I am behind again, V should have been yesterday. So tomorrow, when I have more time, I’ll catch up properly.
Voting
In just a week we have to vote in the local council elections. But since this isn’t a politics blog and making it into one would be a mistake I am going to talk about a different vote. Submissions for the 4th round of the Smut marathon are due in by Saturday and voting starts again on Sunday.
I began my entry for this round about 10 days ago and edited it right down the following day. But I only just submitted tonight. After the voting round last time I feel a bit nervous about my chances. In the second round I received quite a bit of criticism about my entry, in terms of grammar and content. But I was surprised to find myself climb the rankings in the vote. Then in round 3 I received lots of positive reviews. People though, said they needed more votes than the 3 allowed to be able to vote for me. And so it was that I received no jury votes and probably just my own vote for myself from the public.
I think though the important thing is for more people to join in with the comments and vote. Because the more people that contribute, then the greater meaning the whole thing has.
This latest assignment was tricky, since I was in new territory. But actually I enjoyed it more than the others. So, I am hopeful I will receive some constructive feedback and at least a few votes. Whatever, the main thing is that when you get the chance, you should vote. This time too, I am going to make time to comment on everyone else entry too.
Good luck everyone.
You are right, the more people that vote, the better, but somehow I think this has to grow a bit bigger and this first year is to show everyone what it is about. Thank you for your continued support & participation 🙂

I agree and I think round by round it is growing. I am enjoying it, though it is pushing me outside of my comfort zone.
Yes the voting has intrigued me – in the last round i didn’t get any of the judge’s votes but was 3rd in the public vote – so contrasting. I found this last one the most difficult as its also new territory for me, but it was fun 😉 x
