Hey sarahhh as to the age of the earth etc., I'd suggest you try the following link:

10,000 years old?

Gabby

I'm mostly interested in someone who can reconcile the creation story in the Bible with science. For example, the Biblical interpretation that Adam was created a little over 6,000 years ago with the common scientific interpretation that man has been on earth for several hundred thousand years.

As I recall, Ace claimed he can walk on water, among other things. I figured he can shed light on issues pertaining to the Bible, since he wrote it.

QUOTE oily If the prerequisite for a "bestseller" is 100,000 views or more, and based upon the existence of said bestsellers you derive royalties (for being, apparently, one of the principle draws to Literotica), then it would only make sense that the other authors who have such "bestselling" stories should receive royalties as well. After all, Laurel and Manu, according to you, reward those who bring readers to this site. I'm only asking because of the fact that I have five stories with over 100,000 views, and the Texas Literotica Fan Club has voted me one of their favorite authors, oh, and, they would love it if I had a yacht docked at Galveston so we could have Literotica-sponsored cruises and the like. You know, like you do. I'd be happy to post those numbers, if you like.

Yes a LITEROTICA “bestseller” is currently defined as having 100,000 views so let me just take this opportunity to congratulate you on your “five”. And yes I’d love to see you post your numbers for all your stories (up to 100 maximum – I’m afraid if I don’t limit it my pal freddie will post all his 750+ stories and bring down the thread).

Now, moving on to the question of ROYALTIES. You use the word “should”. The reality is that no one is going to get anything if they don’t fight for it. I, and I believe two others at present, are fortunate enough to receive ROYALTIES.

The Scouries ROYALTIES are based on a number of factors (views, votes, comments, threadmastering, percentage increase year over year, etc., etc.) and the ROYAL FAMILY seems quite happy with our contractual relationship.

“Texas Literotica Fan Club”? Such a thing exists? Please don’t tell me mr. tex is the President of it. Maybe you could make George its honorary president since he’s back in the lone star state.

As to docking a yacht in Galveston, have you been there lately? From what I understand from boating friends Galveston is a wasteland! It looks more like Bangladesh these days than America. I’d suggest you guys clean it up before you start docking yachts there.

QUOTE darkboy I'm willing to bet that the other site Tex is referencing requires a member login. SOL also requires a member login. Just the simple fact that only people who can be assed to sign up for an account are included in the totals will increase the view to vote ratio.

Sign-up will never be required here. Therefore, that boost isn't going to happen. Stroke readers are still going to come here for their gratification, not yours. They're busy cleaning up at the end of the story, not voting. People who gag on paragraph two of a story still aren't going to scroll to the bottom of page two to leave a vote.

Not to mention that nobody other than the site owners has the slightest idea what a "view" is.

You’re quite correct with regard to how a “view” is defined. Personally I’ve always believed it’s inflated by 5 to 10 times on this site.

You also could be right about the influence on voting of making readers login.

However, it should be noted that I’ve satisfied myself that an author can increase the percent of people who vote (and comment) on his stories. And I believe if every author on the site encouraged readers to vote we’d see a significant increase in voting levels.

So why don’t authors encourage them? Because every person who submits stories here falls in love with the “view” number.

“My god, 15,000 (or 5,000 or 50,000 or 100,000) people read my story,” they whisper to themselves. “I can’t believe it! I’ve never written anything before.” And of course we all get a rush out of seeing these big figures. Some of us deny it but the reality is that it’s hard not to be a little flattered by them.

So we quickly ignore the fact that only one in five hundred or a thousand actually voted. And that even less commented on it. Cause that opens a real can of worms. It can’t help but generate some negative thoughts, bring you down from your 15,000 view high.

So it’s better just to ignore it.

QUOTE danikat I think you gentlemen are missing the point in writing for the readers when you focus so much on votes and scores... I get emails from women who had to be on bed rest during their pregnancy Your sister?. They tell me how much my stories made their time stuck in bed easier to handle. That is much nicer than scores or votes.

So I think if you are going to focus upon that, maybe you should give up writing and become accountants. Just my opinion. It's only worth what you make of it

What the heck’s wrong with accountants? Hey my pal freddie is one. As is my lovely assistant Jacqui.

But you’ve hit the nail right on the head my dear. In fact it’s impossible to write for “votes” or “comments”. You have to start with the story. You may do it for yourself or you may do it for some “target” audience but you have to write it. And you have to get the reader to the end of it. Who cares how many people clicked it open? What matters is how many people read it and what did they think of it.

What the “votes” and “comments” show is how well you’ve achieved your goal. You, as one of the FAVORITEST AUTHORS have always recognized this and encouraged feedback. In fact if we had 100 authors on this site who worked as hard as you did to encourage feedback I believe that voter participation rates across the board would be 2 or 3 times higher.

Science is quickly coming around to “Intelligent Design” my dear . That whole Darwinian Ape story is getting shot to hell.

DNA evidence from around the globe is quickly piling up and appears to point to the first human walking the Earth about 9328 years ago.

And the first man wasn’t called Adam. Nor did he sleep with his rib. Instead God made him this hot blond when he was about fifteen and he did slip her a rib. A nice thick rib of…

… Then the blond started producing children … and who did they sleep with? Well that’s another story.

BTW he’s my 587th Great Grandfather (and his names was James).

Your recollection remains shoddy, Sarahh. If you actually read the forum, you'd know I've posted something quite the contrary on the walking on water type of thing.

If you want to continue to try to belittle and harrass, you should at least try to be smart enough not to fire duds. You suck at this game as much as bsergi1 does.

Why is that you are taking this self-damning approach? Who do you think you're fooling--or bothering, for that matter? I open up this thread in the morning to get my "watch the fools dance" fix--and to reel just a bit more rope out to you so you'll be back, looking just as foolish, the next day.

QUOTE sarahhh Hey Ace, the next scouries' cover I do is the one you'll really like, even though you'll lie and say you don't. The cover will be for "EX-CON'S BIG COCK."

That’s an excellent choice too!

Watch Ace drool.

(You make a great straight man, Sarahh. I especially like how you have to put time and effort into it.)

Sorry Charlie but all of the above is a load of crap. It's quite the opposite in fact. The human reverse family tree is filling in nicely. Along with migration routes and all.

DNA degrades and is unusable after as little as five to seven years even on the most well preserved bones. Carbon dating is used to date skeletons of our ancestors. The oldest in the US is from Arizona and dates back 31,000 years. France has one almost 60,000 years old.

Talk about dumb and dumber

Those bones found in France belonged to a Neanderthal, didn't they? You know, a Neanderthal, like you. Now that makes me wonder if a Neanderthal is really human.

So how do you reconcile your answer with the biblical account that Adam was created a little over 6,000 years ago?

Hey, but at least you answered the question, as did scouries, instead of sloughing it off like Ace the Bible teacher did.

You deserve a cover for one of your stories designed by me!

 

[sr71plt]

No, I answered your Bible questions--and have responded to the same questions on other threads. It's not my problem that you either can't absorb or remember answers--or just don't like the answers you get.

It's sort of silly to assert otherwise on threads that anyone can read. It's also pretty juvenile to ask questions like this when everyone knows why you are asking them. Who do you think you are fooling?

You haven't answered questions I've posed to you. What's your claimed new book on? When will it be finished? Who is your publisher? Do you dare put it up against other books by people around here on comparison lists?

See:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human

Homo neanderthalensis, which became extinct 30,000 years ago, has sometimes been classified as a subspecies, "Homo sapiens neanderthalensis", but genetic studies now suggest a divergence of the Neanderthal species from Homo sapiens about 500,000 years ago

Well, I dunno, Ace, it kinda looks like one of your covers. Gotta luv those ripped abs, 'eh? You don't show the best part in your cover, though.

The cover I did is how I picture scouries cruising for chicks on the beach.

I got another Bible question that these covers brought to mind. I'm talking about the uncovering of Noah's nakedness in Genesis 9. What's up with that? Are we just talking about him sleeping naked, or is there a rest of the story?

It's the difference between erotica and porn, between taste and trailer trash. Not at all surprised that you don't understand the difference.

Thanks for the free publicity for House on Park, Sarahh. Yes, that one's an unabashed stroker (They really sell well, you know--my current one, with a similar cover, Deal Closer, is going great guns in sales--at the end of last week, it was in the #1 eXcessica best-sellers spot at Fictionwise). I don't just write incest, ya know. Got a nifty M/F earthy Romance, Blue Roses Tattoo, already out and sitting at #4 on the eXcessica best-sellers page at Fictionwise that you might be interested in. Or if you are into something literary (which I know is a bit over your navel level), check out the really, really nice review on the coauthored Tree of Idleness (review can be found on the book release thread at the top of this forum).

But House on Park doesn't come out until 6 July--so backed up in my book releases, you know. Several other good ones dropping before then--with covers just as evocative as that one. Nothing crass and overdone like the one you did for Scouries's imaginary book, of course.


No answers, love, until you start giving one or two yourself: What's your claimed new book on? When will it be finished? Who is your publisher? Do you dare put it up against other books by people around here on comparison lists?

And the real biggie: Who do you think you're fooling?

Stories about guys sucking other guy's cocks (is that the "taste" you're talking about?) and taking it in the ass sure seems a hole lot like porn to me.

As opposed to incest stories, of course.

Hey, how about Dan Rooney, owner of the Steelers, being named Ambassador to Ireland on St. Patrick's Day? They'll be wearing black and gold instead of green in Ireland real soon.

Well, speaking of green, I'm off to drink some green beer. Then Penguins hockey.

Maybe tomorrow I'll do you a knocked-up cover.
