Weighted rating

[alohadave]

It doesn’t - I just wanted a list. Then I added a column and looked up / manually transcribed my word counts. All on iOS. Excel on iOS is just a little fiddly.

Em

Gotcha. I thought I was missing something in the list.

I did mine, and somehow my weighted score came out to 5.01. There is something wonky with my sheets.

...that's going to be tough to beat.

 

[MediocreAuthor]

So I did the math as best I could, and apparently my weighted average = "SYNTAX ERROR"

Hmmm. Is that good?
Lmao

My weighted average is 4.60
That's around where I figured (honestly a little higher tbh).

[I forgot to add in my poem, but that's only 14 votes. I'm sure it won't raise it at all]

Btw @EmilyMiller, I request a formal apology from you for making me do math

Take that protest with a grain of salt from the NC queen over here. She clearly consented to doing that arithmetic, even if she was reluctant.

4.6998

Be advised, that's only 600 votes over 10 stories in one series, definitely suffering from diminishing returns

I think that's right
Math, maths, mathematics. None of these constitute my normal activities, but I'm feeling much better now.

What’s my forfeit? I like forfeits.

I must be messing something up. I did Dark and Les and came up with damn near identical figures. Unweighted Dark = 4.767 Weighed Dark = 4.772 Unweighted Les = 4.658 Weighed Les = 4.651

For each story, score times vote total.
Total of above.
Divide by total vote count of all stories.

Right?

I can add up, but otherwise my maths (sorry, I'm a Brit) is lamentable so no idea how to average averages.

I have 60 stories out there and only 4 without a red H, so even with my rudimentary understanding, I assume I must be well above 4.50 with weighting.

And that is despite only having mentioned nipple clamps and weights in about six of them.

Well maybe a few more than six...

That’s a stellar score, I’m sure it must be correct .

Oh I nipple clamps.

RR Unweighted = 4.671 Weighed = 4.700 Overall Unweighted = 4.705 Weighed = 4.671

Running on my second day of 3 hours of sleep per, so...

Corrected. 4.45 weighted.

I missed a week or two back in January on several stories, thankfully I keep raw data just for this condition.

I have tried very hard to be among the "enlightened ones", and have perhaps claimed to be such in other threads, but in truth, I am not. I've been an artist in other mediums and have always been very vain concerning my work. My wife likes to make fun of it. It really is the only thing about myself that I am vain about, and my writing has sadly followed suit. I call it a character flaw.

Now that the soul-baring is done, I have posted 14 stories to date. 176k words. 4.687 weighted average. I'm no math whiz, but I'm guessing this allows for the stories with the most views to sort of count for more than the stories with fewer, yes?

The ones with the most votes, which should be correlated to most views.

Mine's 4.60, over 118 stories/chapters, over nine years.

I'm spot on Pareto: 80% of my stories are Red H.

My latest hit the ground running - currently #1 on the Mature 7 Day Top List and #2 in the 30 day list, after only three days. Comments running at 1:1000, which is my benchmark. Gotta be happy with that.

I don't care what anyone says, a Red H pulls in the readers.

You make me seem like a cool kid, hun .

Does that mean I get tarred and feathered? Not sure that’s my kink to be honest.
Em

Emily, you are hereby sentenced to be either tarred or feathered, your choice. Feeling better about it now?

Around here, we use hot candle wax and feathered ticklers. With consent of course.

Tried wax once, didn’t like it. But feathers ?

[djrip]

My 20 came out to 4.58 weighted, and a nice even 4.5 unweighted.

 

[mirafrida]

Can we start a new thread for people who don't average "hot" ?

Feel free - just meant to be fun .
