The 'How To' Contest Support Thread

[elfin_odalisque]

Yay! I caught another one!!!

Ahem. *cough*

I mean, yes, of course I will.

be in touch

 

[Aurora Black]

Is anyone else struggling with this contest?

I've been stuck for the last 3 days on mine, but that was mostly because I've never done one before (and I didn't have the foresight to take a look at one before now). But now that I've seen the great entries that are up, I'm ready to continue.

 

[elfin_odalisque]

Nope. I didn't even start. I knew one How To in my Lit career was my limit.

Doesn't it get depressing to be right all the time?

When's huntin' season open on that flying puddy tat?

Sophia Jane, your entry may not win, but you done did good. The low physical self-image most women seem to have has always puzzled me. In one sense I'm grateful for its existence for otherwise the wife-unit would no-doubt have made a much better match.

Thanks Rumple. I have no delusions that I'll win; compared to past winning scores, I'm way way too low, but the feedback I'm getting is definitely an incredible gift.

Speaking of feedback, I did respond, privately, to the negative comment. I was polite and (I think) I did a decent job of explaining my intentions, which (at least to my mind) aren't a double standard at all. I'll let everyone know how it goes. Not sure if responding was the right thing to do, even in a nice way, but I felt the need.

I'm not. Right all the time, that is. Depressed, now that's another thing entirely...

 

[RebeccaMorton]

I actually really like this contest... I enjoy the how-to's and have read a lot of the ones already written (not for the contest) for info... to each his own, right?

Right you are

 

[RebeccaMorton]

How did it do? I think it's so difficult.. Nice to see the different approaches people take though

As long as you feel better and feel you did right then that is the best you can do. Great story though.. perhaps you touched a nerve?

Quite well actually.

But now it seems like someone else wrote it.

 

[Munachi]

so...

 

[Alessia Brio]

Well, I just submitted a true contender for the last place prize: Emotional Integrity versus Sentimental Hypocrisy: Passive-aggression and the quest for balance

 

[Munachi]

well the title is quite long. with lots of complicated words.

That makes it a cinch for last.

 

[Munachi]

um... what does "cinch" mean?

 

[Alessia Brio]

um... what does "cinch" mean?

cinch n. (snch)

- A girth for a pack or saddle.
- A firm grip.
- Something easy to accomplish.
- A sure thing; a certainty.

 

[Munachi]

ah ok. so that's the trick.

Suggested Orgasm

I decided to stick my neck out again and enter another contest. The topic of hypnotically induced orgasms may be controversial, at least among readers who consider themselves knowledgable about hypnosis, but if one can't garner votes in a contest, a little bit of controversy is the next best thing.

I had hoped for some controversy to be stirred up with my contra view on global warming in the last contest, but, judging from the number of votes and reads, it was mostly ignored. I hope the title of this one will at least attract people to read it, even if the self-styled hypnotists out there may make some nasty comments.

Or maybe they won't, since it is factual and accurate and really does work.

Anyway, it should show up in a couple of days if the powers that be are on their toes.

This should be interesting.

Well, it's up. *yawn*

[sophia jane]

A sweep last night and I lost 30 votes. 30 votes??? That needed to be swept in the first 2 days?? That's amazing. And kinda weird.

 

[Guest]

I had a story go from 12,000 reads to over 60,000 reads in one night. That's also a little weird considering it's a middle chapter to a series I wrote.
