I was looking at the feature box this morning and saw They always come Early on it. Now I am not complaining, but this story has 42 likes and 37 dislikes (at the time of this post) and yet it can still make the feature box. Meanwhile, my story, Power's Price has 24 likes and only 2 dislikes. My like:dislike ratio is is over 10 times better than that story and yet it can make feature box. Unless stories are selected just by the amount of likes they get, I am genuinely confused as to how this system works. If they bring back the Feature Box, they need to fix this system as well.

Stories are actually featured based on the total number of ratings they get. As long as they have more likes, A story with 51 Likes and 49 dislikes can get up there.
At least, I think that's how it works.

606273 I just found that a little funny how such a highly disliked story got on there.

Hey, much worse stories stuck out their ugly head before.

606261>>606273 It's based on favorites and total words written. If it has 50+ favorites and is over 4000 words, BOOM! Featured.

Really?
Dang.
There's this one story I have that's about 6 favs away from that goal then.

606329 I forgot to mention that it's time relative, too.

606313 thanks for that.

You guys are great.

Time relative?

606415 heh, I need something new to read anyway.

606415 Yeah, I think the fic had to be published on the same day it hits the featured box.

I don't know about that.
I've seen other fan fics appear in the featured update section of the box.
And they had low ratings before.

606446>>606470
I'm pretty sure the criteria for getting featured just gets raised as time passes.
