by speech impediment are you talking about bad grammar and poor self editing skills?
If so, and adding to that my dreadful accent (Australian slang and vernacular used in this story)
and I have to ask where the hell are all the votes I should be receiving lololol
but perhaps you meant the actual show in which case just ignore me
we don't see American Idol here we have our own Idol wannabes

1) Can someone tell me what a 'sweep' is?
2) How does one actually win the ED contest? The rules say the following:
3) Another question - is scouries really LITEROTICA'S #1 author?
eclare
My dear eclair, I'll be delighted to answer your questions...
1)"Sweeping" is a technique the QUEEN (LAUREL
) uses to alter the vote totals and scores at the end of the contest so that one of her "pets" can miraculously win even though his or her story was panned by the small number of real readers who actually read it. AHers such as oily, the dumb texan, and darkboy have all benefitted from their lackyisms...2) The first step is to get down on your knees...
3) YES HE IS! I don't like to blow my own horn but the fact of the matter is that it's true. MANU Award winner, #1 MOST VOTED on story, MOST COMMENTED on story, and with SITE SALES of over 40,000,000 I believe it's pretty generally accepted that I'm number one.

OK, I'll just ignore you. I meant the actual TV show and a contestant who, although very nice and with a good voice, is well beyond his release date and is only still in contention because of the sympathy vote--he has a stutter when speaking that makes it almost impossible for him to converse, but it doesn't occur when he sings.

Just so none of the newbies get confused.
Here are the real answer to those answers s*****s gave above:
1: Sweeps are run because of asshole like s*****s who inflate their votes and views and try to inflate their scores. If you know anything about the owners of this site then you would know what s*****s said is bullshit and sour grapes.
2: More bullshit
3: Yes he is the self proclaimed number one. But and this is a big but, ask him how may of the real contests and awards he has won on this site. None, zip, zero. And whose fault is that, you ask. According to him it is everyone in the AH, the site owners, and anyone else he can think of. Now you understand the sour grapes.
That is what the fake contests and fake awards are all about. So s*****s can finally win something, even if it is fake and bogus.
I hope this explains why he is here and why ignore is the best place for him.

Well, that would be Alwayswantedto with his Mom/Son stories. Apparently, he's considered the best author, if not the numero uno on this site. He's got the largest most enthusiastic and loyal fan base by far.
It shouldn't be Scouries' World. It should be Alwayswantedto's World.
My twincest story has plummeted in score. High readership, great feedback, even got two enthusiastic comments posted - and it only just appeared this morning. But the first vote was a 1, because the score dropped to 4.00 immediately.
Jeebus! It isn't that bad!

Huh? The Earth Day contest (which was what the question concerned) isn't over yet. The highest rating with 25 or more votes hasn't been judged yet--and won't be until after the contest ends and the final sweeps are finished.
Suggest you just stop hyperventilating over Scouries. That's what he wants you to do.

I always consider 1s to be as good as 5s. It means I'm threatening someone.

Hyperventilating? Over Scouries? Now how did you deduce that from my post? Jeebus, Pilot, you must really kill all the ladies with that swoon-inducing charm of yours.

Defensive much? Do personal attacks make you feel superior? Your obsession with what Scouries is doing seemed pretty obvious to me. Just ignore him. I'll help by putting you on ignore with him.
(And, yes, I notice you didn't address that other crazy stuff I said "huh" to.)

That's one way to look at it.
Thanks for the encouragement, Slyc. It makes me feel better.

Having a bad day, Pilot? In no mood to take a joke?
I made a remark about Scouries in my post, true, but hardly enough to warrant your accusation that I was "hyperventilating" about him. Most of my post was about Alwayswantedto. I thought that was pretty clear, so I don't believe I was the overreacting {or hyperventilating}.
Defensive? Maybe a mite. I get that way when someone swings a club at me. It's a character flaw of mine. I abhor being attacked.
And the reason why I didn't address the other alleged "stuff" you responded with "huh" to, was because you'd been pretty clear with your clarification of how things work. But, Pilot, despite your apparent grumpiness, I still love you {even if you put me on ignore - I know you're just trying to play hard-to-get}.

Hey, I have 100 posts but no avatar
The ability to upload an avatar appears in User CP when you have exceeded 100 posts. Sometimes you need to sign out of Literotica and sign in again.
But YOU have to make your own avatar. If you can't, help can be asked for.

Because of the way this site works these figures will not be totally up-to-date. For a given story the score shown on the category page, the author's page, and the toplists page, can all be different. Also it appears that various pages update at different times of the day, sometimes quite infrequently.
Please do not PM me asking for more detailed information. I do not wish to skew contest results by giving a target for voting manipulation.

They've already been bombing the hell out of my story the moment it appeared. It debuted as the second story in the New stories section, and it's still there! Easy target.

Yep. Bane and boon. I had one of mine sit at the number one spot all day . . . took it a while to recover from the carpet-bombing.
To quote Bugs Bunny: "Ah . . . me public."

Do yourself a favor: stop checking and write something else. Not like you posted your magnum opus or anything.
