Scouries scores the nude day contest entries

Scouries, I hope you will pardon me, but you are so full of it...lol. Funny boy aren't you. No nudity for me, not since my back surgery, ugly scar is too much for me to look at.

NOTE TO SCOURIES:

hey, if you're going to continue with these reviews (now that we've hijacked your thread for debates and all :)) ...

you might want to take a look at this:

Annual Nude Day Contest Rules

specifically THIS:

Story must have a Nude Day theme: public nudity, exhibitionism, clothing (or the lack thereof), skinny-dipping, etc.

It does NOT say the story should be set on or around Nude Day. Any of the above are considered acceptable entrants and ON TOPIC/THEME...

Just sayin...


--------

edited to add: You may want to reassess 10 out of your 11 story reviews based on the above information and my comments are in ALL CAPS below:

STORY 1 – ‘The Emperor’s New Suit’ by Selena Kitten

I just don’t see how this story ties into the theme.

STORY 2 ‘Sue: Her Night Out’ by Caprine

“You lost points because the story seems to have nothing to do with the stated contest theme.”

STORY 3 ‘Change’ by rrickgauer


“But what does this story have to do with Nude Day?”

STORY 4 ‘A Big Weekend’ by Ted-E-Bare

“You also have a great avatar these days.”
ME: WHAT IN THE WORLD DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH THE REVIEW?

“you just used the first paragraphs to comply with the theme. Then you immediately dropped the nudism angle and started a completely new story. I was tempted to give you a 1 or 2 for your subterfuge but I couldn’t…suggest you go spend a week at a nudist resort.”

STORY 5 ‘Tempted’ by flamekitten

“when I see kitten in an author’s name I get nervous. They seem to be taking over the place. Could this just be a nom de plume for someone ineligible to win otherwise?”
ME: THE IMPLICATION HERE IS HEINOUS AND UNCALLED FOR.

“But, another story not on theme.”

STORY 6 ‘Pris’ by huylhuylhuyl

“what does this story have to do with Nude Day? Nothing! It’s a piss off to have to give a three when it could have been a 4 or 5.

STORY 7 ‘Nina’s Ride’ by 72BMWR75

“nothing to do with nudism.”

STORY 8 ‘If Clothes Make the Man’ by Salvor-Hardon

“We have enough essay contests around here. This is a fiction contest.”
ME: ALL CATEGORIES ARE ELIGIBLE TO ENTER. THIS IS NOT A FICTION CONTEST, IT IS A NUDE DAY CONTEST. HOW TO AND ESSAYS ARE ELIGIBLE TO WIN.

STORY 9 ‘A Painted Lady’ by Elayne


“Its one fault is it didn’t have much to do with Nudism or Nude Day. Just a darn good erotic tale.”


STORY 10 ‘Sexual Politics’ by Neonlyte

“The Nude Day parade angle seemed like a last minute gimmick thrown in only to qualify a story, already written (or planned), for the contest.”

Right on Girl!! Right on target!
 
Fantasy vs. Reality

STORY 28 – ‘A Day at the Beach’ by FunDareGuy

... 4 No sex but this is so true to life.

Now, its off to the beach for me…


Where do the rules of this contest or for any contribution in any cagtegory for monthly contributions say that the story has to be true to life or "real?" (realistic) Most, though not all, of the stories on this site are only stories of f a n t a s i e s! As such, they don't have to be entirely realistic.
 
This was probably the most dramatic thread I've ever read.


Nice job Scouries, way to stay true to yourself. (Aside from the insults towards kitten, there you were just being a jerk)
 
Public Apology to Miss SelenaKytten

I didn’t see any new stories this morning so decided to write the following, something I should have written before. Tonight I got home and found all sorts of new stories…hopefully I’ll have them all rated soon.

Public Apology to Miss SelenaKytten

Quite simply, I’m sorry that this thread and my words so hurt Miss SK.

My last thought when I started it was that I’d somehow so outrage her.

I chose her story to be the first one reviewed, not as part of some sly plot, but simply because it was the first one I read. I wish now it had been the seventh or eighth reviewed so that she’d have read it in the context of how I was scoring all the stories. Reading it now I stand by what I wrote there. I simply didn’t particularly care for that submission. However, I still agree with what I wrote in the first line of that review, ‘Miss Kitten is simply one of Lits best authors’.

I do apologize for the second review. After her reaction to the first, a reaction that completely surprised me, I definitely wasn’t going to seriously review her new story. My plan was to tease and chide a little. But, I completely regret these words, ‘and spared us another fairy tale disaster’. I have no excuse for them. I will excise them from the original.

Even if I felt more than provoked, even if I felt her posts were dishonest and petty, I should never used those cruel words, words I knew would only fan her anger. I forget sometimes how seriously many of you take your writing.

To me it’s just an amusing pastime. Over the past year I’ve received a slew of posted comments and e-mails on my stories – some very complimentary, others vicious attacks that have accused me of everything under the sun. I actually like getting both kinds, prefer bad comments and votes to none at all. However, I should know by now, how for many of you, just how important every vote is.

One poster on the thread mentioned how sensitive writers are; I feel my biggest crime is ignoring this fact. I’ve never reviewed stories like this before and ended up here trying to treat your stories as I would professional submissions.

The rest of the second SK review was meant in fun. The later claim someone made that I was charging her with plagiarism is silly, to anyone who has read her and my work this is immediately obvious. SK writes original and fun works that certainly owe nothing to me. The idea of her as an acolyte to me is absurd and I’d assumed everyone would take it as such. (Besides, this girl is like twenty some years older than me! JOKE)

I should have known better than to try to use humor against someone who is irate and acknowledge now that this later review was too much like waving a red flag in front of an enraged bull.

Please accept my apology; this little thread is not important enough for anyone to have a heart attack over, you are a wonderful writer.

STORY 42 – ‘Cachoeira (The Waterfall)’ by themarquise

STORY 42 – ‘Cachoeira (The Waterfall)’ by themarquise

A combination of two old erotic standards – the girl alone in the jungle story and the girl taken by a god story.

3 I thought it was done relatively well. Not great, but it had an interesting setting, so-so buildup and good sex.
 
STORY 43 – ‘Love, Sex, and Promises’ by AsylumSeeker

STORY 43 – ‘Love, Sex, and Promises’ by AsylumSeeker

I liked the way you asked for votes – I wish everyone did the same. Higher reader participation can only make the contests better. Certainly the strangest story I’ve read in the contest. Still not sure what to make of it.

3 I liked it. Found the first part disjointed and odd, then all of a sudden we are somewhere else. Too weird to be really erotic and have no idea how the average Lit reader will react to it.
 
STORY 44 – ‘Visualization’ by stubborn wench

STORY 44 – ‘Visualization’ by stubborn wench

Did you write this story Miss… (and I definitely don’t mean you SK. This story does remind me of another Lit writer – I actually sent him an e-mail asking him if he wrote it)

2 Sorry, the non-erotic on literotica just isn’t my bag. I definitely don’t want a story like this to win contests on a site that exists only due to the sex industry and their clients.
 
STORY 45 – ‘Naked, I’ by Unsung Muse

STORY 45 – ‘Naked, I’ by Unsung Muse

Like I did with AliciaNightOrchid, my first thought after reading this was, ‘what the heck is this girl doing here’.

5 I had no need for my various measuring sticks. It’s a 5! Hot, well written erotica! Read it!
 
STORY 46 – ‘Daddy, I’m Naked!’ by sarahhh

STORY 46 – ‘Daddy, I’m Naked!’ by sarahhh

Without doubt this is the author I’ve been looking forward to reading more than any other. A good writer in a category and with a theme built for her talents.

3 It’s hard not to love any story by sarahhh. Yet this one disappoints. I’m not sure if it’s fair to compare this to other stories you’ve written but its impossible not to. Not up to the standards you set in the How To Contest. Perhaps we’re having too many contests? Maybe you better give your poor daddy a break?

Why aren’t you writing for the Comedy Network? You are too good, you’re simply wasted here.

you know I never had a problem with your reviews... still don't... I have a problem with the motivation behind them. I was quite stunned that you (and a few others) didn't "get" my "little fairy tale." But as Lauren said, feedback is feedback, good information.

I did hear your compliment, thank you. And I accept your public apology, although it was really not necessary. No hard feelings here, honest.

I do want to say that I've noticed your reviews in the past few days accomodating the spirit of "Nude Day" themes more... appreciate that...

and I appreciate your honesty. Always have.

And one of these days, someone will spell my name right! ;)
 
STORY 47 – ‘Nature wooed me’ by anthonyparallel

STORY 47 – ‘Nature wooed me’ by anthonyparallel

Don’t know if this is a serious entry or not. A skinny male Texan writing a female masturbation story?

1 Didn’t like it at all.
 
STORY 48 – ‘The Selkie’ by MayhemLass

STORY 48 – ‘The Selkie’ by MayhemLass

If I had submitted this story it would have languished in Literotica’s never, never pending land for weeks before being rejected for bestiality. I tried once to have a human couple make love among a school of thrashing dolphins and was forced to rewrite it. And it didn’t even include any human-dolphin sex!

4 Well written, the scene set perfectly. Simply excellent! Great sex!
The only thing that kept me from giving it a 5 was that the whole time I was reading the lovemaking part I kept waiting for the girl to turn back into a seal. The contemplation of the possibilities (how do seals fuck anyway?) kept distracting me from your excellent story.
 
STORY 49 – ‘Nude Secretaries Day’ by Totzman

STORY 49 – ‘Nude Secretaries Day’ by Totzman

Another new member! This is the sixth time in the contest a writer has posted their first story. Four of them joined Lit since the contest started. I have no idea if this is normal and legit or if there truly are alts out there.

4 Really well written, humorous concept exploited perfectly. A nice light read completely in keeping with the theme. Read it.

Up to date again. But one story seems to have disappeared – I’ve rated one more story than appears on the list? 49 rated – three 5’s, nine 4’s, one ?, twenty-two 3’s, ten 2’s, three 1’s, one A+.
 
STORY 50 – ‘Joy and Pleasure’ by Kev H

STORY 50 – ‘Joy and Pleasure’ by Kev H

If he had at least tasted some of the sweet girls milk, then I….

2 Actually a nice, cute story. Well written. Not enough sex but just the thought of milky breasts is enough for me. A good read.

I’ve been trying not to mention in my reviews lately that various stories have nothing to do with the theme (due to repeated carping). I have however, still been making that aspect an important part of my scoring. What this one has to do with Nude Day baffles me.
On my overall scoring list, only 18 of the fifty stories so far rated have a star (a star awarded to signify a Nude Day story) next to them. Those 18 (only 36%) are the only ones I consider legitimate entries in my Nude Day contest. Before you start to complain, I’ll concede simply that I have a different idea of what a Nude Day story should be than many of you.
I have to warn you though; my seven prizewinners in this contest will come only from stories with these little stars.
 
STORY 51 – ‘Epicurean’ by SelenaKittyn

STORY 51 – ‘Epicurean’ by SelenaKittyn

Now this authoress can write a story on theme! This one gets a star.

4 Another good read from Miss Kittyn (hopefully spelled right this time, my spell checker rejects her every time). Were you a man in a previous life by any chance? You seem to have a very good take (for a female) on the male’s predatory instincts. Although for me these wolfish lusts usually occur in a club around one in the a.m.; strangely the nude beach is a relatively tame place. I noticed how you snuck in the daughter right at the end. Your story did remind me of the following:

True Story - I actually got a hard-on on the beach last month (a relatively rare occurrence on a nude beach, by the way). A tall, young blond, so sexy, drew my eyes as she passed. Twenty yards down the beach she stopped, turned and came back, finally putting down her towel maybe ten feet from me. I watched her as she quickly pulled her top over her head, and felt that hardening you describe so well as her breasts appeared.
She sat, her back to me, and then pulled her shorts and panties off, then lay on her stomach, leaving me without a look at her sex. I tried to watch her surreptitiously; although her wry smile every time she glanced my way told me she knew my thoughts, sensed my desire…
Finally I saw my girlfriend arrive, stood, embraced her, and then heard,
“Oh my god, look scouries,” she hissed looking over my shoulder, “that chicks got a prick!”
The blond had flipped onto her back. Jesus H Christ…she did have one. Of course, curiosity finally got to my daughter and I and we went over and introduced ourselves…and then…but that’s another story…

Did I really see on todays new story list that you’ve now become a critic? Are you again trying to emulate your muse? No ‘scouries’ story in the all-time top ten? Pshaw on you, you’re no fun!
 
STORY 52 – ‘My Exhibitionist Wife Ch. 2’ by nightimestories

STORY 52 – ‘My Exhibitionist Wife Ch. 2’ by nightimestories

Unfortunately this was part 2. I have way, way too much reading to be able to read part 1 and get caught up.

2 Actually a pretty good story – the low vote reflects the fact it’s not an original story for the contest. These car driving/exhibitionist stories can be great; almost all of us have had some experiences (either as the watcher or the watched) in this area, and stories like this always evoke some humorous memories.
 
STORY 53 – ‘Witches’ by CapriciousLass

STORY 53 – ‘Witches’ by CapriciousLass

I like it! Who are you really anyway?

3 Well written, lyrical, sexier than some of your other work. An excellent read. It was a tough choice between a 3 or 4. But in the end you seemed never to decide whether the witches were evil or just playful. Whether it was a moral tale or simply a sexual romp. It might have been better if it had been simply called ‘Three Lusty Maidens’, put in the Erotic Coupling category, and the distracting Master and the background mumbo jumbo left out.
It was very good though.

53 rated – three 5’s, ten 4’s, one ?, twenty-three 3’s, twelve 2’s, three 1’s, one A+.
 
You seem to have a very good take (for a female) on the male’s predatory instincts. Although for me these wolfish lusts usually occur in a club around one in the a.m.; strangely the nude beach is a relatively tame place.

but if I put it at a club at 1 am... it wouldn't be "on-theme" would it? :)

“that chicks got a prick!”

*cracking up*

Did I really see on todays new story list that you’ve now become a critic? Are you again trying to emulate your muse? No ‘scouries’ story in the all-time top ten? Pshaw on you, you’re no fun!

Been one, long before you started this thread... look up at the top of the threads in the Author's Hangout under "new story reviews."

as for you stories, would you like us to start a thread JUST for you? :devil:

5 I had no need for my various measuring sticks. It’s a 5! Hot, well written erotica! Read it!

I completely missed this thread. Thank you very much for the favorable feedback! I do hope you're not giving me special treatment just because we're both in South Beach ;)
 
STORY 54 – ‘Variations on a Nude Theme’ by oggbashan

STORY 54 – ‘Variations on a Nude Theme’ by oggbashan

Certainly different. And interesting. Very ‘on theme’.
Should I consider this a chapter 2 and penalize it?

3 I wasn’t quite sure how to compare it to the others. It’s like comparing apples and oranges – not fair to either. Worth reading. Shows great skill.
 
STORY 55 – ‘Hooters Pool: A Love Story’ by satyricon.21

STORY 55 – ‘Hooters Pool: A Love Story’ by satyricon.21

Like the rumpled one’s, it certainly discussed body image from a different perspective. Still a stretch for Nude Day even with the ending.

3 A high three. A good read. Enjoyed the fact there was dialogue, and that there was a real story, not just a sexual encounter. Liked that it was a 2006 story and reflected real events. Good sex. Once in a while, although not too often, it’s fun to read an erotic tale where the participants aren’t perfect.
Felt it might have been better just to have ended it with the line ‘Yup. And don't plan on being on the pill for ever.' three quarters of the way down page two.
 
STORY 56 – ‘Miss Nude Pie 2006’ by froghills

STORY 56 – ‘Miss Nude Pie 2006’ by froghills

Unfortunately the first long paragraph was so hard to get down that I never could get back into the story.

1 And then it simply got harder and harder to read…I couldn’t finish the first page.
 
STORY 57 – ‘The Straits of Juan de Fuca’ by buntinggurl

STORY 57 – ‘The Straits of Juan de Fuca’ by buntinggurl

I was sure I had read a story already from this author but couldn’t find it on the list today. I finally found it on my master list of stories read. It seems to have disappeared; at least this explains why my numbers weren’t adding up.

Again, for me, this story really wasn’t on theme. Very erotic at times.

3 Confused by the shifts, felt the paragraph starting ‘how a man she trusted and loved’, could have been left out. For the rest of your story I was waiting to hear what this guy had done to her. I was actually afraid the guy with the dog on the beach might turn out to be the bad guy. But, not bad overall.
