Apologies for the lengthy query.  I am newbie in writing user stories.  I have got a high level requirement for an online portal with no access to the actual user :  Subscriber can access a new feature in the online portal which gives the most popular queries in the portal.  I have the following questions on this typically to be asked to the user. 1) Why is this feature required in the portal?2) How the data that is returned is going to be useful to the subscriber?3) How does the user want to see the data? (In what format)4) How many items does the user want to see while using this feature?5) How long can the user wait before the results are displayed?6) Most popular item is to determined in what time frame( in a day/week/month etc)7) Where does the user want this new feature in the portal( homepage/user account page etc.) Nevertheless, I have to come up with an example epic and user stories based on this requirement to present to my Manager(he doesn't mind even its based on assumptions) to prove my interest in writing user stories. Epic : As a subscriber, I want to see the most popular queries in the portal so that ------User Story 1: As a subscriber, I want a feature Popular Queries in the portal so that I can see the most popular queries.  User Story 2 : As a subscriber, I want a feature Popular Queries in the homepage so that I can have easy access to it.(based on assumption)  User Story 3: As a subscriber, I want the results to be displayed in 2 mins when I access Popular Queries feature, so that I don't wait longer.  User Story 4: As a subscriber, I want the most popular queries of a day to be displayed when I access the Popular Queries feature, so that I can read them.  User Story 5: As a subscriber, I want to read the most popular queries of a day so that I can know the day to day trend.  User Story 6: As a subscriber, I want to see 50 most popular queries of a day when I access the Popular Queries feature so that I can browse them easily.Could someone please validate the work that I have done so far and let me know if I am going in the right direction? Also any pointers for improving my story writing skills would be helpful.Thanks
