"Cheese Doodles!"

"Cheese Doodles!"

I will leave you with that.

That's all I'm going to say on the subject and the accusations of cheating.

"Cheese Doodles!"

I'm done defending myself to those who manipulate the contests, the votes, the scores, and the sentiments on this board by the use of their multiple identities.

When you think you have found a friend on your side, she or he has 5 other identities who hate you and who use whatever information you said to your assumed friend to their advantage.

I only have one identity, Bostonfictionwriter. When I think of cheaters, I think of those who have multiple identities and who have access to multiple computers. Anyone who doesn't believe me just has to go out to the forum boards to see these multiple identity personalities arguing with themselves.

They had been reported to Laurel as well, by readers who obviously didn't agree with Why-I-Don't-Do-Anal essays being offered masquerading as Anal stories, and were relocated before the tallying of points was made official.

The point is, trying to cut corners to get more points than those earned by the stories does not pay off. Someone will see through it.

I don't have to wonder to imagine who Ms. Hynde's is referring to in this passage. Everyone knows that I don't do anal. Everyone knows that all of my anal stories were rejected and shipped over to the reviews and essay category. You just need to check the top review and essay stories to see that I have the most reviews and essays posted, about 2 dozen with more to come this year.

I'm sorry some of my lesbian stories did not include raw, actual graphic sex, Ms. Hyndes, but I needed to develop my characters and build my story before putting them between one another's legs. However, I will keep the fact in mind how fond you are of lesbian sex the next time that I write a lesbian story, sex will begin with the first sentence to leave no doubt that I have written a lesbian sex story.

From now on, whenever I write an anal story, I'll stick it right up their asses in the first paragraph. I'll write about so much shit, excuse the pun, that you won't know what hit your ass when you are done reading it.

Thank you for the critique of my work and for your constructive criticism. You are too generous with your words of advice.

"Cheese Doodles to you, too."

Hmm... after reading all the posts since yesterday, I think I might be safer in the dungeon...

There are always people who are going to cheat. I set myself a goal of filling every single category, either through stories or immunities, and I've spent the past month stretching my brain and comfort zones trying to write stories for everything I can. (I immunitied Illustrated, and I'm not going to attempt the Audio categories because I have no way of recording audio; I immunitied Transexuals and Crossdressers because I would have sounded like I didn't know what I was talking about had I tried to write in that category.) So far, counting stories that I've written but not yet submitted and the ones that are pending, I have at least one story or an immunity in 31 categories. I've been very careful to try to ensure that the stories fit into the categories I've claimed for them; if I've made an error with any of them, I would trust that the story would be moved. And I wouldn't take any offense at it, because if I've posted a story to the wrong category in any case, it was a genuine error.

BFW, you've written some great stories, and if you've written as many as you say, my hat is off to you. No matter how hard I tried, I don't think I could write that many!

Princess, I read your "How-To" about this contest. Good luck to you; you sound like you know how to reach your goal!

PrincessErin, ooh, pink? Pretty!

I've set myself a goal of at least 400 points; I'm hoping to finish in the top 5. It is hard to find writing time when one works full time, but so far I've managed at least a few minutes a day here and there. (I work 35 hours a week as a special education teacher's aide.) On top of the Survivor contest, I'm also working on two young adult sci-fi/fantasy series and some erotica for publication, so there are times I'm stretched a bit thin. Fortunately, my kids are understanding, and my older one begs me for the next books in the series I'm writing, so she keeps me motivated. They don't know, of course, that I write erotica. lol

Erin, you've put out a LOT of stories already; I'm sure you're going to do great in the contest!

[KarennaC]

I prefer purple myself

Very cool! I work with students with behavioral and emotional disabilities. Congratulations on your little one! I'm divorced, so don't have to worry about a husband finding out what I write; the men I've dated over the past few months know, though, and have inspired some of the stories. lol

 

[BOSTONFICTIONWRITER]

Good luck. I hope you win.

Nice to make your acquaintance KarennaC.

With new people this year, as well as some of the others who competed last year, this year's Survivor Contest should be fun.

Yes, at last count, I do have or will have 800 stories to post this year. I was shooting for 365 stories after only posting 195 stories last year, but upped my estimate when I started writing more in 2008 than I did in 2007.

I'm sitting on close to 200 stories to post that need a bit of rewriting. I've already posted 75 and have a dozen waiting to post. I figure that I'll write a minimum of 50 stories a month for the next 10 months, which will put me around the 800 story mark.

Now, unless they change the rule about winners not competing in consequetive years, then by my extrapolations, I should have 2,000 stories to post in 2009 (lol).

My stories are like rats. They multiple as I develop new characters and more chapters.

Good luck. I hope you win.

 

[starrkers]

Wow, BFW - 50 stories a month! Even if they're at the minimum of 750 words, thats 37500 words a month I'll be lucky to write that much all year.

Don't suppose you've got a couple of those multiplying rats to spare have you?

[BOSTONFICTIONWRITER]

I feel like John Travolta in Phenomenon.

I've never written this much, Starkers. It all started last year around this time. Now, I can't stop. It's like all of these stories have been already written inside me ready for me to write them write them. The entire story comes to me in a rush. I know the title, the beginning, the middle, and the ending. Then, before I can even finish writing that one, another one is emerging. It's a weird sensation.

Yeah, I've had lots of life experiences that most people have not had, but this is nuts. I can't stop writing. It just pours out of me.

True, some of my stories are not the best quality, but they are good stories nonetheless. I've never posted a shit story and have posted some really good stuff, such as Emma, Felicia Opens the Door, Love Online, Eternal Love, Hollywood Is At Fault and Hollywood Is To Blame, and others.

I feel like John Travolta in Phenomenon. I'm possessed. I can't type fast enough. I'd rather write than eat or sleep or (gulp) have sex.

"What's that, Honey? You're naked and horny? I'll be right there as soon as I finish these five stories I'm writing."

Part of the problem, I think is that I've stopped reading. When I read someone else's work, I can't write. The process of reading destroys my creativity for whatever reason. When I'm reading I'm not writing and when I'm writing I'm not reading. For the past year, I've been writing.

Granted, I've shortened the length of my stories since the lesson that (gulp again) MungoPark II taught me last year. Instead of posting 3,000-4,000 word stories, which were my average last year, this year's stories average 1,200-1,500. I've been writing stories in chapters, now.

Good luck to you in the contest. I hope you win. I hope everyone wins. I just love the competition.

I apologize about the issues of posting, but many times, I have no idea where to post what story. I've even written a message in the notes field asking whoever reads the story to post it where he or she thinks it will fit.

I just write the stuff. My talent is not in posting it (lol). I've never cheated, though, not ever.

 

[KarennaC]

BFW, nice to meet you as well That's a huge amount of writing; kudos to you! And good luck in the contest! I'd rather have sex than write, but since sex isn't readily available to me, writing about it's the next best thing. lol

Erin, I do some writing about what I wish would or had happened with men I've dated, though some of my stuff is pure imagination.

 

[BOSTONFICTIONWRITER]

Sex ain't what's it's cracked up to be...writing is better.

Now that I'm older, KarennaC, been there and done that, including a 4 year experiment with the swinging lifestyle, sex is not as appealing to me as is writing.

With writing, I can make up my own characters and have them do whatever I want, that is, until they grab the keyboard from my hands and start writing their own story. Whenever that happens, I know the story is good.

 

[KarennaC]

BFW, ah, that makes sense. I'm not exactly young (37), but am only a year out of a sexually boring-as-hell marriage, so I haven't been much of anywhere or done much of anything yet. lol.

Being in control of my characters is my favorite thing about writing, but mine do have an annoying habit of deciding they don't like the story I'm telling, and taking over without consulting me.

 

[KarennaC]

<Peers around the gloom of the dungeon> Hello? Is anyone here today? lol

"Fire! Fire!"

I remember last year I'd come down here to get away from the crowd. Never was there anyone down here. Now, there's Princess Erin in her gold, silk jewel encrusted sleeping bag and KarennaC sulking around in the dark holding a tiny pink flashlight. What the Hell? Don't these two have a life? Why are they always here?

I'll just stay back and maybe they'll leave.

Oh, my God! What's this. KarennaC is stripping off her clothes and Princess Erin is naked beneath her sleeping bag. She's lifting the flap inviting KarennaC inside. They are kissing, French kissing. This is good, real good. I'm so glad I wondered down her. Only, I wish I had my camera.

Shit! KarennaC turned off the flashlight. Fuck!

Oh, I know. I'll light a match. Gees, I just hope my little match doesn't set off the sprinkler.

"Fire! Fire! Everyone get out. Save yourselves! Oh, Hi, KarennaC. Hi Princess Erin. I didn't know you were down here...naked. I guess you didn't have time to get your clothes, huh with the fire and the sprinkler going off. Well, you go ahead of me up the ladder and I'll hold the ladder steady while averting my eyes...upward. Give me the flashlight so that I can light the way for you."

"Freddie, the only thing you are lighting are our asses."

"Sorry."

 

[PrincessErin]

[BOSTONFICTIONWRITER]

Good thing

Good thing this is Literotica, a porn site, where it's okay to write sex stories (lol).

 

[KarennaC]

BFW, gimme back my flashlight! And my clothes! lol

 

[PrincessErin]

.....

 

[BOSTONFICTIONWRITER]

Just a thought.

Clothes? Sorry, I used your clothes for my cross-dressing story.

You have to admit, it could have been a good story, you and KarennaC in the gold, silk, jewel encrusted sleeping bag naked while I watched until the dim light of the flashilight was extinguished and replaced by the radiance of your lust.

Alright, I have to take a cold shower.

JBy the way, jst a thought, I don't know if either of you have satisfied your requirement for a chain story, but if not, maybe the three of us could write something together.

Let me know.

It doesn't matter to me what kind of story, I can pretty much write about anything.

You can pick the topic. I'll follow your lead. Although, I tend to lean towards comedy. Sex should be fun and not so serious. Too many lurkers on this board take sex way too serious.

Any women I have ever been with spend more time laughing than they do cumming.

"You expect to fuck me with that little penis?"

Seriously, though, I've never had sex and not laughed my ass off before, during, and after. Boy, I could tell you stories.

Okay, before I have to break this up in chapters. I'm going to bed.

Good night. Last one out, please close the hatch. Otherwise rain water gets in the tunnel and I've already spent two hours sopping up the water mess the sprinkler head made.
