Free half hour browsing in a book store or day dreaming in a café?


Tough choice, but I'll take the bookstore browsing, thank you.

Once upon a time, back in the age when books were only available printed on paper, libraries had long waiting lists for popular titles, and payday came but once a month for me, I read a Stephen King book almost all the way through by browsing at a bookstore on my lunch hour.

Now for an incredibly difficult choice, one only the bravest of souls will dare to answer...

NSync or Backstreet Boys?

* Can ANYONE vote on stories or just members only? Seems it's for members since there have been times when I've tried to vote on a story but forgot I wasn't logged on yet, and the site wouldn't let me. So, if that's the case, promoting our work to the Twitter world is good, but has it's limits, no?


Unless a member has configured it otherwise in the privacy settings, guests can give a score of 4 or 5 on non-competition stories. However, only logged-in members may vote on contest entries (until the contest closes). Also, someone must be logged in to give a score of 3 or lower on any story. This is to prevent malicious "voting down" of stories anonymously. Thankfully it's not a problem we've encountered much here.

* Can someone vote or view multiple times? Sorry to be so cynical, but what's to stop someone from clicking on their own (or a friend's) story multiple times and/or voting on it in order to increase the views/ranks? I guess with the sophistication of the site that i've seen so far you might have ways to discourage that, but it's still a point of confusion.


I don't know all the technical stuff involved, but only one vote from each IP address or device is allowed, so the answer about multiple votes is no, that isn't possible. As far as views, I believe only one view is counted per session, so someone can't visit once and keep reloading a story to boost the view count.

Yeah, the payment info is sort of hidden. I found it by clicking on the Submit buttons even though I wasn't going to submit anything just yet.

For pieces selected for publication, payment is $20 per poem, $30 per prose piece and $25 per piece of art. In addition, one submission in each category may be selected as a "best of" piece and receive a $100 bonus.
