Nude Day 2011 Contest Support Thread

[SuperHeroRalph]

And now for an actual answer . . . yes, you are correct, the winners are based on score and score alone, assuming you have twenty-five votes after the sweeps.

Yes, of course, the actual, pretend answer.

Yet, one only needs to read the winning contest stories against those other stories written by better writers that never, ever win.

We all know how things work around here. You'd have to be an idiot to think that this is a story contest rather than a popularity contest. Yet, no matter, it's still fun to write the story. The story and not the prize is what it's all about.

I never said it what kind of a contest it is; I just said how it was won. This is a contest on a story site, based on readers' opinions; popularity obviously plays into readers' opinions, though I don't necessarily see that as a bad thing.

I'm not sure why everyone gets so worked up about this process. Political elections, the cars companies choose to sell in a particular country, the goods we get in a store . . . so many things around us are based on aggregate consumer opinion and demand. I often don't agree with the aggregate outcome, but I don't point to that discrepancy as the leading reason for the outcome being wrong. Besides, unlike presidential elections or the cars I can choose from, my everyday life is not impacted by who happens to come out on top of a contest like this.

Over the years I've read winning entries that I thought were superb and winning entries that I thought were terrible; I smile in the case of the former and shake my head at the latter, and forget about it after about a minute or so. I wish I could say the same about elections . . . .

Please pardon me a moment, while I get on my soapbox. There.

I don't want to embarrass anyone by mentioning names, but I know of one writer who entered 30 stories in the Valentine's Day contest, 14 in the Earth Day contest, and I'm just guessing that I'll, I mean, he or she will enter 20 stories in the Nude Day contest and, even though one story is better than the other, I, I mean, he or she won't have a Hell's chance of winning (lol) the Nude Day contest.

This is a great site, a wonderful place for writers. Isn't it time we all took a stand and made this a better place for all of us? Aren't you as tired of the bashers and unfairness as I am? Wouldn't it be wonderful if we all had this one place where we could write in peace and be free from all the bullshit that goes on in the world.

We can do that. It would take a unified effort, but we can change this site for the better of all of us.

Ralph, my story--assuming I finish it sometime later this week--includes the image of a Marianne-like woman running through the streets of Cambridge while holding the French Tricolore and shouting liberté, égalité, fraternité.

She doesn't actually do it, but seeing as you live nearby, perhaps you should take up her cause, literotica style. You can make your own banner and have your own rallying cry.

Oh, gees, don't get me started on Cambridge (lol). Cambridge is where all the crazy people live. Cambridge is thick with Harvard and MIT students. Cambridge is where my ex creative writing teacher, the late, great, Dr. Robert Parker of Spencer for Hire fame, lived with his estranged wife. She lived on the first floor and he lived on the second floor.

Cambridge is a wonderful place for inspiration, while sitting on a bench on Cambridge Common and watching the world walk by, as a microcosm of society from the homeless to the grad student to the professor to the business man to the unemployed, they are all represented, all while being seranaded by a half dozen beggers playing a half dozen different instruments.

Other than Boston, Cambridge is the perfect backdrop for a story.

Good luck in the contest.

My second story didn't post till late morning. Kind of lost a half day. It's alright though. At least it got posted. Romance (What to do?) That's the name of it. LOL
Guess we'll see how it does. Have a good day.

Yes, Ralphie, Cambridge. The back rooms of the Peabody, where may be found one of the world's greatest collections of Moche-Mochica pottery outside of South America. The public display of these representations of daily, and not-so-daily life sytematically excludes the explicit sexual representations for which the cultures are famed; only one of the 100-odd pieces in the exhibit is sexual, and it depicts a spoon-position, with nothing embarrassing in view. But in the back rooms...
In storage are hundreds of works, each showing a different approach to coupling (and even solo), accessible only to qualified researchers. Perhaps a lovely young grad student is undertaking research for her dissertation, "The Semiotics of Sex: Much Ado Among The Moche," and has questioned the feasibility of many of the positions depicted. Her advisor, a senior full professor and former chairman of the department, helpfully joins her in an exercise in "experimental archaeology," wherein they re-enact the depiction in each piece to test for practicality and pleasure...

Don't worry about him, Maj; after all, playing with yourself is very common here at Literotica, and, most assuredly, quite acceptable.

…we can hardly wait for the next twenty entries from little ralphie

Are the scores surprising given this start:​

I awakened to pee again. Never did I awaken to pee before I started having inappropriate dreams and incestuous fantasies about my mother. I always slept through the night. Waking up in the middle of the night to pee is an old man thing but I'm not an old man. I'm only 22-years-old. Now, after I dreamt about my mother naked again, I awaken with a huge erection. Then, unable to get back to sleep, I have to get up to pee.

WTF??? Talk about lady gaga!!! Is this English???​

You'e just jealous, Scabbies, that you are unable to write in more than one category...incest.

Tell me, how many stories can you possibly write about Mommy Moaning and Daddy Groaning, before losing your mind?

Never mind. Don't answer that. Obviously, I'm writing to a lunatic.

I'll match any of my stories with any of your stories.

Besides, it doesn't matter what you think. Everything is arbitrary and subjective. What you like, I don't and vice versa.

You'll have to bear with me, as I only have another two dozen stories to post (lol) to the Nude Day contest.

And if you don't like it, well...tough titties (rof and lmao).

Is susie q really Catherine Greig?

Let’s hope so!!!!

Paragraph #2: Yet, before I pee, I'm so horny for dreaming about my mother naked that I need some sexual relief. I can't help myself. I stand over the toilet and masturbate over all that I dreamt of my mother. Now a nightly occurrence, having lustful dreams of my Mom, getting up to pee, and masturbating, before peeing, I haven't masturbated as much over the thoughts of having sex with my Mom in years.

[HeyAll]

Truly, I don't understand how some stories take off, while other stories languish.

My Siblings Get Naked for Nude Day, albeit an incest story with other incest stories I've written not having done as well, has nearly 80,000 hits and 1,000 votes.

Granted, I've had stories with more hits and votes, but never a story that has amassed so many votes in a such a short period of time, little more than 24 hours. Wow.

Sometimes this site is a rollercoaster ride. The stories that I love and think will do well, don't, and the ones that I think will fail, go wild.

Go figure.

I've wondered that as well.


For instance, on the top's list, you can see stories with similar descriptions, yet some get way more views than others. And that doesn't necessarily mean that the ones that get more views get higher scores and more comments/favs.

http://www.literotica.com/top/most-read-erotic-stories/last-30-days/?mode=publishes


But on the flip side, it's a little depressing when you write something and think "man, this is brilliant, my best work, people are going to love it" and it doesn't really take off the way other stories you've written have.

Actually, Scabbies, I knew Whitey Bulger and his brother Billy Bulger. I used to go to Whitey's bar in South Boston on Sunday to buy beer. They didn't ask our age and charged us twice the amount for a six pack.

If you ask me, Billy Bulger, the President of the Mass senate and the president of the University of Mass was the more dangerous man.

An aside, Whitey's guy the Rifleman Fleming shot my cousin in the shoulder. Trying to shoot both men, he killed the man sitting next to him but only wounded my cousin. A marked man, my cousin was in the Witness Protection program for 25 years.

I think, after we develop, plan, create, write, rewrite, and edit our stories, we're just too close and biased to be judges of what's good and what's not so good.

We're lucky to have a site such as this that gives us immediate feedback.

Good luck in the contest.

For one thing, writers who have been here a long time and have a lot of stories are more recognized, and readers who like their work will go to their stories more readily than they do to somebody newer. For another, views does not mean complete reads. For a story of four Lit. pages, readers may need to go back several times, while once is enough for a shorter story.

I agree, it is depressing to have what is considered one's best work get only luke-warm acceptance.

 

[Darkniciad]

Gees, Dark, thanks for your vote of support that I could have a runaway story (lol) without the maniupulation of Scouries.

The proof will be after the sweeps to see how many votes I'll have left.

In the meantime, allow me to pretend (lol).

*Shrug* It could be an actual breakaway. I've had more than one baffle the shit out of me with the response before. Considering the recent track record of the far-above-and-beyond everything else in the contest 1000+ vote stories, I wouldn't hold my breath, though. I'd say that the odds are high it's more of scouries trying to create validations for his enormous fraud and even larger ego.

 

[Boxlicker101]

In defiance of Scouries, I just submitted my second contest entry. At least it and the first one are completely original, and don't recycle any characters from other stories.

 

[AlwaysHungry]

Whoa... I'm new to this discussion, and it looks a bit contentious at first blush. I have entered a number of past contests (unsuccessfully.) During the last one, the Earth Day edition, I noticed that towards the end of the contest, my number of votes began to go down, and my average score went steadily up. I infer from this that there are contestants who are "bombing" their competitors with negative votes, and that the Literotica management has some system for detecting and counteracting this. Can anyone inform me in better detail about what goes on here during these contests?

No better detail than you've already surmised (although who knows who is doing the multiple-vote bombing; it's logical it's other contestants, but there's no way for anyone but the Web site administrators to know that). There, indeed, is vote sweeping, and not just for the contests. But the formula for doing so hasn't been revealed--and probably won't be revealed, so that those interested in doing so won't have help figuring out how to circumvent it.

 

[scouries]

If I can talk my muse into cooperating, I will be entering the contest… My muse, the bitch has left me to struggle with the writing by myself. When she does sober up and returns … The two stories, which are only marginally about nudity, will probably do much better.. In defiance of Scouries, I just submitted my second contest entry. At least it and the first one are completely original, and don't recycle any characters from other stories a la darkboy!

Well, finally a post from another 1000+ VOTE club member, a “best seller” and a TOP 100 “MOST FAVORITED” author! It’s always nice to see great writers like Dr Heat and the boxman joining me in helping to lift the contest from it’s ralphian depths.

And while of course I lament your decision to enter more than one story in this contest I do understand your desire to show the LITEROTICA reading public that these THEMED contests can be more than recycled “Wood” stories, “sour” witchery, “ralphian” pee and wave after wave of Sci-Fi/NonHuman unerotica.

Good luck my good man!!!!​
