Welp, there went nothing. Figured out some tags to include and sent in my erotic recreation of The Raven (with far fewer dead wives and far more magical shopkeepers)

Or just as they can with utter impunity under the current ‘system.’

I'mma need a healthy sweep just to reach a red H!

 

[ChloeTzang]

Holy gucamole. that list has grown!!!!!!!

I feel your pain.

And if a writer as good as you is being downvoted, what chance have us regular folk got?

 

[Djmac1031]

Damn, this contest seems awfully one bomby this year.

yeah my entry was riding pretty high for awhile then all of a sudden...

Evidence suggests it might not be as good a story as I thought, but

There's only so much one can do. It's a good contest anyway; the stories I've read have been on a par with anything from past contests.

@EmilyMiller,
as a writer, you are not regular folk. You are royalty!

Sweet of you to say. Inaccurate, but still sweet.

Based on what I have read here, you are!

4.39 for a writer of your caliber is a fucking joke! I feel like we are living through The Purge.

Agreed! Just read the Halloween piece and gave it a deserving 5 stars

It definitely missed the mark, category-wise. Like posting a gleeful-slutwife story in LW.

Well. Maybe not that bad, lol. It was one of those stories that don't really seem to "fit" somehow. I'd forgotten how provincial the EH audience can be.

We'll see what the sweeps do.

My mistake too - humor and satire might have been better.

AI is doing so much better with hands. The fingers almost look normal though perhaps a tad too long.

They could be the hands from a larger cadaver

I appreciate the site giving me a hall pass for the comp. Might take a different approach to Valentine’s next year.
