Neither list means anything. They have both been manipulated and gamed for the last six or seven years. How about an author who hasn't posted a story in six years but is still in the top ten. He stays exactly 40-50 favorites above the guy below him who posts regularly.
The top 250 favorite stories used to be a mix of stories across the board. Now it is a list of incest stories. Totally meaningless.
I went and looked earlier today when this came up, and I have to agree with TxRad here. The most favored stories seem, by default, to also be the ones who happen to reside in the most populated category. The ones I checked which were not I/T did appear to be longer stories (5 to 25 screens). Sci Fi had some longer entries which seems more typical of the category. A couple of exceptions were two Gay Male stories at 1 screen each. (I'm wondering if this tells more about the intended use of the story than the literary appreciation though )
