I believe that most writers on Literotica are in it for their own satisfaction and don't worry too much about the scores that their stories receive from readers. (With an exception for contest entries)
However, for those of you who do care about the scores that readers dole out:
1. Is your choice of category influenced by it? (Fans of certain categories are notorious for being more critical, so do you try to avoid those, for example, posting in 'Romance' or 'Erotic Couplings' instead of 'Loving Wives')
2. Does your quest for a higher score influence your story's length, either the number of words or the number of parts it gets broken into when posting?
3. Is your choice of editors influenced by how they have affected the scores of other stories?
4. How much do you feel that reader comments influence the votes of other readers and do you moderate comments to mitigate the influence of negative feedback?
