What do those stars mean beside a story? Who gives them and who decides how many you get? What does the number in parentheses mean?

The stars are a rating system.

Anybody who is a member of the site can rate a story (but as far as I know, you can only rate it once.) How good your story is, and how generous people are with thier ratings dictate how many stars you get.

Thats the number of times your story has been rated by a reader.


Hope that helps! Ta!

Thanks, BittenBuggy. Very well put.

Another wee trick, if you hold your mouse over and are viewing the graphical text (not a default in Nescape, but is in other browsers), you can see the actual average too. But not worth getting hung up about.
