An atrocious con indeed!
Once, I posted a truly AWESOME story in response to a qotw on a website called b3ta.com. But (and here's the con!) my wonderful witty amazing story DIDN'T make it onto the "best of" page that week!

No surprise there.
They don't put QOTW responses on the front page, ever.

One of mine once made the news letter.

I'm so proud.

Opinion rather than fact

apparently....
....your story wasn't as great as you thought it was.



but then, when you notice just how many pages of answers to the qotw there are every week......with a great many of them being extremely funny........the competition is fairly stiff.

i know my stories aren't that great, but i still made the best of page a few weeks ago. i really thought my story last week would have a good response but it didn't. oh, well...it was still a fantastic experience that i will never forget.

Beve:
if you were referring to me, then notice that i said 'best of' NOT 'front page".

Edited...
Ok, changed 'front page' to '"best of" page'. Thanks for the correction.
And actually...I have been on the "best of" page before.
