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.

Thanks! I thought that was helpful, because it isn't that obvious what is new each day.

Let's get this thread back on top
Hi Transverse
Didn't realize your new story was part of the Valentine's Day Contest until I saw sun_sea_sky's posting with the New Stories list. I agree that's a great feature. Anyway, I liked the story, and I'll be back to leave a comment (already voted). Welcome back and I hope this means more stories from you.
Oh and neat work on the Contest analysis as always, Sun. We should all be grateful that you do this for us.

I'm pretty much out of this one. I did have a bunny-a brother/sister romance-but the muse kicked it to the side and I'm blazing through a lesbian story about a witch and her coven. Oh, well maybe I can bank that one for Halloween.

I could use a few more reads and comments on my story. That one little comment is getting a bit lonely. It's quite short, just one page and an additional paragraph.

I read and commented -- sorry it's not longer. A little scattered in the Penn household today.

Thank you. Contrary to popular opinion, longer isn't always better.
I hope that's not true as my story has topped 35 pages and the end still isn't in sight.

I think that's "stamina", Tx.

Silly, goofy me nearly missed remembering it was time for the first contest submission of the new year! After considering an incest or fetish story, I opted for a transsexual story. Hopefully, if I have any fans, it will appeal to them. Otherwise, good luck everyone!

can't help but wonder what would happen if the Duckman wrote the same tale just modified for three genres....

Probably not much. All my stories read the same.
That said, the pending approval story does include a "kitchen sink" approach. A beautiful woman who meets a cumslut, receives her first anal and has a threeway with her cumslut boyfriend and his tranny girlfriend. Now, if only I had the common sense to make two of the characters brother and sister. DAMN!

Thanks. I might do a second entry into the contest; something short, like one-scene. This entry was written a while back, and I want to write something new, lol.

Thank you.
Random grumble bump
WTF - no new stories ?!
Come on you guys and gals, get writing
Or is Laurel taking a day off?
Nah, only joking - I couldn't do a Valentine's Day Contest story myself, so I'm suitably impressed with anyone who makes the effort. And I'm sure we'll have lots more stories soon.

Don't expect much from me. My fickle Muse is all over the place as of late but not much of it hits my Valentine Day stories.
