What if authors could be "Hot"?

All I do is overthink jokes. But it's a hell of a plot bunny.

Some author really wants to be on every single month and then creates a whole bunch of profiles, becomes the most prolific writer on the site, universally loved and adored, but doesn't quite want people to think he's the only person so has to come up with disguises to make sure nobody realizes it's just a calendar with him on it...

Yeah, the logic isn't there, but, you know, PBP says free-use bunbun if anyone wants it.

I'm thinking some kind of crazy Mrs. Doubtfire style costume changes during the photoshoot.

Ooh! Maybe the hottest authors on Lit can do a sexy calendar. I have my bikini around here somewhere... Polka dots or stripes...

What do you mean I wasn't invited to do the calendar? The audacity! Invent a new month and stick me on it!

I like this idea! I'd do it. Here, let me give you a preview...

A Hall of Fame from the powers that be would be cool, but it would require them to do other kinds of general awards. Up and coming, to recognize newer authors. Maybe a best submission per category every year? It's an interesting idea, but it would require there to be more than just Laurel and Manu on the Lit pantheon. And there would be a thousand new questions about how those awards are given out...

Like someone said, bring back the monthly awards.

Once upon a time, an award (not a cash prize) and a blue W was given to the highest scoring story in each category. The three highest scoring over all, won a cash prize. This ensured that more people had a shot at a W, and because every story published in that month had to be swept, it cut down the amount of effective one bombing.

Sometime after the end of the year, the top five monthly winners in each category were nominees for best of the year, and the winners chosen in a poll.

At the same time, another group of categories like "Sexist Male/Female/Trans character, Most Literary Story, Most Influential Writer, etc. were held. In those contest, reader/authors would nominate candidates, and the top five nominees would compete for the prize.

Oh, and bringing back the monthlies would bring back the popularity of one of the all time never ending Lit debates- the unfairness of standalone stories having to compete against series chapters

I, for one, long for the day when we can stop arguing about how broken the all-time Hall of Fame story lists are and start arguing about how broken the all-time hottest author lists are.

*Sigh*

Everyone, start putting your OnlyFans profiles on the support field now.

I'll bite. Do you have the head? Not necessarily the horse mask meme type of head, but the head...

I just don't want to say fursuit.

anthrodisiac said:
Is there really only one woman on Lit worthy of being on this calendar, just in different outfits and wigs? What about...

Oooooo, December!

I've been experimenting with lights lately. I don't have the schoolgirl outfit, but I do look mean on a tomboy suit and tie type of way to evoke the tomboy teacher who still has a girly streak. Does that count?

My wife says I'm pretty hot. She's a little biased though. ;)

I have the head. It's in my fridge. I'll wait until early tomorrow morning to smuggle it...

Oh, you mean a mask? Yeah, I've got one of those too.

Absolutely, you can wear whatever you want! I'll be wearing scars, a smile, and the joy that someone invented a month because I wasn't good enough to be part of the regular calendar schedule, but they decided to humor me because they're really into that mauled-by-polar-bear body type.

Goodhart's Law, "Any observed statistical regularity will tend to collapse once pressure is placed upon it for control purposes."

When a metric becomes a target, it ceases to be a useful metric.

But also, cute is better than hot 🥰

Goodhart's Law ought to be a mandatory part of high school mathematics. I'm not even joking.

So in order for a story to be considered "Hot" it needs at least ten votes with a score of 4.5 or higher.

What if authors could be "Hot"? Like, maybe if an Author has written at least ten stories, and has an overall score (all votes tallied into one number) of 4.5 or higher, they could be considered "Hot"?

...I thought I was already hot? :(

But in all seriousness, an expanded popular authors section would be cool. Active authors, etc... I've read a few series and got to the end thinking "I hope they'll write another chapter. Wait. 2012. Probably not."

One of my absolute FAVORITE stories on here IMPLIED a follow-up that I know will never come, because they wrote the story over a decade ago and haven't written anything since.
 
Hell to the mother-fucking no.

The last thing we need is another shiny bauble that's subject to score trolling, and doesn't provide an avenue for an expansion of exposure for anyone. As described, all it would do is put another bit of bling on the profile of people who already have the advantage/vulnerability of the abominable red Hs.

Those at least aren't subject to trolling. Technically they are subject to cheerleading, but practically, you'd have to create a new sock-puppet account for every time you wanted to bump yourself or your darling. It's a lot of effort for a 1 and done operation. ( I suppose 2, since you could favorite every story as well as the author to bump on both lists ) It's a fraudulent effort that is easily overwhelmed by the general readership as well. You could spend a week making sock-puppet accounts to put yourself up over the next person on the list, and they could release a Mom/Son story that would put them 100 ahead of you overnight.
 
This thread would be much better if it was a poll. More like how the AH used to be. You know, Unashamedly Stupid.
