There are several ways by which stories are ranked or rated on Lush. The ones that have been read the most times now have little “Famous” and “Legendary” badges. The ones that the Moderators like have “Recommended Read” or “Editor’s Choice” awards. But as far as I can tell there’s no easy way to tell which ones have been “favourited” by the most readers – surely a significant indicator of quality as well as popularity. I decided to have a look at mine, and work it out.

My most favourited story, by quite a long way, is “Schoolgirl Dares With Sarah”, with 70 people adding it to their profile as a “favourite story”. It’s also my second-most-read, with 119,850 hits.

In second place, with 57 “favourites”, is my most-read story, “Exposing Myself”. It’s had 149,924 hits, but clearly doesn’t hit that special spot quite as often!

Those two are both well ahead of the field, with the next two on 24 and 21 “favourites”;
“Two Teen Lesbian Virgins and a Vibrator” (94,802 hits) and
“My Sex-Packed Holiday Chapter 1” (35,644 hits).

It’s also interesting that none of these “Top 4” have been given “RR” or “EC” awards, though the two immediately below them do (with 17 favourites each);
“The Offering” (EC), and
“Taking Penny Home” (RR).

After that, there’s a few more in the teens and lots with single-figure likes.

But I’m sure 70 isn’t anything like the record. Please have a look and share the stories that most of your readers have added to their favourites. What is your most-favourited?
And (of course) there were a few at the bottom of the heap that no-one has “favourited” so far. Some of these I’m content to leave in obscurity, but a couple of them deserve some love, in my opinion. I’m going to highlight just four, in case anyone wants to go and have a look. The first three are funny poems; the last is an epic, sexy, steampunk adventure.

The first chapter of my current series, How Far Do We Go?, about a long-married, strong and loving couple, exploring cuckolding and beyond, has been fav’d by twenty-three readers. It recently passed 100,000 words written and is now awaiting chapter 16.

No Annie, I suspect you’ve got a healthy number there.

The most favorited story for me is Kathy and Surprises (Part One) with fourteen people selecting it. It has over 25,000 views. Certainly nothing like the record of others on the site.

I've been lucky enough to have 258 of my stories made favorites.

Maybe a stupid question and I'm overlooking something obvious and in plain sight. How do you know how many people have added one of your stories to their favorite list? I'd really like to know!

Next to your Favorite Stories header (on the left side of your profile page) you'll see 'Meagananne1986's Story Followers'. Click that and you'll find who's added your stories to their Favorites.

Edit: Oh my... just took a peek. You'll like what you see!

"Boned" with 45 and 176,437 hits at the moment. My one and only Legendary. RR and been at the top of the Milf popular tab for quite a while. You never know what's going to fly. That story is amidst my top tier everywhere it's posted, and I dashed the story off in less than 24 hours from concept ( the wordplay title and tagline, which is where a lot of my stuff starts ) to first draft, if I remember correctly.

Nothing else even comes close. I don't get all that many favorite listings.

It was a story that took me a long time to get up the nerve to write and post online as it has to do with lustful fantasies for my wife's younger sister; was worried what would happen if certain people found it. Surprisingly over the nearly two years since I posted it, it's become my most popular story. The theme must strike a chord with a lot of readers (and maybe there was some good authoring involved too).

Well, my numbers are small by comparison, but size isn't important, right?

I have 16 faves for Strangers, the first good erotic story I ever wrote, and my only famous story.

12 faves for Beneath, linked in the sig line and 500 views away from being famous.

My numbers are kind of low but I have two stories tied at 9 each. They are. A Valentine's Gift and Hush Little One. None of these are any of the 3 RRs I have or my one EP.

Where do you even find that information? I've looked at my list and my profile, etc, and haven't found anywhere that shows how many times anything has been favorited.

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

Next to the title Your favourite stories is another clackable title, "Stormdog's story followers". Click on that, it's impressive.
Personally, I don't have huge numbers of followers on my stories but I'm very grateful for the ones I've got

Thanks to both of you, I didn't realize that story followers = favorite picks. Never thought about what it did mean, I guess. And wow, Sprite, 58, very nice - that's oddly exactly double my most favorited one, Glamour Shots, Chapter 1, at 29 times.

Mine is Jailbait.
It has 95 who have added it to their favorites and over 330,000 views.
https://www.lushstories.com/stories/taboo/-jailbait-.aspx


95 is definitely amazing. And 330,000 hits too.
But with a title like that, how could it not be popular ?

I have Postgame Show at 9, then Frustration and Relief and April's Secret each with 6. Frustration and Relief is also my most viewed story and was my first famous story. April's Secret was, IIRC, my second Famous Story and is my second most viewed story. Postgame Show still has 6000 and change views to go for a famous badge.

Strangely, Snow Plowed, my third most viewed story (and third Famous Story), has no favorites.

Very true. And usually I’m not good at picking titles. I’ve got 203 votes and a score of 5 at the moment.

My most favourited title is ‘My First Time’ with 155 people adding it to their favourites list.

https://www.lushstories.com/stories/lesbian/my-first-time-2.aspx


This deserves all its success. It's great. And I think 155 favourites will be hard to beat.

It's fun looking at these statistics. As I stated before I have 258 of my stories placed in people's favorite lists. That is out of 535 total stories here on Lush. Getting close to half of my pieces have been favorited. That's fun.

It would be even more fun if one or two were really popular like some of the folks posting here. But it's all just part of the enjoyment here on our site.

Edit: I just counted and I see I have a total of 555 actual times someone favorited a story.

I've got at least one favorite on 156/192 submissions. ( Some of which are chapters of longer works )

The closest runner up to "Boned" is "Double Dip" with 25, and it's my only EP to earn that accolade without being the runner-up in a contest. It drops another third to around 14 for the next couple, and then halves for the next couple, followed by 1-5 on everything else.

To be precise, out of my 111 online stories, 101 have been favourited at least once. In total, I've got 712 faves.

You're all very kind

I love you all!
