[ WP ] Detail the hardships of trying to get yourself on the front page .

Austin had finished writing another writing prompt entry, and now the F5 key can do it's work. 
 
 He had spent the last 30 minutes at work typing the entry, as he would three or four times every day. How many upvotes would he get this time? One? Two? Maybe if the thread got popular he could attain a third upvote, but rarely more than that. His posts were normally lost in the sea of comments, or sat lonely as the only entry on the dead prompt, save for the WritingPromptsRobot's post warning of deletion if you dared to post a non-story reply. 
 
 His writing had improved, of course, and that was his goal in the first place. But what was he missing? He pondered on his writing entries for long periods of time before pressing the `` save'' button, often longer than the writing itself took. This time in particular he read his post over and over again. 
 
 `` This is the one. I am finally going to get that karma. I deserve it this time. I know it.'' 
 
 F5. 
 
 F5. 
 
 F5 F5 F5. 
 
 Austin closed the tab in frustration. It had been over an hour since he had posted his story, and only a single upvote had come in. He had worked so very hard on it this time, checking his work for errors and redundancies. Checking hard for mistakes and repeated thoughts. Checking, checking, checking. It seemed that this post, like the others, would soon be forgotten. 
 
 Austin returned to the WritingPrompts homepage, and clicked on new. Searching for the prompt that would finally garner the recognition he felt he deserved. It had to come soon; he would n't give up just yet.
