Yeah, the votes and views on both new stories pretty much came to a dead halt about 10 last night. Well, somebody took the time out of their evening to 1-bomb Queen 4 times, but otherwise… *rolleyes*
So, I put them in the queue at SOL a few minutes ago. If you’re from SOL and feel like tossing me a bone, follow the links a couple of posts back and drop a vote on the contest stories at Lit. Even though I’m not eligible to win this round because I won on Earth Day, it’s still nice to have a solid vote total in contests to survive the sweeps with the 25 votes to qualify.
Queen of the Isle really needs the help. It’s sitting with 15, and those last 4 will get swept away for sure. They’re way too obvious as pattern voting, and the system will surely chew them up. That leaves me 14 votes to make up to get to qualifying range.
And I like that story so much *sigh* Let’s see if it was just bad placement in the new list, or the crappy limits at Lit for synopsis that hurt it. If it tanks at SOL, then I know it’s just not nearly as sweet and fun as I think it is, I guess.
