I've just upped my scores on everybody's stories. I'm generous like that and you're gonna need them.![]()
Votes for me are now running at 127. I think Queenie got in on the act and it looks like every royal person has voted for me now. As long as Nicola doesn't remove 5s from first time scorers I should be OK.
It just goes to show that connections are everything and people in general are so nice, and I know that everyone here that hasn't voted for me yet, wouldn't want to miss out on reading the best story in this competition before it closes. Go on - do some work at the office and help Melissa out.
The best thing about this competition, for me, is not the views. It's the generous comments that people have left on my stories. I feel privileged that you have taken the time to read it.
Did Nicola not mention to anyone else that the nicer you are to people, the more votes you get from the moderators at the end. Something to consider I reckon.

Well, look at that ?
I believe the Lady Misteria has something to say about me, don’t cha darlin’?![]()
Something about me being the opposite of left.![]()
There isn’t an, I told you so, emoji, otherwise I’d have used that one.
Regardless, 114 is a big number to mount. I really want to say something, but I shall refrain![]()
M.E.G.A. now has 78. That only 36 behind.![]()

I think there's probably a bit of confusion around Nicola's post-competition results process. Removing all of an entry's scores of one or two would basically invalidate the results because it would be saying that no story entered is 'poor' or 'fair' in any reader's estimation. When she says that she filters out 'troll' scores, she means instances such as competition entrants marking down other stories to try to sway the results in their favour or brand new Lush accounts which 1-bomb every comp entry.
I see no reason for any other 'low ball' scores to be removed.

And mine please liz, I do need those extra couple of votes. I would really appreciate it. I know that 150 votes already should be enough, but these guys could catch me up if I slacken off now.
