So you have a friend who you get on amazingly well with. In fact you have fallen in love with them. Only problem is they are married. They seem to reciprocate your feelings but you're not totally sure. Do you come clean about how you feel about them or keep your feelings to yourself.........
You keep the feelings to yourself.
There really aren't any good outcomes to telling. You break up a marriage? You become the other woman? Your friendship ends or becomes awkward?

I know it has been a long time since this thread was live, but nobody pointed out the great problem with first person narratives.
In a third person "fly on the wall" composition there is no limit to what information can be passed to the reader. In first person only what that person actually knows, sees and experiences can be told.
"Is this love?" (s)he asked me. is fine but not (S)he was wondering if this were love. as the first person narrator can only guess at the other people's thoughts.
Similarly, the narrator needs to be told by a someone else what happened when (s)he was not there.
All my writings are in the third person because it allows me to relate activities which are forbidden in first person, such as events my hero(ine) did not witness and the feelings of other characters.
On the other hand, if you're trying to create mystery, you don't necessarily want to know the other points of view. Too much information ruins the tension. So limiting the information you can give by POV isn't necessarily a bad thing.

the consensus among people i've been talking with is that they can vote honestly, instead of how they feel obligated to vote. honestly, i have stories that i don't think deserve 5s and i'm okay with not getting them.
I agree with you about some of my stories not deserving 5s.
Like Oceanrunner (and he can vouch for this, because I whined to him), my first 3 was a butt-hurt moment, just because it was outside of the culture of Lush voting. It took me a bitching PM and an hour to get over it.
I'm just trying to think about the rating system now. Should I continue with the if-you-don't-have-something-nice-to-say philosophy? Even though they may not know it's me, I'm still not trying to shit on new or improving writers. And is "shitting on" them still just giving a 3?

I knew who gave most of my scores. I have one reader who reads every story and only leaves a score, never a comment. Sometimes he gives me a four and sometimes he gives me a five. I really liked it that he liked some of my stories better than others.
I won't turn off scoring. If I did, it would be like saying I don't trust my own opinion of my own writing. Of course I love encouragement, but a 2 isn't going to make me like one of my own stories any less.
But you're right, Oceanrunner. I would expect to see less perfect fives. I'm trying to decide if it will change how I vote....

I've been part of a BDSM relationship and I found that with careful build and a lot of trust, pain could be a very intense part of the sex. I never considered it "violence" because it was all perfectly consensual. I never had a problem with physical abuse from this partner, so it didn't seem to blur any critical lines.
So, no. I don't think that the practice encourages violence. Anyone who would use BDSM as an excuse to harm someone would have found some other excuse without that one.

I'll recommend AngryishLover....
Give I'm Desperate to Fuck You a try. It's hot and tense and deserves the RR.

I completely missed this! Thank you so much.

just saw this and got SO happy!I agree on Burquette and I also love RavenStar and Dancing_Doll
You're one of my new favorites. You have such a knack for older/younger and reluctance.
I'm going to add Puddleduck, who may be on hiatus, but her stories look like they're still here. And I have to second Jen and RavenStar. She hasn't written too much, but I've enjoyed what I've read of Pheenix.

I'm spending this Christmas in the hospital with a sick loved one. If you are a nurse, or give care in a hospital, you ARE an act of kindness. I can't tell you how much the loving attention of a stranger matters. The attention may be their job but loving isn't...and they do that in droves.

I did this within the last year.
I've been a heavy coffee drinker since college and moderate before that. My grandparents gave me cups with lots of milk when I was in my single digits (It was the 70's. I probably could have had beer, too).
I got a horrible stomach problem a few months ago and was off of all food for three days and all liquids except water for about two weeks. The headache was monstrous but it could have been from the dehydration, too. When I tried coffee again, it made me shake.
I eased myself back onto caffeine. I need it for my job but it's much more controlled than it used to be. Maybe three cups a day.

I wrote an erotic Christmas story about a sixty-seven year old mall Santa and his twenty-two year old elf helper/lover. You'll never see a mall Santa or a Christmas display the same way again!
