The Authors' Hangout National Nude Day Support Thread

Punter:
3] A person who propels a punt.

No.
Punter:
1] A person who places a bet (punt) with a bookmaker at the racecourse.
2] A 'customer'. This could be (often is) a disparaging definition (the clients of a prostitute, for example).

Your quoted sentence would not be used like that over here in that way..

Car trader: "Bleedin' punters; they only wanted the Roller for the price of a clapped-out Rover, din' they?"

Notice that the use of 'punters' is defined.

One policeman to another: "You know that tom that's often on the corner of the high street?. Well that bloke there is one of her punters"

[ 'tom' in this case is a prostitute ]

The word is also used to describe (somewhat disparagingly) a member of an audience (as in "a customer").

Thanks, it just sounded like such a fun word to use...maybe I'll try to come up with a Nude Day story based on "punter"...

keeping it real

I find it interesting how this has gone from the first entry of hey let's all enter the National Nude Day Contest and have fun to let's make new rules, bash other writers, accuse site of cheating, bash potential whiners (if they can be identified) to screw the damn contests etc.
When I finally took the plunge to start writing this genre it was fostered by a long anonymous love of this site (I remember when amyscute2000's The Bet was a new story). The National Day Contest was always a personal favorite so I wrote a story. Surprise, I liked it and wanted more (Damn libido!) Since the contest is a way off let's try another story (Wow liked that one too who knew?)
So here I am ready to have fun and now I read how I shouldn't enter because I'm a newbie (top 100 only) I write until the story is done (too short potential.) or its part of a series (I have an idea for Matt and Diana to celebrate National Nude Day that could be fun.) A creative spark has lit so I am producing a ton of stuff (too many entries.)
To Oogbashan thanks for saying let's have fun. To some others take your wet blankets and exit through the door marked 'Exit Browser." To andintheend if you write fifty stories and I like half of them thanks for writing the stories I liked.
It's an erotic site - we're supposed to have and create fun!
Alright I'm getting off my soap box to write. And if I like and am proud of what I write you can damn well expect I'll post it (and should be able to!)- litfan10

Thank you for your support and good luck writing your story.

It's nice to meet you. My name is Susan.

Yes, the whole idea of this site is to have fun reading and writing stories.

Only, now that I responded to your post and you are a newbie, I'm sure that everyone will accuse me of being you (lol).

Actually that's okay since everyone knows that every Literotica author is the really one person. - Kevin Bacon!

You really don't want to know. He's an actor.

He's Francis Bacon's great, great, great grandson, which gives him literary license to make such a comment.

Sadly, some of us occasional contributors to Lit can't be any more than that: occasional. Either other commitments wreck our schedules. Or inspiration fails. (Generally, both where I'm concerned.)

Contrary to an earlier post by an author claiming to be the worst National Nude Day essayist, sorry, but: that's me. I hadn't written anything for Lit before and so I entered the contest as a debut writer a couple of years ago. Some kind of processing glitch occurred at Lit's end and the story was on pending, pending, pending until a couple of days after the deadline passed.

So then it was published and nobody read it because it wasn't a contest entry. Well, by some miracle, some people stumbled over it, but the effort of writing a story for the specific purpose of having fun with a specific topic was pretty much wasted. Pity it can't be re-submitted just for the hell of it.

As to stories and authors. I can't speak for the average reader because I doubt there's any such person. But surely: a reader can decide for herself / himself what's dross and what's not? I don't need to get beyond the first half dozen paras to decide whether the writer's work is worth bothering with. So a multiplicity of stories doesn't really bother me: if they're all from the same writer they'll inevitably be stamped with that writer's narrative voice, even if the name is changed. If it's good stuff, then that's great. If it's dross, then one submission or a dozen makes no difference.

Oh. Just a final thought from this occasional contributor. I have absolutely no connection with the writer listed below, nor is it going to be that easy for anyone here to quickly check out my contention because her work is principally in the form of a (so far) ten-chapter novel.

However. . .

When it comes to wit, grace, intelligence and utter, blazing bravura, then the UK-based writer FIREBRAIN not only ranks as one of the best writers on Lit, but amongst the best writers currently working in any genre.

If someone here is handing out invitations, then Firebrain deserves as much as anyone to find that invite in her in-box.

Stop your whining little AH ALT person! This campaign to encourage LITEROTICA’S greatest authors to compete in the upcoming NUDE DAY CONTEST in no way prevents you from entering one story in the contest. Even shestheend has now agreed to this proviso.

Instead its purpose is twofold:

First, for the authors involved in the contest, it raises the bar – making the contest a much more challenging affair. An author now will be able to measure himself against the best. And they'll only get one chance.

Secondly, and more importantly, it will attract the LITEROTICA reading public back to the contest stories. Seeing the names of the LITEROTICA greats up in lights will be a draw no reader will be able to resist.

And of course this will benefit the younger authors – allowing their work much wider exposure.

It’s a win, win, win situation!

Actually and obviously you have difficulty with reading comprehension. Perhaps you are so eager to get out your innane message that you don't bother to read the responses of others.

I did not agree to post only one story in the contest. What I did agree to was to post one story...at a time.

Maybe you don't understand the difference between the two.

Notwithstanding your shortcomings with reading the written word, I'll be posting a minimum of 8 stories. Most are in different categories.

I thank you in advance for your support in giving me a 5 vote for my stories. You are too kind.

By the way, are you always like this or are you on prescription medication? You remind me of my son, hyper, but he's only 5-years-old (lol).

Uh huh. Well, I'm glad you clarified that.

Oh, and the numbnutted one that keeps passing out the invitation, take half of what he says with a dose of salts and the other half with an aspirin. He's that much of a pain in the ass.

Thank you for the information. You are too kind. Michchick has already set me straight about him. I'm indebted to her and Littleblackdress for making me feel better.

When I first read his mean spirited posts about me, I was crushed. I took it personally, that is, until I started reading about some of the other things that he has written about so many people.

I don't want any trouble from anyone. I just want to write my stories. I like the contests because the stories stay in the public's eye longer. The contest motivates me to write more. Otherwise, I don't think I'd write at all.

Thanks again. It's nice to meet you. I'm Susan, by the way.

If I posted a nude AV, I'd get more hate mail than a loving wives story.

Butt, I am working on two stories, one from each POV.

Sorry, but per the owner of the site, Mr. Scouries or is it Miss Scouries? You may only post one story.

Who? The owners of this site are Laurel and Manu.

 

[andtheend]

Who? The owners of this site are Laurel and Manu.

Who are they?

I thought the owner of Literotica was the poster with all the pretty graphics, Scouries. He or she sure acts like he or she owns the place, going around and inviting people to write more stories, while telling posters what they can and cannot do.

How does he get away with being so vocal without getting banned? Maybe he or she is the owner. Maybe he or she is Manu or Laurel?

Now that I know, I feel foolish thinking that I was in trouble by calling attention to myself of the owner of the site.

So, he or she is just another poster with no special privileges?

 

[Darkniciad]

But anyway...

I'm drawing a complete blank for this contest, and don't really anticipate that changing. This theme just doesn't provide me with much inspiration. Anything that I come up with would require massive suspension of disbelief. About the only way I'll enter is if someone sends me a gawd-awful bag of literary trash to turn into farce for an LST3K.

Still thinking about tracking and/or reviewing the contest. This one typically draws even fewer entries than Earth Day, which is a difficult theme as well, so that might make it a little easier to keep up with the list for either task.

I dunno, just a suggestion, but why not write a story about, gees, I dunno, Woods? You can write Nude In The Wood or Wood and Nude or Woody in the woods nude or do you save the woodsy theme just for your Earth Day wins?

Oh, I know, why not come up with a new Alt? That way, you can cheat to win, yet, another contest again. Yeah, I like that idea. Only, I'm sure you've already thought of that and are doing that anyway already. I figure your post is nothing more than a smoke screen to throw people all of you.

Hey, if I read another story where you've repeated 3,000 words out of 13,000 to make another templated contest story as an entry, then no matter what alt you use, I'll know it's you, Woody (lol), I mean, Dark One.

Good luck in the contest. Only, I'm sure you won't need my luck, when you cheat to win.

You ought to be ashamed. Have you no conscience? It's Mother's Day for God's sakes. What did your mother tell you when you were little? C'mon, what did she say, just before she died?

"Dark, don't cheat. You've cheated your brother. You've cheated your sister. You've cheated your father. You've cheated me. You cheated the priest. Stop cheating."

"Sorry, Ma. I promise to stop cheating."

Only, you lied to your mother on her death bed, didn't you? Now that your mother is dead, here you are still cheating. Be a man for once and compete in a contest without cheating. Can you do that? Now, you won the last contest, sit this one out.

It's okay. There's no need to kiss my feet. I accept your apology.

Now, beat it and don't return until the next contest. Be gone with you. Scram. Get lost. Leave. Screw.

Finally, I can breathe again. Doesn't he ever take a shower? He stinks of body odor. Gross.

You call it sour grapes and I call it reality. The contests here are not fairly run and people like you and Dark have manipulated them to benefit you.

So be it. I can't be bothered. Still, it doesn't prevent me from calling you guys the cheaters that you are.

Further, I have no alts. Just me. I don't have to hide behind alts to say what I'm thinking.

You think that I have alts because you do. Not everyone has an alt.

As I've said many times before, I want credit for everything I write, good or bad. Ergo, no alts. Sorry to disappoint you.

To all of you mothers (lol), Happy Mother's Day to you.
