Find out how many people favorite an author

I thought there was a way though google, but it is not always accurate.

Right now the only people who know are the ones on the top 250 list.

Otherwise you would have to try to keep very close track of your weekly or monthly activity and that's a major PIA.

It has been requested as a feature many times, but has not gotten any real attention beyond that.

 

[Darkniciad]

Nope.

There's no way to extrapolate it from Google results either. I experimented with that rather extensively a couple of years back, and there's not any formula you can apply to the results from Google vs. the real numbers from the top 250 ( that are a known quantity ) that provides anything even remotely resembling accuracy.

About the best you can do is find some you may have missed via Google search.

"authors that this member enjoys" YourPenName

The quotes are important.

That will turn up story favorites as well as author favorites, but they're easily recognized in the summary presented by Google in the results.

As for that list ever since lit made it so people can store unlimited favorites its a lot harder to get on it.

When I hit it a couple of years back I was number 250 with less than 400 favs.

Now the #250 spot is 732 so it can take an author awhile to hit that especially if they write in lesser viewed categories.

No surprise many in the top part of the list either write almost all incest or have a bunch of them.

Are you saying there are only 732 authors on here?

I think he's saying that one author has 732 people who favorited him or her.

 

[RejectReality]

732 favorites. That's what's required to hit the list at the #250 most favorited author as of today.

 

[lovecraft68]

No, what was saying is that you have to be on at least 732 favorites pages to hit the top 250 author list.

I would like to know how many authors are on here and out of that number how many are "active". Active meaning maybe a story in the last year or so.

I'm on the top 250 list, but I wouldn't know it without this list (I'd seen it a few times before). It's not like anyone from Lit contacts you and says "congratulations, you're on the list, what prize do you want......"

You gotta write a lot of stories to hit this list, obviously, and what real purpose does it have, other than the pride of knowing that readers enjoy your stories.....

It would be impossible for me to ever get on there.
-I'm even debating wether to publish again.
-Time is impossible.
-I've herd great things about your stories though. Those that I've read were well edited, very creative and keenly thought out.

Number of stories really doesn't mean anything there.

There is an author on there with around 1100 favs. They are off of one damn story. One. The all time highest incest story here. Then he vanished. A one hit wonder, but it was a hit.

There are many authors on there with less than a hundred stories. Always wantedtoo has about 90, but all but a couple are mother/son hence how far up he is.

Another author is in the to 25 on one series that should be put out to pasture, but its orgy incest and that series has him well over 2500 favs.

Paco fear is way up there and has only 30 stories.

On the other hand some people have hundreds and don't make it or are not hat high on the list.

 

[lovecraft68]

This is another cool list.

Top 250 most favorited stories.

Funny when you look at this list. Just like the authors list I think its a mix of quality and popularity. 11 of the first 13 are incest.

Before the categories were established there was an alphabetical list of all authors on the Story Page menu and they were numbered. At that time there were over50,000 Literotica authors listed. There probably are apprciably more now.

I wrote a cousin incest and hinted at bro sis, but mother son, NO! It does not tickle my pickle.
Was the 1100 fav story a mother son. What is the name?

Not really. I'm on it with only 45 stories in five years, and only three of them are incest.

As to the purpose, I did notice at least a little bit of increased readership when I hit the list, and I should imagine that increases the higher you rise ( I'm only at about 212 right now )

It's actually what prompted me to go look. I had an odd flurry of activity during a long drought between stories. Blinked around to the various pages I thought could have caused it, and noticed I'd made the list.

The story is called Threads the Island and its brother with sisters. It is also 40 pages long. Defeating the theory that length will hurt a story.

Damn! "Bound" is still in the top 35.

Most likely.

Would like to know how many are "active" but doubt there is a way to measure that.

I know! Oh, poor you!

You'd be a fair way up if you weren't spread out under three names.

Not bad for a BDSM Valentines Day story.

Not bad for any story.

At first that number seemed pretty high, but according to this WayBackMachine screen shot from Jan. 15, 2007...there were 30,176 published authors as of then.

Amazing how many blow their entire loads in just one or two stories.

But I prefer them to the ones that continue on and on and on when they've obviously shot their load.

There is a way to see how many people have favorited an author. Each member's favorite list is viewable if you want to go through tens of thousands of fave lists. I'm not that curious...lol.
