(And with my score barely within sight of 4.5, there probably never will be.)
Hmmphf!
Don't these people know first-rate, spot-on, erotic genius in prose when they see it! Fer cryin' out loud, you'd think the majority of Lit readers were a bunch of unerudite wankers just looking for a strokefest!
Sure, my story is the intro to a yet-to-be-completed story series; and so doesn't have any hot, piston-pounding, something-penetrating-something, in-out-repeat sex in it. And sure, I've chosen a scenario which is extreme from a couple of different viewpoints.
And I fully understand that what with sweeps, and Literotica's "bistromath through a woo-woo filter" score calculation algorithm, and rounding errors, and the effects of sunspots and interplanetary gamma rays; scores are semi-random at best.
(And okay, it could be that my story skims along somewhere near the lower edge of "first-rate", is a few degrees off of "spot on", and is closer to "erotic not-as-dumb-as-I-look-ness" than "erotic genius.")
Not withstanding that I wrote the story for myself and whoever might care to enjoy it; and that I consider Lit's scoring system an amusing exercise, but one not to be taken in any way seriously -
Where's my everlovin' H???!!!
(....and my 'E'? ...and what ever the heck that 'W' thing means, I want one of them, too!)
- Quince, tongue decidely in cheek

PS. As soon as my new edit posts, it'll skyrocket up to the tippity-top of the Toplists, I'm sure. In fact, I think I'll just start holding my breath now [deep breath in, bulging cheeks, silence]...

There are a number of stories that don’t get the H (ten votes and min score of 4.5 I believe) that should - whether the reason be trolls, bad timing in posting or the story just not resonating with readers. The scoring really is a popularity contest, and most people like to be popular – it’s that whole ego stroking thing , and it also can give writers the confidence that they may need to continue and improve.
This is a forum and people bitch about all kinds of things here - whether it be about the lack of writer-type threads, the state of US politics or the fact that Tim Hortons' apple fritters have shrunk over the past few years (remind me to start that thread). Bitching about the lack of an H fits right in. Sometimes there's a good reason that an author doesn't have an H ... sometimes, the reason isn't as clear.
