Just wanted to say good luck everybody. Been out with a virus the last couple of days. And not the computer kind.
Glad to have you back

Thanks. I'll be going back to bed soon. I think I've been up and out of bed for an hour or so now. A record after the past two days.
Uh oh, I feel a zanzo question coming on:
Ladies how long can you remain horizontal?
What PL, you've only been out of bed for an hour? Uh huh uh huh uh huh.....
Hahaha. One an apparently remain mostly horizontal for the better part of 48 hours if a serious stomach virus gets hold of you. Not necessarily comfortably so, but more comfortably than being upright.
My wife had this last week, she actually called out of work, first day she's missed in four years.
When she called to tell them she wasn't coming in it took her five minutes to convince them it wasn't ajoke.
She was in bed all day and it wasn't in the Zanzo way
Today was a bad day to notice this contest since it closes in...hours
What the hell. I'm in the mood to write another short, and I think I can manage a winter theme. Here goes!
Good luck, you've got until midnight and I think that is EST, here in the US.
You pretty much "win" just by entering the contest. A contest story is listed at the top of the New list (my observation on my own stories that get posted near the top is that they get more reader attention there; your mileage may vary). It also is listed on a separate, special list, where it remains visible throughout the contest. Although your mileage may vary, I always get more reads across my story file, including way back in the file, and more author and story "favorite" votes and more e-mail comments during a contest when I have stories entered. So, just entering a story is an immediate "win."
Missed out this year.
...
I think the new favs back fires on me a little in the contests.
The most glaring example was V-Day when I put a story out in mature that also most likely could have fit in Romance(but I think mature was the right choice) it did well and I had a lot of comments and many said "going to read the rest of your stuff!"
Yeah well nothing else I have written is anything like that, its either dark, incest, or dark incest.
so many new favs un favorited me pretty quickly.
I saw it to a lesser degree in Nude Day when I did a group entry.
In Summer LOvin and Halloween I entered in incest and got a big wave of new favs and of course they pretty much stuck.
This one I'm back in group, but now at least have three stories in that category so maybe some people will check out the other two stories.
Yet another factor in the endless possibilities here.
Having work across the board, so to speak, does have it advantages. There's something for everyone.
No doubt it does and I've done some of that this year.
Last year was all about my SWB series, but this year I submitted stories in Fetish, Group, Non-Consent, BDSM and even a shot at LW.
But my true interest is incest and sometimes I look at it as writing is a good outlet for me and fun, so why make myself write what I'd rather not?
But I did make a "bucket list" of categories I want to write in and still owe myself an interracial and a Lesbian. I wanted to do a First time, but the underage rule makes that particular cat implausible to me so if I ever do one I won't submit it here.
Oh, and I'm also thinking of entering the V-day contest in Romance. So if nothing else that should lower the average score of that category next year
ETA I caught up on a few entries last night, I enjoyed Candy Cane Legs, read it out loud to the wife, so we both enjoyed
Thanks for the read and I'm glad you both enjoyed it.
No problem, I'm going to try to get to your BDSM entry as well. I didn't vote as I've heard authors votes are swept.
She voted though and I'm wondering if it will stick because her id was created from the same ISP as mine.
But my true interest is incest ...
