I might buy cheap to solve a quick problem, but if I'm going to rely on it it has to be quality.
Do things need to match or are your cupboards and drawers full of odd dishes, cutlery, etc.

I'm assuming you are talking about your competition entry?
When competitions finish, I go through every story and remove all "down votes" on each story from other entrants (anything other than a "5").
One contestant (who shall remain nameless) voted every one of the other stories in the latest competition, a "3" or a "4", hoping to pull down their average scores. Little did they realise I can see all the votes and will forever have a black mark against their name!
In your case, 3 of your fellow writers with comp entries voted your story down. Those were removed.
It's a pity I have to waste half a day doing so when competitions close off, but it's a necessary task when there's foul play at hand.
Call it old fashioned professionalism that I won't allow it to happen here.
