Part six just went live, and part seven is submitted.  Danica Prelude should go live within a day or so, it has already been viewed once by the editors.  Go vote!  A public comment would be nice too 😉

Twice now, trolls have one bombed Sci-Fi/Fantasy.  The first time, it was every story in the catagory until nothing had a score above 4.93.  The troll sweep eliminated that bombing run, but a couple of days later, the trolls returned.  This time, they only attacked the stories with low vote totals (mine included) and killed them off the list.  It’s obvious somebody writing in some other catagory is upset that Sci-Fi/Fantasy has a readership that rarely low votes, and thus the stories in that catagory tend to rise on the overall rankings.  I think I’m either going to “4” vote all my stories shortly after they are submitted or persuade one of my regular readers to do it for me.  This will keep the story from artificially sitting on the top of the catagory with a 5 when it hits ten votes, thus exposing it overmuch to the trolls and supplanting stories with more votes that really belong there.

I’m about halfway through “Arts Ardane”, and it should go live here soon.  I’d say Tuesday at the latest.  I’ll submit it to Lit as soon as it is complete as well, so don’t forget to go there and vote on it if you decide to read it here.
