I have a new story up and it has 11 votes?

Hi All
It has 11 votes. It's been read 106 times.
How long does it take before it gets on the votes search list?
Thanks

You should be on the top list already... you lucky dog!

Thanks, but its not coming up on the list.

Edit: it has 14 votes now and still not showing up.

It might take 24 hours for it to show up -- I'm not sure if the top slists update in real time (everytime they're requested) or if they're regenerated once a day. I think it's the latter.

A new story of mine just went up, it has two votes, and both are 1's as that is the average. So no matter what anybody else honestly votes for the story, it will never make it to the top ten in the voting catagory. Now normally I would have waited until morning to see if any of my stories had been published here, but this time I was online anyway at 3am in the morning so I checked. And what do ya know Bed-n-Brunch Ho was posted, and it had 1 view, and 2 votes, averaging 1.00 for the vote count, how nice. Now I could do the same thing to every new story published here too, but I won't. You see, even with these childish attacks, my stories always average out above 4.30 by those who really read them. So I'm terribly sorry if I'm not a part of the clique in here, but I'll let my stories talk for me about how well I can write.

I wouldn't worry too much about two 1 votes, yet.
My story was rated 4.86 after 21 votes, then went to 4.73 at 26 votes.
After you get more votes, the high ones should sort of cancel out the low ones.
