" I still have not figured out what to make of the stats for them." Great sleuthing Mehak! You gave me something to think about regarding the responses. I just published a story about responsses, and I think the answer to the above is: So writers can determine how much they're actually engaging. The stats show all your responses, to stories and to responses, just as you mention. But now, I'm thinking what a great promo opportunity it provides. Hmm. :-)
