I'd make sure the cursor is sitting immediately after the final bit of punctuation at the end of the story when you hit submit as well. If the screens are registering different word counts, you never know what could be triggering it.

Beyond that, any words you can merge into contractions? Maybe somewhere you can take advantage of the way the editor counts correctly used em dashes that connect two words without spaces as though they were a hyphenated word, giving you a freebie? ( You're only trying to eliminate a discrepancy between the word count of the two pages, so it's not really cheating )

As a challenge to writers, stories must be exactly 100 words (using our text editor's word count). They must be submitted to the Microfiction category.

Quote by naughtyannie


Perhaps you'd better read it first...

Anyway, it's submitted.

My favorite stories squeeze "Fuck"into the title as often as they can.

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.
