>Dont you hate it when people blame everyone else for there lame storys losing contests?

Spiletta never blamed anyone else for her loss in the contest. Rather, she came here asking for a fresh set of eyes to tell her why her fic lost, and how she could improve it. And unlike you, she refrained from calling the other person's work "godawful" and insulting them. Here is her original post:

<i>Okay, I just lost yet another contest. Please help me figure out what the winner has that I don't. Someone suggested that the winning story was longer, but when I did a word count I found that mine was actually the longer story - the other author just used a larger font. Anyhow, this board doesn't lack honesty, so let's hear it!

Here's my entry:

Here's the winner:

>I beat this girl in every competition and still she cant learn that I am better.

Darling, Spiletta is something like 30 years younger than you, and she already has a far better grasp of spelling, grammar, and punctuation than you will ever have. I wouldn't brag if I were you.

>She can only win when her friends run the contests and then only she beats fake entrys!

KJ, those are pretty bold words from someone who runs most of the contests she places in (including this latest one in dispute) and employs minion voting as a matter of course. Furthermore, what's a "fake entry" and how do you know about it?

For the rest of you reading this, here are the webpages of the two authors in question, so you can judge for yourselves:
