2010 Survivor Off-topic Chat

[YoursSINSerely]

Oh, really? Perhaps you can point to where you can get one of Freddie's claimed books then.

If there's no book available to back them up, they don't exist, hon.

There are no such books in the list of the claimed book publisher (there's a logo on Freddie's covers--you can find that publisher).

Anyone can take an existing cover (Those covers do exist--for other books by other people--by that publisher) and dummy them up and claim them as theirs.

Freddie's whole life here has been a lie. Why should his claimed publishing history be any different?

It's interesting how you can argue over something that anyone can check out for themselves. They can easily check out the claims as an erotica writer for both of us--including quality. I've got reviews you can trace and read. What has Freddie got other than a big, foul, whiny mouth?

Oh, Pilot, I love it when you use those terms of endearment for me. It makes me think that you really like me. I always spell that as hUn, though. I think its cuter.

I also think there is a difference between published and uncirculated, cuz isn't an uncirculated published book worth a whole lot more than one that has it's binding worn and broken? I watch the Antique's Road Show.

Do let me know the first time you see an out-of-distribution e-book on Antique Road Show.

"Hon" is short for Honey. A Hun is an Asiatic barbarian. The exception is Winnie the Pooh, who can use "Hun" as short for Hunny.

 

[al_Ussa]

A Hun is an Asiatic barbarian.

And for some inexplicable reason also a WW I era ethnic slur against the Germans which I've never really gotten.

Wouldn't it have at least made more sense to call the Austro-HUNgarians that? Or even the Turks?

Why not call the Germans... oh... Goths? Or Teutons?

 

[BOSTONFICTIONWRITER]

For all of you Survivor Contestants, Bakeboss posted, yet, another story. This one is a 760 gem, including title. My Ties That Bind.

Now, normally, I wouldn't give a shit about someone posting a story in the Survivor Contest. Only, when I was competing, the moderators, Boxlicker, PrincessErin, and a few others made a big deal about me posting so many stories, too many stories, 200 the first year and more than 300 the second year.

Yet, I never posted a shitty story, such as the one posted by Bakeboss, just to score a point in the Survivor Contest. Don't take my word for it. Read it. I want you to know what all of you are up against. Go ahead and I'll wait here. It will only take you a minute to read it (lol).

When I played this game, had I posted a story, such as the one that Bakeboss posted today, Lauren would have had a hissy fit and immediately taken action to have my story moved out of the category, where I posted it and where Laurel accepted it, to either the non-erotic category or the reviews and essay category.

Now, mind you, my stories were much longer than 760 words, including the title, and I dare say, had much more sex in them and were of better quality. Only, you be the judge. Read Bakeboss's story and I hope you give it the appropriate vote, not that it matters because she, obviously, doesn't care about the vote score, but is only concerned with scoring a point in the contest.

So, now what? Obviously, the moderators aren't going to do anything about Bakeboss, even though, I showed her and her stories for what they are. If anyone is intent on winning the contest, they'll need to write as many shitty little stories as Bakeboss is able to write and post them in any category they desire without exception. Only, the moderators won't allow two contestants breaking the rules in the way that Bakeboss is bending the rules.

You must understand that none of this would matter a rat's ass to me, except for the way that I was treated when I was competing in this game. Now, here is a person who is, obviously, ruining the contest for everyone else, and she is allowed to do that without complaints from anyone, not the moderators, not Boxlicker, not PrincessErin, only me.

In the end, what does Bakeboss win by writing two hundred shitty stories? She'll win $500. So what? Big deal. She'll be stuck with two hundred shitty stories to her name. Even that won't matter. She'll return next year as someone else, PrincessErin, Bakeboss, Cassidy, of Lunch Mother.

Cat got your tongue, Boxlicker? No comment? You had much to say when I was playing this game. Your panties were in a bunch then, huh, Pedo?

Hmm, it'd be funny if Boxlicker was Bakeboss. Nah. Box writes real stories. He's incapable of writing 760 word shitty little stories, including the title.

Hey, you people do what you want, but the moderators, by not taking action against Bakeboss, as they arbitrarily took swift action against me, have already announced the winner of this year's Survivor Contest and guess what? It's not you.

Why bother playing anymore? The contest is officially over.

 

[BOSTONFICTIONWRITER]

Okay, okay, I admit it.

I'm Bakeboss. I've been writing all of these very short and shitty stories, hoping to pull a fast one over the moderators.

With this confession, I realize my cyber identity, Bakeboss, will, no doubt, be disqualified from the contest. I fully accept responsibility for my actions. I was wrong to try and cheat, just to win the Survivor Contest. Please find it in your heart to forgive me (sniff).

I hope now that the moderators will take action and ban my half baked Bakeboss stories (try saying that fast three times). It's only the fair thing to do.

I apologize to all the contestants. Please don't hate me.

Gees, I hope you won't write nasty comments and down vote my Bakeboss stories. That would be just terrible. Yet, I'll understand if you do and maybe you should, just to get out your frustration for my deplorable actions.

I promise to try and control myself from writing anymore short, shitty stories, but I do have some already waiting to post.

Ah, I feel better getting that confession off my chest. The whole thing was a half baked idea anyway. I should have known that I could never fool the moderators.

Thank you for the nice bouquet of flowers, Boxlicker, but how many times must I tell you? I'm not interest in starting a relationship with you. I'm not gay. I'm not even flattered. I'm disgusted. Eww.

 

[scouries]

I knew it was you! Bakeboss indeed. Freddie was always more likely.

and everyone kept saying you were that other weird guy in the contest...

 

[BOSTONFICTIONWRITER]

I knew it was you! Bakeboss indeed. Freddie was always more likely.

and everyone kept saying you were that other weird guy in the contest...

Yes, it's true, Sir Scouries.

I am, indeed, everyone. I write every story here on Literotica.

"Are you ready?"

I am the Almighty, Literorica...God!

As Literotica God or is it God Literotica. Anyway, my biggest failure is Bakeboss. I don't know what I was thinking when I created that identity. I must have been depressed or drunk or depressed and drunk.

I know, I know, I didn't have much time left over and perhaps, I wasn't being fair to that character. Had I had more time, certainly, I would have allowed her to write more than 760, including title. Had I had more time, I would have focused more on the quality of stories she writes.

Only, now, when I look at what I created in Bakeboss, I'm embarrassed, truly, humiliated. Can a father be disgusted by his daughter? I am. Her stories are just terrible, terrible.

Her only saving grace is that the moderators are allowing her to win this contest because they didn't know that I am Bakeboss and I wrote all those shitty, little stories. Go figure. Why are they doing that? What's their motive? What's their agenda?

Now, that they know that I am Bakeboss, don't tell anyone, I'm sure they will take the appropriate action and disqualify Bakeboss for cheating or, at the very least, move her shitty, little stories out of category to where they all belong, non-erotic and reviews and essays.

I hated confessing that I'm Bakeboss, but what else was I supposed to do? I do have a conscience and it isn't fair for me to cheat the other writers who work so hard writing real stories, stories that are longer than 760 words, including title, and stories that have a plot, character development, dialogue, tension, and stories that readers want to read.

I'm just hoping the moderators want to have a fair contest and will stop one writer from posting whatever she writes anywhere she wants to write it. Most of what Bakeboss writes does not fit the category, by Moderator Lauren's definition of a story, of course, must have sex.

So, what do you say, Lauren? Are you going to put a stop to the disgrace that Bakeboss is making of this contest or are you going to continue to allow her to cheat?

 

[scouries]

I voted on one of your stories today Freddie! I didn’t wake up this morning planning on doing it. In fact it’s been quite a while since I’ve even seen a new story from the pen of BOSTONFICTIONWRITER.

It started by accident. A nervous click of my finger and somehow I found myself on a LITEROTICA page I’d never visited before. The page was called:

Reviews & Essays
Top Rated Stories Submitted In:
Last 30 days


I had no idea that such a page even existed. I would have clicked away, in fact was just milliseconds away from doing so, when my eyes were drawn to that familiar name: BOSTONFICTIONWRITER WTF? And not only once but twice!

It was on a list of the 10 most highly rated and read ESSAYS in the last thirty days. And, if the rumors are true and you are also Bakeboss, andtheend, wife2hotblack, and Cal Y Pygia, then 7 of the top 10 stories are by you!

Which is an extraordinary achievement.

I only read one, and quite frankly was afraid it might turn out to be one of those 760 word (including title) stories that you’re always talking about. But it wasn’t! In fact it turned out to be some 12,000 words long. And its good. Very good.

[size=+2]Capitalism, Free Enterprise & Greed[/size]


by BOSTONFICTIONWRITER©

A huge amount of work went into it. Research galore. It’s serious. And funny. Informative. And passionate. Its economics. And movie reviews (I liked the original Swept Away too Freddie). Billionaires. And Millionaires. Baseball players. And LITEROTICA’S top royalty earner. Ferraris! And Toyotas. Marriage advice. Music celebrities. Catholics and the Pope. And Hare Krishna. Thoreau. Teddy the UNABOMBER. Tiger! Boxers. American Idol…

Quite frankly its vintage freddie . WONDERFUL! This is what the SURVIVOR CONTEST should be all about.

I voted it a 5 and then tried to leave a comment but the LITEROTICA bosses said I couldn’t unless I filled out a questionnaire first. Fuck that!

The story only had 10 votes when I read it. And a very low rating. Which, after reading the story, I found extraordinary.

I invite all LITEROTICANS to read this wonderful story. To enjoy it. And then to vote on it.

[BOSTONFICTIONWRITER]

Thank you for plugging my story, Sir Scouries, but as the official Literotica God here, you know, of course, that I am you, too...don't you?

If not, you must suspend your sense of disbelief...and believe...again.

I forgive you for all your transgressions in the past, not with me, of course, but with others. Go in peace.

By the way, I have it on good authority that 2010 is going to be a banner year in sales for you. Maybe you can buy a bigger boat, one that you can fit a name with multiple syllables (lol) across the stern.

I kind of like the name...The Bostonfictionwriter. What do you think? It has a familiar ring to it, especially since you and I are the same person.

I know. Weird, huh?

 

[Sean Renaud]

We can do shameless plugs here?! Good. Shameless plug for Batman: Green War currently on the Earth Day Contest. Five hours and a lot of Vodka! And somehow it's not only coherent, I think it might be good. Not great but good.

You may have better success if you posted a link to your story on the Earth Day Thread, Sean.

"By the way, doesn't your arm ever get tired? Maybe you should switch arms."

Good luck in the contest, but I wouldn't get your hopes up. Sorry. The contest was already decided before it began.

I think if you make a pitch now, you may have a chance at the Nude Day Contest in June. They're taking applications now for the winning entry.

The actually story is just a formality. Judging by some of the contest winners, I suspect they draw name of the winner out of a hat.

Happy Earth Day.

 

[al_Ussa]

So I have to ask, why bother complaining if you aren't even in the contest in the first place? Yeah, it sucks that you didn't win. Deal with it. I didn't win either, but you don't see me complaining or churning out crap. I write what comes to me, and I try to only post works I feel have gone as far as they can. Not EVERY single story needs to be fifty thousand word epic.

Heh, maybe if there is enough interest in some of my stories and/or the mood strikes me I will get around to doing sequels (I've had a couple planned in my time) but until then I've got plenty of other ideas I'd like to play out.

A sequel may be disqualified as a chapter in a story. If you write a story about the sex life of two people, and write another story about the same two people, the second story may be considered to be a continuation of the first, which would make it two chapters of a story, and disqualify it, unless they were posted as novels or novellas. The rule about chapters turned out to be a lot more stringent that I anticipated.

Well if Bostonfictionwriter is to be believed, the rules are applied only to him (and his alts).

That said, as annoying as that rule can be, I think it just forces us to be more cautious. I would probably just avoid listing sequels on my Survivorcard. I mean, I mean unless they are long enough to be novellas. I would LOVE to win the contest, if only for the sake of my ego, but everyone involves knows it will be a buttload of writing. When you are talking over a hundred stories, does writing one or two more make that much of a difference?

Besides, I've found Lit (and the Survivor contest in particular) a great place for working on some of my own ideas that might otherwise not see the light of day. With one possible exception, all of my actual PUBLISHED work has been non-erotic (specifically horror). I can use lit to post some of the sexier ideas I have, not all of which is long enough to even get fleshed out. A few thousand words is more than adequete there.

But... in those cases where I can come up with enough plot and character development to warrant a sequel, writing over the limit (what is it? like 7000 or something) to put it into the Novels/Novella category is easy enough.

Then again not everything I post on Lit needs to be counted for survivor either. I'm happy enough to post a couple extra stories when/if the inspiration comes to me. Survivor is just a nice side benefit done for my own personal enjoyment.

BFW is just a crybaby. I had about ten stories disqualified by the chapter rule, even though I thought of them as sequels or separate stories about the same people or group of people. I still think of them that way, but I accepted the judges' decision.

I am not competing this year to the degree I did in the past, but I might manage to win an Amazon gift card. I will continue to write and post stories as I have in previous years, and if they are not accepted that's the breaks. Some of them I might not even bother entering on my scorecard. I write for my own entertainment and for that of my readers anyhow.

Minimum length for the Novels/Novella category is 7,500 words.

I'm sorry to hear that, but I wish you the best of luck. You were certainly one of the more prolific of the survivor authors, but your stories also tended to be of higher quality than many of your (our) competitors. I can think of a couple of your older works that I REALLY loved. I look forward to seeing what you can offer in the future and, like I said, really do wish you the best of luck.

You know, its actually pretty funny that the only one of my stories entered in the Novels/Novellas category has been both one of my better works (in my own opinion) and one of my more popular ones amongst readers. Kind of funny. But like I said, with longer works I can usually find a paying market and *gasp* actually see the story in print with my name attached to it. Even if I've never published erotica yet mind you.

I DO have one longer story I am considering submitting to this site though so that will probably see the light of day under the survivor contest.

 

[BOSTONFICTIONWRITER]

Here it is June 9th, the second week of immunities for June and yet, still, there is no June immunity setup? What's going on here? Where's the June immunity thread?

Here it is June, nearly halfway through the contest and the scoreboard hasn't been updated in months. What's going on here? Why isn't the scoreboard updated more on a regular basis?

If the moderators don't want to run this contest, let me do it. Certainly, I can do a better job. I'll update both the immunities and the scoreboard weekly.

Truly, I am so embarrassed for everyone responsible for organizing this contest. It's terrible. There's a feeling of that no one cares about this contest, not management, not the moderators, and not even the contestants. Is it because Bakeboss has already won the contest? Is that it? Then, why not just pass out the money and we can all stop this charade of a contest.

I'm going upstairs to complain.

"Hello? Is there anyone here? Gees, the place is empty. Look at all these empty booze bottles. It looks like that must have had a party here. No wonder why they aren't updating the scoreboard and/or the immunities.

Hey, does anyone know what the number was for last week? How about the number for tonight? What's the number?

It doesn't seem fair if a contestant won an immunity, but the immunity number wasn't even posted for June 2nd, not to mention for June 9th, that they should be penalized and not be awarded their immunity becaue they claimed it after the week's deadline...when the number wasn't even posted.

I was going to sign up for this contest, but I don't know now.

There, I feel better venting.

 

[sr71plt]

If you just didn't mention it, this disfunctional "way past its use date" "contest" might just die a merciful death.

Tell Gymsocklicker, why should I have to do that, when this contest is organized for Survivor Contestants and then left on it's own, abandoned and ignored, left to die. What the Hell kind of contest is this?

If the moderators don't want or don't have time to update the scoreboard and post the immunity numbers, then pass it off to someone who will.

This is ridiculous. It's insulting to all those playing the game in good faith. If it's not bad enough that they have a ringer, Bakeboss, in the contest, who has already accumulated enough points to win, then it's even worse that the moderators give little attention to helping to make this a fun and competitive contest.

 

[BOSTONFICTIONWRITER]

I hereby volunteer my services as the Survivor Contest moderator.

All those in favor of wanting me to moderate this contest, please sign in and voice your support.

My first order of business is to make this a fair contest by disqualifying Bakeboss for cheating. Yep, you heard me right boys and girls, for cheating. He/she is a cheater.

Not only was there a second shooter in the grassy knoll, but there is a conspiracy going on here at Literotica to stop you, the average Literotica Survivor Contest participant to keep you from winning the big prize, $500. Yeah, they don't want to pay that out, so Bakeboss is their ringer.

I vow to disqualify the cheater and to make this a fair contest.

I vow to update the scoreboard weekly.

I vow to update the immunities weekly.

I vow to double the prize money (do the math, if you win, you'd earn about $1.43 a story).

I vow to give everyone who participates in the Survivor Contest, whether winning or losing a 2010 Survivor Contest tee shirt, blue for the men and pink for the woman, and baseball caps, same colors, and key chains.

Vote for me, Freddie, Bostonfictionwriter, as your new Survivor Contest moderator.

We're tired of being treated like losers. We're tired of being ignored. We all work hard writing our stories, playing this game, and for what? For what? To be treated this way? It's a disgrace.

Shame on you Literotica! Shame on you moderators! Shame on all of you!

This add was paid for by all those who want a fair contest...me.

I thank you in advance for you support and with me in control, let the games start up again, but without Bakeboss, the cheater.
