A separate top 5 list for poems sounds fine. Alternatively, we can keep the current top 10 list, but program it so that poems only take up X amount of the slots.


I thought about that too, but if we limited it to say 2 poems, then what happens when 5 milf stories are in the top 10, will the poets start complaining it's unfair?


I'm putting my in here. I WANT 2 or 3 slots just for bag stories!!!!

Next time I make a pretty bag mask for you I'm going to make sure I don't cut a mouth hole...
Wow. Never saw 13 people browsing a topic at the same time before. And yes, I counted. Twice. Got my facts straight. I probably said all I wanted to say.

I don't know about anyone else, but me if a guy opened his heart and soul and wrote a romantic poem for me, I would be pinning him down and riding him high and dry.




Here Fugs...Accept my poetic offering...I tried to make it as romantic as possible...

To My Lovely Fugly

Oh Fugly my dear with your bag and gavel,
To meet with you I would gladly travel,
Awaiting the day when I get you in bed,
And finally remove the bag from your head.

Though I've been spying you in the Lush forum,
And been trying to exercise some decorum,
I can no longer keep my feelings discreet,
You are the Fugly I’ve been dying to meet.

Fugly my dear accept this little ditty,
And invite me over to meet your kitty,
And when you finally remove the bag,
I’ll do my best to try not to gag.

You know you want it, you know you need it bad...get it now on Amazon.com...

I'll leave that one up to everyone's imagination.

We are primarily an erotic story site. Love poems make up around 900 submissions, out of our total 11500 or so to date. That's less than 10%. Giving them their own Top 10 seems like overkill to me.


As do the conditions now, which caused this whole conversation to happen.
Amen!

YEE HAW get ready for the ride of your life (oh that could be used for felix's uncomfortable place as well lol)

see, doesn't that deserve to be in the top list?

Actually I would like to know if there is a way we could see how often the top list gets used. Do readers use this or most popular etc or categories more?

I'm so fucking jealous right now martini... That poem kicked my poem to fugs in the balls...

5!

And fugly I made the list once and it made the views to my story triple after it had slowed to a trickle. So yeah people do click on that list. In my experience anyway.

I am trying to give more weighting to the stories, which having a Top 10 for stories only will achieve.

So our poets do not cry foul, they will have their own list too.

I can't see a fairer way to do it.

We are all working together to achieve the best solution, there's no need for anyone to get worked up and defensive about it, we're all on the same team, or at least I'd like to think so.

I think a separate, equal list is better than doctoring the main list to automatically quota and limit a certain number of poems.

I agree or you could just stop the voting altogether and then all the whining would cease. Just have a Most viewed as of today. Then most viewed as of the next date. I would assume that "authors" friends would find something more constructive to do with their time then to keep clicking on such and such's new story/poem all day everyday.
Oh my goodness!

All should be good old competition and it should bring best in writers. But some just cannot handle it?


I'm starting to think you are just not understanding she..

Poems=apples

Stories=oranges

Top ten oranges of the month list

Top ten apples of the month list

The story writers want this why don't the poetry writers want it? Why!?




hahahahah magical, so what you are saying is that when I or somebody else disagree with group of people, we are etiquetted as someone who is missunderstanding the point, not understanding or even worse as dumb? LOL seriouusly
ok, sorry about the drunk rant, but really, those opinions hold true even in a lucid state - i like the idea of having a top 5 for poems seprate from the story top 10 - and Fugly? yeah, bag-head stories deserve a list of their own!

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

No, not in general.

It doesn't matter now anyway because you have your own list. Yay!

Nicola,
thank you most sincerely.
And I thank all who contributed in any way.

Buddy
You've been a bad girl! Now take your pajamas off and go to my room!
My pleasure Buddy. I'm always open to ways in which the setup can be improved or made fairer.

Gav has put the poem list up already. I've asked him to trim it down to the Top 5 picks.
Yay, Martini! I should tell you that I am working on a poem. I expect to publish it in a few days. Prepare to be 3-bombed without mercy! (rofl)

Sorry to drag this up but I noticed that all the Top Authors are all stories. Are poets now excluded from that list?

I don't know how Gav is going to fix that particular conundrum, or even concern himself with it.

We are primarily a story site. There are places for 5 poets on the front of site to be listed in the top lists already.

I really don't want to keep pestering Gav to make minor tweeks here there and everywhere, he's several months behind on the mobile version of lush as it is, and I gave him something else which needs dealing with urgently yesterday.

Completely understand. I just thought it would be good to ask just in case we get asked.

nicola,,,you are a true matriarch!
Able to leap tall buildings.
most of all: able to control many people in times of squander.
I think I'm in love with you!

What better place, than on a sex site!

Love scooter

Forget that little emoticon

Time to put the bottle down Scooter!
umm... i've changed my mind... can it go back to the way it was? *Giggles and ducks throw objects*

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
