Me too, me too! I want RCVs.

Well, I don't exactly have a contest entry but are you going to let that little detail affect your RCVs? :p

We have? :rolleyes:

Rumple "rear echelon" Foreskin :cool:

ps: I've voted on virtually every entry and will soon get to the three or four newest ones. However, I haven't left any RCV's. While part of the reason is pure old-fashioned, sorry-assed, no-account laziness, I've never gotten a handle on "How To" and have no idea what's good or bad. BUT, if it'll make anyone feel better, I'll leave a "Good luck in the contest" RCV on their entry. rf

A lament for those Lit writers, past and present tense, who haven't had a number one ranked story.

(More or less to the tune of Mr. Lonely by Bobby Vinton.)

Lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely,
I have no top ranking, of my own.
I'm so lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely
Wish I had one up high and alone.

I'm a writer, a lonely Lit writer,
With no top ranking, of my own.
That's why I'm lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely,
Oh for one story, up high on a throne.

Letters, I type lots of letters,
But get no ranking, on top and alone.
I've been forgotten, yeah, forgotten,
Oh how completely have I failed.

Rumple Foreskin :cool:

Oh, shit. I didn't mean it like that. :eek:
 
what does it mean when some of the names I see or stories on the how to contest thread are red? have they been eliminated or something? *scratches her head* or just artistic font changes? or they indicate something on the user cp?

doh nvm. think i figured it out. haha.

I think most of us have been on the top of one list or other at one time or other. At times, for instance, I have had a story post and the first ten votes are all fives. That would put me on the top of the list for that category :) but, as soon as the trolls see that, they bombard the story with their one-bombs. :( Lately, though, they have been one-bombing the story as soon as it posts, as if they are camping out and waiting for it. :(
hm well especially with the contest stories, they seem to prepare their one bombs in advance for any new story... mean trolls.
 
Yes, I had 23 votes and was doing well, score wise. But I needed those two extra votes so I added my tag below.

Now, I got my 25 votes but the last two I know were one bombs because my score dropped 1.5 points...IN TWO VOTES!

And the one posted this extremely long negative comment about people lying about themselves online. I deleted it not because it was negative but because it was so long it would have put all my readers to sleep and left me questioning the author's sanity.

It is infuriating to see your work put in the dumper by a couple of morons. And if they were so sure of themselves, why do they leave 'anonymous' comments and not sign them? I have also noticed that the ones who leave negative comments AND sign them rarely, if ever, have had anything published themselves on literotica.

In conclusion, I gave up trying to win contests on literotica a long time ago because this website is not about quality it is about quantity. Hence the only contest I have ever placed in was Survivor 2005.

I know this feeling... I have watched stories of mine crash like this...
heck I watched this how to contest one crash horribly.... 16 votes and it was rated 4.98.... that put it at the top of the list... and I simply watched it crash from there *shrugs*

I stopped watching, I don't want to know anymore

as for the comments... yeah I got ones from people saying oh you missed polyamory... I was like um you want to probably figure out the actually definitions of what I wrote about because polyamory doesnt fit... but there is no point in telling any of them that because they are so sure they are correct.
 
just btw, my second entry is up now, and is trying to reach the 25 votes in time... so... i'd be very thankful (and am to those that already voted! :rose: )

You will notice I edited out the following from my post:

In conclusion, I gave up trying to win contests on literotica a long time ago because this website is not about quality it is about quantity. Hence the only contest I have ever placed in was Survivor 2005.

Because I decided it sounded rather full of myself and upon further reflection I realized that maybe the reason I have never won any other contests on literotica is because I really do suck and have no talent as the anonymous always comment.

Giggles Again

What is really funny about this contest is I do a great deal of cybering online and I have met a lot of men doing it. Most of them turned out to be total jerks. Some I like to call friends but every time they IM me it is for only one thing. I got tired of feeling 'used' exclusively for cybersex. So now I stick to one particular website which many fellow literoticans use and I am very popular there. I also do paid phonesex on the side to make extra money. So I tend to take most of the criticism here as hooey.
 
this website is not about quality it is about quantity.

Lit's what you make of it... it can be about both.

But I know a lot of writers here who strive for and achieve excellent quality work...

(not including myself in that category) :)

Well you must be good, kitten, because you have a lot of H.
You do not get those if you write crap (notice I have only 1 H).

(I say must because I haven't had time to read that many stories on this site. I'm too busy cybering and having phone sex :p )
