Thank you to anyone who read and voted on my Celebrity story. :D
It now has 10 votes (thank you baby Jesus) and it counts!
(It counts good. :D)
(Until they do a sweep and get rid of a precious vote. :()
But let's not dwell on that, lol.
Please, do not troll my story cuz I bragged on it. :eek: I'll cry, I swear I will, lol.
I am just so excited, and I needed to share.
This causes me to want to write more and more!
There aren't enough hours in the day!!!!! :D:p

This has got to be the (second) best feeling in the world. ;)


That is all. :)

Back to your regularly scheduled debauchary. :devil:

You can come over and play with me any time you want to and I promise I'll never laugh at your enthusiasm ... that would be a crime and a felony at that.

Go gettem' young lady; high fives all around.

You need to post a link here, Kitten. You get a lot more readers that way. ;)

Congrats :rose: ...that's a tough cat for votes.
 
Thank you Loring. :) I appreciate that.
Yay for high fives, lol. :D :rose:

TE, there's a link in my sig. :)
The 'Paramour to a Star' one. :)
Yeah, I doubt I'll ever do that one again, but it was worth a shot, lol.

Thank you guys.. I'm glad I didn't have an empty party. :kiss:
 
I checked, and it's still number 1. It's a good feeling to have the top ranked story. I have had a few in the past, and I have one right now, but I won't say what it is, because it would get trolled. :eek:

It hasn't happened to me for a long time.
(aside from the fact I didn't post any for years, lol.)

Congrats to you! :rose:
Isn't it sad we're scared to say because of trollers? :( Bitches. :)

Whoop whoop! :nana: for us! :D
 
Why does everyone think us trolls are all that interested in their stories?

It's a matter of experience. In the past, when a story of mine reached #1, usually with a score of 5.00 with ten votes, it was immediately knoocked down with low scores. I don't know why this should be so, but it is. :(

The nail that sticks out is the one that gets hammered.

Hey Box. What you say is so true. After almost an entire day I had a new story come out with the best score for me ever (well okay I've only been here since May 1st but you get the idea :rolleyes:). After 12 votes I was riding a 4.92. I kept my mouth shut not to jinx it but a troll hit the story in the threads and bam! I get up the next morning to a 4.32 where it still sits. I just hope for the best in the sweeps.

BTW Great new stories Box - loved them.

Kitten, I finally read Paramour - great job - you deserve to banana dance and ride the top spot! Congrats!
 
Thanks LF. Do they show rankings for the contest stories?

not specifically. You can check the reader voting for stories and click the tab for last thirty days and this will give you some of them. You can also do the same by categories and last thirty days. But there is no list just for contest stories that I am aware of - that way we all stay in suspense and trolls can't one-bomb the leaders.

Good luck to you in the contest as well!

Thanks. Now I just need to write something without so much "ghostly assistance". ;)

I know about the score thing.. I try not to make to much of anything, but I just got really excited. :)
Thank you!
(That last sentence is sooo loaded with double meaning, I'm not even gonna touch it, LOL.) ;)
 
I liked and voted on your story, Kitten. It was well written and sufficiently sexy...not to mention a fantasy of most women. ;)
 
I don't like to rain on your parade, Kitten, but enjoy it while you can. In 17 days you will probably lose your position. I say this because it is #1 in the last 30 days, and there are some stories with higher rankings that were posted in the last year. Once it gets to be older than 30 days, it will be compared to those other older stories. :(
 
Congratulations, EmeraldKitten! It is a huge treat to get a top ranking, even for a short while, and usually helps all your other stories. Readers will read your story, click your name and sample your other stuff. The story is worthy. Got my vote. :D

But Boxlicker is right. Until you have a few hundred votes, it's too easy for a couple of low votes to send you tanking.

And Amicus - loved that linked story. Very nice.
 
Maybe Box ...

It's a matter of experience. In the past, when a story of mine reached #1, usually with a score of 5.00 with ten votes, it was immediately knoocked down with low scores. I don't know why this should be so, but it is. :(

... but to be honest with you it isn't reasonable that everybody who reads a story should like that story from beginning to end and if a reader should decide that a particular story isn't his or her figurative cup of tea and has a particular reason for the thought then, voila a 3 or even a 2 appears out of somewhere.

We both know that ratings are less likely to change on 'short stories' than on 'novellas'. So you might have troll problems or maybe just people who didn't like what you wrote. I'd bet on the latter.

Besides, men like JamesBJohnson and Amicus are not trolls, They're 'Agents Provocateur' and their intellect is much higher than the people they provoke, they're in control. I suspect that neither would deign to play such a small stupid game as to underrate a story for spite. They would however, in the vernacular "piss you off"just because they can

Think about it Box.

If a story had received ten votes of "5" and a "4" comes along, I would consider it to be an honest opinion. A "3" maybe less so, and anything lower I would consider to be strictly vindictive. I am referring here to a story that has been ranked a "5" by the first ten voters.

I doubt that JBJ or Amicus would do what you suggest, but I believe there are others who do. I have suspicions, but I will not name any names because I can't prove anything. :(
