What do the small gray icons on story listings mean?

Literotica uses Story Cards to list stories on various pages around the site. A Story Card shows the Story Title, Story Description, Story Author, Story Category, Publication Date, any Special Status, and Story Statistics.


Story Statistics are shown as a row of small gray icons, most with numbers beside them, at the very bottom of the Story Card.

Story Statistics icons may include:

RATINGS ICON - this star icon shows the reader vote rating for the story. The number to the right of the star shows how Literotica readers have rated the story on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best possible score.

VIEWS ICON - this graph icon shows the number of times that the story has been read/viewed by Literotica readers.

FAVORITES ICON - this heart icon shows how many Literotica users have added this story to their Favorites List.

COMMENTS ICON - this word bubble icon shows how many Comments have been made on this story by members of the Literotica community (including the author).

LISTS ICON - this lists icons shows how many reader Lists this story has been added to.

SERIES ICON - this series icon shows that the story is a part of a multi-part Series (rather than a standalone single story).

In addition to the Statistics Icons, some stories may have colored icons at the start of the stats row to show special status. See the Colored Story Icons FAQ for information on those icons.
