Speaking of voting...the V-Day submission is

Sigh. Again, I keep wondering what the scores are for. I understand, I guess. But I don't.

I'm not an author - only the patron saint (blushing with appropriate humility) - but I can tell you what I've overheard: They all vote for their own stories, of course. It's like asking whether a political candidate ought to vote for himself or appear humble by abstaining.
Go. Vote. And sin no more, unless you write a story about it.

Every computer leaves it's own unique signature, so even if you acquire another user name, and try to vote with that one, or however many user names you aquire they will all be canceled out of existance on this site by Laurel and her team if you vote more than once on a story.

ella, you're brilliant (but you know that). I say Lit. voting should be run like the U.S. electoral college process. We would vote individually on stories and then our representatives would ignore us and vote as they like.shereads said:Maybe there needs to be an electoral college.
