Right - as if we needed one *more* technical web issue to deal with this week!
But we can create a way to have stats on stories uploaded to hp4gu or hp_fanfiction (which is where I've put my chapters) - all you need to do is put in a link to a counter on your
html-coded page. No public reviews linked to the story, but you could just create a file in your folder in the database & ask people to put reviews up there. Yes, I know it would
require math on your part to get the reader/review ratio but you wouldn't have to deal with ff.net...
