I wasn't sure if you were indicating that the pp question didn't belong here or were inferring that is unsupportive on the whole to discuss this topic. Perhaps you can clarify, Kelly. I do understand for those who feel bad when they read about others PVs that you are definitely right, but I don't think the question itself was unsupportive. I realize that may not be what you meant anyway, but wasn't sure when I read it.
Depending on how you look at it, it can be supportive in discussing it. Some may be spurred on by others progress rather than depressed by it, KWIM? Plus it gives us a clearer picture of what is possible at AC. We can also use the information to learn from one another -
what is she doing that I could just as easily do to improve my performance. I am anxious and hopeful that Heather will weigh in on this, as I assume she will be able to encourage me in what I can expect from PV. I simply say this because I was concerned the comment might stifle the conversation on the topic, of which I was hoping to learn more. I am fairly new to AC and have only just begun to focus on ways that improve PV. Looking for more ideas.
I should mention I had a similar conversation with others at another promotional site and many suggested there is advantages to PV if you subscribe to people (and let them know that you did) rather than just add to favorites. People are more likely to reciprocate and sub to you, and are more likely to read your work if they have an additional reminder that you have been published. Just an FYI if anyone else is looking for ways to improve PV.
ADDING: I should also apologize if the responses do bother anyone. I never even considered the fact that it could make someone feel badly, and that was not my intention in responding so quickly. I was curious and was looking at it from the standpoint that it would help me at AC.
