About Fiction Friends 2.1, Medium’s Future Updates, and a New Discussion Thread
The Story List #9, Special Edition
It’s time for something a little different this week!
This has been brewing for a couple of weeks, but after last week went by without any new submissions to the library, this week’s newsletter offered a good opportunity to talk about how Fiction Friends is doing, and where it’s headed next.
We’re now a little over two months since the launch of Fiction Friends 2.0, and we’ve had 34 stories added to the library in that time. A big thank you to everyone who has contributed so far!
In that same time, however, I’ve also been able to observe the statistics for the publication…
And I can see some big areas for improvement.
No matter how much thought and planning goes into a project, there’s no substitute for actually doing it and seeing what happens.
In hindsight, I can see things that I could have done differently that would have improved the search engine optimization for the sections of the library, their visibility on Medium, and potentially the way that the library interacts with the Medium algorithm.
