@vorticrux You're welcome :)

@Ornament All right, that's a lot less complicated than I thought; of course, I have a tendency to overcomplicate things A LOT. :P Thanks so much for your help! :)

@vorticrux thanks a lot, that's really nice of you! But it's cool, we all have things to do :)
            Votes make your story more popular, if you have enough the story might even be ranked. Each genre has a list with (I think) the 1000 most voted/popular stories.
            Plus it's a good way of finding out if someone likes your story ;)
