Looking back on 2021

Happy Birthday Tantalizing Tales #1

Let’s Celebrate

I had the idea to start a Medium publication at the very start of 2021.

I asked Posy to come on board. We hit the road running, began to load up some of our older stories and plan ahead. Mrs k and Liz agreed to write for the new project, so we were ready to roll. I’d like to say for the record that without their contribution, and the amazing writers, the magazine would never have reached the heights it has.

Team Tanalizing!

On January 19th the first ever Tantalizing Tale was published. And I don’t mind admitting none of us really knew what we were doing regarding curating, editing or promoting a publication. But, we could all write and learned fast.

Since then, our Tantalizing Toes have hardly had to time to touch the ground and I have to say it’s been a blast!

Indeed, creating Tantalizing Tales was one of my better decisions in life!

As it is our 1st birthday I’m going to check out the statistics, get tantalizing and share the cream of 2021. Because I want to spotlight as many wonderful writers as possible, no one will have more than one link. This means if for example you appear anywhere in this article, you won’t then find an embedded post of yours in the 2nd birthday post.

Simple Statistics

Medium don’t expand a hell of a lot on statistics, but I am happy to keep it simple.

The celebration is about the collective win not a winner.

First, here are a few very simple statistics for you.

Over the year we have published nearly 500 stories and reached over 105,000 people.

At the moment we are averaging over 13,000 views a month with approx 21,000 minutes of monthly reads — (that’s about 11.5 hours reading a day). WOW… This is down to the incredible writing and support from the readers and community.

Last 90 days — Views
Reading time over the last 90 days

We could have published a lot more of your tales but prefer to be select, which gives us a chance to support the writers by promoting every single story more than once during the week it is published.

The 1000 views milestone

In total there are 12 stories on Tantalizing Tales which have received over 1000 views. Incidentally, these stories have also had the most Medium calculated reads.

These writers have achieved this milestone with one or more of their stories:

Sophia Dublin; Francesca Demont; Emily (Little Miss Right Now); May More; Eroticlit; A.M. Harding

Here are a selection of those 12 tales, in no particular order…

View/Read Ratio

This is a Medium estimated percentage which tells us what amount of those who clicked on a story, then when on to read it completely.

There is one anomaly I will mention and that is this story of mine which has 100% read ratio. I think it was probably a Medium glitch.I don’t believe that every person who opened the tale read it from start to finish.

Here are the stories with the highest view to read ratios:

Marie A. Rebelle — 75%

Posy Churchgate — 73%

Mrs. K — 71%

Cousin Pons — 69%

Nero J. Black — 69%

Cal — 65%

Later today I will be back with a look at Fans, Micro Monday and stories that are part of a series.

Fact: Did you know the fishnet legs in the header picture on the laptop version of the publication are mine?

NB: If you have only one tale with us or are new to the publication, then it is likely you won’t be featured — but there is always next year…

Part two of coming later today…
