Do your better stories all have more reviews?  Cause the more reviews, the more chances for the stars to be lowered.  Broken and BMS have way more reviews than my other stories, and they're both at 4 1/2.  My other stories all have 5, but far less reviews.  And I know Broken and BMS are a lot better written than them.

I get only about 20 some reviews typically and my stars are always lowered... so I can't imagine how low the stars would be if I had more reviews... lol

I don't think any of my really long stories have ever managed to keep 5 stars - even some of my shorter ones haven't been able too. But I cherish the ones that have been able to keep all 5 - lol.

Most of mine have 4 and a half. Some of my short stories are at five and one or two of the long ones that I transferred over from the old forum but yeah, when I have five that never lasts for long. lol I think my biggest accomplishment was keeping the five stars for Protect and Serve all the way through (Whispers...I guess she doesn't like AUs hehe)

Lmao! I think you [Mare] & Honey were too of the people whose stars got lowered & I got mad - haha. And I think Anastasia & Shrinknigviole t's fics did too. I hate it when REALLY good fics get their stars lowered, when they don't deserve less than 5! But, maybe I'm too wrapped up in fics? Nah. Can't be me that's wrong - nope, nope.  :P Lol.

Aww thanks Lenni! And what sucks is for me I can see who does it. Well sometimes it sucks but sometimes it doesn't (because like I say all the time it's always the same person) I guess. Still annoying and still i'm mad at myself for caring lol
