And you dragged me along with you. And I dragged MST along with me. I don't know what you were thinking for all of us!

I can't say that for me It's been anything more than filling out a scorecard with what I would have written already.

I've not really gone out of my way to write more than I normally do. And I try to write in as many categories as I can just for the fun of it anyway.

So I posted yesterday my story went up that one point again...it got bombed right about the time the new score showed on the public page.

I also picked up a new troll (or old one returning) who hit four of my older stories with nasty comments, He's one of those that uses all caps. I guess so I can hear him better

Brilliant. Well, you made me laugh.

Out of curiosity (I checked to see how it scored overall), it doesn't appear to be listed on your submissions page?

Oh, it's a brand-new one? Hadn't realised (I'm editing so my concentration is elsewhere). Good luck.

Oh, sure, you couldn't use my name in an erotic poem

My erotic poems are even worse. You're better off in a snarky one. Trust me.

Yeah. I was laughing at the conversation about survivor yesterday because I was waiting for it to go up. I'm glad it made you laugh. I think I'm fricking hilarious.

fluctuating votes

My number of votes seems to be going up and down like waves on the ocean. Tuesday I lost 13 that gradually crept up, but today I lost another 4. I didn't know you could go back and cancel votes.

Someone has to, right?

I'm not sure about funny, but I think I'm clever sometimes...

I leave little comments in stories that are meant as jokes and see if any of them get mentioned. They never do so I forget about them.

Then last week someone made my day e-mailing me and telling me they caught it

The line was.

"I swore she was staring at my crotch, nah, that's nuts."

Get it, crotch, nuts?

Yeah, clever.....

They're sweeping so you're losing votes from that, but then gaining new ones back, which apparently are being swept again...

I think someone posted this to the Halloween thread. It fits. Seven seconds you will never get back.

umm yeah....I did

 

[Kethandra]

Lol. Was that before or after the story nuts reference?

 

[Carnal_Flower]

Finally saw some movement on mine. Lost 9 votes. A tiny gain. But I also saw movement in a few older stories as well.

 

[sr71plt]

I lost thirty-some votes on one last night.

The title and description of one of my stories refers to a tune which is featured in and is the theme of the story, but no one's mentioned it to me. It's either completely obvious, or it's too obscure. I'm not going to spell it out though.

 

[geronimo_appleby]

sweep kicked in. score rocketed from 4.05 up. not enough to do any damage to the contest, though.

Yeah, I've lost about 50 votes over the last week. Didn't make much difference to the score though. Not enough to put me in contention.

For me the plus comes from 55,000 downloads, over 1,500 votes and 114 comments (mainly positive) You don't expect good scores in Loving Wives.

well, i'm in gay male ... the air's rarer there. although LW is a rather interesting demographic.

mad cunts, the most part.

 

[lovecraft68]

Anyone else have one in Lesbian?

I have yet to see so much as a single vote swept.

Tell me about it I had a couple of foul mouthed attack today from someone who seemed to be upset that I was British. Poor demented soul doesn't realise that I can delete his garbage a lot faster than he can write it.
