Hey, unfortunately right now the only favorite list on lit contains just the top 250 authors
http://www.literotica.com/stories/favauthorsv2.php
It has been lobbied for several times to be able to know how many favs you are on as it should be possible. If you look at the bottom of your story it can tell you how many times that story has been faved so it shouldn't be that difficult.
But I wouldn't hold my breath as the site will ask for suggestions then turn around and make changes no one has asked for (see the oft asked "why is there no bi-sexual category threads)
Right now the best you can do is go to your page and click the 30 day activity list and try to keep track like that. But that is not so easy plus you've been here awhile so you can only start from right now.
Sorry I don't have a better answer.

Contact Darkinclad. He knows a way to find out, but I can't remember.

This won't tell you how many you have, but it will at least let you see some you may have missed on "recent activity".
Type the following line into a google search:
Darkniciad "authors that this member enjoys" site:literotica.com
Obviously, replace my name with yours. This will show any members who have favorited you or a story, which google has crawled. You should be able to tell the difference between an author favorite and a story favorite in short order just by looking at the summary of each hit.
The more your name is "out there" and the more the member's name is "out there" the more likely it is that google will have crawled it, so you can't really compare between two different authors this way, and you can easily see by googling people on the top 250 that it doesn't even come close to getting them all.
Experiments with checking the top 250 list vs. google results shows no formula that is reliable to calculate a number based upon the google results. There's simply too much variance. A member who posts a lot on the forum or has a lot more stories than another may have a higher hit count than their favorite count would really indicate.
Enjoy

FWIW - I don't know if it extends to that list, but I do know the "top 250 lesbian stories" list is bugged. Pages 2-5 seem to be updating OK, but page 1 hasn't updated since I started checking it.

Always a wealth of information. Thanks for this tip. It only tracked 250 of mine, and some were individual stories, others Author pages. Between both the Authors and the individual stories, it should be around 5-6K, so yes, it only gets the tip of the iceberg.
