The 'How To' Contest Support Thread

[neonlyte]

Ah, but there's still plenty of time, Jams. I'm all for a sweep. I've watched everyone's scores plunge this weekend.

I've had 6 new votes, 4 of them with comments and a thermometer that belies the current drop of .10 points. Were the other 2 troll votes?

You know, I looked at mine last week, 2 days after it posted it had 34 votes and a rating of 3.23, then I was away until last evening. This morning it had 13 votes and a rating of 4.4, collected 7 votes today and still at 4.4. I just don't get how it could have accumulated 21 'no votes' on the first 2 days and then apparently nothing until today

I just RCV'd yours - I don't think I was the troll

You, darlin', could NEVER be confused with a troll.

I don't get the system either, lol. I reckon I'll just stay confuzzled.

the bill or the panties?

It was a great how-to, Neo... you gonna do part 2?

can't believe how slow the entries are trickling in....

I think with this category.... something that Rora said to me is very true... when writing the how to... the person writing it really has to know what they are talking about or do alot of research to sound like an educated voice... in all things sexual.... we tend to be more knowledgeable then most.... maybe that is intimidating.

 

[angelicminx]

Anyone else get swept? I lost 1 vote, but I lost points too. I remain confuzzled.

Lost votes, gained a percentage of a point, the trolls rushed back in and my score plummeted again. Sheesh. I'm going to start a foundation which donates lives for needy trolls.

LOL! Well, on the bright side (I have a lot of those, huh ) the last day of the contest, the votes will be swept and the winners declared before they can swoop back in again.

I did. Didn't lose many votes, and my score isn't nearly as high as it was a few days ago. Meh.

 

[sophia jane]

My scored dropped; not sure if my vote total dropped or not. I seem to hover around 4.67 and anytime I rise above it, it almost immediately drops back down.

 

[Munachi]

well i had some weird stuff at first - like, once my number of votes staid the same, but i got two or three good PCs and some good email feedback - but my score went down. ah well. now it is all more logical - the number of votes is going up by about a vote per day, and the score is going a little bit down with each vote.

I just noticed, when I click on the "How To" Page,the top banner says: "Literotica Earth How-To Contest."

As opposed to the "Martian How To Contest??"

Maybe they're considering a future contest for Alien Sex.

Votes scores....... Mine bottomed out at 3.36 on the first go round... then a sweep jumped it up to 4.47 and now.... it looks like a yo yo....

Just my ass? That's going to be a bit tricky, since I'm so attached to it...

Gee thanks, Tex. I'd like to think I'm better looking than the ET turd with a glowing finger. That thing freaks me out.

Why not donate trolls for needy lives?

Between family crises and work, just put a clean diaper on my little entry and sent him off into the big, bad world.

Just hope the trolls are bottom feeding elsewhere.

Losing points also.

In answer to your question. I gained one vote and lost ten points. Whenever I get back to 4.50, I get a vote or two and then boom! back to 4.40 It's been that way since the 14th of may. I don't care about winning. I just wish I could get people to read my 'How too" It was a fun write and just want a few readers. I had a little over 6600 yesterday but 46 votes and 13 replys. I write a loving wife story and had 60,000 hits.
So, If you're reading this note, take the time to read my 'How To' it's more of a what not to do. haha Miscues and Mistakes

Another fake How to Article

I'm getting very tired of the fake how to articles. The point of how to is to give real advice. If you want to write a funny story/article please put in in the right category which would be satire and humor.

Now, here's the point so listen real close.... I was and am giving real advice.... I can't help it if it's funny... it works for me and that's who I write for....

Maybe you should listen and quit talking.... ya might just learn something and get a life....

Thank you......
