Possibly, but a story with glaring grammatical errors and punctuation mistakes has no business being approved for publication, much less being rewarded with a RR. Just my opinion, but it seems that quantity, rather than quality, is becoming more frequent here. How else can you explain a submission to publication time of under 10 minutes on a story with over 3,000 words?
I've been doing this for 4 years. i've been a senior mod for over 2. i know most of the authors here, having read, modded, or senior modded over their stories. i know which stories i need to read thru carefully, and which i can move through at a fairly quick rate. at one point in time in my career here i was modding 15-20 stories a day - the mod crew was that small at the time. now, i do less. i would say that, on average, we get 50-60 new submissions a day here. it's as simple as this - when that happens, i can jump in and move those stories out very quickly - i am damn good at what i do, and, i may miss a typo here and there while doing it, but i assure you that 99% of the time the stories i mod are clean.
so, to answer your question, yes, i can publish a 3000 word story in 10 minutes. i don't actually read it, but i know what to look for as an editor - there are little tricks i'm learned on how to do that. and, since my name is attached to each and everyone of them, i make SURE nothing goes through that shouldn't.
hope that answers your question for you.
PS - i am probably one of the stingiest mods when it comes out to handing out RRs, too, btw - if you're hoping for one, i would suggest you request someone else to mod your story.

I remember it well. I was 18, hanging out with some friends, shooting a little b-ball, and thinking... you know? life isn't hard enough, i bet it would be harder if i was gay. i think i'm going to be gay. that was my moment, the moment i decided to be gay. since then, i'm also decided to a dinosaur, an astronaut, and a small planet orbiting Cygnus.

a team of distinguished mods grade and score that story.
*stares at you in terror* while, in theory, this is kind of a cool idea. in reality, though, the first time we score less than a 5 on someone's story, all hell starts breaking loose. very bad idea - and trust me, a large percentage of the stories i mod here, if i were to give an honest score, would garner 3s.

I have a suggestion for the Entertainment forums. I would like to suggest there be a "kiss, Fuck, Pass, lick, spank, be spanked, dominate, be dominated, handcuffed, eat, bite, suck, grope, date, marry,the person above or below" Forum.I'm only half joking. Perhaps it could be called "Come And Get Me" Forum.
We could have threads for "fuck the person above you", or, "lick the person above you" etc. Move all those threads to their own forum and members can lick, fuck & pass each other all day!
Both the word game pages are clogged with them. They are always at the top of both pages and those of us who want to play word games have to go digging for the decent threads. It wouldn't be so bad if there was only a couple of them but there are at least 26 of them and it wasn't long ago Nic deleted multiples.
In the first three pages of Word Games there are SIXTEEN threads where you can do any one or all of the above things. On the first three pages of "Get your post count up there are 11 of them.
I'm all for having a bit of fun on the forums but it has become ridiculous. All those threads are one word answers. It's not a word game. I've seen duplicate threads on other forums deleted or closed straight away. Why not these forums?
Why does it bother me? I'm not the only person whose tired of it. Because those threads are always at the top and I have to spend time digging around for something a bit more interesting. That and perhaps I'm in a cranky mood today, but I don't think I am.
Does this mean I'm a party-pooper?
Lick, then fuck.

It's called Queen of the Morons. sprite is the main character. She runs for president...and wins! Then she puts on this dominatrix get-up with a strap-on and walks into the House of Representatives with a flogger. I'm thinking it should go in the Love Stories category.
Don't think i don't see these, Mr FL...
btw, does this mean i have access to Airforce 1?

How about we don't steal the winners thunder by making this about ourselves? Congratulations to the winners, the runners up, and everyone who entered. a lot of really good entries this time around. everyone should be proud of what they wrote, regardless of where it placed.

THE BEST STORY I EVER READ ON THIS SITE!
(IMAGINE what SHE did!!! Here's a STORY with LOVE but NO SEX... And it's about DEATH... And why even the dream of LIFE is better...)
SHE will say, "I just threw that out..."
THE BEST STORY EVER ON THIS SITE. (It IS sexy if you GET IT...) IN the BEST way... SEX isn't what we ALWAYS do in everyday life... It IS always what WE THINK about... Even if you are a SNIPER in A WAR!!! (LOVE WINS!)
This writer PISSES talent.

A heart felt thank you for all the wonderful things you have said about this piece, Steph. It's much appreciated and, although it embarrasses and humbles me, it's also lovely to hear. I should mention something else very important. This was conceived shortly after we did the EP vote on Leningrad, which is how Stalingrad ended up being the setting - in a way, you inspired it. thank you for that.

If you're writing a story with the sole intent of getting an EP - you're doing it for the wrong reason. awards should be the last think on your mind, even in a competition. you should be writing the best damn story, the most entertaining, striving for perfection each and every time - that's all that matters. the rest will either come as a result, or not.
btw, Steph, if you want to talk process, i'm game...
Ice.
i like writing fairy tales. it started out as one. For the record, so did Paris in Flames. It started out as my version of The Little Mermaid. If you read it carefully, in fact, the elements are still there, just hidden like colored eggs on easter morn.
Ice was my version of The Snow Queen or Frozen. It was the tale, not of a sniper, nor of a target, but of the land itself, how it had suffered under the harshness of winter, of war, of death. And... well, it needed someone to witness it, to evoke it, to represent it. The sniper. He became Winter. His wife, the distant summer, both forgotten and unattainable,, and the woman he chose not to kill was spring, or rather, the promise of renewal, of life, of warmth. yeah, i know, too many drugs, but it really is the story of the land and the city itself - the people in it are not incidental, but yes, they are not the only characters i wrote about.
once i had the story in my head, i wrote it. two hours i think, and then as many for editing? sometimes things just roll out of you, this was one of them. i didn't even place in the comp - i didn't expect to, honestly - it's not a Lush story, though i cheated and used the 'love story' catagory to slip it past the horrible story mods.
