Okay, I feel this needs to be said. Some authors on SOL feel that if a story has no spelling or grammar errors, it deserves a ten. I don't see it. I read to escape (and I read A LOT). Frankly, I can skip over a few obvious errors if it is a good story. People buy stories or in this case, read them for free because they speak to them. Now, if you say controversial things you will get a lower score. Deal with it. Maybe you feel that a particular thing is worth a lower score, if so fine. One of the authors pointed out that to max your score, the story need mt/ft, incest and science fiction, LOL. So if you are writing for scores, avoid controversy (religion, politics, etc). If you are writing the next "Great American Novel" as my college English professor referred to all the books he forced me to read, then you are most likely in the wrong place. Also if you are a little snowflake and can't take criticism, turn off scoring. Well, just my two cents, let the flaming begin.
