The How To Contest Support Thread

hehe

MarshAlien said:
Tell me, ML, what are these sweeps that everyone is so concerned about? Do you have 32 votes one day and then 23 the next? Do I still need to get all my friends to come and vote? No, wait a minute, they both voted already. Anyway, what's the scoop? Fill a virgin in, wouldja? Ooh, that doesn't sound right.

32 is unfortunately very shaky. I went from 50 to 24 on the Halloween Contest, and did not qualify. Alas, it got me my Last Place (tm) award.

On the other hand, in the Valentine's contest, the winner won with something like 27 votes. I was one of them, and her very last votes might have come out from the AH thread. Now, isn't that romantic?

The less votes you have, less stable your score is likely to be, and all the more likely a sweep will do something dramatic.

Mine sucks completely (no pun intended).

Flash Fic Thread

A Link in Verse

The Poetry Corner is way over there.
So, demanding a rhyme isn't quite fair.
I've made you a poem with lines to spare.
Now, go write a story that we can all share.

Your poem's very clever,
I'd never say never,
but Flash Fic appears to take skill.
I'm an indifferent scribbler,
less fluid, more dribbler,
but I'll give it a try, yes I will.

I didn't even think about asking friends to vote! Do I have friends? Let me think...

I already voted on yours (well done, too). Does that make me a friend? That makes three. Ooh, we can play bridge.

I am sitting with 55 votes right now, so it will be interesting to see when a sweep comes along what happens to them.
Pretty surprising since I didn't submit it until this past weekend.

I feel like I've stumbled across the Dr Seuss thread!

Thanks for the vote Marsh. Now I have a whole 22!

Your how-to was very funny. :)

That's a very bad attitude, young lady. Shame on you. I thought it was very good, and, as I remember, invited you, in my comment, to come to my house. (Haven't heard from you yet - "in the mail" probably, huh? Figures.)

Thank you. Kind of you to say so.

You know, writing that puts me in mind that I have to write a story that lets me use this line from "My Fair Lady: "How kind of you to let me cum."

22 votes is pretty good, considering it was posted yesterday at noon. I'm sure it will go up. The Memorial Day Weekend is when I try to catch up on my porn.

How do you know that? he asks suspiciously. Because when I go to my, um, place where you find that out, it only shows 29. And 22 plus 10 is, let's see, six and five is two, carry the four - well, more than 29, at any rate. Is there a scorecard somewhere that nobody's told me about?

Yes, normal people will go on vacation. If we just depended on them, this wouldn't be much of a site, would it?

I thought when you said "32" you actually meant you had 32 votes. My bad! :eek:
 
Stop quibbling and go write some car stories. :cathappy: They don't have to be very good and they don't have to be exactly 100 words. If you're number 10, you get to change the topic, too.

You're all newbies. You probably should be paying more attention to the good little witch....

I have had more trouble with witches since I started posting on this site . . .

And I may be a newbie when it comes to contests, or posting, but I have a grand total of . . . let's see, one, two, three, carry the two, eleventy, limpety- six, oh the hell with that, too . . . many stories on Literotica.

I thought Glyndah was a good witch? :eek:

And you would think SweetWitch would be a sweet witch, wouldn't you? Well, you would be - excuse me, I have to go. I have a private message coming in.

The minimum number of votes required for a story to be eligible is 25. There is still time to acquire the 25. Shameless begging for votes sometimes helps. ;)

You bet. If not for shameless begging, I would have never gotten laid back when. Come to think of it, I still wouldn't.

I always related to James Brown and the Famous Flames singing, "Please, please, please, please."

Rumple Foreskin :cool:

ps: Most inspiring AV, Angel. And thanks for the RV and especially your C. rf

Hello y'all :)

Haven't been around much due to work ... it's a sad, sad day when employers expect employees to actually get anything done ...

Anyway, I think I've managed to vote on each story (I think), even when didn't have time to comment. For those of you competing for last place, I very carefully 5-bombed you, just to be eeeeeeee-vil. :devil:

(Lucky for you it's Wednesday. On Fridays I try to be annnnnnnn-vil)

I just wanted you to know that I read your very nice story. I would have left a comment, but that would have meant voting and God forbid that I be the one to deny you an opportunity for the Last Place (tm) Award. Actually, God forbid you find out that I be the one, but I assure you that I didn't. Be the one.

On Saturdays, I like to be weeeee-vil. Unless it falls on New Year's Day, when I like to be a bowl weeeee-vil. Sorry.
