Emily’s NEW positivity and being nice to each other thread

[Smuttyandfun]

You have to vote in order to see the score. Which is good, it makes it harder for trolls to target stories. I'll toss you a vote and report back.

And thanks!

Thanks! In past years I thought you could see how the stories were scoring, but this year it looks like you do have to vote.

 

[Smuttyandfun]

Sorry that I don't have better news.

Thanks. I imagined it would be somewhere in the middle of the pack, and there it is!

I didn't realize that so few people vote. But I guess not too many readers would even know where to find it.

 

[MelissaBaby]

... what the hell, I'm in a competition?!

brb, voting for someone else.

You're in a tough category. mscheryltierra has 7 Blue W's.

As compared to a trifling 5 for Wanda? Five’s nothing, why even I have… er… zero.

There are far better romances in that category than mine; I'm humbled I'm in the list but in my opinion I shouldn't be!

Yeah, almost two and a half million members and last year, I won in Humor and Satire with 18 votes out of a total of 40.

BTW, it just now hit me that it looks like I'm going to win that category in back to back years. It's a dynasty!

Like I said, tough category.

 

[MelissaBaby]

Congrats!

What really makes me happy is that if I win Humor again, it will be with a story from the 750 Word Challenge.

Respect for the 750s!

I know they're fun to write!

You should be in Lesbian, which is where I looked first.

Wanda's story 'Autumn' is in Romance. I voted for it, it was a good story.

Me too - but she writes lesbian wonderfully .

She really does.

Good luck with this voting thing, you lot. I peeked at it a while back and decided I did not have the time or inclination to read enough of the entries to make even a vaguely informed decision. I was a little surprised that individual chapters of long series were eligible.

 

[onehitwanda]

She really does.

you guys are making me blush.

>>>How Story & Poem Category Nominees Are Decided:

On the 15th of every month, we tally up the votes from stories submitted during the previous month. The story in each category with the best voting score compared to all other stories submitted that month is automatically eligible for that year's Literotica Author Awards voting. These are posted every month on the Literotica Member Page. (Follow the Literotica account to receive notifications of contests!)

At the end of the year, we have 12 nominees in each category. The 5 stories in each category with the best voting scores at the end of the year will go on to the final voting. One will be selected in each category – by voting in this contest – as the top story for that year. If there are less than 5 nominees in a category, the top scoring submissions in that category during the calendar year become eligible.

If a single author had duplicate nominations in a category, we choose only the top scoring story as eligible in order to give more authors a chance to be read & appreciated. If there are less than 5 nominees in a category, multiple submissions from the same author may be eligible. Stories with 50 or more votes are given priority.

Turning off voting on a submission at any point during the year disqualifies the submission from any and all contests or awards, as does removing submissions or membership from the site.

The Special Category Nominees were selected by the nominating process that took place here. In the case of a tie, the authors who contributed the most stories and poetry during the year received the nomination. Author self-nominations are excluded from the tally in the case of a tie.<<<

I vaguely remember reading that around the same time I noticed the voting. I suppose it makes sense, but it doesn't change the fact that (to pick one example from contestants) I would be reluctant to read the first 95 chapters of a story in order to feel like I understand the chapter being voted on.

That's the most delayed response I've ever seen! But thank you.

Off topic, I love your new PFP
(Now that you've changed it, I'll go ahead and tell you that while I didn't dislike your old pfp, I did think that it looked like the Pagemaster)

I get that.

It was too severe.

It’s kinda silly as both the old and new had exactly the same input.

I like the new one, but then again, I love anime.
I mean, I think it looks a teensy bit young, but otherwise it looks very nice.

Yeah. I tried to get the AI to make it older.

But it seems in Hentai you’re a teen or a crone.

Wisdom lies heavily upon the countenance of the anime lady.
