User blog comment:Umbrello/Self Promotion Makes Me Feel Weird/@comment-26054278-20150722011549

That is perfectly normal, and I don't really see any people that really do completely promote their stories continually.

Oh, except Humboldt, of course.

It is usually only Humboldt that really goes all the way with shameless promotion.

That aside, promotion does have benefits (how many stories of Humboldt's have been nominated for PotM again?), but sometimes, things just slip through the cracks.

The Writer's Showcase is a pretty good way to promote things, though (even though those sometimes slip through as well).
