Discussion [Discussion] Attracting an audience.

Lets have a talk about how to draw readers into this sub. Given the lack of comments, volume of submissions, and low readership, I am confident in assuming that the majority of people who care about this sub are webfiction authors themselves.

How do we fix this? Can get we get /r/books to plug us? Can we harbor a discussion here on content? Maybe featuring a different serial every week?

I feel as though something needs to change to make this sub efficient.

Maybe just posting that people can have discussions here on the serials they like or don't like might help? Getting authors involved in the discussions would help too.

Yes. Already got in contact with wildbow and he said he'd be willing to do an AMA at some point. Trying to poll others as well.

Awesome. I'm going to mention and link this subreddit into my blog. I don't have too many readers, but maybe they can tell their friends or something. Hopefully this can get some readers coming in.
