We're not on the scouries thread, airhead, so we can post where we want, when we want. And if you hate the AH so much, take your own advice and stay away from there.

And if you forget it was "the queen" who moved you back to Story Feedback because of your hatred of so many of us there.

Yeah, forgot that part, didn't you? More of that poor comprehension again. This thread would stay on topic if you'd learn to do what you've told so many of us to do...ignore us. You do that and I'll stop replying to you. Fair enough, sunshine? After all, it doesn't take any of us for you to make yourself look like a total idiot...you do that very well on your own.

My take on the MOST INFLUENTIAL POET for 2008

NOMINEES:

Poet
1) Angeline
2) BOSTONFICTIONWRITER
3) PandoraGlitters
4) Tzara
5) UnderYourSpell
6) WickedEve
7) vampiredust


Here’s my scourian analysis of the nominees:

angeline I’ve got to admit (unfortunately) that I don’t know the lady in question but checking her home page convinced me I’m not going to vote for her. For one thing she’s one of the “old people” (check out her pic) and for another I’m not one of her favorites. And finally most of her work is non-erotic! On an erotic poetry site for crying out loud.

Pandora the fact that she’s “just some chick” is a point in her favor but again she’s one of these “non-erotic” writers. I’m not one of her favorites either!

tzara Good name! But he’s a guy and I’m generally not very high on male non erotic poets. This guy has NO favorites which disqualifies him as far as I’m concerned.

underyourspell I like her handcuffs but what the heck is going on with all these oldish “non-erotic” females anyway? Another one who hasn’t named me a “favorite”.

WickedEve Quoting the lady: I've been here since 2001 -- I have a tendency to cling to places, people, habits. I'm kudzu. Sorry ma’am but I’ve never really liked “non erotic” Japanese poetry. I’m not one of her favorites either!

vampiredust This guy (yes we’ve got a man) doesn’t have any favorites at all. Couldn’t be bothered I guess. Combine that with more “non-erotic” poems and I’m not going to bother to vote for him.

Maybe we should change the title of this award to the LIT-NONEROTICA MOST INFLUENTIAL POET.

Except there’s one other contestant…

So who are we left with?

Oh yeah…. [size=+2] FREDDIE !!!!!![/SIZE]

I thank you for your vote and kind words. I'm the first to admit that I'm no poet. Although, looking over the 69 poems I have written, I had fun writing them.

I haven't read some of the others, but as far as Angeline, I did take a peek at her work and am I correct in my assessment that she hasn't written a poem since...2004? I thought this specific nomination was the most influential poet in 2008. By definition, wouldn't that disqualify her?

My take on the MOST INFLUENTIAL WRITER for 2008

NOMINEES:

1) Freddie aka BOSTONFICTIONWRITER
2) Danikat
3) Many Feathers
4) Sister Serena aka selena kitt
5) Soular


Here’s my scourian analysis of the nominees:


Serena of course is the two time defending champion and is the present FAVORITEST author on the site. In my humble opinion she was a more than worthy winner in 2006 when she produced a large number of very good works over a wide range of categories. Frankly I was less impressed with her victory for 2007 - far fewer stories and far, far fewer good ones. Her victory was delivered more by politicking and back room deals than it was writing.

In 2008 she produced a flurry of works in January (part of her campaign to unseat Danikat and sarahhh as most FAVORITEST) and then submitted very little until she submitted another pile of stories in December (some SURVIVOR strategy I believe). And the stories she submitted in 2008 weren’t her best. I’m not blaming her for this; the poor girl is trying to make a living and is keeping her best work for her own site. Which is completely understandable. But it’s disappointing for the LITEROTICA readers who’d grown to enjoy her work in the early days.

She’s now more about marketing (endless feel good threads) and politicking than she is about writing! Using her publishing might to collar votes. Pandering to the fanatical Lesbians who dominate AHland. Trying to keep everybody happy.

She also spent some time in the Big House during 2008 and I’m not sure we need a felon named as our “Most Influential” author.

danikat was the well deserved 2005 winner and did start 2008 strongly. However, many of the stories she posted last year were stories that she’d posted before she quit the site in a dispute. So that much of her 2008 “output” is really older recycled works. The way she handled her departure and her return also damaged her credibility in the eyes of many authors and accordingly she saw her influence wane.

Unfortunately she also missed much of the year due to illness which we all hope she’s fully recovered from.

Lets face it, she’s an excellent writer but her work really doesn’t belong on this site. Her works, which often lack ‘true erotic content’, don’t easily fall into the comfort level of the great mass of the LITEROTICA readership.

Soular joined the site in June 2008 and submitted two multi chapter stories in the Interracial category. She was a sensation! Her stories were both highly rated and amassed huge numbers of votes. Within the world of Interracial fiction she’s become a superstar.

In the final analysis though I’m afraid I can’t back her. I’m sorry to have to admit that I’d never heard of her until this contest started in early 2009. I see a great future for her but she certainly wasn’t the MOST INFLUENTIAL author in 2008.

Many Feathers is another past winner. He’s also one of the most famous LITEROTICANS of all time. A multi contest winner. Originally known as the sandman he reappeared as Many Feathers some years later. Then, after a couple of years with very little LITEROTICA output, he reemerged last year as a powerful voice.

He’s good! Very good! And has a vast army of fans. He’s a man who continues to produce good stories across a broad spectrum of categories. My only small argument with his winning this contest is that I’m not sure if his 2008 stories were much different than the ones he submitted eight years ago. Is he inspiring the next generation? I guess the answer to that question is up to the voters.

Freddie so far has never won this contest! Unfortunately! This man has submitted some 671 stories to the site over the last two plus years. In every category.

He became the most famous author on the site. His writing continually challenges us. He perhaps more than any other author on the site inspires his brethren. Not all his stories are “5’s”. or even “4’s”. But all have a certain something that other authors can take to improve their own writing. I’ve seen stories by authors as diverse as the pilot and the doctor which have incorporated Freddie-isms into their fabric.

He’s made the place more dynamic. He challenges us to be better. Amuses us. Entertains us.

MY PICK?

For me it came down to a choice between Freddie and Many Feathers. After some reflection I chose:

[size=+2]Freddie !!!![/size] He’s the man.

I’m james r scouries and I’d like to see some changes…

[size=+2]OK lets get back to football and the Dolphins…[/size]

I thank you again for your vote and for your kind words.

Clearly, I'm honored that I am one of the writers chosen against a talented field. Only, I'm surprised there aren't more writers in competition.

I had just as much fun in 2008 as I had in 2007 writing my stories. I did write more stories in 2008, but many of those were chapter stories, albeit they were still longer stories than many of the stories that I wrote in 2007.

I am proud of many of my stories and can't believe that I wrote in so many catagories.

It doesn't matter if I win or lose, just to be nominated is an honor that I'll forever cherish. Good luck to all those competing against me for the honor of the Most Influential Writer.

KUDZU is aplant that grows in the south. NOT a form of japaneese poetry
idiot. Cant you three stooges get anything right????????????

 

[timmywells]

Roughly half of the nominees in the "best story" cateogories aren't stories at all, but merely chapters, including 3 major categories where all of the nominees are chapters. It would be nice if you could vote for a story that actually is a story.

Hard to imagine Cormac McCarthy winning a Pultizer Prize for Chapter 17 of The Road.

VERY, VERY GOOD POINT!!! Finally someone who's on topic and who's very smart.


QUOTE fishboy aka ace KUDZU is a plant that grows in the south.

yeah, like in the south of Japan... they use ink from it's leaves to write their hi-ques if I'm not mistaken.

little stooge you really do need look stuff up before you post it will save you from looking stupid. (maybe)

And this is on topic, how? Oh and can you provide links to where it says the plant is used for ink? Cuz I sure as hell never heard that. Ever.

 

[sharkjcw1]

Timmywells has a very good point. maybe we should ask Laurel and Manu if they can do a format change that will allow all chapters of a stoy to be linked under one post heading instead of as a series of headings.

you see hick lady, my post DID get results....

Thank you very much LAUREL ! The title of my story is now listed. Much appreciated.

[size=+2]OK now to the Dolphins…[/size]

 

[scouries]

And speaking of changes and/or suggestions here’s another thought on these Awards:

LAUREL , why not lead them off with the important categories? Right now, if I want to see what’s going on in the MOST INFLUENTIAL AUTHOR or POET catagories, or the SEXIEST MALE or FEMALE categories, I have to go to page two of the voting.

In fact right now the first twelve threads on the Awards voting page are either poetry categories or foreign language categories.

You’re going to lose most of the potential voters before they get to the important categories. Put the important ones first! Then put the popular ones next. Then put the rest.

I believe this will generate more votes and interest in the contest. There’s still lots of time left ma’am so I’d suggest you adjust the order of the threads asap.

I agree with you on the order of the categories. The best and all-encompassing categories should be listed first. I also like the link that is available on the first sticky. That makes it much easier to vote. Why can't that link be on the home page as well? The whole voting page should be right at the fingertips of the readers as well as the writers. I think Laurel and Manu could use a lesson in marketing because so far, the voting scores suck for a website that gets millions and millions of hits every day.

My take on the VARIOUS POETRY AWARDS

Well as you all know I’ve already picked the brilliant [size=+2]Freddie [/size] as MOST INFLUENTIAL POET for 2008. There’s really no other choice.

However, today I’d like to discuss my picks in the various other poetry classes. Here’s my take on them:

POETRY WITH AUDIO

The choice here is easy – my vote goes to the Canadian Princess, the lovely Erin. She certainly “touched me” with her effort! And sorry miss lindianna - not this time! Nor next time either!


NON EROTIC POETRY

Quite frankly I don’t believe non erotic anything should be allowed on the site. Which makes choosing a winner very difficult. In the end I voted for my old pal jomar . WTF, he definitely had the best title.


ILLUSTRATED POETRY

This is another category that we could easily do without. The only people who use this category are the “survivalists” in their endless quest for more points! In the end I voted for LadyFreakenstein because at heart she’s a real sweetie. Mind you I was tempted to cast my vote for the boxman but alas, unlike many AHers, I only have one vote.

EROTIC POETRY

I VOTED FOR Kolkore. Mainly because he’s a man who’s made thousands of comments on other peoples stories (even the odd one of mine). The fact that he’s supported us demands that I support him.


So that’s it for the poetry categories. Agree? Disagree? No need for you to be scared to express your opinion (it’ll only be held against you for a year or so).

Next I’ll discuss the foreign language entries.

...and who's sock puppet are you?

Why are you here other than to stir up shit? Don't you have enough shit in your shitty little life than to come here and start more shit? You leave shit skidmarks everywhere you go.

Scouries gave his opinion, which is more than I can say for the vast majority of readers and writers here who just come here to read. Very few vote, even fewer take the time to make a comment.

Yet, here you are, someone who has never written a story, throwing shit against the wall. Here you are a coward afraid to post under your real Literotica name for fear of being identified and seen as the shitty little person you are.

You are why this site sometimes smells.

Now, go away you shitty person and allow the rest of the writers here to continue in peace.

What, exactly, are you afraid of?
Here you are spouting the same old, tired, psychotic shit that you were a month ago.....Jeez, you do have brain damage, right? You didn't go out of the basement and get some, did you?
Listen, BFW, those skanks that do the call-ins from CL aren't whatcha call primo, YKWIM?
Get outa the chair, move that six-hundred lbs ass up the stairs and down the street.....get jiggy wit it......

 

[sharkjcw1]

He is just too stupid to realise that this is my real name. BFW ought to look at some of his own stories as I have commited on them at different times . But being a member of the three stoogies that would require something he dosent have. A WORKING brain.

The three stooges won't believe you, I'm afraid. You see, they think every ID that posts on these threads is an alt of one or two people. We're still trying to figure it all out, but by their accusations, there are only about 8 actual people who write stories and post on Literotica. All the IDs are merely alts of someone else, especially if they don't agree with anything the three stooges have to say.

They also want you to disregard the fact that they have several alts of their own and can't hide it because they don't change their posting/writing style, but then of course, they deny it vehemently, insult us (poorly I might add), and accuse everyone of being an alt. It's a vicious cycle.

Oh yeah, they also believe that those one or two people with the millions of alts are the site owners/administrators and accuse them of cheating on contests. Again, disregard the fact that they use their own alts to vote/comment/read their stories. That's okay, because in their demented, delusional world, they're justified because they're not the ones cheating.

You have commited on my stories at different times. What does that mean in English.

Did you commit them to memory because you love my me and my stories so much, is that what you meant to write, you illiterate moron.

Here you are bashing someone who writes stories and you can't even write one grammatically correct sentence. Who's the idiot here?

I'll tell you what, brainiac. Why don't you write us all a story to show us all how it's done. At least MissChick writes stories. At least MichChick is a good writer. At least MissChick can put me down without making a complete fool of herself, as you have just done.

Listen, Hon, really, you need a life. There is more to life than vomiting shit. Aren't you ever nice? Every time I read a post from you, it's shit and more shit. Don't you get tired of being nasty and bitter? Is it the world you hate or just me, Scouries, Sarahhh and...everyone?

You need to talk to a professional, a psychaitrist. There is medication out there that can help you, I heard. I mean, I'm totally sane. I've never had to take drugs to make me normal, but maybe you need that.

Get help before it's too late.

 

[michchick98]

Is it the world you hate or just me, Scouries, Sarahhh and..

No, it's just you and scouries and sarahhh and your army of alts. And I believe that you don't have any alts about as much as I believe scouries makes money writing for this site....which is not at all (just thought I'd add that last part so your pea-brain can absorb it).

You really should lay off the steroids, Freddie. Not only to they make you a raving lunatic, they shrink your already microscopic dick. It'd be a pity for your dad, brother, sister or mom because you really can't satisfy them sexually.
