldn’t be tagged (they obviously should be) but they do tend to scare people off. And I know I’m guilty of that, too.
*hugs* I dunno, kinda bites but *shrugs* it is what it is.
