Hey Cool! I have my own bunch of sycophants!

[kiwiwolf]

According to one bit of annonymous feedback I received tonight I have my very own bunch of sycophants whose sole mission in life, so it seems, is to high vote my stories. Aint I a lucky boy.

ALL of the feedback I have received so far has been really great. I have had a lot of errors pointed out to me and this is what I am after. If someone wants to criticise my story I say go to it. I love constructive criticism. It is what will ultimately make me a better writer.

What feedback horror stories do you have to share?

When I first started posting on lit, this one reader started following me around, posting after every post I'd posted. He would send feedback on every story "You're improving! Now, if you could just work on (this) for the next story, it'll be even better!" - I guess once I hit 40 submissions and 3000 posts, it got to be too much work for him

Hey, you know, I get that too. Well, mostly from the dramadom over yon. All of Lit is my oyster and all of you people are my sychophants if you aren't on his side. If that were so, you people wouldn't disagree with me so often and tell me so to my face. Darn it.

Not that this is a bad thing. "Yes, Muffie" gets boring unless there are handcuffs, whips, a feather, some currants, and a blindfold involved.

currants?

i've gotta get out more.



kiwiwolf, i have a distinct feeling that it wouldn't take much effort on your part to see yourself in print. good on you for being openminded and looking at your feedback in a positive way.


i find it interesting that now and then my scores used to take a dip dive... i think i had a couple of readers who believed it was okay to vote every time they re-read one of my stories. i take that as a compliment

Handcuffs, whips, a feather, some currants and a blindfold? Muffie, I thought you weren't going to share our secrets with people .

Currants?

Dear KM,
Could you give some more information on the currants? Sounds fascinating.

Hmm

Could be electrical currants MG.

KM could you give more information on the feather, ie: what kind of bird should it ideally be plucked from.

Sychophants, and toadies.

I've had various feedback(Not here, I haven't posted anything here yet.) ranging from fawning platitudes to obscene threats, and abuse. Of the two, I preferr the latter. At least it's more honest.

I agree completely. I just enjoy reading the complimentry stuff, then I delete it. I save the raunchy things. They're lots more fun.

Ahhh then you stuff the goose and peacock with the currants and bake for an hour and a half at 180 degrees celcius... gotcha.


My sycophants seem to be doing the job well. I am at number 4 on the top list and have an average vote of 4.88. Go toadies go...

Actually the message was enough to get me wondering whether all the votes are legit or whether friends are voting me up jusat for the sake of it. I really hope not. I want my stories to sink or swim on thier own merit.

Speaking of feathers...

You DO know the difference between kinky and perverted, don't you?

Kinky is when you use a feather to tickle your partner.

Perverted is when you use the whole hen...

Oh rofl SF. Very good.

Kiwiwolf: Don't worry about your friend voting you up. It'll balance out the number of arseholes who vote you down cause you're doing well, so your stories will move overall on their own merit.
