    I make them as weird as possible to try and get as low as possible.

    They never post them so it doesn't really matter.

    Usually from 70% on up. It's kind of scary to see anything less than 50% sometimes.

      The results of the poll so far have scared me. A lot of mine are in the 10-20% range and I thought that was normal because that's always been the case for me. I'm obviously doing something wrong.

      None of my stories are about sexuality, incest, bestiality, hating women, or are racist, ageist, or ignorant. They're usually about IIN itself, philosophy, ecology, morality, law, things that are wrong with the world, or just jokes.

      It makes me feel that people genuinely hate me and are only nice to my face. When I'm anonymous (like in a story), the truth comes out.

        I don't think that they hate you, I just think that people are genuinely more rude and judgmental when they can get away with it, both with anonymity and their conscience. I know I have done it before.

        It's much more difficult to be a judgmental asshole to someone that you don't know. And then when you do know them, your opinion of the person makes their opinions of lifestyle somehow seem more acceptable to you. Do you know what I am talking about?

          In retrospect, I was being a properly moody little twat this morning, and I'd like my comments stricken from the record.

          I know people don't hate me. I was just behaving badly. This is my problem, not anyone else's.

    yes, my mark was in the 50/60% I would say most of these are truly genuine and sincere and worth sharing on. I know all mine are in this bracket even higher in most comments I reply to

    Mine have been quite varied but round out around 40-60%
    I've had several under %20 including one that's still at %0.

    Most of mine are relatively normal, I do have one under 20% though. I haven't really posted a lot of stories though. D:

    Something I just realised:- I posted a story here three months ago. An actual honest-to-God story because I was in a situation that was tearing me apart. That got voted 93% normal (even though it's a surreal, abnormal situation).

    When I made a joke story, it got voted 17% normal, even though it was funny.

    People aren't voting on "Is it normal?", they're voting on "Is it real?"

    Whoops, I clicked the wrong option (90-100%). I averaged it, and it's actually 63%.

    90%-100% I don't go around putting feces in jars at least.

    A lot of my stories have been voted normal, but half have been considered abnormal.
