Looking for a few girlies to beta the Halloween set.
3 stories. Same night. Different traps.
Ouija board that doesn’t stay quiet. Woods that know your name. Maze that already knows what you want.
18+. Dead dove. Not a romance.
If that’s your poison and you can be honest in the margins, lmk. I’ll send the files.
Hi ladies.
I finished a novella and I want a few of you on the first half before I do anything else with it.
It is dark. Explicit. Not a romance. She is thirty, just moved out, ovulating, and the men she hired are not what she thinks they are. I am not sending the night. I am sending the day before it. I need to know if you would turn the page.
If this is not your shelf, skip it. If it is, mail me on this account and tell me you want the file.
xoxo

When I first started posting on SOL, my scores were noticeably lower than what I was getting on other sites. Same stories, same writing, but the numbers here just didn’t match up. At one point I genuinely started wondering if the crowd on this site was just harsher for no reason.
Then I started limiting access, putting some of the work behind a paywall. And the ratings climbed. Not a little either, they moved much closer to the scores I see everywhere else.
I’m not saying this to complain. I’m actually curious.
Has other authors experienced the same thing?
Do fully open stories tend to attract more low-effort or drive-by ratings, while stories that require a bit more effort (login, payment, etc.) end up with a more invested group of readers?
I’d genuinely like to hear if this is a common pattern or if I just got unlucky early on.
Furthermore, should low-rating givers be forced to provide at least a sentence justifying the low score?
