This won't last long, but it's fun!

I got my 10th vote on chapter 3 of K, L, & M tonight. I have somehow gotten straight 5's from everyone--and a thousand thanks for that if you voted for this!--so here's what the toplist looks like at the moment:

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar out!

Congratulations!

It happens to a lot of us at least once but rarely lasts before the trolls attack, or more reasonable voting starts - depending on your point of view.

I shouldn't be proud of my personal record. I once reached ten votes with a rating of 2.00!

Still there at 12.30, but the Yanqui won't have woken up yet. Does this mean we've found the troll homeland?

The land of the free and the home of the trolls.

Now that you've mentioned it, John, I'm certain someone seeing this thread will feel compelled to ruin it for you.

Congrats on your emphemeral win!

Same thing happened to me. I basked in the warm glow of being #1 for all of two or three hours before somebody noticed.

It's the little victories that make life worthwhile, yes?

My first submission got twelve straight fives, and then a few ones... It was number one in Nonhuman for all of ten seconds, and I never saw it

Congratulations, Big John.

Enjoy it while you can. Maybe the South Beach literati are (is?) sleeping in.

Haw haw haw haw! Oh, I was thinking the same thing, you know: just posting the thread was courting potential disaster. But so far, so good: there's an 11th vote and it's still pure 5.0. (Hey, people must like it!)

Thank yew, thank yeeeeew! I'm terrifically flattered.

Actually made it 3 votes more of straight 5's before someone trolled it with a 1. Not too shabby. Meanwhile, I ended up picking up 10,000 reads in 2 weeks.

Is it possible to have the 1 removed as trollishness?

 

[gauchecritic]

I think there's a sweep due for the competition soon, you might get caught in that.
