Good job! I'm an indie who hasn't done a blog tour, but I've submitted a story to quite a few review blogs and have done a giveaway at the Goodreads m/m group in exchange for review, and received a few reviews from each. There's a list of blogs somewhere in the group that had a ton of dead ones last time I saw it, and honestly, most of the live ones have little to no readership. Even Reviews by Jessewave, once the biggest and busiest, is archive only now. When somebody's around and receptive to your story, though, it can be great. Brief Encounters (short-specific but on hiatus since 2013) in particular was awesome for me as a terrified wee author who'd never published anything outside fandom. Goodreads groups and individual, trusted reviewers that are open to new authors are probably a better bet for getting your name out there these days. But the best thing you can do for yourself is focus on writing full-length novels. Romance readers of every stripe prefer it long. heh

Yeah I've managed to find a few live blogs to host on yay!

I definitely want to put out something long next time. I love writing short stuff because there's that sense of 'Yay I'm done!', plus they're hella easier to edit. XD But I love reading and writing long stuff too, and from a fan perspective, longer is definitely better, because sometimes short can feel unfulfilling, or just rushed.

Yeah, shorts are still a good way to make your debut without the huge investment of a novel, it's just that the appetite for them is limited. Still, once you get a novel out and your readers want more, it'll be nice to have something already available for them to enjoy.
