Taking Chances, by E. L. Van Hine and L.H. Nicoll

Last night in chat I was getting all excited about seeing who is reading the Laramie Saga with my new statistics counter.  The problem is, the stats counter I am using is a free one that I cannot get upgraded, because I don't have a company in Germany, and I don't have a tax number, so therefore I can only track up to 1,000 views a day.

1,000 views a day seemed like something my LJ page would never hit - right? wrong.  It went over 1,000 views last night at 11 o'clock and when it restarted at midnight, overnight over 560 views have already been logged, and I haven't had my morning coffee!  Okay, well I'm late getting up.  Of course, this is all good news, because it means that the Laramie Saga is quite popular and is being read worldwide.  In less than a 24 hour period, readers from 26 countries have logged on.  Leslie's theory about "marathon readers" is definitely true: there is no casual reading going on here.  With 233 unique visits since I went to bed last night, we are definitely "not alone"!


Readership

USA:   58%
Canada: 11%
Germany 10%
UK        6%
Hong Kong 2%
Denmark   2%
Other 10%

Combining this with the fact that half of the readers of Ennis and Ellery discussion group here at Bettermost are unregistered lurkers at any given time, it would seem the Laramie Saga is a guilty pleasure for many more people than I would have suspected.

I dont blame you getting excited Louise, this is wonderful!  But I'm a little ashamed to see that only 6% of readers come from the UK!  Bad UK!

I,m from the UK Christie, where bouts are you from then? Always nice to meet a fellow Brit. I,ts peeing with rain here at the moment. Apparantly we are getting the remenants of hurricaine george I think..wonderful, so I,d like some "action" today please to warm things up a bit Louise? Poor Ennis..his eyesight will start going funny if he doesnt get some soon lol. And you know what will happen to him if he keeps playing with it dont you? He,ll go blind.

Another British based reader LS addict here, from London. Do you think that we make up the 6% UJ readership?

Hi Karen, nice to meet you. :)I hadnt heard that one about hairy palms lol. Where bouts in London are you then? Oh and apparantly, if the winds from the remains of this hurricaine get too bad, they say it could be as bad as 1987, so dont go near Hyde Park Karen..remember what happened to the trees, they got turned into matchsticks!!!

Oh, what fun!
I was trying to imagine what Junior's house might look like.  I envision it as a small bungalow/cottage type home.  We know there are 2 bedroom since E&E are staying in the guest room. 

Thanks NavyVet! I like them both
