Winter Holiday Support Thread

Thanks - it's a relief to know it's not just me! Though now I also know how very low my votes are by comparison <lol>... cest la vie! Just happy to participate :heart:


Wellllllll dearie.. I"m not sure if I'm bragging... complaining... or just making a comment... butttttttt.....

In the halloween contest... my story had over 150 votes in the first 48 hours... along with a few death threats in my mail box...

I think each of my last four stories had racked up over a hundred votes in the first two days... so for me 60 votes is very low.

I'm not complaining about my score which is respectable but no where near high enough to be a competitor for the top three places. What is incredible is that last time I checked, most of the stories had magic "H"'s ... It's quite unusual to have so many stories with such high scores!

Part of that is in the quality of the stories though.... I've read almost all of them... and have yet to run across one that made me say.. "yech.. what a horrible job" and far too many that seemed good enough to win!

It is a fun ride though.. and there isn't a story I'd be ashamed to lose to!

I have 29 votes... and, surprisingly, 14 PCs. If I weren't always in here, I'm sure I wouldn't even end up with enough votes to qualify for the contest. :rolleyes:
Don't feel too bad Jett.
I am only 3 votes ahead of you.
Except for the trolls which get removed, most all have been good but I have no where near the numbers they are talking about.
And thanks to you, DP, Cookie and Muse for the RCV!
*GBH*

Hang in there, it took me a long time to build a fan base. Even now I don't always get the votes. Two days before the Halloween Contest ended I only had 23 votes. A friend of mine e-mailed a few friends so I could even qualify.
 
MistressJett said:
Oh, don't get me wrong... I'm really not bitching. My holiday story has more votes and PCs than either of my other stories... though I think Lesbian Sex is generally a more popular category than BDSM and Crossdressing. :rolleyes:

Thanks for the encouragement. :kiss:


Bitch away if you want...we've all been there. :) I will never figure the people who read the stories if I live to be a hundred.

I'm chomping at the bit to start my new story but it will have to wait until Monday. No time during the holidays. :rose:
 
Cookie, have an, uh, interesting time while you're away from us. :rolleyes:

I was feeling all hurt and sulky earlier today. Abs submitted her story a couple days ago at 11:00pm. By two the next morning it was posted.

So I submitted mine at about eleven last night. It's still not posted. Naturally I began wondering, how come her and not me? I mean, what does Abs have going for her that I don't, besides looks, smarts, talent, an intimidating personality, legions of loyal followers (such as me) who hand around her cafe, and a cigar?

Then I checked the NEW list. Nearly 90 stories were posted yesterday. If stories keep coming into Lit at that rate, I may not get mine up for days. Since that's not an uncommon problem at my age, I feel all better now, I think. :)

Interesting? With 16 other people it will be a madhouse.

I know your story is an epic. Think it will be up when I get back Monday? :p

Lauren works like Viagra when it comes to getting my staff, I eman, stuff up. If I were trying to win, as opposed to just concocting a fun, stroke story, I suppose it would have been best to wait until after T-day to submit.

Anyway, enjoy the madhouse. There was a time when my mother's brother and sister and their families all met at our place. That worked out to about nine sleep-overs with another three to six local day-trippers in a three bedroom, ONE bath house. It was, indeed, a madhouse, but now I miss it.

Sophia Jane, you tasty Thanksgiving thang (my SJ flirt-of-the-day).

I imagine you're right. But if stories keep being submitted in those numbers, Laurel going to be "catching 'em faster than she can string 'em." as the fisher people say. Outside of being curious how folks will react to the story, I'm in no hurry.

RF... welll.. I'm gonna 5 bomb ya.. but ummm... burn out does cum to mind!!!

Speaking of lots... for a contest that started out slow.. we sure got a bunch now!
 
I finished it!!! :nana:

It was a long hard ride ( :devil: ), but I finally got it done.

Now all I have to do is give it a quick look-see and then it'll be time to rock and roll!

:D :D :D

WAY TO GO, BIG A!

ps: DP, burn-out is one of the things I'm curious about. However, thanks to some superb critiques, the final version may be a bit less boring than the one you had to endure. rf
 
I'm so drained...

I did it! :heart: :heart: :heart:

I sent it in and it turned out to be 4 pages long! Just under 12,000 words of my heroine's exciting and erotic Christmas adventure! God, my head hurts... :p

It's almost 3:30 am now and my BF's giving me evil looks, so it's time for bed. God, I'm drained from this whole affair, and the trolls haven't even struck yet. It took over a week of blood, sweat and tears (among other fluids) to write this bad boy, but it was worth it. :devil:
 
Ok. So I've gotten lots and lots more votes than I've ever gotten on the first day of a story. What's up with that?

That's just how it works with contest entries.

Trolls are out tonight. Be warned.
Late at night while you're sleeping,

The Lit trolls come a'creeping around, ound, ound, ound.

SJ,

There was some of that during the Halloween contest. Of course, your story is on both the NEW and CONTEST lists, but that's nothing new.

I really hope I can get my story posted before the end of the month. I am having a hard time enticing the muse to stick around and, when she does, my wife interrupts me and chases her away. I can't really complain because, obviously, my wife is vastly more important to me than writing dirty stories. :devil:

Woo hooo! :nana: :nana: :nana:

Well I'm coming up to half way through mine, hoping for it to be finished and submitted by the weekend :)
