red H?

[ericahope]

So this will probably sound like a newbie question but...

There's a red "H" next to one of my stories. What does this mean and how did it get there?

Here you go.

 

[silverwhisper]

it means enough people have voted your story a 5, which means it's now "hot". you have to average a rating of 4.5 or better to maintain it. :>

Congrats. It's a HOT symbol meaning your story averaged a 4.5 or higher with atleast 10 votes cast. Good job.

That definitely sounds like a newbie question, but you have been around more than two years, so you are not a newbie. What it means is that the story has at least ten votes and those votes average 4.50 or higher.

Congratulations.

A red H, you been told about.

A green E is an Editor's choice symbol.

A blue W is a contest winner.

And Zeb has a few of each. Especially those green Es. Sigh.

Thanks to everyone who got back to me on this! Yay...some people actually like my story!

Thank you for noticing.

Now all I need is a blue W.

Of course it would help if I entered a contest!!!

It's kinda like being in the "scouts" and earning merit badges, isn't it?

You don't have to enter contests to win a W. If one of your stories wins a monthly prize or is nominated for an annual prize in a specific category and wins, you can still rate a W

I was in the scouts, never really got into that merit badge stuff. *shrugs*

You're right. Then again I am not a real prolific writer and I don't write in some of the categories that would most likely garner me a win.

I'm always pleased when one of my scribbles bags an H ...it means the readers enjoy what I've written and that's what it's all about isn't it?
