Welcome to the: The Official Author's Hangout Halloween Contest Support Thread.

It's almost over.

Just remember to beware of fake contests.

yes tex they're talkingg aabout you...


The following is post # 1120 on the a.i.r. contest support thread. He also posted exactly the same thing in posts #1001, 1004, 1008, 1010, 1012, 1015, 1022, 1024, 1026, 1030, 1034, 1044, 1046, 1051, 1055, 1061, 1065, 1068, 1075, 1076, 1078, 1104 and now 1120. The same post EIGHT times on the first page. FIVE on the next page! SIX on the third page! TWO times on the fourth. Now he’s got TWO on the fifth page. The same post 23 times. He's now up to 236 times posting the same thing (unless I’ve missed a few). Mind you this isn't a record for him.

So unfortunately I’m forced to share his disgusting posts on this thread. There are no free rides for enablers. Sorry…

are these three old babes enabling hate in AHland? Why? Do they get off on hate speech?

Why would our tiger lily threadmistress stand with the hate-mongerers? Simple jealousy? I guess the a.i.r. thread has been making hers look bad...

post #1120 on the A.I.R. Contest Support Thread. Let's all look at our AHland racists posts. We're prepared to expose him for what he is...sad really...

You know, Jim, that this just assures everyone it's getting to you. Just stop posting your nonsense and your headache will go away.

Dear "Jacqui" or Scouries

All of these recurring characters play supporting roles. They do not play the lead in the story. The contest entry works just fine as a stand-alone piece. But, again, if you object, please raise it to Laurel. She's the one who sets down the rules.

Dear bashful,

Jacqui passed your post on to me and I felt I should respond.

First off LAUREL has been made aware of the ScouriesWorld opinion on this issue. As for she being the one “who sets down the rules” there is the complicating factor that her “set down rules” are constantly being interpreted differently depending on the author involved.

We believe that authors who recycle characters, locations, plot lines through contest after contest are taking advantage of the other authors who enter new, completely original stories into the contests.

But fear not you are not alone. You are simply following in the footsteps of the likes of boxy, the dumb texan, the jayman, and the infamous darkboy who have all taken advantage of favorable royal rulings to enter these disguised chapters. In fact the jayman and darkboy have both won contests using these questionable tactics.

I must also point out dear bashful that you’ve also used another questionable tactic in this contest. You used the old “make the story so long only people who love it will get to the voting page” trick. And it clearly worked in this case! 4.90 as a score! Unheard of in most categories. And only possible on later chapters of long sagas and/or on these 7+ page stories.

9 LITEROTICA pages? 30,000+ words. Imagine if all 150+ stories in the contest had been this long? Our policy has always been one author - one story with a maximum length of three pages for all non-MANU Award winning authors.

Now did you use these two underhand strategies innocently or are you one of these authors that so abound in AHland who will use any trick to win a prize? I don’t know you so I can’t hazard a guess.

Mind you an independent observer might note that you used the same tactics to win an earlier contest and be suspicious of your motives here…​

 

[sr71plt]

I do think that you're on to something with that "make it so long only the 5 voters will stick it out" strategy.

Well if it isn’t the guy who’ll never admit he’s wrong! What a delight to see you opinionating on yet another topic. I believe my dear man that in this case you’re addressing the wrong party but given your present mental befuddlement it’s hard to interpret anything you post.

And don’t worry about these posts that seem to be upsetting you so much – there are only two or three left in the backlog and then we can all look forward to an end to this silliness.​

p.s. the negotiations are going swimmingly and I believe we'll have a contract signed by the first of the month...

[HeyAll]

So this is interesting.

My previous 3 mother/son stories all have over 1500 votes (one with 2000+ my summer entry) like most stories the majority of the votes come in the first week.

My contest entry alos mother son came out last Friday and is still shy of 500

I had a new Mother son story come out early this morning and it is already closing in on 500 votes so on pace with the others.

So I'm the same author, putting out the same type of stories with all the same numbers exceopt for the Halloween entry.

Very interesting. Makes me wonder.

I stopped trying to figure that out.

Every time an author puts out a story, it's a roll of the dice.

There have been times were I put out 3 mother/son stories which did a little less than what I was doing previously, and I was starting to wonder if I lost my appeal.

Then the following 3 mother/son stories I wrote after that did the biggest numbers I've ever done.

Now I just do what I what I need to do and whatever happens, happens.

 

[bashfullyshameless]

Holy shit. Y'know, I had a really lame day at work today. It was one of those "why do I even do this shit?" days fraught with pointless confrontations and insulting behavior on the part of people for whom I did a very big favor.

But then I came home to this, and it's like the sun came out:

It's not often that someone lodges a complaint against me that makes me so happy.

I almost don't even care if I win this contest now, 'cause I feel like I just won the Internet.

 

[sr71plt]

It was one of those "why do I even do this shit?" days fraught with pointless confrontations and insulting behavior on the part of people for whom I did a very big favor.

Yeah, I can relate. Even on a day on this forum.

(You can't imagine how amused I was to see this sentence.)

 

[TxRad]

Poor scouries. More and more people are seeing through his agenda all the time. Keep up the good work there scouries. You're our most helpful person in getting rid of you.

 

[lovecraft68]

What negotiations are those Jim? Are you talking about how much you pay the site for them to allow you to post here.

That I would believe.

He's yakking about his fake royalties. He thinks a view is a sale and he gets royalties from that. I keep wondering what part of free he gets? Even 100% of free is still nothing, if i did the math right.

But even if you did get paid for views, all of his views are him clicking on them, so he'd be paying himself anyway

 

[drteetho]

Man this scouries fella is priceless. Claiming that writing a long story is somehow underhanded made me laugh out loud!

Methinks he might want to adjust that tinfoil hat just a tad.

I have picked up a considerable number of votes -- and my score has dropped noticeably -- since I replied to his post.

Not to worry. A sweep should clear that out.

 

[oggbashan]

My two entries for this contest seem to be sure-fire contenders for the Authors' Hangout Last Place (tm) Contest.

Very few votes, little feedback or PCs. One gets close to the 25 minimum until a sweep drops votes. The other is struggling to stay above 10 votes.

I hope I'll have more time to write for the Winter Holidays contest and either produce a multi Lit page entry or one of my 15 x 50 words. They take a similar time to write and edit.

But the Halloween ones? Write them off, I suppose.

 

[ScouriesWorld]

Yes oggie I agree that that readers have spoken loud and clear on the quality of the stories entered - especially the Erotic Horror ones.

And I believe that its a clear message to the QUEEN. The Halloween story contest has run its course - time to move on to something new that might challenge our authors to come up with something original.​

You know what bashful? There’s nothing worse than someone who tried to get around the rules and then started whining when someone call him out on it. Here are the figures on your story as I found them 5 minutes ago:

Whoever You Want to Be
bashfullyshameless

Score: 4.86
Votes: 256
Views: 9197

http://www.quicksprout.com/images/whining.jpg

Now while you’re whining about the big drop in score your poor story has had to endure let me just put it into perspective for thread readers.

Not one INCEST Category story submitted to the site in the last thirty days has scored as high as yours sits at. Nor has a single LOVING WIVES one! EROTIC COUPLINGS? Nope! ANAL? No sir! Or EXHIBITIONIST? Another shake of the head. Nor has a NON CONSENT one.

In other words bashful you’re whining about having a score that is higher than every single story that was submitted to the site in the most popular LITEROTICA categories over the last 30 days. Huh? Poor boy… I'd love to know exactly how many readers read your story from beginning to end...

Quite simply pal you did what you’ve done before – entered a story into one of the historically highest scoring (but least viewed) categories. You used unoriginal characters, locations and plot lines to recapture readers who’d liked the previous chapters and then you wrote this 9 page never ending saga to scare away every reader except for the most fanatic fan.

And now you’re complaining? shameless was a good choice of names pal…

[TxRad]

Poor scouries. In his opinion, if it ain't Incest, it ain't shit.

Funny thing about Incest, it has high views and high votes but low scores. Those are the facts.

The categories that scouries hates so much have moderate to low votes and views but high scores.

Oh yeah, and for any interested writers, longer stories allow for more character and plot development. Both of which go a long ways in drawing in readers.

Just some real facts instead of scouries bullshit and outright lies

 

[TimothyM]

Yeah I like long stories too

I have several 4.8's thank you very much. Including a 4.81 on my 29k summer contest entry(dispelling scouries BS about Bashfuls long story as it also has 2000+ votes) And the low scores are due mostly to trolls. Just like loving wives.

Fact is non human and romance have on average the highest scores because A) they are generally chapter series and B their audiences are as soft as scouries brains.

Ohhh monsters! 5 stars!

 

[TimothyM]

I have several 4.8's thank you very much.

Yeah but just because you and a few others are very good at writing incest and thus get the high scores you deserve, TxRad might still be partly right. I have no idea if it is so, but maybe incest is more likely to attract a large amount of writers whose stories are not very good, so that a higher proportion of incest stories have low scores compared to other categories. Maybe Sun could provide us with some statistics to prove or disprove this ?
