Interesting thread. Quite a superficial point but actually quite a deep one, when you examine it. There seems to be some psychological, almost philosophical issues raised here.

I like the suggestion that some readers may feel the pressure of conformity when voting, that's interesting. I also find Milk the Red's 'tactical voting' notion fascinating.

We wouldn't be human if we didn't all want high scores and straight 5s for a really good story, is a great compliment. However, I'm aware that not all my stories are truly excellent. Nobody's perfect and sometimes we write well, but just miss that zenith of the exceptional story.

Overall, I would say the voting system is about right. I would say the difference between fair and average is a little nuanced semantically, but for me, a 2 is a crushing blow. If I get 4s and 5s I'm happy.

I just want to nom her!

Depends who I'm with, where I am and how I feel.

I suppose my jamas mostly, but like to sleep in the nude if I'm with my gf and we can curl up.

Born and grew up in the beautiful south Devon countryside. All cream teas and big hedges.

Explicate - I just learned a new word!

Thank you peeps! I put everything into the book, it's just so exciting to see it out there!

Sprite,
you write so powerfully on this. I don't know anyone who has experienced this, but I can imagine and what you said really moved me. My Nan is a very old fashioned person and I don't think she meant it in a malicious way, it's just her. She's probably not thought it through. My Mum has had quite a heated argument over it with her!

I just wonder when this celebrity rape outing thing will all end.

Can't wait for Masterchef. I want Nathalie to win

What's with all these sex pests/child abusers? This second actor in Coronation Street has been arrested for sexual offences and there seems to be something in the news every day. I'm at home at the moment and there are two theories in our house. My Nan says it's women jumping on the band wagon for compensation. Whereas my Mum says the Jimmy Saville revelations has empowered women to speak up. I didn't really know who Jimmy Saville was until all this came out, but it sounds like some horrendous cover up?

We're almost running out of celebrities. Is it as bad as it appears?

I need my morning caffeine fix. Could I give it up for a month but only after 9 o'clock?

Jogging. I run 25 to 30 miles a week, whatever the weather. It keeps me sane. Also, I'm a bit of a chocoholic/late night snack monkey and it fights off the pounds.

Hockey. I love to watch ice hockey and would love to play that, except I would probably get squidged.

I've never voluntarily abandoned a story. I tend to know what I'm going to write and just see it through. A lot of my stories are based on real life, so it's really easy.

The Setting sun, yellow glow bathes,

Sailing ship floats, drifting through the waves

But like your love, the colour wanes,

The air grows colder, just the breeze remains

Now night's soft lips, I see approach,

Fading memories of laughter and lies encroach

It would be a bit distracting:-

My bra and panties. But get this buster - I want them back!!!

I thought it was a funny little poem and left it at that, Danny. I also thought that the responses weren't meant to be critical of you, but to stress to those reading this post a bit of helpful advice.

Ah I guess so.. well if my contribution has helped someone, all the better.

Thanks Coco. Kisses xxx

Did you see what I did there

I'm interpreting the question to mean, would I participate in it? Probably yes, particularly if there were other hot girls/ripped guys to perv over. However, in my area 'to take a class' means to be the instructor. I would probably do that too

I got ENFJ. Seems I'm quite rare lol

"Persuader". Outstanding leader of groups. Can be aggressive at helping others to be the best that they can be. 2.5% of total population.

I thought this was a fun little poem with a vein of truth running through it. I didn't expect the critical analysis lol

Anyway, while I do use spell checker, I'm well aware of its limitations and I don't rely upon it. Taken literally it might have read that I was advocating spell checker as a soul source of editing. I wasn't, it was just for the poem. However, as a way of cutting through the long grass, it is a nice blunt tool for catching the biggest weeds.

I understand that honour and honor are the Anglo/American versions, like colour and color. However Buz, I learned something there. I didn't know the English spelling was used in that register. Interesting :)

I still think the point stands. As a jealous self-editor, I do think there's a typo bogey man who goes round fucking with my work :p

I write my story, run spell-checker at the end, I know any little errors, it's sure to mend.

Yet what's that, no cunt or cum? Yet it had no problem with tits or bum!

Re-read and check, spot that missing comma, I meant there not their, is it honor or honour?

Leave it a while, then one last look. I think it's right, then fucking fuck!

Am I crazy, I gave him a different name, my readers will think my writing's lame.

OK, it's perfect now. It's good to go. I'm confident, relaxed, the creative juices flow.

Always excited, it's finally on. You have a glance - no it's all gone wrong!

That glaring typo - it wasn't there before! I'm not so stupid, how did I ignore...

Such a silly error, it's 'then' not 'than.' I'll get you little typo bogey man!

Mine's got to be frazzled! I like it so you can snap it!

too late, Danielle, we've already judged you - let us bask for a moment in our superiority, until you come along with your awesomeness again and steal the show. *giggles and hugs*

Awww Rachel, I've gone all fuzzily now. Thank you your Spriteliness *blows kiss*

In light of other replies, I think I should qualify what I said in my original reply. I wasn't suggesting that I make value judgments from one friend to another. I love all my friends.

I think my situation is a bit unusual because so many of my friends since college have been lovers to one extent or another.

I suppose I was also drawing attention to a certain semantic anomaly in the question. That was probably my inner geek. I was in a weird mood last night.

I would. I just want to know what it feels like to have a hard on. Then I'd switch back! Is that weird? I'm in a weird mood tonight. First time properly lushing for two months and it's sort of cathartic.

By definition, you're best friend is one person.

I have one best friend and lots of very close friends, but one in particular will always be the one I can talk to about anything.

I'm not counting my gf in this, as she's more of a soul mate, which is something else.

When I was at sixth form college, my friends and I used to dare each other to masturbate in dodgy places. Lectures, the library, on the bus... Dodgiest place was probably on a packed train. Well not my fingers... but that's another story.

An orange Ford Focus ST, that my Dad bought me for Christmas. it's my pride and joy.

Apparently, on the island of St. Helena, everyone marries their cousin.

I don't think you can generalize about attitudes like that. I think lesbians prefer to go with women for physical, social and spiritual reasons, not because they actively dislike men.

As a bisexual girl, I have nothing against men. I just think women are a million times better company and they're just sexier, that's all. I would still go with a guy if he was ripped like fuck and cute/handsome. That's if my present circumstances were different obviously.
