Nude Day 2011 Contest Support Thread

[MatthewVett]

Well I feel that, in most cases, every story betters the contest, if only by adding diversity. I'd submit it.

 

[SuperHeroRalph]

Hi all, I would like a few opinions. I finished my Nude day story and it is slightly over 24,00o words. Knocking out a couple of thousands words probably wouldn't make a big difference since it's long anyway.

Would you enter it in the contest or break it down into a few chapters and submit it non=contest. It has been edited and I kind of like it. It is in loving wifes.

Just asking what others would do. I like playing in the contests but I doubt if loving wifes ever won any.
Thanks
DG Hear

I once entered a 30,000 word incest story in one of the contests, don't remember which contest or under what name, but it did fairly well, probably because it was incest. I did receive a few comments that the story was too long and other comments that the story was too short (lol).

From one dog to another, in the case of stories, I don't think size matters (lol). It's more the contents.

Good luck. I shall look forward to reading it.

I hear ya. Sitting on a finished story is so annoying. Sometimes I wish you could submit a story, than include it in the contest later, but that'd probably give unfair advantages. Ah well. Although I'm glad to hear Ralphie come out for quality against quantity.

 

[SuperHeroRalph]

Just because I write a lot of stories doesn't mean they are not quality pieces, LM.

I'm proud of everything I write. I don't post it, unless it's the best that I can do.

Many of my stories are better than the stories of those winning contests here. I just don't get the popular vote (lol), an understatement.

Yet, I don't post a story, until and unless it's done and I'll match any of my stories against any of your stories LM or any story by anyone on the site. Now, I couldn't write that if I didn't feel secure that my stories were worthy of my high praise and the high praise of others.

Just because a writer writes one or ten stories doesn't always make a difference in quality. It's the writer and not the number of stories that makes for quality.

Please refrain from taking cheap shots at me, when I've never written anything derogatory about you or your writing, LiquidMathew.

Absolute bullshit!!!!!

Quite frankly ralphie you’re an embarrassment.

And no I’m not going to get into a long detailed analysis of your work or compare it to other authors. Nor is its quality vis-à-vis other authors on the site the point. The point is that you’re dumping half finished garbage on our unsuspecting readers when you could do so much better.

You’re lowering the quality of the contest (and this of course reflects on all contest authors) and chasing potential readers away by flooding the contest with your trash.

You claim above that it’s “the best I can do.” It’s not and you know it’s not. You and your predecessor nom de plume andtheend have dumped these un-thought out, unplanned, unedited, unplotted stories on us for 18 months, all the while claiming it was the best you could do.

Your output is childlike - it’s time you grew up my boy! If you want your work ever to be taken seriously you’ll have to take it seriously first. Simply getting up every morning and typing merrily away for four or five hours without any thought isn’t writing my friend – a monkey can do that.

You’re a joke! The problem for the rest of us is that the laughter (and pity) that your work evokes reflects on all of us. To have one of our contest entries buried between three or four of yours is the kiss of death. After reading one of your stories, a story you didn’t even reread after your flurry of typing ceased (let alone edited), how likely is it that your poor battered reader will turn to another contest entry?

And that of course is one of the reasons that the greats, the LITEROTICA FAVORITES, so seldom participate in these contests.

It's up to you to decide - remain the court jester, the fool, or actually set out on the path to becomming a better author. I for one believe you could be so much better.​

Scabbies, you forget PositiveThinker, BOSTONFICTIONWRITER, CarBuffStuff, and WmForrester, who's I Love You Mommy with 765,000 hits was the most read story in all of 2010 and is presently #177 on the all time list and still climbing, up from 250th place in just 6 weeks.

Now, let's just compare my stories to your stories. Ah, but we can't, now can we? You only write juvenile incest stories, stories with no character development and with the same stale plot. I can't bring myself to write the shit that you write. I'm sorry, but I must write real stories that are believable.

I truly cannot see your point that I'm doing anything wrong by writing stories on a story site, especially when the owner, Laurel, has posted that there is no limit to the number of contest stories that can be entered in a contest. So, what's your point? Obviously Laurel believes that I'm helping the site and not hindering the contest.

Is it that you're jealous that you cannot come up with an idea for a story other than Mommy I Screamed or Daddy I Yelled?

See? Just off the top of my head I gave you inspiration for two new, albeit old and tired incest stories.

Listen, Scabbies, instead of writing true stories about your life and escapades with your blowup doll Gabby, why not try your hand at writing fiction? Release your mother from the attic, sign the papers to commit your father, untie your daughter, and teach your son that incest is not always best.

What I've done by entering the Survivor contest has made me a better writer by writing in so many categories. What I've done by entering so many stories in the theme contests have given me more exposure. Maybe I've missed something in your message and/or in the way you deliver it, but what have you done other than to bring this site down, embarrass yourself, piss off everyone, and annoy the owners?

I'm embarrassed to confess this, but I'm an accountant by profession and numbers is what I do. Did you know that I've already amassed more than 50 million hits or reads. I realize you eroneously call them sales, of course. Wishful thinking on your part, I'm afraid. Yet, whatever you call them, subtracting all the "sales" you've added to your stories, how many real hits have you amassed for your stories?

I'm approaching 1,000 stories with more than 6 million words, Scabbies. Not counting stolen graphics and the lunacy you post on the forum board, how many stories and words do you have? This is a story site, after all, and not a picture site.

I'm here to practice writing and be a better writer? Truly, we're not here for the same reasons. So, tell me. I'm curious. Why are you here?

I don't bother you or anyone on this site. I just write my stories. Yet, every time I post anything, I'm attacked. Is it because I'm so good and your so jealous that I'm your target?

Are you trying to ride my coattails (I can only imagine the graphic he'll post to this)?

People on this site have always taken their turn to take cheap shots at me from DanielleKitten, to SelenaKitten, to PrincessErin, to Todd, to you and others.

Why? Am I such a threat to you? Have you no life that you must continually make an ass of yourself by being such a little prick? Has your mother not taught you any manners? Besides being insane, what's wrong with you. Never mind, I really don't want to know.

I write stories. That's what I do. I dare say that I've forgotten more stories than you'll write in your lifetime.

Until Laurel asks me to leave, I'll be writing my stories the best that I can write them. Because I'm so passionate about writing and so dedicated in creating my stories and characters, I get better every year.

Good luck with your writing and I hope you don't fall off your rowboat from staring at your image in the water.

See, I'm not criticizing your writing, I'm just saying, you constantly bring in numbers and nothing but numbers. That's why I was happy to hear you mention quality over quantity, since it seems every other post mentions how many words and stories you submit.

 

[LunaEroticaMystica]

Woohoo, finished my story! Now for editing and revising.

 

[SuperHeroRalph]

Words and numbers is what this site is all about, English and Math. Get used to thinking with both sides of your brain. With that written, I dare say that I write more words than I do numbers.

There's nothing wrong with being proud of my accomplishments, especially when there's no one singing my praises, only bashing my stories. You can always put me on ignore if my few posts bother you so much.

QUOTE little ralphie Scabbies, you forget PositiveThinker, BOSTONFICTIONWRITER …

Same old, same old… sad really.

No ralphie you don’t get better every year!

From our viewpoint here at ScouriesWorld
the worst part of your act is the pretending to be our old friend freddie . He was a man of integrity and class – just the opposite of your greedy meanness.

freddie, in both his stories and posts, always stood up for the little man. He believed in a society where every single person, no matter his or her color or religion or background, would be able to participate fully. This was not a man who’d engulf a contest with a tsunami of unedited stories just to jack up a pitiful number of views. He was a fair man! He never would have wanted to hog the limelight by burying the stories of others under his. He was not the type of man who would have insulted our readers like you try to do every single day.

As for laurel I think its pretty clear by now to just about everyone that she doesn’t give a damn about these contests. Her actions over the past years (banning chaptered stories but allowing her lap dogs to enter them, allowing voting to be turned off, allowing mr cut and paste full rein, etc., etc.) clearly indicate her thinking. And she ignores any and all suggestions for improvement. I suspect allowing you to ruin them as you’re now doing by burying our readers in your output is a strategy on her part – I believe she’s hoping you’ll be the last nail in the coffin.

As for you improving as a writer: I can’t claim to have read all the stories you and your ALT andtheend have foisted on us over the last 18 months but I do know one thing about the stories you submit to the site daily – they’re half-assed!

And no I’m not saying you can’t write or that you’re the worst author on the site. What you are instead is a lazy bum who simply can’t stop himself from submitting a story (no matter its readiness) the second he’s written the last word.

ralphie you’d have us believe you’re some kind of idiot-savant who can wake up at 5 in the morning without a thought in your head and yet by noon hour have typed a masterpiece that’s ready for publication. And then do it the next day and then the next. You have the idiot part down pat but you lack the savant part of the equation.

If you truly want to improve don’t write anything new for the next month. Instead sit back and take the time to read each one of your NUDE DAY contest entries. Send them out for editing. Look at them critically. Ask yourself if the story was the best you could do. Examine the dialogue. Rework the plots. Rewrite. Edit them again.

Its time you developed some PRIDE in your work.

As for the boss he has no interest in getting into a pissing contest over numbers with you. Even though you continually insult his friend freddie, he, for the good of this wonderful site, is willing to forgive you (and even help you with advice). I think this is why this wonderful man has become such a FAVORITE AUTHOR of our readers while being able to reap the financial rewards that come with his ROYALTIES.​

[LettersFromTatyana]

I had to rescue this thread from the second page. Quelle horreur!

Does this mean I'm the only one still waffling about submitting a story? Or struggling with said story?

Please tell me I'm not.

I have a very long one (story that is) ready to go. Working on a second story if I can get it to come together.

There will be quite a few submissions. Usually is for nude day.
DG

 

[MatthewVett]

I have two ready. I'm still sorta editing one. I think it came out really well. We'll see how it does. Hope everyone likes classic sci-fi.

 

[Darkniciad]

I've got one I'm fiddling with, but time's running out fast, and the pacing is feeling off to me. When I get that sensation, it's usually not a quick fix...

Mulling over a couple of other ideas, but the time factor once again arises, and they may be better suited to Summer anyway.

 

[diggypop]

Hmmm...

I may submit a story. I have an idea for one, but if it doesn't catch fire I won't bother with it.

But really, I suspect my never having submitted to this contest before is the main reason I'm curious to try.

Because as has been noted, there is just enough similarity between these three consecutive contests to make it all seem a bit repetitive. I think a little change-up in themed contests could only help. Nude day automatically sounds playful and silly, which is fine, but I like the idea of a bit broader theme, one that can encompass everything from the goofy to the heartfelt.

It would also give a bit more variety. As it is, if someone's been entering this contest for years, the temptation to spin your wheels has to be strong. How about something that forces everyone to stretch?

Just off the top of my head, I can think of a host of theme ideas. How about music, fairy tales (some very good anthologies have been published on that theme, with authors both modernizing classic tales and making their own), advertising, food, and competition, for starters?

The idea of using the official categories is OK, also. But let's face it, those tend to have their own cliches and unwritten rules. The danger of rutting (if you'll forgive the pun) is as great if not greater. Now come on, let's shake things up! And quickly, I'd hate to think I wrote "She left me for a kielbasa" for nothing...

 

[zeke253]

Wow....quite a tussel

My, my, my... I have been reading here at Literotica for years, but only recently signed on and have started writing... However, after reading this thread, and the political, social and otherwise demeaning banter between writers I am not sure I would want to submit.

I thought this was about enjoying the writing. I am not against criticism, as it helps us all get better, but this has dampened my spirit about getting into this in any serious way. It appears that if you are good, or become good or become widely read, and have a great deal of joy in your writing, you are subject to a potential meatgrinder of abuse. (I realize I have parachuted in with an outsiders view before you blow me away with I must not know or understand)

Oh, by the way, my real reason for reading into this thread, was to understand, having never submitted on Literotica or in an contest, when it says nude, is that defined? ....Like, is naked with shoes nude?

 

[sr71plt]

It appears that if you are good, or become good or become widely read, and have a great deal of joy in your writing, you are subject to a potential meatgrinder of abuse.

Oh, absolutely. That's a natural phenomenon of Internet bulletin boards.

What equality on the Net means is attemting to bring everyone else down to the lowest common denominator.

 

[TxRad]

Oh, by the way, my real reason for reading into this thread, was to understand, having never submitted on Literotica or in an contest, when it says nude, is that defined? ....Like, is naked with shoes nude?

Nude is without clothing. Shoes on the other hand are optional.

 

[bashfullyshameless]

So tell me if this needs a preemptive disclaimer/warning

So the "nude day" story that I have in mind will involve, among other things, an attractive (isn't everybody, really?) mother who is nude in front of her son for a large chunk of the story. There will be sex here, there and everywhere...but there will be no mother-son action, 'cause to me, that totally wouldn't fit.

Regardless of the fact that they're both hot and that seems to mean they have to have sex. But they won't. 'cause, you know. It's not gonna be an incest story.

Do I need to say, up front, that there will be rampant sex without incest in the story? As an author's note or anything? Is that likely to get me reader rage, or is it more likely to simply seem like a spoiler?

If you don't put it in the incest category, you shouldn't be setting off any incest category reader rage.
