I think short stories are magical. If you are a busy person and don't have enough time to read a 300 page novel, you can just read a short story.

Dear School Nurse:
Bubbly Fluffinsworth will not be attending school today. He/she has come down with a case of Cutie Pox and has horrible papers and a/an decent fever. We have made an appointment with the yellow Dr. Weenus, who studied for many years in Stalliongrad and has 15 degrees in pediatrics. He will send you all the information you need. Thank you!
Sincerely
Mrs. Wobbly.

I was wondering if someone knew if there was a general view to ratings ratio, or if it depended on a complex equation like, say, if a story has more down votes than up votes, a viewer will immediately know something is up, might read the first paragraph, and then down vote. I'd like some input on this topic.

On my story right now, it looks like a 10:1 ratio of view:ratings. (with all likes lol)
