You know what? Scratch that earlier post because I'm ashamed of it.

I don't want to win the banabloom contest if it's a popularity contest. Obviously I want my story to win, but only if you think it's better than the others.

The way this is going now, with all the pimping, if I were to win I wouldn't know whether it's on merit. And to be honest in those circumstances I would rather not win at all. Go vote for the story you think is the best.

For what it's worth, I voted for the story I thought was the best written. And it wasn't my own.

Good luck to you all.

I believe you were about on the second chap. of Strangers
when we friended each other and I know I'm terribly behind
on a lot of things due to R/L and such, especially f/b
I loved Strangers by the way and I love your style.
So far you are the only one that has been able to get me to
read a non V/O and that was 'No Aphrodite'I voted for it
because it was great (and to be fair I even skimmed the others.. shhh!) But I really thought the rps & fps
together was very well done and I hope you win.

I voted for the best which wasn't my own, too :)
All the pimpage is kin of crazy but it kind of comes with the territory I guessss

If this is refering to me, I'm not pimping myself out every day like that because I want it to be - or think it is - a popularity contest. I'm doing it because 95% of my flist doesn't read my journal - ever. To be truthful, I'm not sure why 95% of my flist has me friended. I'm doing it more or less as a joke because they spam the shit out of my flist with mindless crap anyway.

Sorry that I made you feel like it was a popularity contest.

I'll admit it, I kinda was insulted by that. Which is not to say you don't have a point, I'm pimping because I think or possibly hope my brand of pimping is amusing.

Most people will vote for the story they want to win. I voted for the one I liked the most, as I'm sure most of the people involved will. Yeah, I want to win, I'm not ashamed of that, but I still probably won't as my fic is not the best thing up there by some way, and it'll be all the better a victory for the eventual winner when even shameless pimping doesn't help.

I know you won't mind me saying this because I know you're not an oversenstive fangirl who will proceed to defriend me, but I was ticked, so I thought I'd say.
