Recently I just recovered from a rare heart virus. At one point I truly thought it was the end, when they brought in the crash cart. It is such a helpless feeling to be so weak it is impossible to even lift your arm.
So my biggest fear is death it's self. But that fear is also my biggest motivator. I consider each day a blessing, a gift.

Yes. I have given an RR which was removed by administration. It was a poem. I understood it, and it took a lot of effort to read, but I thought it was as good a poem as any written in the USA in the 21st century. I have been especially stingy with my RRs since, especially when it is poetry, which is very subjective. I know that it hurt the poet, but it hurt me as well, I wouldn't want to impose that on any writer. I should have had the poem reviewed and criticized by others before awarding the RR, I suppose, but I generally award RRs based on what I like. My taste in poetry leans toward the beat poetry of the mid 20th century, and French symbolism. I learned from this incident that I shouldn't try to impose my taste on others.
RRs are not awarded at random. They are not awarded as a gesture of friendship. They are one moderator's attempt to show the readership a story or poem that they think is worthy of the reader's time. I don't have time to read every story or poem on Lush, so my RRs are generally awarded to stories that I have verified myself, but any moderator can award an RR to any story or poem at any time. Any story or poem can be nominated for an EP. There really is no favoritism. Some outstanding writers and poets just draw a lot of readership from the moderation staff. Their chances of an RR are better because more mods read them.
Become outstanding. Become familiar to the moderators by writing good stories and poems. Read the Lush requirements. Proofread. A story which needs lots of proofreading is very likely to be sent back. I have never seen a story which had a huge amount of punctuation and grammatical errors which was of RR quality. Usually there are other issues.
Learn to write. Don't just send your masturbation scribbling in expecting it to be posted. Just because it gets you off doesn't mean it's publishable. Learn the craft. Even the best writers make some mistakes, of course, but they are usually the ones most happy to have them corrected.
These are my last thoughts on this subject.
Well said. Recently I submitted a story that was sent back by Evie for a couple punctuation errors and one misspelled word. I was taken back a bit because I rarely have a rejection but in this case she was right on. I didn't proofread it carefully enough, which I normally do at least four times. So what you say is perfect. But... Even if a submission has perfect grammar, there is so much more to a quality story than that. It must engage the reader. If reading it becomes a chore rather than blessing, then it needs work. We've all written clunkers before. God knows I have.
My biggest pet peeve in reading erotica are stories that start off with the physical description of the characters. If the author does that, they loose me immediately.,

This was never about me getting anything, plenty on other sights.... If you read at all, this was about being open... Wow butthurt lol.... Name calling just seems so trivial, by a mod too tsk tsk lol...
Butthurt is an attitude. Butface is a name. Lol.
Actually your writing is good. Keep on submitting and I'm sure the recognition will come. Hang in there.

This is not complicated. Some more accomplished authors get more awards than other's because they are putting out quality work. Every author thinks his or her writing is worthy, but that just isn't so. I leave my older work up to remind me of the progression I've made. I know there are miles to go yet.
The mods do their best to single out the outstanding work. There is more than grammar and syntax in play. It must have a original memorable story line, good character development and a well designed conclusion. I read stories that I think we're outstanding that if it were up to me, I'd give an RR. However, it is subjective for each mod to to develope their own criteria. I personally think the mods do a great job.

I think the think tank is a different animal. The serious nature of the questions there are going to elicit a full range of opinions. Hardliners from both sides of issue are sure to clash.
If you want no drama then go to a forum where they ask what is your favorite flower or ice cream flavor?

I used to respond to these type of threads and actually attempt to carry on a conversation and find a way to work out some solutions. now? do what i do. there's a block feature, or you can simply ignore posts that annoy you. it's called being an adult. if people put as much time into writing as they did in-fighting in the forums, they'd have some pretty damn good stories up. still have time and energy? volunteer or do charity work. i do both, as well as attend school, mod ya'lls stories, and enjoy a committed relationship with a wonderful woman. really, leaves very little time to get annoyed by all this silliness.
besties,
rach
I agree and thanks Rach for all you do.
I know I'm probably off base but I think if someone is offended by a person in the forum, then simply don't converse with them. Problem solved.

Letting myself go! My biggest orgasms can be pretty embarrassing, so I usually have them with partners I'm very relaxed and comfortable with, because they know what to expect. When I cum big, I queef, loudly! My pussy expands inside and sucks in air, then I bear down hard, and it all gets expelled in a big, embarrassing fartlike sound, so I usually only let that happen with other girls who are performing oral on me. With guys, I have squeezed them so hard their cocks have been pushed out of me when I cum really fiercely, and if his dick is long enough to be buried deeply inside me, they love the feeling of me squeezing them so tightly when I explode.
Now that is hot. Should use this in one of your stories. My wife is a screamer. My son recently told me it was difficult living with us, as it was like trying to do homework durning a porn movie.
