| Ithilwen | Multi-Chapter 'fic Rated +1. Hooray, but why? Okay, I have a multi-chapter story posted. Overall it has a rating of Original +1 (and there was much rejoicing on my part), but I'm confused about how it got that way.One of its chapters is +2 for Funny and one is +1 for Moving. Most chapters are unrated. None of the chapters are rated for Original. Is there some sort of overall rating? Both of my other multi-chapter 'fics that have been rated have one chapter rated and that stood for the whole story, +1 for one and -1 for the other. |
| Ithilwen | I just looked at another of my multi-chapter 'fics, and while its rating (Boring -1) hasn't changed, I've noticed that individual chapters have been rated differently. If I add all the ratings together, though, I get -1. |
| Kemayo | The +2 Funny was first rated +1 Original, which is where that came from. We pick the adjective that was most used... or if there's a tie, it randomly picks one of the most used. So there were three ratings used on the fic, and it just happened to turn up Original when it was last rated. |
| Ithilwen | Thanks. That tells me where the word comes from. How about the number? Does it have to get the same rating more than once for things to add up? |
| Kemayo | As I recall, the rating of a multi-chapter story is the average of its per-chapter ratings, not including unrated chapters, rounded down. I think I may want to alter that behavior, so it's not quite so harsh... it is, after all, very hard to have a multi-chapter story rated 5 under this behavior. (It's been a while since I read through the code for this, and I'm not the one who wrote it in the first place. So I may be misrepresenting it...) |
| Ithilwen | Oooooooh. Yeah. This system favors multi-chapter 'fics that are posted one chapter at a time on ficwad. This story was written a long time ago and transplanted whole. Overall it makes sense, though. |
