Mine got trashed last night... and just when it was heading for middling :rolleyes: Some people have no sense of humour.

Oh I hear you...90% of what I write I write as tongue in cheek. But some people have to take it personal. I also love when they correct my spelling and grammar in their comments. I never claimed to be perfect but at least I am out here writing and submitting and not spending all day posting negative remarks while never ever submitting a story of my own.

I deleted one comment on my How-To because the person said I mixed my pronouns and she found it hard to follow. If anyone can point out to me where I mixed my pronouns, please let me know. I don't see it. I mean if I have a blatant error at least show me what it is so I don't have to play 'Where's Waldo?'.

So, seriously, if any of you see where I mixed my pronouns, please let me know.
 
hehehe just got my best comment so far: an anonymous one, saying "I haven't read your story, but I gave you a five anyway."

I just got one of those too. I think most of us did, judging from the comments I have been reading. :D

A little while ago I went over your essay. I am something of a language Nazi, and I saw nothing wrong with it. :confused:

ah and there i thought i was special... hehe ... :D
 
hm yes i noticed there was a sweep - made one of my texts go down, while the other went up a bit, but not enough to be even close to receiving an H... ah well...
 
I lost TEN votes.....
I just BARELY have enough votes to qualify as in 26 votes....
to say that I am just.... UGH is mild
 
Seriously, how come I didn't get swept??? *pouts* I guess that means I didn't need one after all. I'm definitely not going to even be in the top ten, I bet.
 
I can't believe the amount of votes that got swept...

How to Appreciate a Woman (Sex & Death's companion piece to mine) went down from 70ish votes to 38 but the score went up from 4.65 to 4.78!! (Looks like the toplists aren't quite accurate yet...)

How to Appreciate a Man didn't move much, though...
 
The announcement is out......well done to you all!!
