Publishing stories on Literotica, I get paid in reader views. Other than getting off, a bit, as I write, that's the reward. So, we have 9009 of you guys and gals "viewing" poor, shrinking Peter's hopelessly swelling pecker. Of those 9009, 33 rated the story. That is one-third of one percent. They generously gave an average rating of 4.36.
A few more ratings of 5.0 and the story is stamped by Literotica "Hot." And so lots more readers find it, I get my 'thank you' for writing, my imagination is stimulated along with other things, and readers get more stories.
Now, EVERY time I bring this up, selfishly asking for help in getting more readers, I am attacked by a few people who rate my story a "1." These are my beloved BDSM readers, who cannot find any live victims and therefore must get off on sadistic story ratings on Literotica--a very attenuated variety of sexual fetish.
But the 99.66 percent of readers who have not rated the story, as yet, can ride to my rescue with their ratings and beat these meanies.
