This is one for Ted, really. I'm over the moon at having a story in the Top Ten. Having read the rules, I see that I must now add a reading credit at least every seven days, if I am to stay in the Top Ten. I'm sure my book won't stay there, don't presume I'm being presumptuous - but if I have to go away for two weeks on holiday, my possible moment of glory is pulled from under my feet whatever happens. Is there no way I can load up a few credits in lieu of my attendance? It would be a shame to think that poor Joey was out of mind, just because I may be out of sight.

Why not let Joey run ouut of credit now, so you hang on to the same score, then credit him up when you get back? You could wait until the middle of next month or something to put a new credit on then you'll be in roughly the same position as now (depending on how the overall top ten scoring is going)... If you can understand my ramble, I hope it helps. Where are you off to on hols, Law?

Lawrence, this is one of those life or death things. You'll have to cancel the holiday. I'm sure the travel insurance will pay up once you explain the situation.

Hi Lawrence Alas the programming for the Top Ten works with a fresh credit every seven days. This programming was bought in during the early days to try to ensure that each member continued to get a representative amount of reviews while in the Top Ten. When it was a voluntary rule, it wasn't working. Unfortunately we can't break the rule, because of the purposes for which it was intended as well as practically for programming reasons. You could however do what HJW suggests, or find an Internet cafe while on holiday? (if you really wanted to spoil your sunshine time!) Sorry about this. Ted

Hi Law Congrats to Joey  This happened to me in Feb - I had to sail to an internet cafe and bung my credit on - twice, as i was away for 3 weeks! I reckon thats your best bet! JR
Stop the sketch - it's too silly

Hey Lawrence, don't you have a reliable friend you could trust with your password who would put on the credit for you?

If I send you my password, will you promise to hang on to any fantasy I get assigned for a week and let it time out, and keep sending the bribe payments to Ted every three days, and water the cats, etc...?

No. Send me your password, and I will give immediate fours and fives to all works of fantasy you are assigned, and straight fives to any fantasy involving dragons. I will also undertake to be amusingly provocative under your pseudonym on the message board on a daily basis. The cats, alas, I will rehome. I'll retain Ted's money as a modest remuneration for my efforts on your behalf. Deal?

I think you should let Mrs Mace look after the cats. By the time you get back they will be conjugating verbs, writing in the kitty litter with the poop scoop.

They'll be writing a  on correct cat care and how to control their owner.
