Can we see everyone who has favorited us?

[dan_kildall]

I know that we are able to see which users have set us as a favorite author or one of our stories as a favorite story over the last 24 hours or 7 days or 30 days at this link:

https://www.literotica.com/members/recent_activity.php

Is there a way to view a list of all users that currently have us set as a favorite author?

Also, is there a way to view a list of all users that have one of our stories set as a favorite?

I have seen no way to do this on the site, so I am assuming that it is not possible. If that is truly the case, is it a feature that could be added?

If this forum is not the appropriate place to post this type of question, I apologize and request to be told where the correct place to ask this would be.

Thanks.

Not that I know of, no.

I think there's a way to do this through google, but its pretty tedious.

Reject Reality was the one who posted it before, maybe he'll pop in and explain it.

Oh cool, would love to see a solution using Google. Hopefully they will add a comment. Thanks.

You can see everyone who fav's a story, but not everyone who had fav'ed every story.

How (and where) can you see this?

I know that you can go to the final page of a story and hover your mouse pointer over the text at the bottom that says "and xxx other people favorited this story!", but it only shows a partial list if the number of users exceeds a certain number.

If you go to the last page of your story, at the bottom under the stars there is a red heart and a couple names of who faved your story. If you hover over that heart it tells you the names.

Right, but if the number of people that have favorited it is large, it gets cut off and ends in an ellipsis.

Thanks.

Yeah I just noticed that on the one I tried it on. Its on 175 fav pages

To see everyone who favorited a particular story, go to the final page of it.

Once it's loaded, you want to "view source" which is most likely accessed through right-clicking in your browser.

( If you use a phone or app to access Lit, I haven't the foggiest clue of how you might see this )

Once the source code has loaded, scroll down to the section where the favorites are listed, and in addition to the ones displayed on the page, and the ones that are loaded when you hover over the link, you'll see the ID of every member who has favorited the story.

Search the source code for the word "favorited" to easily jump down to the section where the names are.

The information is there, but there's no user-friendly button or link to access it.

As to finding author favorites, you can find some you may have missed via google. Try this search: Keep in mind, you need the quote marks and the site limiter at the end, as typed.

"authors that this member enjoys" YOURPENNAME site:literotica.com

This will also display story favorites, but you'll quickly learn to distinguish between how those are displayed in google, and be able to pick out the author favorites without clicking every link.

Pages and pages of information...At least I know now.

I'm pretty new to this -- I only joined a couple of days ago -- so I'm probably talking rubbish.

I've found that if I go to my control panel then click the "submissions" link then "recent activity" I get a list of members who have added my story to their favourites list.

Yes, but that ages out in thirty days. You could keep a separate chart on that if you like, but you'd have to do your recording within thirty days.

Ah, I see. Thanks for the heads-up. Like I said, I'm new to Lit -- but I'm a quick learner.

I know its hard to believe now, but eventually this obsession passes as far as the daily traffic always being exciting. I've found I don't even read all the comments I get anymore.

Keep in mind that there is no way to bookmark stories within Lit, so many readers (me included) favorite a story or author intending to read the story or browse the author later. Once read, the story is dismissed as "Unfavorited". A cruel little joke on statistics-obsessed authors.

LC has it right. After awhile, it is less exciting to follow these things. However, the excitement of seeing a new work published for the first time never seems to fade away, though it is less intense with time. Occasionally, looking for something in my library, I run across the magazine issue I was first published in nearly 50 years ago. My heart rate increases slightly every time. I have to pull it out and flip to the article to see my name before I put it back on the shelf.

I was helping some people with getting an estate sale ready last summer when they showed me a musty thirty-year collection of Reader's Digests in the basement. They asked if they should even bother with them or just toss them in the trash.

My response was, "It depends on what all is here. Let me check the 1989 copies first." Sure enough, the June issue was there. I checked to make sure it was complete and then handed them a couple of dollars for it before saying, "Now as far as the rest, you can try to sell them for 10¢ each or a dollar for each year, but you'll probably end up tossing 95% of them."

"But why did you pay for that one copy?" they asked.

I flipped it open to the correct page and showed it to them. With a grin on my face I explained, "Because that was my first paid writing gig and it's worth a couple bucks to me to have an extra copy."

Just like with sex, you never quite get over the thrill of that first time.

And just like sex the first time may always mean something, but the piece itself forgettable

Only when you get old, dawg. Only when you're old.

My first published piece was a novel electronic circuit using a cutting edge semiconductor I had to beg Fairchild for because they didn't believe it was for an automotive design. Not much in the way of electronics in cars in 1967.

I couldn't duplicate that circuit today as the part has been obsolete for several decades now. At least with erotica, the parts don't go obsolete. they get worn and damaged, but they are still recognizable and readily available.

My first published piece was on the aid in the Vietnam War that the Communist Party of Thailand was giving to the Viet Cong with the collusion of Prince Norodom Sihanouk of Cambodia.

The first thing I had published was a horrible Lovecraft style piece for a now defunct micro publisher out of RI that did a quarterly magazine on pulp style horror.

I've had a few articles published in a DC comics fanzine and was once in an edition of the overstreet price guide, a 1000 word marketing report on east coast sales of golden/silver age comics. All stats pretty much.
