I've Already Messed Up

It seems like only yesterday that I joined, Lush Stories. In fact, it was just before midnight yesterday (CTT = Central Texas Time) July 3, a date that shall, no doubt, live in LS infamy. For even by lil' ol' moi's suspect standards, my first goof occurred with breath-taking quickness..

My first LS submission, a honest-to-goodness true life experience entitled, A BRIEF AFFAIR, recounts the first time the future Ms Foreskin and I, you know, consorted. In what passes for my brain, I decided that meant it should be submitted in the "First Time" category. Unencumbered by anything resembling prior planning, I failed to note that the contest rules are inclusive when it comes to defining "First Time." In contradistinction, the regular category definition is a narrowly focused set of regulations that calls for all stories coming under its jurisdiction pertain to virginity and the loss thereof.

As revealed in the story, while my two main characters were pure of heart, both had previously partaken in premarital, you know, consorting.

So the question I now bring before this assembly is should I change the category and, if so, how and to what?

ETA: At no additional cost, my pitiful prose seems to be missing a "comp entry" tag. Whatever the reason, I know it's my fault. As a long-time married man, I've come to accept the fact it's always my fault. Any suggestions on how to correct that situation?

"Cute" might be stretching the meaning of that particular four-letter word beyond recognition. Maybe "unique" would be a better choice.

Whatever term is picked, there's no question mine lacks the eye-catching qualities of yours.

I must now journey into the Land of Nod. Sleep and a Terry Prachett book await. Later

Many thanks. As we say down here in the Texas hill country, you folks up in Paris are good people.

Don't feel so bad, Rumple. I've screwed up submitting stories lots of times.
Ordinarily Rumple, you'd be able to click on the "My Stories" link on the first page, then go and edit you stories, however because of the competition, we didn't want people changing their competition entries once they were submitted, nor did we want them submitting an existing story to the competition, so you're effectively locked out.

Our programmer will sort it out on Monday if not sooner.
Rocco & Nicola, as has been so wisely said, "To err is Rumple."

I recall clicking on the contest box but have a hunch my fall from grace came about when I was futzing (sorry about the hi-tech jargon) with Word and Notepad trying to get a properly formatted story submitted.

In the course of my stumbling around the joint, I figured out how to change categories and switched the story from "First Time" to "Love Stories." It's nice to have the ability to edit posted stories.

Question: is there any way to pull up stories by score, vote total or views?

There are 3 tabs on the main page and all category pages for Most Viewed, Most Popular, Most Recent.

Otherwise you can click on the Authors tab on the LHS, and then click the column headings to sort via average score, number of views, category etc.

Over on the right side. Gotcha and much appreciated. Being a tad hard-of-seeing, I've been known to miss some of those little buggers.

My story is now on the contest list. I now feel like a real Lush.

I loved that story as a child.

Love it!

Ol' Rumple S might make a great AV except odds are everyone would just think it was just another elf.
