The Official Author's Hangout 2014 Summer Lovin' Contest Support Thread

[lovecraft68]

Bullshit. I have novel-length works both here and in the marketplace. I've probably written ten times the number of novels that you have. It's more a difference between precision and relevance. on the one hand, and verbosity and little training to the discipline, on the other. The length should be a function of the complexity of what is in the work, not how many words you can jam in there knowing, here at Literotica, that the largely unsophisticated readership favors bloated epics.

The largely unsophisticated readership.

You fucking kill me, because that is the same audience you write for as does every other author here. Why are they unsophisticated Pilot, because you have never won a contest, because you're lucky to see a half dozen comments on a story, because people here do not acknowledge your self perceived greatness?

You demean the readership here-and the authors-constantly, but fact is all you do is whine about how they don;t appreciate what you think is good writing, which is yours of course, but I guess someone has to tout your stories, may as well be you.

You've never even read one of my stories, not one, in fact I bet you have never even clicked on one just like you don't read any other authors work, because you think you're to good to.

Anyone ever look at Pilot's fav list? Its his alleged co writer(which I am fairly certain is him) the shared co-name of that co author(meaning he faved himself) and he....did fav himself, how fucking sad is that, you faved yourself

The only legit fav is an author that you practically fawn over whenever he posts here because you wish you had half their talent.

You're a pretentious windbag who does nothing but look down your nose at people who post on the same exact site as you do, yet somehow you're better? Anyone half as good as you think you are wouldn't be here let alone care what we think.

Oh you've written novels? Big deal so have I, so have quite a few people here, and in the same markets you have because not a person here believes you have done anything but self publish through a glorified self publisher that started right here on the platform that you mock.

You can make every excuse in the book for why other people do better than you here, including insulting the readers who you so desperately want to please, you're like a poor loser who blames losing on everything, but himself.

Tell you what, say what you will about the readership, but they know what they like and its not you.

Or do you want me to start posting numbers for you?

And as for bloated epics? I've read some of your book blurbs you have sentences longer than Oggs fifty word stories, yeah that is concise and relevant writing.

Do everyone here a favor and go back on your meds.

Is the General Board forum sinking?

With peculiar entities like the one above you, it should've long ago.

Is the General Board forum sinking?

Yes, that's why this thread is more interesting than a thread on the GB.

BTW, I was recently called an insipid harridan on the GB. I don't see how a harridan can be insipid, but you know how some men are. They can't handle women talking about women's reproductive issues. They have psychotic breakdowns and foam at the mouth and can only manage to get out, "CUNT." Then "insipid harridan" follows.

The only thing that makes the discussions/debates/attack in AH different than that of GB is the absence of the crude and imbecile name calling phenomenon.

Frankly speaking, you've officially lost a debate when you have nothing to say, except calling names.

There's some name calling that goes on in the AH, but nothing compared to the GB. It tends to be more civilized over here.

I think I will stop this right now.

The problem with Pilot is he is incapable of realizing that we are on lit and all that matters is lit. That everyone here is on a level playing field and reaching the same audience with varied levels of "success" what constitutes success on a free site?

Well scores, I guess, but they can be manipulated, favs, comments, views. Trolls cannot steal comments and views that we know of, but anyway those are things to look at.

So why does pilot incessantly have to start rambling about all his "real life" success and experience? because he keeps that hidden! We can't know all those successful pen names and big time publishers he has worked with, we can't! Of course we can't because its lies. Like when a little kid says to his friend "My dad is a secret agent, but don't tell anyone and know I can't prove it because its secret and don't say it to him or I will get in trouble."

So let's just look at lit and I could give a lot of examples to get him swearing and name calling,(and sputtering with no defense, but I will keep this simple.

His latest story as picked from the 30 day list-so yes I know, not up to the minute, a good example anyway.

4.38

6 comments/ 4684 views/ 6 favorites with 53 votes(as of a day or so ago I would guess on the votes)

This is a guy with close to 600 stories in the category, who sees himself as the top author there okay let's look at.....

Patientlee and her second attempt at GM (the first won the fawc contest BTW and Pilot said it was due to easy song choice and it was....a long story)

4.58

9 comments/ 24404 views/ 15 favorites with 193 votes

over three times the favs more comments, over tripe the votes for a newbie to the category.

So the above example is the reason the lit readership here is unsophisticated because they do not worship his writing, and that is the only reason.

That is why his posts are full of.....excuses, nothing but child like loser mentality excuses as to why others do better here than he does. Its could never be the other authors have talent, it could never be his material is not as good as he thinks it is and of course it is never about the readers knowing what they like.

Its that its a free site full of hack writers who do everything the wrong way, to kiss the ass of those unsophisticated readers (I think they have bee referred to as flat out stupid before as well) yes, that is what it is, because obviously we are all missing out on the literary genius amongst us.

Yep......thousands upon thousands of readers and authors here are wrong, he is right.

That's all the time I'll waste on this, want to know all about the smartest and only disciplined real writer here? Start looking at his numbers compared to others in his chosen category.

Oh, and Pilot? I will save you the trouble of coming back with your patented "I'm at the top spot on the most popular list all the time" crap. That list is based on being prolific, not talent and if you need an example?

Freddie's latest alt is always at or near the top in incest and other categories because of how many stories they put out. So if you want to claim that list has anything to do with talent, I guess you'll have to put yourself in the company of Freddie.

Dig deep for your next excuse Pilot, plenty of people are waiting to hear it. Okay I lied, no one really cares. Enjoy wallowing in your loser mentality and making excuses. If they ever give a W for it, it will be all yours.

Cunt only has four letters , its within their stunted vocabulary. They also have to say it here because they would get slapped in the mouth by any woman they said it to in real life.

But....it is the official word of the GB as it comes straight from the top.

 

[lovecraft68]

Yeah, but you always come across as kind of tongue in cheek(no pun on your AV) these idiots have real hate behind them. Mostly because going by their post counts, most are jobless and collecting welfare which is why the GB is a haven for Obama supporters.

Oh, sorry, a little GB just slipped out of me, just now.

 

[SandraMustard]

I think I will stop this right now...

I detect a flaw in your logic. You said you'd stop it but then proceeded to start another round. I was hoping to read something back on topic from you after that opening line, but you can't help yourself either. While your battles are milder and more individualized than GB rancor, I find myself skipping over most posts by you two or entire threads that get hijacked. I wish EVERYBODY could tone down the arguing.

 

[TxRad]

There is a week, more or less, left to get a story in.

Just sayin'. Procrastination is rampant.

[RejectReality]

Working on mine again. I've finished most of the shuffling, and I'm puzzling a good line to end the first scene on. The beginning of the second is already there, because that was done before the shuffle, and still works.

If I don't come up with anything soon, I may skip that transition, work on scene two, and then come back to it later.

This is pretty much last chance. If I don't have it done by Tuesday evening, there's no way I'm making the deadline for the contest. I'm way too frazzled after work to accomplish anything of late.

 

[lovecraft68]

Well three days in on mine and looking at the number of votes I think I can predict that the score it currently has is pretty much where it will sit barring any crazy sweep activity.

Did get some bombs overnight though so my projection of where the story will finish has a couple of points added for those being removed.

Yeah that one specific line can be a PIA. I have an OCD approach with my writing and can't go on unless the previous part is finished so will end up stewing until it comes to me.

Many times I'll start throwing darts, not even aiming just throwing and try to let the mind open up, other times I walk around the room saying the lines out loud.

My wife said I remind her of Jim Carey in Pet Detective "Finkle and Einhorn....Finkle and Einhorn.....

I'm not procrastinating! I'm working on Halloween today. The research part anyway. (I love that part.)

Halloween is going to be an issue for me, so as of right now....I'm not wasting time thinking about it. I'll start sweating it end of September.

 

[RejectReality]

Ended up cutting a couple of lines from the end of scene 1 and leaving it there for now. Still don't like the ending line, but I may come up with something later.

Working on the second scene, but keep getting interrupted.

 

[Sammael Bard]

Halloween is going to be an issue for me, so as of right now....I'm not wasting time thinking about it. I'll start sweating it end of September.

I have written 11 pages for the Halloween Contest. That was during the first week of August. I have the plot, but just need to finish it.

 

[sr71plt]

I have two written for the Halloween contest.

 

[MSTarot]

And submitted.

Well, in the contest so lets hope this one does well. It's a bit long winded but it was the story I wanted to tell.

Thank you pl.

Now to sit back and rest.

Okay resting done now I have got to go get a Halloween story written.

 

[lovecraft68]

At least you have a good start, I got....nada, zilch, ungots, nothing.....Jack shit.....you get the point.

Show off.....

Even my wife is bugging me (not buggering me, that was a different thread today)

"How can you have the name Lovecraft and not be ready for Halloween?"

I tired to remind her she picked my lit handle, but....yeah, you know how it goes.

 

[Sammael Bard]

At least you have a good start, I got....nada, zilch, ungots, nothing.....Jack shit.....you get the point.

Well, I did start, but there's a doubt of completing it.

Hence I said before Nude day, Summer Lovin' etc. etc. and ended up not submitting.

what's wrong with obama? he's a dapper dood, eh?
