2024 Nude Day Contest support thread

Note that if any of your titles contain commas you'll need to edit the downloaded file in wordpad or some other basic text editor to change the commas that are part of a title to a dash or something
I couldn't believe they'd botch something as simple as export to CSV so I tried it just now. If it was indeed broken before, it seems fixed now; the titles are correctly with quotation marks in the exported file, e.g.:
"Gym Girl, Interrupted",Fetish,06/03/2024,4.68,13815,71,2,23,40
In other words, it should work without a fuss in any spreadsheet application. (I tried OSX Numbers and LibreOffice Calc and it parsed fine).

It used to be for a fair amount of time. LOL I honestly haven't even tried to directly import in ages. I always automatically open the one for this pen name that has a title with a comma and edit it before even trying. I reported the bug, so they must have fixed it during one of the control panel updates after I stopped checking. My eyes were glazing over the quotation marks, I guess.
 
I'm over 600 votes and closing in on that 650 I like to hit day-1 on an RR submission in the category. On a story this long that is more or less just an orgy with not a lot of plot, and no street cred in the category, that's well above my expectations. Gotta love the extra eyes a contest puts on you :D
 
Lol.

Normally, my stories get about 2-300 votes total over their entire run. I'm lucky if they get 30 by the end of day 1.

Cannot relate. :LOL:
It's in Mature, and the category is only one slight step down from the readership size of Incest or LW. You can't really compare it to the response in the bulk of categories. If I'd dropped this one in Group Sex ( as I used to always do when there was 3 or more participants, regardless of the age-difference dynamic ) it probably wouldn't have half that.
 
I really enjoyed Nude Day at the Gym and Brothers and Sisters, good nude/nudist stories if you enjoyed causal nudist story without sex.
 
It’s interesting that my previous story seems to be getting more attention than my contest story. I guess I benefit from the contest either way.
 
I remember years ago I had two stories in the Nude contest when the resident annoying idiot was yammering on about how writers should only be allowed one story per contest, two was annoying and wrong and three or more were a 'crime to the site' and the offending author should be banned permanently from the site. He was screaming for Laurel to pull the "excess stories" off the contest.
Let's be honest, he did all this posturing only to increase his own odds at winning.
Well, I couldn't resist. I loved getting under his skin. It was about 11:00 with one hour before the contest ended, so I rolled up my sleeves and banged away. a little after 11:30 and I submitted my third 'offending' story. It wasn't great but it still has a little over 4.0 voting. I'll take it.
I also remember that dear TxRad also submitted multiple entries that year just to piss him off.
Ah, good times.
Shit, is he still around??!! I submitted three entries this year, and five last year! PS I write CFNM, so pretty much any of my stories could fit in the Nude Day contest. I barely accrue enough scores to qualify though, let alone win, so I doubt I'd be seen as much of a threat! 😙

Nah, he who shall not be named didn't last long once the board was moderated. His favorite Alt got perma-banned and he got a couple of time-outs after having most of his trolling threads locked. After that, he just sort of faded away.

I always thought that if he left it would be kicking and screaming not with barely a whimper but am just so glad it is over.

It had reached a point where a large chunk of the forum was ignoring him. Pile his trolling getting moderated almost as soon as it popped up on top of that... This was all he had. He hadn't written anything new in years by the time he fizzled out in the forum.

Either that or his twisted ego made him think that going away would generate a massive outpouring of sorrow at his absence. LOL Probably both, come to think of it.
 
Is it me, or is the bombing getting worse? I've had a bunch of 3s swept already over the past few days, yet twice a day another is added.

I might question the quality of my story, but the other stories featuring the same characters were (before this contest, haha!) rated around 4.7-4.8. Now suddenly this one is struggling to stay north of 4.2.

If whoever is doing this reads this post: does winning the contest really matter that much to you? Or is it the sense of power, a little thrill that one second of your time and effort is essentially shitting on someone's work? Does it make you feel clever? Well, good for you. You're a champion. Have yourself a nice smug glass of fuck off.
 
How do reviews work, can the same person review the same story over and over again? I've never thought about it.
 
I haven't noticed any sweeping thus far. I don't expect one until the end, right before the winners are set and announced.

They could vote repeatedly under separate accounts. I have no idea if those duplicates would get swept or not. We're not given the formula for sweeping.

That's true, I hadn't thought about that. Seems like a lot of work to go to though!
