Voting for a contest

[VivianFoxx]

Hi. I'm new here, have published my first story on Literotica, and entered it into the Halloween contest. My question is how do people vote for contest?

They don't vote for the contest. People simply vote for the stories entered into the contests. The winners are those that have the highest scores after reaching a certain threshold number of votes (I think it's 25).

Hi Vivian, welcome and congratulations on your first story.

Simon is correct - 25 is the number of votes you need to be in contention.

People vote on your story as they normally would, so the score you see against your story is how it will be judged. It will probably change dramatically towards the end of the comp, as the site runs a broom through the votes to get rid of what they believe are bogus.

Exactly how that works is a bit of a mystery, and discussion about it is frowned on.

Vote??? I thought these things were determined by the ever ubiquitous 'THEY,' a secret committee that met in the back of a cheesy adult video store somewhere off I40 outside Amarillo...

Welcome to Lit, and the Authors' Hangout!

If you're story has already been published, I recommend putting a link to it in your signature. Many of us do. There's also the New Story Advertisments thread on the Story Feedback forum, and What have you posted recently? here in the AH.

If you want readers, make it as easy as possible for them to find your stories. Good luck with the contest!

Thanks! I'll check out the links. I'm going to ask a stupid question though: Where is my signature? Is that in Bio?

It's not a stupid question. Much about this site is not at all obvious, and you only learn by asking questions or spending lots and lots of time looking for things.

Click on your member profile and click on "about" and you should see a section where you can add a signature, including a link to your submission page.

And, as a professor of mine used to say, the only stupid question is the one you don't ask.

You'll be glad you did. Engagement matters. If you're new you want to be noticed and you want people to interact with you. Exposure is important.
