Ignoring someone is so much fun. You should try it, LC.

I never ignore anyone...well scouries at times because his posts take up the whole damn screen.

Now if you could find me an ignore feature that worked in real life? I'd gladly pay for it.

Imagine that? Sitting at some boring dinner party or family gathering and being able to just not see or hear certain people?

You keep talking to all the people except them and don't bother to reply to any of their rambles directed at you.

They get the message.

That's true, but there is that whole etiquette thing and usually the dinner things are all my wife's friends and their husbands and I get the "you're being rude" hissed in my ear.

I mean you drift off during one conversation and when you come back you say "are you still talking?" and suddenly you're rude.

Meanwhile, back at the contest, there seems to have been a fairly large sweep earlier.

I still haven't seen anything, not even a mini....maybe they haven't swung through group yet.

 

[patientlee]

I lost 2 a couple of days ago, but nothing today.

 

[sr71plt]

Lost just three votes over the past weeks--ones I didn't mind losing.

For those of you tired of listening to the dumb one and his bowlful ALT ... and fed up with the ridiculous, endless bickering between lovergirl and ace ...there is an alternative...

A clever, intelligent, interesting contest thread ...

Haven't seen any sweeps on mine, but I've been at work most of the time. I'm still picking up enough votes on a daily basis that three or four could get swept between looks 10+ hours apart and I'd have no clue.

 

[rippitydoo]

He appears on pretty much every thread you do.

You guys are lits version of a Fart and the odor.

The person I was writing to/about (whose post I quoted) was you... Never mind referring to yourself in the third person, though; It's oddly ironic, since you are the fart & the smell on your own.

Se what I did there?

Which time?! When you forgot the apostrophe ("Lit's"), or when you misspelled the 3-letter word ("see")? Either way, I clearly saw it, & it only further keeps you on theme, while simultaneously proving you need to work harder on your "craft" (if we're referring to your Username) or "crap" (if we're being honest about your posts & other work).

 

[lovecraft68]

Yes, that's an awesome thread.....that has not seen a post in just about a year

 

[rippitydoo]

Which one?! None you were ever involved in; That's for sure...

...Or are you referring to someplace where someone (allegedly) "stole" your work (which is the equivalent of going into debt voluntarily).

I'm not a troll, nor am I your friend, which leaves your grand total at 0.

Today is supposed to be the day.

 

[lovecraft68]

Still no sweep on mine, not even a small one, unless I lost/ gained a few last night and the score stayed the same.

 

[BuckyDuckman]

I saw signs of a sweep yesterday evening - my vote count went down by 1 at some point yesterday. However, my page view count went up by over 500. No change in my score, though. So, I'm guessing my vote count may have gone down by more than 1 since my last check and also gained a view votes after the latest sweep.

All conjecture on my part, of course.

Overnight, I gained 1 more vote while gaining just under 300 page views.

Win or lose, watching this story as been interesting. This story has generated 6 times the number of votes than the rest of my Lit library. It's nearly doubled the number of votes of my second highest vote earning entry.

As for earning favorites? This story has been just as remarkable, with this story earning nearly 6 times my usual average of favorites.

By comparison, I've been lucky enough to have one of my stories topping the Hall of Fame for this year in another category and that story hasn't earned the number of votes or favorites as this Summer Lovin' contest entry has.

Just comparing my stats against my other stats. I haven't trolled the rest of the contest entries to compare scores. Just amazed with how this story is doing compared to the rest of my library.

Welcome to the incest category. The numbers are insane at times.

Welcome to the incest category. The numbers are insane at times.

Yeah, that's my guess for those stats, too. I removed my incest material last year in a fit of frustration, so I don't have those stats to compare against. I did toss up another incest piece for Survivor. That one isn't scoring as well, but it could be the kink doesn't satisfy incest readers as much as twin-cest.

I saw that on your page. Daughter pegging dad. That has limited appeal.

They are a simple crew in incest. If you give them their kink straight up they're happy and they are a friendly group comment wise.

But when you mix in additional kinks it seems they lose interest. For the most part they won't troll(unless you throw non con in there. NC incest will set them off big time) but they won't read or vote.

I saw this recently with "Mom is bound to please" it was an erotic bondage piece-not hardcore BDSM- the score was okay, but votes down, it didn't dawn on me that was why until reject reality pointed it out to me.

My SWB series only had a fraction of the views and votes my "fun" incest stories do. it had a lot of BDSM aspects as well as a lot of addiction, abuse etc...it was not the fun fluff they want.

So yeah "Oooh Twins!" will go over far better than pegging.

End-of-contest sweeping under way and/or finished.

[lovecraft68]

Congrats to the winners.

Especially to the AH's own weird Aussie Chick Elliebabe

 

[lovecraft68]

Wow. Just to show how crazy and for lack of a better word unpredictable these sweeps are...

Last contest I had around 550 votes and lost over 200 but finished with the same pre sweep score.

This time? I had at last look 546 votes. I lost 6 votes, just 6, score remained unchanged.
