I think there are people who will always judge. I don't think it's anyone's place to judge our writing solely by whether we participate in a contest or choose to post stories on Literotica or other, similar, sites.

However, it happens. To people who haven't participated in Survivor, and even some who have, the fact that the contest is based on quantity rather than quality means that the stories are not quality. That's inaccurate. There are certainly stories from Survivor participants (myself included) that are utter dreck because they were written for the sole purpose of filling categories and upping point totals. There are also stories from Survivor participants that are incredibly good, and there are stories from people who wouldn't even consider Survivor that are utter dreck.

The quality of stories isn't based on whether they're part of Survivor; it's based on the skills of the author.

So no, I don't think it's fair to judge someone's writing ability on how many stories they've submitted to Survivor, but it will happen. Fair or not.

I have a quibble to make about Rule 6, which pertains to chaptered stories. There is no objection to requiring that individual entries, with the exceptions of Novels & Novellas and Chain Stories, should be stand alone stories. However, not accepting a story solely because Lit. Management has designated it as a chapter does not seem right.

Case in Point: My most recently posted story should have been named "Mother's Milk: The Next Morning." That was the name I gave when I submitted it. It was and is intended to be a sequel to a story I posted last year, and it does involve the same two characters and refers to events in the previous story, but it is a story that can stand on its own. The Management of Lit., as is their right, chose to give it the name "Mother's Milk, CH 02."

Besides that, I have an ongoing series about Angel Jones and another one about Marian and Ryan. To indicate these stories are about ongoing characters, I tried to name them "Angel 1", "Angel 2", "Angel 3", etc. and "Marian and Ryan 1" etc. Each of these stories, although capable of standing on its own, has been designated as a chapter.

What I am asking is that the rule be softened somewhat to say that merely because a story has been designated by Lit. as a chapter does not disqualify it, as long as it is capable of standing on its own.

Up to your old antics, eh, George, you pedophile, trying to cheat again for the sake of a few points. Is the Survivor Contest that important to you that you must cheat?

Chapter stories are not allowed, George. Read the rules.

Boy, you tried sneaking that one in and Laurel caught you. That really must have pissed you off, huh?

Is that all you're writing now, chapter stories? It must be tough think of an original story line being your advanced age that you must write the same concept, but now in a chapter of a story.

"Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!"

 

[BOSTONFICTIONWRITER]

I agree with Boxlicker on this. Prequels and sequels are not ipso facto the same thing as chapters of a novel. (Ever seen a James Bond movie?) The use of linking titles is a means to try to signal to the reader that they are linked stories, but complete stories in their own right. Literotica doesn't give the writer any other means of linking them in the reader's eye from looking at the lists.

It's Literotica that is being too restrictive on this, not Boxlicker trying any survivor's contest end run. It affects a whole lot of creative authors who aren't anyway involved in the survivor's contest.

Hey, if pedophile Boxlicker is allowed to submit chapter stories in the Survivor Contest, there is still plenty of time for me to join and submit all my chapter stories that I haven't yet submitted.

 

[sr71plt]

I don't support chapters being permitted as separate, full-fledged entries in any of the contests. I pointed here to distinctions between chapters and related complete stories and prequels and sequels. Lit.'s system just isn't sophisticated enough to accommodate the creative linking of standalone stories, which is a creative literary technique.

You hadn't posted any stories at all this year, BFW, as of the last time I looked, chapter or otherwise--which pretty much belies your "I only write for the fun of it" claim. When you couldn't win titles, you just stopped posting as BFW. (Posting under another name is a different cyber personalty posting.)

Since you've never entered a Survivor Contest, you should mind your own business and concentrate on being gay.

Oh, and have a nice gay day.

 

[sr71plt]

You haven't entered this survivor contest this year either, have you? (which didn't stop you from your initial nasty comment on Boxlicker's post). Which pretty much negates anything you have to say along the mind-your-own-business line. You, in fact, have nothing at all to say about submissions in any area of the Web site this year, do you?

My comment specifically addressed the issue beyond the survivor contest--as has Boxlicker when discussing this aspect of submissions.

yapyapyap.

 

[BOSTONFICTIONWRITER]

It's interesting that you move and/or delete my posts. Is it because I'm not registered for the Survivor Contest and therefore not allowed to post here?

Sr71plt is not registered either. Yet he's allowed to post here.

Or did I step on Boxlicker's toes by accusing him of cheating, as he has accused me of cheating so many times.

I guess it depends on who is making the accusations.

Do you feel powerful, Crimson or just pathetic, as I view you?

 

[BOSTONFICTIONWRITER]

Why are you always here, following me from thread to thread. You only made your post because you noticed that I posted. Suddenly, you took an interest in what pedophile Boxlicker had to say.

Shouldn't you be having gay sex with yourself?

 

[sr71plt]

Paranoid much?

Your posts were not relevant in any way to the contest, so they were moved to the off topic forum. Any other non-topic post will be moved as well.

Isn't all sex with yourself gay sex?

just sayin'...

What's So Bad About The Survivor Contest?

I've been doing some thinking and rereading a lot of my stories. They are not ALL bad. I've realized that unless I post stories under a new name, certain people will always see me as "that girl who wrote 300 stories in a year."

So my question if anyone is listening and wants to answer is this - is it fair to be judged because of the Survivor contest? Is it really that bad? If it's so bad why do so many people participate each year and why do wonderful authors continue to participate?

If it'll make you feel any better, I don't think of you that way. I think of you as the girl whose AV had those gorgeous boobs, and wish you would post it again.

You are very sweet Box.

Thanks, Erin. You are too.

One would think, only it's doubly gay with sr71plt because he told me that he can blow himself, probably because no one else will.

Actually, he said that he blows himself because he's not gay, he's...bi-sexual. Yeah, I know, I don't get it either.

He just hasn't emerged from the closet, yet, I guess. I'd wish he'd just stay there instead of posting 24/7.

 

[BOSTONFICTIONWRITER]

Boobs? I thought that was her ass crack.

Are you serious? All this time that was her tits and I thought it was her ass. Wow, go figure.

I guess she's the kind of woman, round, that you can't tell if she's coming or going.

"Ha! Ha! Ha!"

Yeah, well, thanks for moving me, but you didn't have to push, shove, and give me a kick in the ass while you were doing it.

Nice pointy toed shoes by the way.

 

[sr71plt]

I quite agree, BFW. Once again you've been reduced to a simmering glob of blithering idiocy.

After years of resisting and I finally succumb to the challenge.

In spite of the fact that I may be the slowest writer in the group, I'll give it my best.

Please count me in for this year's challenge.

Hi, Tex, and welcome to the contest. Since I note you are not a regular on the AH, congratulations on winning the Nude Day Contest too.

 

[Tx Tall Tales]

Thanks Boxlicker - Surprised the heck out of me. Who would ever guess that an 8 page entry would even get read by anyone?

I figure I have so many unfinished series, stories, and ideas I haven't even begun to put on paper, maybe this is the push I need to hunker down and clear up my writing backlog.

 

[Sean Renaud]

Actually an eight page story probably has a bit of an edge in a contest. I would have to go and gather evidence to support my hypothesis but it goes like this.

With a short story and people read it. And they vote on it.
With a long story only the people who really loved it get all the way to the end. You get a lot less low votes as a result.

 

[Selena_Kitt]

So Survivorphiles... since you are the ones submitting stories every day... what's our current turnaround time from date of submission to posting on the site at the moment? Five days? Seven?

 

[wife2hotblk]

I think it may depend some on the category as well as submission traffic. Audio and illustrated take a bit longer. Sometimes it can be as quick as two days, but I think five to seven is a tad longish. I think on average...three to four.

Oh, sorry, I should have said just regular submissions, not audio or illustrated

Thanks for the info!
