>>Hi folks,
>>
>>I recently lost a contest with what I thought was an
>>excellent piece for the genre. Honestly disappointed,
>>I posted here hoping that someone would take pity on
>>me and send me a pointer or two. I knew the prose was
>>good, but obviously I wasn't appealing to my target
>>market.
>>
>>Anyway, it was then alleged that the person who beat
>>me secretly owned the contest. Since you never know
>>what's true on the Internet, I chose to ignore that
>>and moved on to write my next fic.
>>
>>However, I was then accused of accusing the contest
>>winner of cheating. I never said any such thing. I
>>am now being flamed on various boards and have been
>>told I'm not welcome in the fandom. I think I'll lay
>>low for a while.
>>
>>For the record, I've never managed to beat that
>>particular individual in ANY contest, so logic follows
>>that the contest ownership was not the issue, and I'd
>>still like to know why her style is more pleasing to
>>the audience than my own.
>>
>>In any case, I apologize for the fact that all of this
>>disrupted the operation of a board that is normally
>>quite enjoyable.
>>
>>Spiletta42 (As can be verified via email if you so
>>desire.)
