The verdict is in

Unless @StillStunned becomes a mass murderer.

I'm no mathematician, but I think that assessment describes a rating closer to 4. Yours got bumped closer to 5 because of all the 5 star ratings you got. That means not everyone got terribly excited about them, but a number of people did. I would say that's about as good as anyone can ask for - you're never going to blow everyone away.

Nope. I'm perfectly fine with I/me. You should try it.

That's what I did. I assert it. The I/me rejected your "we" assertion.

 

[ShelbyDawn57]

That's what I did. I assert it. The I/me rejected your "we" assertion.

Well, as far as this "I/me" is concerned, you are more than welcome to exclude yourself from any "we" involving me.

To all data obsessives, let's just start murmuring in a low voice, like Imhotep's followers in The Mummy.

Mean, median, mode...

Yep, that's what I did.

 

[AlinaX]

Is self-exclusion some kind of kinky foreplay?

Unless @StillStunned becomes a mass murderer.

That's one way to get my ratings up...

Nearly a quarter of all my stories (7 out of 29) have a score of 4.55 or 4.56. It can't be a coincidence that, of all the possible scores, these two make up such a large proportion. They must be indicative of my overall performance.

So it's clear. People like my stories, but they don't get terribly excited about them. I suppose I can live with that.

Challenge yourself - down load your CSV at regular intervals (click on the highlighted icon)

Put the file you download in an excel or Google whatever workbook and average the score. Here's how the ratings work
4.50 to 4.55 - they like you
4.56 to 4.60 - they really like you
4.61 to 4.65 - they really, really like you
4.66 to 4.70 - they love you
4.71 to 4.75 - they really love you
4.76 to 4.79 - they really, really love you
4.80 and up - TROLL BAIT!! (reset to 4.6 and start again.)

4.80 and up - TROLL BAIT!! (reset to 4.6 and start again.)

4.7-4.75 is my favourite place to be.

And no, this isn't an invitation for people to try and lower any of my scores that are higher than that.

My personal breakpoint is 4.3. Higher than that and it is well received. Lower and it has some issues that cause the lower score. Works pretty well for me.

 

[MillieDynamite]

I don't sweat scores, so I don't watch them that closely most of the time. This all sounds really obsessive to me.

It's mostly because there is so little else to watch, and useful information has to be read from the tea leaves and chicken bones.

Yes it is obsessive! given the choice between American TV and a spreadsheet that doesn't actually do anything, I'll take the spreadsheet.

I'm right there with you. It gets easier to live with it, every submission.

 

[MelissaBaby]

4.80 and up - TROLL BAIT!! (reset to 4.6 and start again.)

I will NOT!

 

[Duleigh]

I will NOT!

I got my overall average slapped down two ticks and my "Fan Club" is still showing their love.
