[dreampilot79]

my story has slipped about three points in three days
is it possible people are sending me glowing feedback, then voting me 4's?
maybe next year we'll have a mediocrity contest

 

[dreampilot79]

methinks it could be a foot race for third...

Don't you just love some typos? EL, I bet if you asked your husband "pretty please" he'd be more than willing to help check our your CORE. .

Best I can tell, I lost a couple votes from my last story (the one I was beggin' for votes like Buford the Beagle for a bone) but the score's about the same.

The following is a Rumple Reflection about chain stories/series. I tried a semi-series deal. Posting all three in the same category (Humor) and having the beginning of the titles similar: WC 102, WC 103, etc., but with their own unique title.

The usual pattern with series is the number of views and votes drops off with each new submission but the score improve. The theroy being only those who liked previous posts continue reading.

Strictly FYI, my stories followed a similar pattern EXCEPT the score of each new post was lower than the previous one (wouldn't you know). The scores didn't drop much, but they did drop.

As for chain stories, I've got a hunch they need an active "cheerleader" and are a "the more the merrier" deal. There were so many participants in the Lit Olympics chain story, it seemed that if everyone voted for everyone else, just about everyone would qualify. However, only the person with the highest score earned a W, rats.

With a tinge of regret because my Earth Day masterpiece lies still born - the damn heroine wouldn't stop saving the planet to get down and dirty - my heartfelt thanks to all those who have given so much pleasure.

From Lustful Leeves, through Wodehouse College not mentioning all the other stories I've read and enjoyed - a heartfelt thankyou for some superb enjoyment.

May the best author win/lose!!

Tell me, am I the only one still giggling over the thought of Ogg upside down in a sleeping bag, giving tongue and protecting wild birds? Do I need to get help?

I'll give you a run for your money for Nude Day. The Right Rev Rumply goes to England on a missionary trip and finds Ogg sunbathing only wearing his birdsnest hat. One thing leads to another and when the hedgehogs appear...

Tune in late June and all will be revealed.

Man-oh-man, there's no reason to bother entering the Nude Day contest. That story is bound to be a slam-dunk winner, whether of first or last place, I'm not speculation.

Can I take that as an OK?? The girl's got ideas y'know>

It's a problem, big A. I try to leave a PC whenever I vote as a reminder. But not everyone has the PC function turned on. If you do happen to vote twice there's probably no harm done since Laurel will sweep one of them out.

[elfin_odalisque]

If you throw in the towel, does that mean I get to see your dangly bits??

How are you with hedgehogs if Ogg doesn't want to play??

Love the Rhino AV. Are there any spare places in the balloon for nude flight day?

Slipping them off already - hee - catch.

covers his dangly parts with his hands... (it takes two hands to handle a whopper)

Lots of room... we'll tether.. would be hard to explain to the farmer why we were neked when we landed... just hold on to the retaining strap!!!

Is the restraining strap what I think it is??

Can it take the strain?

probably.. and maybe it's due for a strain test.. pull away... one hint... repetitive pulls are better for the test than one long hard tug
