Nude Day Contest Support Thread

The 'How To' Og was thinking of is:

How to get people to read your story

by whispersecret.

It is short and to the point and should be higher rated than it is.

We girls have to help Og out sometime...

Kinky, Psycho, Og, (miight either be a good title for the Great Og or the name of the law firm from hell),

When it comes to views and votes, categories count big time. When my contest entry started doing well, I checked the "tops list" in incest. The last story listed (500th) had a score of over 4.70. Compare that to some of the categories Og mentioned such has Romance and Novella.

Of course you've got to figure out how to appeal to folks who prefer stories in a particular category. My previous effort in incest with 37 votes and 8000 views proves I haven't quite mastered that particular marketing skill.

Rumple Foreskin

Ooooh, I like that...Kinky, Psycho & Og, A Professional Perv Corp.

I have one up in the Letters/Transcripts category, and that has received barely 2,000 views and 16 votes.

 

[jeanne_d_artois]

uh-huh, that av certainly helps.

I'm assuming that the general readers are attracted to the sexy french name.

The real Jeanne D'Artois was accused of being a very naughty lady. She has been dead nearly 800 years but is still remembered.

She was nothing like Jeanne d'Arc who became a saint...

Jeanne.

My real stinker, 'White Scut' is (or was) just in the Top List for Erotic Horror at a deserved 2.23.

All the Chain Stories are in their Top List.

You have to have a high scoring story to be in the Top List for Incest.

Over 100 votes? Boy, I never even make it over 50 to qualify for the winner of the month! Not till the story is up for months and months and months.



I am more than happy that my contest entry actually made it over 25 votes. It's stuck now at 29. Probably never will get more than that. LOL

The category is most important I think. And the description, that has to be provoking curiosity.



Oh well, what do I know?

you better make that 30. cheers!

 

[Black Tulip]

LOL

 

[English Lady]

Most of my stories get about 50 votes (ish) the one incest story i've done got 178 votes!!!! Alot of them within days of it being posted.


My competition entry has 38 votes which I am very happy with I'm just happy if anyone reads and feels inclined to vote

 

[The Mutt]

It is my impression that the catagory is the bigest determining factor in how many hits my stories get. Anal and Non-Consent/Reluctance seem to inspire a first day frenzy. My Celebrities stories (which I am very proud of) are slow to build.
I sometimes have a hard time deciding which catagory to put a story in, so that is often what decides me.
Question- Would a story that is clearly set in the Star Trek Universe, but contains no characters from the show, have to be put in the Celebrities catagory or should it go in Sci Fi?

I'd put it in Sci Fi if it were me.

What she said.

 

[Guest]

Lou finished and submitted her story.

Cheers.



She inspired me to write my fifth entry, just submitted.

I have completed an Incest story for the first time. It is a 'First Time' Incest - 'Virgin's Sister'.

I will be more interested than usual in the response. Incest aficionados are supposed to produce more reads in a short time than any other category but whether they will for a story by Og?

I'll have to wait and see.

Og

That's great, Og! Gonna get reading soon. (I've got LOTS of reading to do this weekend. )

I just couldn't not come here and tell ya'll my story is up.

It was up in less than six hours, I couldn't believe it!

Anyway, here's a link: Public Humiliation

It's BDSM, but there's nothing really heavy in it. The first half almost reads like and exhibitionist story, it's the second half that it really takes on a BDSM tone.

Oh, and it's been bombed already.

Cheers!

Lou

 

[neonlyte]

Great Lou,

I'll take a look later.

neon

 

[oggbashan]

Read and voted on Lou's story.

There are now 80 entries for this year's National Nude Day Contest. Is that a record? There are still a couple of days to go...

Og

 

[lewdandlicentious]

Lou's new story is up and it's really hot!

Read and vote 5 everybody, read and vote 5!!!!

 

[Guest]

Thanks, Hon.

Thanks to Neon and Og, too!

Catch you all later!

Lou

 

[doormouse]

when I wrote a third entry, I said to myself " it's qucik an dirty, don't worry about the score". Now it is bombing. I am puzzled. Is it really that bad?

I Wasn't Supposed to see Her Naked

That story was awesome sirhugs!!!!!

I thought I'd commented...

 

[doormouse]

Just a quiet boast...

WooHoooooooo M.I.K.E. is kicking butt!!!!!! LOL

(feel free to add your vote) ;-)

My first serious attempt at horror. I'm so proud heheeee

Sorry, couldn't help myself

 

[doormouse]

Re: Votes? I wish.

I have over 80 stories submitted (including my alter ego).

Only one, 'Breastfeeding Class', has more than 100 votes.

At the end of April and the first two weeks of May I submitted 10 chapters of a Fantasy story. Ch.01 had 15 votes and 4040 views. Ch.02 to Ch.10 range from 6 votes down to 2 and views from 2600 to 900. Only Ch.01 scored over the 10 votes to appear in a top list.

In June I wrote two more Fantasy Stories, 'Brigit' and 'Brigit Too'. The first has 58 votes and is on 4.83 with 4631 views; 'Too' has 22 votes on 4.82 with 2474 views. Both are high on the Sci Fi/Fantasy Top List.

My Nude Day entries (in chronological order of submission):

'Muslim Roles' (Romance) Rated 3.17. Votes 29. Views 5600.
'Pride' (Romance) Rated 4.44. Votes 68. Views 11194.
Danger! Ch.01(Novella) Rated 4.53. Votes 43. Views 6781.
Danger! Ch.02(Novella) Rated 4.59. Votes 22. Views 2474.

I have given up trying to understand the how and why of voting. I would like more votes, more views. I have reduced the length of stories both by cutting back the verbiage and breaking into logical chapters but...

Back to the wordprocessor and wait for the impact of the incest entry.

Og

For me, if a story annoys me in the first few paragraphs, I'll hit the back button and find another one to read.

They don't get a vote, nor a comment.

I guess that's the problem with my stories too. I lose them in the first few lines.

Some days, I get so disinterested in some of the stories, I take the easy way out and read one of Rumple Foreskin's stories, because I always know I'll have a satisfying read.

my two bobs.

ps. I've only read your nude day entries ogg, and they're great.

You should be proud! It was worthy of the E, and my five vote. I've left a rather long PC on it, sorry about that!

I'll email you with more and some info.

Great story!

Lou

 

[doormouse]

OMG thanks Tate!!!!!!!

I'm seriously blushing here LOL

 

[Rumple Foreskin]

OMG thanks Tate!!!!!!!

I'm seriously blushing here LOL

doormouse,

Me too. I thought your story was good, but I'm not familiar with EH so didn't trust my opinion. Lou, on the other hand, is a good writer and knows that genre.

I'd love to get an "E" or a "W" someday. And seeing an "H" beside a story of mine is a nice rush. Still, I'd rather have an "atta boy" from other writers, like the one who said, "You know, RF, for an old, semi-literate, egg-sucking dog, your writing's not all that bad, sometimes."

Rumple Foreskin

 

[cookiejar]

I'm still working my way through the contest entries. Wow that is a lot of reading, but I'm about 3/4 done.

 

[doormouse]

RF, you KNOW I love your stuff.

It's no secret. You're more than worthy of either an E or W.

There are so many talented writers on here, it amazes me that so many are unpublished!!!!!!!!


You, my friend, Rumple Foreskin, are one that should have been on paper years ago!!!!!!

 

[Alex De Kok]

Yeah, it's too much to ask

but I actually wrote a sonnet for National Nude Day! Laurel hasn't included it in the entries, which is fair enough, but it's languishing in the wastelands with 3 votes and only 55 views! It's no good me asking the poets to look at it, 'cos I don't know anyone across there, but I'd appreciate any of you guys having a look. It's the first sonnet I ever wrote, and you'll find it here.

So far as my prose entries are concerned, it looks like midtable obscurity again. Ah, well.
