Bravo Brian. But you know as well as I that Scouries doesn't give a shit about who is offended or the wishes of others. As long as he is allowed his say, he'll continue on with his ways. Especially now that a feminine personality has come to the fore, though she doesn't sound very feminine does she?drksideofthemoon said:

mmmmmmmarrrrrrrrssssssshhhhhhhhhh.........
Hi, Mr. Alien, it’s [size=+2]Gabby[/size]
You disappoint me sir. And just when I thought there might be some hope...
I mean, Jesssus Christtttt, I should have realized that if anyone's nickname was going to have superfluous consonants, it would be a friend of Mr. Scouries. (I'm sorry, I'm trying to be cute again, aren't I?) not at all sir…but you are starting to sound like that foolish dark boy with the little penis…I’d leave those type of comments to him in the future if I were you.
I am glad though that you were able to find two excellent stories from such a small sample. It sorta justifies the effort Mr. Scouries and I put into the exercise doesn’t it?
And Re the Top Rated List:
I have no desire to disparage either the stories or the authors of the stories on this list but feel a couple of points might be in order. I looked at the first page of this list today (the top 75 rated stories All-Time, All Categories) and found the following:
-At least 68 of the 75 were the 2nd chapter or a later chapter in a serial story.
-52 came from the Novels and Novellas category, 18 Sci-Fi or Non-Human, 3 Romance and one each from Gay and Celebrities
-No stories from before 2005 and a large majority came from 2007 (43/75) or 2006 (20/75).
-Only five stories with more than 100 votes (although a couple are yours – now I begin to understand why you like this list! I also found five others by the lady who’s been accusing me of unlady like behavior – you think she might have mentioned her self interest in the debate don’t you?)
The problems this list presents to those Literotican readers who open it in search of good stories to read is quite obvious:
1) Whether we like it or not the vast majority of the Literotica reading public prefers one chapter, complete stories to long multi chapter epics. Someone isn’t likely to click open chapter 13 of a story he’s never seen before.
2) There is not one story represented from the 7 most popular categories among our readers: INCEST, MATURE, LOVING WIVES, EROTIC COUPLES, NON-CONSENT, BDSM, and GROUP SEX.
3) No stories that have stood the test of time are represented here. Where are the great stories from 2004/3/2/1/0?
4) Any story with less than 100 votes doesn’t have a large enough sample size to avoid the vote rigging we’re all too familiar with from Literotica’s contest scene.
5) We don’t know the score of the first chapter in the novel. As just about everyone knows the first chapter gives a much fairer and informative rating of the story in question than some subsequent chapter. You get rid of the people who don’t like it! For example, by the time someones slogged through 20+ chapters of a story he’s not likely to vote anything but a 5 is he?
6) Huge duplication on the lists. The top 500 probably only has 200 different stories on it, if that.
I have absolute confidence in saying that if we randomly assigned stories from the All-Time Highest Rated list to 1000 typical readers who visited the site and asked them to rate them that not one of them would have an Average Score of over three (3) the next day.
This doesn’t mean the stories are terrible, it just means they’d never be the first choice of most of our readers.
And while clicking open the Top Rated stories by category will allieviate problem #2, the rest of the problems remain on these sub lists.
The list of Top Vote receiving stories we’ve presented here may not be perfect but I guarantee you that our typical ‘Literotica Reader’ would be happier with the stories on Mr. Scouries list than he would be with the other. And that’s borne out by the number of votes and the number of views they’ve received.
All this list does is give another resource to our readers. To use or not use. I’m not suggesting we get rid of the other lists. To each his own. So why are you all so threatened by it?

p.s. we’ve got ‘gator’ on the grill tonght at ScouriesWorld- the boss is finally back. And I’m going to get me a new pair of gator skin dancing boots if I play my cards right!

If the quality of Scouries' stories is indicative of the rest of the work on this list, I think I'll look elsewhere for reading recommendations.

I so agree on some of them. There are some excellent writers listed in his "club" such as Drksideofthemoon.DeeZire said:
But I am still of the opinion that a thousand votes on a story that has a 2.00 rating still isn't something I'm going to want to read.
I don't check out the top list stories. I don't look at my scores after the second or third day after they come out. I write multichapter stories and seem to have a nice size fan base. I also write short stories as well. If people don't want to read my work, there are many worthy and well written stories on Literotica.
There are a few people who ruin a site like this for others, usually the ones who think they are so much better than the rest. I come here to write, to get the fan base and to get experience. Now I am being published in print come the Spring and I just signed a contract for my third novel. I have more manuscripts out with publishers that I am waiting to hear from. I consider that this site and the help of other authors and readers is the reason that I am doing so well.
Manu and Laurel have done wonders with this site, considering the mass amount of readers and authors. They are quick to respond to decent questions and Laurel has always been wonderful about anything I've asked of her.
I am so sick of self-important delusional people. Especially when they don't have the consideration to abide by another author's wishes.

I didn't mean to impugn other writers. It's just that any list with Scouries name on it is going to lack credibility, by virtue of the fact that his writing is so...what's the word...average?Daniellekitten said:

What, are you jealous because you don't have any stories listed in his "club" I wonder. No wait, you do, and yet you bitch about it. C'mon, Ms. Moon, get a life.

Actually, I'm not jealous of his little "club". Even if I had a story that would qualify, I wouldn't want to be in it. I think the most votes I have on a story is in the five hundreds somewhere, but I don't keep track of it.TruthOrDare said:
And while Brian is a good friend of mine, we aren't in anyway related. I wish, but alas, Mrs. Brian got to him first.

MOON DELETED SEPT 14
MR. TEX – thanks guy, finally a post that addresses the issues. Not that I agree with everything you say of course.
Yes, 50 votes should be the absolute minimum to get on an All-Time top rated list. Given the literrally hundreds of thousands of readers who visit the site each week 50 votes is certainly not asking too much. Personally I’d prefer at least a 100 vote minimum (for both lists and contests!).
Re your comment: Readers were fewer and much more picky back then… I’m not so sure it was the fewer numbers of readers but agree it was that they were pickier – i.e. they scored the stories in a much more demanding way. In todays Literotica any vote less than a “5” is regarded as ‘troll-ism’ and prompts tears and whining from our coddled authors.
The red H, once an indicator of excellance is now meaningless, some 73.5% of Literotica stories get one. And in certain categories (Romance and Novels for example) over 97.65% of submitted stories get one! The 500th story on the Romance list today is rated 4.86!
Re Chapter 1 scores versus scores on subsequent chapters. You ask what I base this on. Quite simply I base this on my own experience, on having investigated serial scores of other authors, common sense and finally official site statistics that were furnished to me.
Mathmatical analysis of story scores that I’ve been made privy to by the sites accountants indicate the following: The score for a multi chapter Literotica story improves by an average of 0.14 basis points between its first chapter and its fourth. Even larger differences were noted between a first chapter and a tenth chapter. Hence having a chapter 4 or 5 or 6 on a top rated list without reference to its earlier scores is foolish.
Re your comment: Someone must like them, they are on the top list after all. You are assuming that all readers on this site prefer incest… No, perhaps you misread me, I didn’t single out one category, instead I pointed out that not one of the top seven most popular catagories is represented (Incest, BDSM, Mature, Loving Wives, Non-Consent, Group, Erotic Couples).
Re your comment:…Exactly what is the Typical Lit reader and how did you come up with this demographic? I guess I came up with it the same way you came up with your: The majority of readers are looking for stroke material. Period
I do appreciate your last comment. I agree with it and it is exactly what we plan on doing. Post the list, update it but it's not the do all, end all, list of best stories. It's a list of stories with over 1000 votes. Period.
MISSY – Re your: But I am still of the opinion that a thousand votes on a story that has a 2.00 rating still isn't something I'm going to want to read.
It should be noted that most stories on Gabby’s list aren’t rated 2.00.
For example, “Hindsight”, an Anal Category story by the famous rgjohn has a 4.80 rating on 3100 votes. This means that his story has amassed at least 2500 perfect 5’s, in other words he has received more perfect scores than many ‘Top Rated’ stories have views.
Wm_Sexpear’s “Thank You Jeannie”, an Incest category story has 2200 votes and a 4.84 rating!
Or bilbo181’s “Katie’s Massage”, a Loving Wives story is rated 4.79 …
Or ronde’s “Laura’s Vineyard”, a Mature category tale with over 3800 votes, a 4.85 rating which translates into at least 3200 ‘5’s’.
And of course there is, as you noted, the DELETED.
I can only say that I wish you were on the list my dear – yours truly would welcome you with open arms into our august company. Although 14 categories are already represented on our list we are missing both Romance and Fantasy category stories.
I have absolutely no doubt at all that if you set your mind to it that this lack would be quickly filled.
I’m sorry but I’m also going to have to ask you to stop posting on this thread. For some reason as soon as you start posting somewhere the losers start oozing out of the woodwork - I still haven’t quite figured out if it’s you out to garner publicity and sympathy or if you actually do have these wierdos chasing you around. Either way, your presence here simply detracts from the goal of the thread. It also upsets Gabby.
[size=+2]Gabby[/size] will be back Monday at the latest. Unfortunately I couldn’t convince the little minx to either work the weekend or spend it with me.
Thanks, jim

Oh c'mon now, even a neutered kitten ass kisser like you can begin to figure this one out. Upon what basis do you suppose advertisers pay this fucking porn site? Could it be visitors? And why do you suppose visitors visit in the first place? Could it be to read the fucking porn? And what author's porn do you suppose gets the most visitors? (Hint: it's not you)

First may I say...I agree with Cloudy, boo fucking who.scouries said:
Second may I say, I'll quit posting on your wonderful fucked up list when you begin to listen to the authors who don't want to be on your fucked up list and remove their names. Until that time, deal with me and anyone else who wants to post. It's a free forum.
Third, if the people here are those you consider losers and weirdos, may I attract more. These are good people and the only weirdo that I've seen here is the one who wants me to quit posting on his thread, so tell little Miss Gabby personality to grow a set of balls and quit being a baby. You are a racist and a deviant. And any man who spouts the wonders of beastiality needs to get a new hobby.
