Fanfiction: I have readers in Guam?

[nebroadwe]

I'm having fun with FF.net's newly introduced "Reader Traffic" widget. It's a little cumbersome yet (figuring out who's reading what involves a lot of back-and-forth with the drop-down menu), but the "Breakdown by Visitor Country" chart is just plain cool, in a "Dude -- people all over the freakin' world are reading my 'fic!" way. Last month, I had hits from Malaysia, Thailand and Bulgaria; only five days into August, and I've already seen traffic from Finland, Mexico, Singapore and Guam. Mind you, that's a drop in the bucket compared to the readers hailing from the US and UK, but still -- people all over the freakin' world are reading my 'fic! Logically, I knew this must be happening, but it's a different experience laid out in blue and orange.

I have this wild idea that I should try drabbling in German, just to see what the difference is between the geographical spread of readership in both language groups. Sociological experiment ho!

I'm not fluent enough in Italian to try

I'm probably not fluent enough in German, but the girl dreams ... :-)
