Dear downvoter,
I’d like to say that more smacks than I have left to give, I hate you.
But I’m not.
Cuz I’m a decent person.
And I’m sure if you met me in real life, you’d be like “Aw, what a cute little girl” (not that I’m little, just younger than half of you) and stop downvoting me.
And I’d be like, “Aw, thank you!”
Then I’d smack you.
Because you’re whatever you get when you cross a jerk and a butt and you’ve better stop downvoting me and my friends.
This account is an extra aid to upvote. With this fresh account, I have a fresh start, a fresh canvas of stories to like, people to follow, upvotes to give. As an alter account of someone on here (I bet you guys know who I am based on my pfp, way I talk, and other clues, but whatever lol, let’s *pretend* I’m anonymous), half of your guys know me and I’ve probably upvoted at least half of you too. But at some point, you run out of material to upvote. So here’s an alter account, whoop!
I know it’s not great to upvote. I know other accounts are annoying.
Well, it’s even worse to downvote, and the sheer amounts of alter accounts created only for that purpose have officially regrouped the Marshmellows—not the original ones, not even people under the same name, but I know there are dozens of us who have been upvoting like crazy recently.
Hence, we’re basically minimarshmellows.
So hello! Here I am! Tell me in the comments if you’ve/a friend has been downvoted and I’m on it. Of course, I’m human, and in school, so I don’t have endless time, but if you spam replies to MY reply asking you to (like, don’t spam comments, just replies), that would make my life easier, lol.
But also, it would be great if YOU upvoted, too. People have been downvoted like crazy lately--I’ve mentioned just a few of them in my bio—and if you can dedicate just 10 minutes of upvoting their replies on their stories, it could make all the difference.
Thanks for reading! Love you guys <3

Aer– oop... I was wondering. I'm thinking of coming back soon, because the downvoting has kind of settled down even though peeps be devastated... could I have some points help??

I am sorry to barge in, but Luke you don't need to get obsessed over points. Your writing tells us all. Don't give importance to points, use them where your points are earned by hard work. But they stand nothing in life nor does it shows your skills. Leaving reedsy over points sounds so immature.

I know peeps be talking about DON'T WORRY ABOUT POINTS and I'm only worried that my lower points will make it harder for my stories to be noticed... which I care about :(

Eep I know I’m late but exactly! Top ten on the leaderboard means two things: a), You get a bunch of followers because new people often follow the first ten people they see, and b) With the link to your page easily accessible, people check in a ton. I (Aerin) just posted my first story while being completely off the leaderboard for the first time in half a year, so we’ll see how far it fares...

That’s great!!

I will upvote your points. hope you do the same.

Heyyy Luke! (Sorry I didn’t respond until now, I’m not logging into this account much and only found that comment by seeing it on your page :)) aw, of course!! So happy you might-maybe-sorta-kinda be coming back at some point. Although, just so you know, while the massive downvoting has gone down, like a gazillion people keep being downvoted to 666 because it’s the devil’s number or something. Idk. So yea, just keep an eye out for that because it’s seriously getting old 😒 But yea, of course I’ll upvote you!!!

No, you are very famous here. Even if you are not on the leaderboard, the tremendous amount of likes and comments you get is appeciatable. Your stories will get the exposure you deserve. I will help you if you want, don't worry.

Hey, Up! (Can I call you that lol) I know you said "no confirmations" but I just want to ask you something: Are we friends? Or at least have talked before?
Reply
Ha, of course! Yes, we are! On some level. We’ve definitely talked before but not very frequently.
Reply
Ok, got it :)

It's wonderful that you're doing this. I would appreciate it if you upvoted me to my original number of 5550 points. I lost about a thousand points a few days back and got about half of it back.
Reply
My pleasure! Of course, will do later!

heyyy...I have some guesses, just like everyone else, but I just wanted to say something... This line: "Because you’re whatever you get when you cross a jerk and a butt and you’ve better stop down-voting me and my friends." it kinda might hurt. You have to remember that who ever is down-voting is human too. We all make mistakes, and sometimes, others take their anger out on innocent people. I feel like all this down-voting is kinda like a test, I mean, it just tests your real motive. Like, are you writing to write and get feedback, or are...

I meaaaaaan....I’m sorry, but I don’t feel like I should be very nice to a group of people who’s dedicated hundreds of hours spreading negativity across half of Reedsy. They ARE whatever you get when you cross a jerk and a butt (in my opinion), and also they should be glad I don’t curse. Lol. Yea, maybe they have other things going on in their life, but that doesn’t give them any right to wreck havoc on an enthusiastic writing community. And yes, it does, but the problem with Reedsy is that the way the leaderboard is formed, the more points...
Reply
noice. yeah, I completely understand that everyone has their own opinions and ideas, and you have the right to that. I'm trying to not get so involved in this, I just wanted to speak my mind occasionally. How have you been?
Reply
Aw thanks <3 Good! Survived a 12-hour car trip with my whole family, so still being alive is a positive. Now I’m at da beach with my grandparents! Wbu?
Reply
ooh cool. I was just at the beach on Friday :))) I'm pretty excited because my tortoise woke up today so now I have a buddy :))))
Reply
I'm trying not to care over points anymore, but I've been downvoted almost 3k points. It's ok if you can't upvote me, though. Thanks in advance :)
Reply
Of course I willl!

Ah, you're so nice! 💗
