I had a story go 'up' today, approx eight hours ago and I am amazed at the amount of votes its accumulated already, 79 so far.
Is anyone else experiencing a surge like this as well? I'm not complaining! I am just bemused by this unusual phenonemon.
 
Maybe the category is a voting one. Some are. Incest gets plenty votes, for instance; maybe Mature is the same way. I can tell you Non-Erotic Poetry isn't a big vote getter. I never made the minimum ten votes there, and I hear that's not unusual. The readership is different in the different categories.

*snort* I don't have a single poem with > 25 votes. :rolleyes:

For that matter, only a couple of my stories have > 100 votes.

I don't think that's it. I'm quite prolific in the incest cat and have submitted to mature in the past as well. The sheer number of votes in such a short period has me puzzled. Maybe I'm popular all of a sudden! I dunno. Make hay while the sun shines I suppose. :confused:
 
Happened to me twice now. Once in Romance and once in BDSM.

Still don't quite know what I did right.

Congrats, geronimo.

Why do I have this sudden urge to jump out of an airplane?

I've gotten that many votes for contest stories before in incest and anal. I think you're just popular. :kiss:

Imp, I just celebrated my 21st vote on a non-erotic poem. It was the first time I ever got over 17. LOL. :p

strangely enough, I used to do that for a living. well some of the time anyway. nothing to do with the Lit name BTW, there's another reason for that.

Dammit, i should've asked for some dialogue tips. I could have made her Ukranian or Czech instead. Lovely girls in Ukraine.
 
I haven't read your story, but I'm guessing you struck an erotic nerve with your readers. Congratulations!

it always helps if your story pops up on the first screenful of 'new' stories . . .
aha! you may be on to something there. it's right up at the top, probably fifth or sixth (ish)

Yep, that will get you a lot of views! Compelling the readers to vote, though, I don't know what your secret is.

He's a prolific pornographer. He cranks out about ten stories to my one. ;)

Wow, you aren't kidding! Just checked his story page. With all those H's, he's prolific and provocative.
 
Congrats, I dont' have a single story with that many.

Right, pornographer does sort of denote Larry Flyntishness.
Eroticamonger? :p
