Fanfiction masochist. :B She/they https://ko-fi.com/presentperfect
Do you people seriously have nothing better to do? D: I wasn't kidding when I said this is one of the worst stories I've ever written. It's barely more than an idea! I wrote it in a day! I had to pump Seattle's Angels for punchline ideas!
Well anyway, if you liked Jugemu, you'll probably like my other random comedies, especially

Thank god it's gone now :V
Why: Because you have over 250 followers, and for no other particular reason, really.
Feature box ends up working as an amplification spiral, wherein whenever you get over a few hundred reads in quick succession, it suddenly skims it off the simmering top and spills it onto the champagne tower. Then it starts trickling back down as newer stories eventually kick it out of the top spot.
For an already published long term ongoing story, the threshold currently seems to be about 250 tracking readers -- then it starts getting featured on every update for a couple hours. Only a fraction of these 250 will read it in the first few hours after update and contribute to the heat ranking, so time also matters. For stories from a widely followed author, the threshold is probably higher, but you have well over a thousand followers, so of course you beat it without even trying. :)
That's not to say whether it should or shouldn't be in the feature box, just stating a fact here. Feature box mechanics are kind of silly.

I can't deny that, but it also doesn't seem to work very consistently. I mean, I hit 1000 followers last year, but prior to A Most Irregular Tea Party, we have to go back to August of last year and I Taco You, Valentine! to find the last time I was featured (with something other than an ongoing story, anyway; also I had no idea that story was featured until right now c.c). I mean, I wrote Flurry Heart Goes to Magic Kindergarten expressly to be feature bait. I just don't get it. :B

It's a bunch of factors, and as far as I can tell they all revolve around timing, story description and story length.
First filter is how many of your followers are actually online at the moment the story goes live, ready to see the notification in their feed. The next filter is how many of these decide to read your story at all, which is mostly motivated by the description and how good they expect your story to be in general. And the last filter is how many of those remaining will read the story right now, because heat is mostly based on number of reads and upvotes per time.
It's basically a chain of dice rolls, which you can apply a modifier to, but can't really control anyway. Fail the first die roll, and you don't get to make the second and third.
Probably because we all like you and attempt to show how we like you through likes and favorites on your stories...
Cheers mate!
4060127 2 hours is a median time. A solidly popular story will tend to get that much in heavy opposition of other solidly popular stories.
A less popular story can get pushed out of the box in a matter of minutes.
I've personally experienced up to 8 hours. But that's on a story with around 3k trackers, during fimfiction's off hours of midnight to 8am cst.
4060181 You can't rely on followers alone. The fact is that your followers are a fickle bunch who all watched for various reasons, and may not be the target audience for your story. The real trick is groups. Add your story to as many groups as applies. Find more groups, add it to them. The more specialized the group, the more likely the eyes that see that notification will want to follow that up with a read.
I don't necessarily think that it's the weeboo-verse that is garnering all of the upvotes. What earned you my upvote was that I was brought back to the wonderful (for the first few seasons anyways) show Sliders.
This was pleasantly remenicient of the prelude to just about every episode.
"Oh, thank god we're out of hammer-space laser gundam onii-chan land."
"Don't look now Q-ball, but we're surrounded by talking ponies!"
So. Now. Who will write the spinoff series?

Funny enough I've had that in planning for... 4 years?
... I wrote and published one chapter.

Do you know how many groups I am in. I don't even know. (The answer is 141 @_@) The first thing I do after the publication hits is add my shit to as many relevant groups as I can. They've all got to be tired of me by now.

Your comments make me wish I had ever seen Sliders. I always wanted to. :/
4061533 Hmmm. I got nothing, then. Only a member of 73 at the moment, but I have a fairly decent track record with features. My subject matter tends towards shipping, slice of life, and comedy, which are some of the most popular genres even if the pairings I write for aren't.
Oddly enough, I think the only story of mine that didn't spend some time in the box when it first came out is the one I am perhaps most known for.

Sliders is on Netflix, if you have that.

Ah, but now I require time. :V

Always the smallest resource you have.
