Hello Liz.
With this is an interesting one that I took a few minutes to read and reread. I just have one small disagreement with you.
To me, FS is more like Halloween. I'm running about 50-50 on the trick-or-treat thing. HAHAHAHA

You are so sarcastically amusing. You really no how to put yourself down but you probably have more fans than anyone. We can't stand to miss a post and never even bother to see if it is paying.

I'm giggling. But am I supposed to be chuckling at this? I think I'm understanding your snide sense of humor and I pretty dense when it comes to sarcasm. Thank you for continuing to enlighten us!

Oh my. These guys didn't mince their words! Why would they even bother commenting. I think there are many on here that find the system bias, but not your fault.ð??? I still like you.

I feel like I've received nothing but socks lately. Where do I send a formal complaint? Just kidding! As always a hilarious write on some of the subjects of Storyland!

Comment from judiverse
Yes! Merry Christmas. There have been times when I promoted to the max and still didn't hit the magic number of 26. Between us, my post about the phantom reviewer made all time best and came in at number 9. It received only 27 reviews, and just one or two 6-star reviews, so I wondered of it was a reward for snitching. I wouldn't pay out that much just to reach all time best. This does feel like Christmas. We pay a lot for all the pretty presents we buy, but don't necessarily get much in return. Artful presentation. judi

Did TOM ever get back to you on the phantom?
I had a blast with this--happily for me, these messages are fabrications! Cheers. LIZ
-
Yes, and apparently the Phantom is no longer with us. judi
-
Did TOM explain how "IT" got onto the site? My guess is that some member decided to sign up with an alter-ego just to mess with the system in order to mock the length requirement.
-
No, he didn't. He just said that the site had taken care of the situation. I have no idea why he was on the site. judi
-
It was good while it lasted--you are fortunate that, unlike the nasty OZY, the phantom sprinkled bonus stars.
-
If he was a non-paying member, the reviews aren't factored into the average.
-
Yes, I did get the six stars out of it. I can't figure what he was doing on the site anyway. judi
Comment from Chris Fruge
I thought this presented an interesting perspective to the 'economics' of posting work and reviews to the site. This particular line was entertaining, yet saddening. ' I wanted to show my appreciation for your six-star review without wasting a six on anything of yours.' I know you've got this in the story category but I think I'm still on the fence as to whether you've got enough closure for it to be a full story. It's definitely close with that 'worst of the all time best' closing. Best wishes

What an interesting piece of all the six stars awards. You are very lucky to get so many admires. It's nice to be popular and also you deserve it with your good writing.
Have more six stars.
Wel done

Wow. You did a good job to conceal it.
Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
Haha, Liz, it's an expensive numbers game whether you use MCP's or real $$$$$. Your examples of where the rating of 6 came from are sarcastic, right? Hopefully, no one really wrote those remarks. I enjoyed reading your post. You always have such interesting topics.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

Comment from Eternal Muse
This is hilarious. Thank you for a good laugh. How often we see these announcements indeed! My favorite was:
* Six-star rating:
Since you gave me three sixes this week, I felt obliged to reciprocate, so, after having spent the past two hours perusing your portfolio for a worthy piece, I gave up and randomly selected this one.
The humor had me laughing heartily at that one. How often we think that way but no one dares to spell it (lol).
Great work. I thoroughly enjoyed this one.
