That depends on the AHer and the story.

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.
What is wrong with all these stupid people??? --- There's no 'H' beside my story!!!
(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]... :) :) :)

LOL...I don't want an E...I have a couple of W's I would gladly let you have...never asked for them...didn't particularily want them....

Which leads me to ask, how does one get rid of the W's beside their stories?

I just learned what an E is for, what's a W for? :confused:
 
Wow. I stand in awe. When I whine about my stories, I tend just be sullen and mutter "bastards" over and over again.

I would love to see a new thread discussing what makes a story leap from erotic "not-as-dumb-as-I-look-ness" to erotic genius. :D

I used to get all ticked off....now, I just don't give a damn...

Wanna tell me what the E is as I'm a bit to tied up with work to look it up right now?

E is for Editor's Pick. The Site Editors (who do the final approval before your story posts) pick stories that they like.

Quick, somebody call a doctor (or anyone who knows how to blow and suck)! Quince is turning blue!

As my mother was quite fond of telling me .... you can hold her breath for as long as you want. Once you passes out from the lack of oxygen, you'll start breathing again.


I never got my way .... :cool:

Kinda like Lit's version of the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval, looks nice, but doesn't mean anything. It's given for what winds the crank of the site operators...

Personally I think this site should award ALL of my stories with an "S" for Sucky :rolleyes:
And the best part would be that you could lie to your RL friends and brag that it meant, "Super!". :D

Just put on a hat made of aluminum foil...it'll keep him from reading your thoughts. :D
Ha! Way ahead of you. I've been wearing a baseball cap lined with aluminum foil for years :D
 
well, since it was mentioned, I do wish I'd get some more people to actually rate my last submission So far it's got a perfect 5, but only 5 people have rated it.

There should be link in my signature if I did that right. ;)
 
Hey Rogue, when you starting that thread about Tim Horton's apple fritters?


Quince, funny thread :)

**snerk**...why does that not surprise me? :rolleyes:
 
Bah! Who needs an "H" to point the reading swill to my pearls? Let the bastards hunt 'em down!

(yes, folks, I was joking - this seems the right place to do that :D )
 
I need an H beside the 11th chapter of We Meet Again. It's the last chapter. The first ten have an H.

Somebody plaese help me. :rolleyes:
 
Quince,

That was a rant and rave for the ages. I stand, or in this case, sit, in awe and admiration. :rose:

If anyone asks, and no one will, just tell 'em the stories/poems w/o an H were too cerebral and literary for the average Lit reader. Works for me. :rolleyes:

Rumple Foreskin :cool:
