Discussion Thread - 10th Annual Literotica Reader's Choice Awards

[Selena_Kitt]

Believe it or not, I'm reading a Nora Roberts novel right now (an older one) and it's a third person narrative, but the POV switches from person to person every few paragraphs. Ironically, it's not confusing in the least.

Well I wouldn't expect the infamous Ms. NORA to have to follow any publisher's rules for pete's sake! They'd let her do anything she wanted at this point. Just like no one will edit Stephen King's tomes back to a reasonable length anymore!

To be fair, it CAN be done... I said that back there somewhere... like any rule, it can be broken, and done well. And like any rule, it has to be learned before it can be broken (and done well...)

So the "general rule" for the rest of us peons still stands. (That word really does come from pee-ons, doesn't it?)

Its not something that has been commented on by readers though, so maybe I can get away with it for here and first edits.

In case you haven't looked lately (I know it gets cumbersome when there's lots of comments ) this is the first feedback I noticed on your story:

in spite of the fact that the POV changes were maddening. You overcame that, or at least made them less distracting, but the story really needed some sort of differentiation between them; some warning that there was a POV shift happening.

We can only dream to one day be that famous, huh?

Ah...ok *hides blush* Fair enough...Well I guess that answers my thought...I must be doing it. I will have to look for where that comment is and see which chapter. I only started writing two years ago, and even re-editing the first few chapters of Corine I was cringing at the sentance structure and character switching. If its a newer chapter...eeeeek lol Thanks for pointing that out Selena_Kitt.x

 

[sarahhh]

I've been reading all kinds of speculation about soular, including questions as to how she got nominated as most influential author, and various other questions and allegations against her. I'd like to make a couple of things clear to everyone. Soular is a person of unmatched integrity. She is exactly who she says she is, and she has done nothing to warrant the aspersions on her character that some have made.

Soular has not only played by the rules, she has bent over backwards to be fair to the other authors on Literotica, and I can vouch for that.

All four nominations in the present contest occurred before soular was even aware of the nomination process, so she obviously had nothing to do with gaining the nominations for herself. The nominations were legitimately submitted by her readers, and the nominations were fully justified, in my opinion, including the one for most influential author.

Soular has obviously had a great deal of influence on many of her readers, as is evidenced by the number of votes she is receiving for all four awards. She also has had a good deal of influence on more than a few of her fellow authors, who have indicated this to her privately, and sometimes publicly. If there are a few Literotica authors who weren't aware of her influence before, I hope that is no longer the case.

Soular deserves every nomination, every vote, and everyone's respect.

You should submit some stories! I've seen some extraordinary fiction on this fucking porn site, and yours ranks right up there with the best of the drama queens. Kudos. Hey, but just make sure your stories have multiple chapters and a lot of very little sex.

 

[scouries]

she is NOT me!!!!!!!!!!

I, james r scouries esq.,
would like to take this opportunity to categorically deny the rumor (a rumor that I believe was started by the kitten sisters + ) that the author known as:

[size=+2]soular [/size]

is simply a pen name of LITEROTICA’S #1 AUTHOR:

[size=+2]scouries[/size]

Yes they are both wonderful authors.
Yes they’re both best sellers.
Yes there is a scourian influence evident in much of miss soulars work.
Yes there is a similarity in their names.
Yes they’re both members of the MOST COMMENTS club.

But no WE ARE NOT the same person!

Nor is she my daughter (as three or four e-mailers have recently suggested)! I just hope that one day one of my darling daughters will be able to write as well as this talented young woman can (although I am going to let the sweet [size=+2]sarahhh [/size] continue to mentor them for now).

And miss soular has promised me that my brilliant INTERRACIAL CATEGORY opus (although the work was unceremoniously put in the INCEST CATEGORY over my protestations):

[size=+3]

Becky’s South Beach Spring Break

​

[/size]

was not the starting point for her wonderful, award winning tale, Damn Dress: A Love Story, Chapters 1-10. While Brandon and Sienna may seem to have a passing similarity to Becky and Rod they are definitely original creations of the fertile soularian mind!​

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

Can you imagine a hockey team of all things trying to steal the MIAMI HURRICANES nickname? They should be taken out and shot!

Sour grapes is so ugly on some people. You should watch that Sarahhh. It might come back and bite you on the ass some day.

Welcome dear lady , this thread was incomplete without you. Now all five MOST INFLUENTIAL WRITERS have visited it.

And of course when you add in [size=+2]sarahhh [/size] and yours truly we've brought together the creme de la creme of LITEROTICA ROYALTY.

And speaking of ROYALTIES ... no, i better save that for later...

Dear DK , instead of attacking the wonderful author from Pittsburgh may I suggest that you beg this incredibly talented artist to design a cover for you?

Already AHers are flocking to her door after seeing the covers she's designed for [size=+2]freddie [/size] and I. jomar and boy have already given her cover commissions.

You would do well to avail yourself of her services. Harken back to the heady days the three of us passed writing that wonderful story...

I would sell my laptop and give up writing for good before I'd do that. I like my covers with a little class. Those that I've seen from her look like trash.

 

[BOSTONFICTIONWRITER]

Being one of the writers nominated for the Most Influential Writer for 2008, I couldn't help but notice that DanielleKitten is quickly catching up on herself, I mean, Soular.

Had I not already cast my vote for Many Feathers, I'd surely give my vote to DanielleKitten. She is the Most Influential Writer on the site.

She's shown me that if I pull all my 602 stories now, I can repost them in December and not only be nominated for the Most Influential Writer or 2009 but also win as the Most Influential Writer.

Hmm...at least in the Survivor Contest there is a rule that states you can't use stories that are reposted. I guess this contest is different. Had I been allowed to use my story, Love So Young, originally posted in 2007, but pulled for the purpose of publishing an E-book, I wasn't allowed to use the chapters that I had previously posted. It doesn't seem fair that DanielleKitten can use stories previously posted to win this contest.

I mean, I could understand if this was a different site and a different contest, but it's all under the umbrella of Literotica. I guess there are different rules for different writers, maybe that's it.

Anyway, absolutely, without a doubt, DanielleKitten is certainly the Most Influential Writer over herself, shit, I mean, over Soular.

Lol!!!!!!!!! Sorry, but if Daniellekitten is a 26 year old black female that writes stories w/ black female leads...then I'll be damned;-) But if she's not...then sorry guys, we are not one and the same. Although honestly, I'm honored if you think my writing skills are even close to hers. So thanks, I guess, for kind of a compliment. And you guys aren't so bad yourself w/ the pen...if you would just be a tad nicer...especially to someone who has never said a harsh word about you. But I guess in a way, it's another honor to have my name come up so many times in discussion...since it was clearly pointed out earlier that I would never win b/c I'm a nobody.

 

[Guest]

P.O.V. Switches

To everyone who put in some informed opinions or publishers' "rules" about POV switches, thank you! That was a very informative and inspired discussion, and I'm glad my little story could provide the impetus for it.

Oh, and Scouries: sorry, but the Hurricanes are going to beat the Pens. This soon-to-be sad Blackhawks fan predicts a rematch of the 2002 Finals: Detroit-Carolina.

EDIT: thanks for the vote and shout-out, though!

It doesn't matter that you've never said anything harsh about anyone else. No one is safe from the nastiness. As far as them thinking you're Danielle, well, welcome to the club. According to some around here, except for three or four people, we are all Danielle AND we run this site to prevent them from ever winning any contests. It couldn't have anything to do with quality of writing. In their minds, there are actually only about 8 REAL people who post there, all of the rest are alts.

Sorry, I forgot that I am DanielleKitten. I forget sometimes who I am. I tend to stay up late writing and then awaken early the next morning to write again.

Truth be told, Scouries, SelenaKitten, DanielleKitten, and I are one fat, old guy sitting in his underwear writing pornography, er, I mean, erotic literature.

You never know who is who on this board. Suddenly, there is an emergence of 23-26 female writers and that makes me wonder if some of the old(er) writers who write here aren't up to their old tricks.

The fact that you are black only demonstrates what a racist I am not. I didn't even notice you were a woman of color. It's good that we have all women and men represented whether they are lesbian, straight, black, white, gay (sorry sr71plt) bi-sexual, fat (BitchChick), deranged (BitchChick again), a pedophile (Boxlicker) or nice (me).

Oh, you didn't know that I was also a black woman? Yes, I've been a woman as long as I've been black. It's true. What is it that you don't understand about my name, Bostonfictionwriter? I write fiction about Boston.

If you ask me, I truly believe that Laurel is every personality here. Yes, she's even written the Bible, too.

Darlin', haven't you figured out yet that I'm no one but me and I only post stories as me. I know you are jealous, you've been jealous for a while but the attitude and the things you say about someone as nice as soular should keep you from winning any awards. There should be a clause stating that morons are ineligible to win.

BFW, I thought we'd decided to leave each other alone. I haven't said word one about you, but I guess you can't keep your part of the deal.

 

[sharkjcw1]

Dani,
When dealing with one of the three stoogies donot be polite. They don't understand that people can write here and be polite.

Nice to see that you are doing better. Since I am supose to be one of your ALTS, or maybe I am your sock puppet?? Don't know which I am this week, but it is very nice to see you writting again. Keep up the good work!!

There should be a clause stating that morons are ineligible to win.

BFW, I thought we'd decided to leave each other alone. I haven't said word one about you, but I guess you can't keep your part of the deal.

Ah, you broke the deal when your friends and your multiple alts nominated yourself for the Most Influential Writer of 2008 with stories that you wrote in prior years. You broke that agreement when you surpassed me in votes knocking me down to 3rd place. And you broke that peace treaty when you wrote stories under a new alt, Soular, and had all your little friends vote for you.

Deal? You don't know what a deal is or how to keep it. This is all a game to you. Me? I just write stories, only I'm not allowed to be left alone to write my stories. Matter of fact, no longer can I even write my stories under Bostonfictionwriter for fear of having them unmercifully bashed.

Now, I must write my stories under my other alts, SelenaKitten, sr71plt, Dr. Abuse, and MichChick. Damn.

If you want to keep our deal in force you must withdraw from this Most Influential Writer competition and apologize to all those who voted for you. You must tell them that you cheated and don't deserve to win. You must tell them that you haven't written anything new and don't deserve to win as the Most Influential Writer of 2008. You must tell them that your stories are as old and as tired as you are.

Ready? Go. I'll wait right here for you contest withdrawal and apology.

Well, now that she's out of the contest, I need to out Soular. Black woman my ass. We all know that when black people write the word bedroom they write it as they pronounce it as bedroo, a sure give away that she's not black.

So, now with DanielleKitten and Soular out of the Contest for the Most Influential Writer in 2008, as agreed by my dearest friend (actually, he's not really my friend at all, but he is a pedophile), Boxlicker, the pedophile, I declare myself the winner.

"On behalf of Literotica, I'd like to thank all those who voted for me and I will serve as the Most Influential Writer in 2008 by disallowing those writers who have alts to write stories or post anything to the forum boards. One name per person and that's it."

Thank you, please, no applause is necessary. Thank you, thank you.

Long Live Freddie, Bostonfictionwriter, the King of Literotica!

Please pay no attention to his Sock Puppet talking to herself.

 

[Daniellekitten]

You know, BFW, you spout words but I don't think anyone but you really goes through the problem of tring to read them. I think it's something like your writing. As for those votes, I hope Soular does win. I know you don't deserve it. I'm curious as to who voted you into the contest to begin with. They probably felt sorry for you because they know that no one of any taste would have voted you in. Anyway, BFW, if you are stating that the truce is over, fine with me. Just realize you started it again when the shit hits the fan.

QUOTE Soular …Daniellekitten is a 26 year old black female…

OK, sure, this is politics. And I’m a big enough boy to know that sometimes these campaigns can get pretty dirty. We’ve all been exposed to these “LITEROTICA attack ads” in the past.

But I believe that calling danikat a negro is going a step too far. Even for a LITEROTICA campaign. Yes she and sis have been known to stoop to some pretty cheap tricks in their never ending quest for fame and fortune.

But playing the “race card”? This is definitely a new low. :caning:

And so I, james r scouries, am standing up and calling you out on this one dear soular . I can tell you (and every LITEROTICA reader) from my own personal experience, that danikat’s ass is not black! Nor brown or gold. In fact it is so lily white that I don’t think the girl has ever been out in the sun.

Freddie Today 6:29 a.m.

C’MON YOU TWO! You are two of the most famous (or infamous) LITEROTICANS of all time. And the world of erotica is watching you.

Why not kiss and make up? Lets leave the dirty tricks and the attack ads to and . Why not take a leaf out of MF’s book. Look at the way he’s been handling himself during the election.

As to [size=+2]freddie [/size] and who voted for him – well miss kitten, I FOR ONE DID! And if anyone on this site has taste it’s certainly moi!

I'd been wondering when it would start... when she'd come out of hiding. Anyone who knows knew she wasn't one of those girls who just lie back and enjoy it. I warned my pal [size=+2]freddie [/size] last week that even though soular appeared to be his biggest opposition the real danger was serena. She'll do anythng for a threepeat.

In the last 90 minutes she's started to vote her ALTS! . So has hubby.

her MOST INFLUENTIAL WRITER vote total has gone up by 20 votes this morning...

her ORIGINAL SEX SCENE total also went up 20 votes in the last hour...

...the fight is on!

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

[size=+2]Dolphins hink less of than they do of the NY Jets…[/size]

 

[scouries]

Yes it's been confirmed!

I just checked the other four categories she nominated herself in and in every one has exactly 20 more votes than she had last night!

here are the categories in which this Sunday morning ballot stuffing is occurring:

HOW TO
REVIEWS
ORIGINAL SEX SCENE
GENRE
SEXIEST FEMALE
INFLUENTIAL WRITER

Why not tell us the name of these twenty ALTS serena ? How many computers do you use? What about he moral implications? Does the end justify the means?

It appears that MANU is going to have to get his broom out. He usually doesn't have to use it in this contest.

As far as Sarahhh's supposed talent, I still don't think much of it. So you let her do your covers, I'll keep letting someone with experience, good honest experience do mine.

Okay, at first I thought this was more in weird fun, but you guys have crossed that little line, so I appreciate all the wonderful, interesting people I met on this board, but I will step out of this discussion for good due to those comments above. Didn't know this would turn into THAT type of ridiculous crap dealing w/ race. But thank you to others who I've met. I'll post ever so often at the Author's Hangout.
