I am just using the examples that Sack did and I may be wrong about what I said.
When I actually looked at the top stories in one category, they did follow what he described although it may have been a coincidence. I believe that it would be most reasonable to carry out the averages to more than two decimal places to determine highest scores, rather than going by vote total.dreampilot79

You won't find me talkin about anyone's score but my own... unless someone else tells me about one anyway...
The only way to find someone else's score is to look it up in the top lists.... if it shows. There are a few things about that though.... each top list shows the top 500 stories ever submitted in that category. If you look in romance... the top list ends with a score of 4.81 while some of the other categories might end at a score of 4.61.
That means that a romance story with a score of 4.80 wouldn't even show up and could well be a high enough score to at least place.
In looking through 500 lines of data, I don't know about you... but I tend to slip off now and then... and could easily miss a story.
Finally, these are raw scores. Sure they get swept, but not with the vigor of the final sweep. It is not unusual to discover quite different scores after that sweep!
My experience is that it isn't worth the effort!

I understand. I know about the top lists. I just thought there might be a repository somewhere a little less cumbersome. The voting etc, for me this time is very low and slow. Maybe it's the holidays and maybe just the frquency since Halloween. This is not unlike my reg stuff in N&N which is always low and slow. Fun anyway.

Oh, I am. I've got this perpetual grin on my face, like the Joker on steroids.
I'm not the only one who's proud. My boyfriend made fun of the whole idea of making an erotic "Christmas Carol" for Lit, which inspired my sig. But now he checks the score every morning!

What's really strange... all my other old stories are picking up votes... while my contest story only attracts 1 bombs....
Funny... I had a bunch of stories stuck and languishing at 4.48 to 4.49... and three of em just passed the 4.5.

Twlight Zone stuff at work, for sure... I wish we could think of a way to lure readers to the contest story page for all of us. I have an idea, but it's dependent on Ogg (will PM shortly). For now, I'm just forcing myself to stop checking on my stagnant unswept statsdreampilot79 said:

EL,
You might send the story to me, then I'll send it to DP, or vice versa. He's better than me with content, did a lot to beef up the "story" side of my "stroke story" entry, while I don't mind doing the prissy grammar stuff.
