Newbie here and I have posted eight stories. Unfortunately, the first few were written for a girlfriend and not rewritten for posting here and resulted in some poor comments. I was sure not to repeat the same mistakes and the latter stories received lots of positive feedback. This is a hard crowd to please!
I have some questions regarding some of the stats on the "View Submissions" page. How is the rating calculated and what is a good rating? My stories range from 3.45 to 4.54.
I posted stories in several different categories and found that the number of views range widely from category to category. Am I to assume that the number views is not an indicator of how much a story is liked?
Someone un-favorited my story. What is this, why was it done and how does it affect my ratings?
Lastly, I'm always looking to improve and wonder what's the best way to get feedback? Most readers just posted brief comments and it would be nice if someone were to point out the strong parts (to be repeated in later submissions) and identified weak parts (to be improved upon in later submissions). I requested assistance from three of four editors, but only one got back to me. I sent him the story a couple of days and haven't heard back.
Thanks,
