Nude Day Contest Support Thread

[Dingus Guy]

Thanks

It's ok, I like a bit of horror I just wanted to be prepared for what I might be reading along the way. It was a cute story in the end, the toilet seat ritual had me giggling!

Yeah I been thinking about doing a little humorous piece for a while involving the bathroom emergency with all the usual bells and whistles that you might find in the bathroom. I got one email from someone who said I forgot to add the infamous hair on the seat. That alone gives me chills. Anyway thanks for your feedback.

Stripped of Dignity

This story would have been rated much higher if it had NOT been entered in the contest. People are probably reacting to the fact that there is no direct relationship to National Nude Day, no sex, no people. If it was submitted after the contest, I bet the rating would be significantly higher

If you are talking about me, then let me tell you the story is doing better than I expected and people are telling me how funny they think it is. That is reward in itself. I am not trying to win, just trying to get my story to be enjoyed by a few who like that kind of bathroom humor.

Now if you are not talking about me, nevermind...

Dingus,

Clean out your PM box!

Dingus, read better!

Dear Dingus.....I'm not talking about you at all....the title of my thread was Stripped of Dignity, which is a story in the Nude Day Entries. Your story starts with Food, etc., which doesn't even remotely resemble Stripped of Dignity. So, you are apparently reading a bit too fast. As I mentioned in my public comment to your story, you are a great writer of sex scenes. Unfortunately, you chose to hone in on the bathroom humor, prolonging what could have been explained in two paragraphs. I am a bit surprised that anyone besides a 13 year old that reads old MAD magazines would think what you wrote is even remotely funny. Says a lot about the Literotica readership, doesn't it?

Hi Sack

I take your point.

Lets look at some figures, Stripped of Dignity has some 4k views and 16 votes. It either receives 1 or 5 votes, as far as I can tell nothing in between.

Most of the 5 voters have communicated with me in one way or another with supportive comments.

In terms of votes/hit 0.4% is just about average for Lit. If I'd posted it outside of the competition it probably would not have received the same number of views, I have spicy, sexy stories posted with less views.

The view I took was to stretch the definition of 'nudity' and post the piece with a warning notice that it contained no sex. My objective was to push at a piece of descriptive text and see how it was received.

A unique aspect of Lit is the guarantee of readership, competitions more so. If you want to test a piece of writing, post it in a competition, but understand that if you push at the rules you cannot expect to suceed in the competition. I posted this piece with my eyes open.

One point that is curious is that the piece has a fairly 'sexy' title, Stripped of Dignity. The reader cannot see the 'no sex' notices until they have opened the story, yet the number of views are extremely low for a competition entry.

Thanks for your thoughts and vote.

Sorry Sack, my Bad! Your comment followed mine and i forgot the "stripped of dignity" thread title.

Sorry you think that it is a 13 yr old mentality to read such a story. It shows though that people can laugh at the little things no matter how gross they might seem to you. It is called diversity. If we were all the same, then there would be no Literotica, amongst other things. Be thankful for that.

I think most of us would secretly like to act/think like a 13 year old some days.

Who wants to be old and boring???

Door, boring is not the sole property of the "old".

Nope. My kid brother is 23 and he could send a plank of wood to sleep.

Love 'im.

Ok, I'll buy that (this time). P.

 

[gauchecritic]

I don't think age or interest has anything at all to do with how high up you are... oh attitude. Right. Sorry.

I am so slow today, Gauche. I read your post then reread the few atop, then yours again and finally got the larf.

Hello Wills,

Re your comment on "Stripped of Dignity" (which I read, voted and sent some feedback on) - You said:


"One point that is curious is that the piece has a fairly 'sexy' title, Stripped of Dignity. The reader cannot see the 'no sex' notices until they have opened the story, yet the number of views are extremely low for a competition entry. "

I was wondering if perhaps, while it has a sexy title, it could also have been perceived as having a connotation of force or an element of non-consent. From my own personal experience, stories in the non consent/reluctance category are generally not received well in contests. My story had a title which didn't blatantly indicate that it was non-consent and so I did get more views, but even then a lot of the feedback was couched with 'I don't normally read stories in this category, but..."

I could be wrong, but it's a possibility which could explain the drop in views.

I hadn't thought of that, you may be right.
Of course, after posting I realised the catagory displayed on the New list would be non-erotic, in hindsight, whilst it was on the new list it received less that 500 views! The majority of views are from the competition listing.

Incidently, your PM box is full Will catch up with you later.

I had two stories that got posted.... I am not eligible to win the contest because of the earth day one but i find this truly hilarious


Dr. Jackson's Idea
3.51 rating
70 votes (i woke up one morning and this was at 70, the lil program was run and it was at 59...LOL... a slew of one votes thank you very much)
23374 number of reads


Superstitions Ch. 01
3.59 rating
27 votes
2891 number of reads

Does this get me last place or is someone beating me at that too...????

 

[Black Tulip]

I'm not too far behind I think. But with a score of 4.42, 38 votes and 3192 views I am doing not bad enough. LOL

Is there a last place price for the month? That I think has to be mine for: Superstitions Ch. 05 Primroses.
The rating is magnificent 5.00, but it got only 5 votes and 703 views.

 

[ruminator]

Mine was consistently in the mid 4.** until last evening. Somewhere after it hit around 45 votes, it took a dive down to 3.9*, but it's climbing back. I'm new to this so the scores aren't as important to me as they might be one day. I'm still in the stage where I'm just happy people are seeing it.

That's the best attitude, rumi. The only cost for entering Lit writing contests is putting up with the one-bomb trolls. Laurel will weed out most of them before the final count but until then they do give the scores some interesting ups and downs.
