Analogically Yours is #9 #8 in the P & E poll. Chris put a another story of mine in under SF Novels. Strangely enough, I outlined the novel based on that story and wrote about 20,000 words before giving up. It was too much like work.
There has been discussion that non-writers can put in any old thing into P&E and then vote for it over and over again. Email is not a good method to validate a vote. Most websites come with email forwarding and anyone can vote 100 times using different names from a forwarded domain.
There should be another way to do it. I could make a phone with a touch tone menu to do the voting, I have an old telephony card that has all the stuff that I would need. Another way might be to use a credit card, but not charge it – just validate the number. Maybe a cell phone number would work. You have to respond to a cell phone text message. I like this – it is what AOL uses to validate some of their services.
By the way, I like the pseudonym that I used for Analogically Yours – Count Cifre – Full of hidden meaning.

Update: I asked Andrew Burt to remove the bogus story. I still think that the poll is absurd, but I wound up at #8 for a fictional piece of fiction. I began to feel bad for the lady porn writers who had worked hard, getting all of their friends to vote for them. I did not keep close track on how many times I voted, but it was less than 30. I don’t think anyone else voted for the story.
I am still suspicious that Sword Review stuffed the ballot box. I noticed that some of their entries have drifted downwards in the poll as the lady porn sites geared up. It has been pointed out to me that zines like the Sword Review have a motivated support group, so their positions might be legit, but I prefer having a bad attitude.
I’ve started outlining Analogically Yours. It is too good a name to throw away. Maybe next year it will appear in the P&E poll legitimately.
