Heidi and Thea and Barbi and Lexi brought me a few more followers, but no prize.

Most of my characters do at some point.Heidi and Thea are going down.
Interesting. I know I got a one early on -- my third vote -- but I have not seen it go away. My score is very steady and my votes roll in a few a day.Interesting. Got a vote swept.
I only know because it's been at 85 votes for days now, and that's an easy number to remember. 84 now, and the score pipped up a bit.
I noticed, was wondering when she took him home but was wearing a ring if it was maybe a female partner, and thought 'yay, was right' when the voice was female but not Heidi in the doorway....'You just spent the night in bed with my wife' coming from a guy is just so common here, I thought I'd twist it up a bit.
No one has mentioned it.
At the same time?I just got 69 votes...
Perhaps it's relevant that the sweeps mostly happen at the end of contests, so we might expect general downwards drift between contests?Just wondering, I haven't got a story in the challenge this time (going to enjoy being a reader) but my best rated stories are now steadily getting downvoted. Are the contest downvoting trolls spilling into the general top lists? I'm thinking it might be best to wait submitting my new story until the results are published if thats so.
No, it took a while to get all of them.At the same time?
Phew, I wasn't sure if you were reporting some jiggery-pokery.No, it took a while to get all of them.
Those are very good numbers. Well done. Feeling jealous.4.65/410

I’ve also gained 11 followers since the story was published, and those are probably from this story.
It just dropped off the “new” page so these probably won’t change much before the end of the contest. In just a few days it has done better than my other stories that have been out for months. I’m very happy with the responses.
I had a different ending in mind when I started writing, but when I got to this point it just felt right.
It's in Romance.Which category? 410 votes would be an astronomical number on any of my stories, especially on under 14k views. Good comment ratio, too.
Romance. There were only five or six new stories each day, so I was on the New page for five days. Also, I specifically asked for votes and comments so that might have helped as well. Your “picture” story asked for votes in a more subtle way. (So that you know I did steal your start and finish comments as the starting point for mine, I just edited them a little.)Which category? 410 votes would be an astronomical number on any of my stories, especially on under 14k views.

Interesting. Perhaps I should be posting there next time.There were only five or six new stories each day, so I was on the New page for five days.
My story last month in Romance got a very similar rating (4.68 vs 4.65), slightly higher votes/view but fewer views. Maybe the extra views are from the contest effect. Or maybe there were slightly fewer submissions recently than there were last month. My memory is that there were eight the day mine debuted.Romance.
