OK, this is probably a stupid question, but someone has to ask them. How does a story get the red H status? Is it by readers voting or does someone at Lit decide? Or what? I have just submitted my first story and I just know everyone will want to read it (Ha!).
 
The story has ten or more votes and a rating of 4.5 or higher.

IF you reach 10 votes with a perfect rating of 5.0, that won't last more than a couple of hours because a troll will vote it down. Take a copy of the screen before the trolls attack.

Now that is depressing. Not the part about the votes, that is as it should be. I guess I am a little naive to think that peole are better in fantasy land than they are in real life.

Thanks for the info.

It's all a vast right wing conspiracy

Ahh. Naievity (sp?)...

Those were the days...

But there's a reason why it's red. Here in Lit. "H" is the Scarlet Letter. Get caught with it, and you're marked.

But an E or a
W are the real troll magnets.

Hi Ogg - I don't mind being identified as an idiot - seeing as I only have numbers, and no letters :D. So I will bite - how does one get an "E" or a "W" - just out of curiosity....


and if anyone else can tell me, how do some stories get hundreds and even thousands of votes? Do people advertise or something?

Inquiring minds want to know...

The E is editors choice and the w is for a contest or monthly or yearly win.

As for the thousands of votes, you got me. Hundreds take time, thousands usually need a lot of time or some mechanical help. ;):D

Hmmm, well darlin' I have to be honest, I am no stranger to mechanical help :D, but if that made for thousands of votes, well,.....

Seriously though, thanks for the enlightenment. It would be nice if there were a way to search stories based on "show me the E stories" since that sounds like a good indicator.
