Vocal Think You Should Give These A Visit
Some Top Stories With Little Traction
Introduction
We can't read every story published, and we can't read every Top Story or Challenge placement on Vocal, but there are nearly eight hundred thousand of us on here and a lot of readers who are not even Vocal members.
The only indications of traction we can see on others' creations are hearts and comments, so these may have received a lot of reads but little Vocal traction. You can see this in my most-read stories:
These are Ten Top Stories with fewer than five hearts and comments. Sometimes the only comment is mine:
Conclusion
Please give some of these a read, Vocal think they deserve it, and so do I.
Thank you for dropping in.
We need to show our support, especially with comments when we can, and I'll end with a shoutout to Mark Graham. who just left constructive, supportive comments on about twelve of my stories.

Writing About Writing: The Rainbow Trap
The good thing about living in modern times is that LGBTQ representation in media is increasing. Not just in niche and Independant media, either, but also in mainstream media. Books, movies, TV shows, comics... they're finally catching on that LGBTQ+ people form a significant part of their audience, and deserve to see themselves on screen and in fiction, not just as victims in documentaries and true crime shows.

Kaelos and Lyla
It was a hot steamy day in Ancient Greece, a city known for its art and marble quarries. The heat is intense and the air smells of dust and olive oil. My name is Kaelos and I carve statues. Statues from gods, to normal people, to animals, bugs whatever you can think of I do. I left at 18 to pursue my passion, sometimes it gets lonely but I pour everything I have into my work and they pour back. Im commissioned by the wealthy cruel merchant to carve a statue of the “Perfect Maiden”. I hate working for him, but I need the money so I accept the job.

Self Help: Grifters' Gospel
On Self-Help, Snake Oil, and the Illusion of Change Psychology professionals and students can be imagined on two opposite sides of a line called self-help books: likely a larger group opposes pop-science and step-by-step manuals filled with talk of success, journaling, and not giving a f**k; others love them, but they aren’t many.

A stirring call to action, Mikeydred; I may have to retire from teaching in order to keep up with all of the Vocalites whose work I admire; I will do my best until that blessed day arrives!

Thank you again for bringing these stories forward, I’ll get on the reading train
Thanks so much for the shoutout Mr. Mike.
So nice Mike ♦️♦️♦️
Those read counts suggest that you have reached the audiences beyond Vocal, Mike, and that is incredibly impressive. My most read story does not even have 1K reads.
So kind of you Mike. Hope they appreciate and give you a read.
