How do I rate Stories as my Favorites?


How do I rate stories as my Favorites?
 
1.    By how captivating the story is. If I completely forget to wash my Landry and eat, until I finish the story, then it will get 5 stars.
2.    Originality of the story and unexpected Plot turns. (A new outcome to a show or book event.)
3.    Emotional upheaval that causes heart felt emotions for the characters. (These will come with a Tissue warning.)
4.    Detail. I don’t need to know what they ate, but I like detail about where they are, what they are doing, etc. I dislike stories that move so quickly, that it is hard to tell what is going on and who everyone is. I love detail.
5.    Story Length. I dislike one shots. To me they are nothing but a tease! I prefer long stories or Series.
 
*** Grammar does not play into my rating system. Some of the best Plot idea writers have a few grammar mistakes and typos. While some of the best Grammar writers have boring stories. We are all writing to grow as writers, so I will not hold a few grammar errors or typo’s against a story. So unless there are an obscene amount of Errors, I do not factor Grammar into my ratings.
