Oh, how I do love it when you fall on your face and make up something so incredibly absurd to "cover" your failure, scouries.

You don't even know how idiotic this one was *laugh*

****

Congratulations on attracting so many readers to your story ( airhead awards aside ) alwayswantedto. There were quite a few contest stories in the high-read categories, and you left 'em in the dust.

Here's to hoping that it translates out into increased reads on everything you release from now on

[size=+2]THREADMASTERS STATEMENT OF INTENT[/size]

This is the ULTIMATE “Story Feedback” thread.

The purpose of this thread is to identify and honor those authors who entered a LITEROTICA “Special Contest” and who had their story signaled out by the vast LITEROTICA reading public.

In the past many readers have complained that the OFFICIAL LITEROTICA awards do not truly reflect the will of the people, that instead they’ve become the playthings of the elitists of AHland, a group that continually expresses their disdain for the average men and women who flock to this site every day to read our stories.

And so the ASSOCIATION of INDEPENDAT READERS was born. In each contest the stories that receives the “MOST VIEWS”, the “MOST VOTES”, the “MOST COMMENTS” and has the “HIGHEST RATING” will each receive an ASSOCIATION of INDEPENDENT READERS (AIR) award. It'll be our readers direct feedback, not some backroom politicking, that will decide these winners!

Going forward AIR hopes to present these awards at the end of every special contest in 2010 and with the help and financial backing of ScouriesWorld we envision holding an annual awards gala in Miami Beach every February (probably in conjunction with the annual 1000+ VOTES CLUB meeting and the ScouriesWorld Winter Seminars.

We of course welcome feedback (on this thread and to the winners directly) from LITEROTICA'S reading public.​

Gabby
President
Association of Independent Readers

Whether or not if what this man or woman writes is true or invented, we don't know which, whether Scouries is paid or not, in the scope of things, it really doesn't matter. What matters is that he or she is, bar none, is the most creative person on this site. No one does it better. No one puts on a better show.

"Bravo! I applaud you. I'm giving you a standing ovation for all that you've done to entertain us all. Bravo!"

The fact that none of you see that, not TX, Michchick, DB, Ace and others, or won't admit it, tells me that you not only are jealous of his talents but also you fear him or her. Why is that? Why can't you take all of this for what it is? Why do you have to pee on Scouries parade. Is it that you don't have the creative talent to blow up your own balloons?

Whether it is with images, words and/or statistics, every one of Scouries posts are informative, as much as they are creatively entertaining. If Literotica isn't paying this person for doing this, while putting up with all your disrepectful shit, he or she should be paid for what he or she does. I, for one, love reading his or her posts.

Without a doubt, I'd miss this cyber personality, should he or she ever take your advice and leave this site. I dare say that all of you would miss he or she, too.

Instead of chastising and belittling him or her constantly, why not embrace his or her talents for entertainment and revel in his or her ability to do just that on, what would otherwise be without him or her, a boring site.

Keep it coming, Scouries. You do all of this for our enjoyment without the respect and the gratitude of all who love to hate you.

It's interesting to watch these three stand on the field of battle and keep looking nervously behind them for all those supporters their little thumbs created--and finding no one.

Very entertaining. They brought their own shovels to do their own digging.

I think the supporters just vote and shut up.

But, who would take over the entertainment thread? Certainly, it wouldn't be the serious authors around here.

sr71plt said:

Oh, there's happy entertainment, and then there's obnoxious whining and lying entertainment. We might try with some of the former for change--I think some of your posts fit in the happy entertainment field.

It would be a refreshing change to have more to laugh with rather than to laugh at.

Scouries and BFW are much more concerned about looking behind them for you than I am. I can tell a limp dick when I hear one. The only supporter of yours I am aware of is the one you wear on your head with the crotch under your nose.

BOSTONFICTIONWRITER said:

I don't get it. Am I the only writer here who agrees with you and who thinks you are right? Or is it that the other writers who write here don't publicly support you for fear of retaliation in the way that they ostracized me, took away all my red H's, bashed all my stories, lied about me, and treated me with disrespect?

The fact remains that we writers who write and post are stories here are fools. We not only write for free but also we are not treated very well. So, why do we continue to write here? There aren't very many places to post what we write. Yet, it's painfully obvious that the contests are not fairly run. It's always the same people winning. Why is that? It's sad that we writers put such effort and creativity in our stories only to be used.

Surely, with nearly 50,000 writers and with typically a pool of 60-120 stories entered in the monthly contests, there's enough stories for various authors to win. Yet, time and again, it's the same names appearing on the list. I don't get it. Why is that? How can any one writer win more than once in the course of a year, when there are so many talented writers writing so many great stories?

Granted the winning stories, usually, are good and the writers who write them, usually, are talented, but their winning stories are no better than some of their others that were written by writers who are equally as talented.

Is it that Literotica has favored sons and daughters, plants, so that they can make it appear that there is a legitimate contest and they are paying out real money or is the whole thing a sham?

If it smells like a fish...these contests are fishy to me.

Now, had the winner of the Earth Day contest entered his story in the Survivor Contest, it would have been disqualifed as a templated story. Correction. I apologize. If I had entered a story, such as the one that won in the Earth Day Contest, it would have been disqualified as a templated story. Further, had I entered a story, such as the story that won the Earth Day contest, it would have been disqualifed as a chapter story. Go figure. It sure smells fishy to me.

Every AH regular would have railed against the dreaded Bostonfictionwriter, Scouries, and Sarahhh, had we won. No fear, we'll never win a contest here. Not that we aren't talented writers, who create wonderful stories, you tell me why?

Yet, those who haunt the forum board 24/7 and who have amassed tens of thousands of posts, we all know who they are, by their avatars that they truly believe represent them in real life, embrace their familiar winner again and again.

It's time the contests were open for every writer to have an equal chance to win. This voting system is not working. We need a panel of judges, that change with each monthly contest, to vote for the winning stories.

I'm disappointed with the way that contests are judged here. It's insulting. Nonetheless, I'll continue to write my stories. I just wanted to post my opinion.

Only, I'm curious. Who's turn is it to win the Nude Day contest? I'm sure the winner has already been chosen the the winning story decided. I'd just like to know in advance so that I won't waste my time voting on stories that don't have a chance in Hell of winning.

Let's have a contest that doesn't list who wrote the story. Yeah, sure, it's not a perfect fix. The person who is going to cheat will still cheat.

BOSTONFICTIONWRITER said:

Actually, in fact, to find someone who is able to army and marshall the vote, to find someone who can win a contest almost at will, all you need to do is to look at his or her page. Go ahead, I dare you. Take a gander at the winner's page. You'll be surprised.

If on his or her page, every story is colored with a red H, guess what? Draw the line and make the connection.

You could say that he or she is a great writer and worthy of a red H every time he or she spits out a story. Yet, you could read some of those red H stories and wonder how in the Hell he or she was able to get a red H for that piece of shit.

I'm stating what I have always said, these contests have nothing to do with writing talent and creative ability, but with popularity. Period.

Conversely, you can make the same argument for Scouries and Sarahhh. If they were able to work the system, as you say they can, if they were able to readjust and realign their scores, as a few of you think they can, then why can't they win a contest? Answer me that.

I'll tell you why. Because they can't tamper with the system. They don't have the ability to do that in the way that some of your pals can. Scouries and Sarahhh are just talented and creative writers, who will never have a fair chance at winning a contest here because, like me, we rely on our ability to tell a story.

You're a writer, shouldn't a contest be about the story and not the writer? Let's take the writer out of the equation. Let's focus on the story. Let's have a contest that doesn't list who wrote the story. Yeah, sure, it's not a perfect fix. The person who is going to cheat will still cheat.

So, what do you think, was it a good story? I dunno. I didn't even read it. So and so wrote it, and he asked me and all the other hundred people at work to vote for it, so I did.

Maybe we should have a panel of judges that change with every contest deciding which story is the best story.

Do you understand why I complain that the contests are not fair for every writer? Or do you still think that I'm just whinning and have sour grapes. Hey, you said yourself, I don't even have an entry in the contest. What do I have sour grapes about?

If the contest was purely decided upon by the story, then I wouldn't complain. Let the best story win. Unfortunately, the contests here are decided by who can summon the most votes.

I reiterate, if you want to find someone who can manipulate the system and win a contest, just take a look at their page.

If every single story, even their first attempts, even their shitty stories that they wrote, when they had the flu or writer's block, is colored with a red H then, chances are people like me, you, Scouries, Sarahhh, and thousands of other writers, who pour out their hearts and write here for free, hoping to be so recognized, by winning a lousy contest on this site, don't stand a chance.

Go ahead, make your argument now. I dare you to spin what I just wrote. Tell me that it's not true.

We're all watching for you to defend your pals and make up more lies. I'm a righteous man. I tell the truth. I tell it the way that it is. I've always believed in fair play and in good over evil and as far as I'm concerned, the contests around here stink.

Yet, contests were never my goal. I'm just here to write my stories. Then, when I saw things that were wrong, when I was cheated myself with the Survivor Contest, because I'm a righteous guy, I called what I saw and took all the shit from people like you and your silly assortment of cyber friends for my comments. Now, why was that? Because you were afraid that I had uncovered the truth.

As are most writers who post a story, I'm here to write. I'm not here to post nonsense, as you are, 24/7 on these forum boards.

If you ask me, you're more the junior high bully than is Sarahhh the beautiful and bodacious cheerleader. Her forum post numbers pales in comparison to your looming and growing number.

As matter of fact, if you took my posts, Scouries' posts, and Sarahhh's posts, we still wouldn't even reach half the number of silly and nonsensical posts you've made here, Mr. Great, published, and successful writer, who has so much time on his hands that he spends all his time here (lol).

I rest my case.

Can we, just for once, have a fair contest that everyone, equally, has a fair chance at winning?
