The last time I checked into it, I found that good writing, just like taking out the garbage contrary to popular belief, is NOT a sex-linked characteristic.
And I almost forgot - yes that is meinmy avatar. That photo was taken in about 2003 or so, while I was playing for an outdoor wedding. SInce I am obviously reading a chart, I am probably playing "Sophisticated Lady", which the bride requested as the music for her mothers entrance. (I still don't know the changes to that tune.) LOL

I tend to have trouble with shyness in "party" or "club" situations too, when I am a stranger. Here's what gets me past the shyness, and nearly always evolves into some sort of conversation: "Hi, I'm _____________. I know this sounds like a pickup line, but I find you attractive, and would like to get to know you in the normally accepted sense of the word."
You'd be surprised at how many women will respond with, "As opposed to the Biblical sense?" and laugh.
I think because it is honest, and because it gets all the sexual agnst out of the way upfront, we can easily move on from there to real conversation.

You mean you don't shake a magic 8 ball and that is how you push the stories through! lol Just Kidding. This makes sense. As a new author, this was all very informative on not only the rules on Italics, but also how stories are moderated!
Ask again later.

Thanks for the reminder, PP. I'd forgotten about the letter exception.
In the great scheme of things, the closer Lush sticks to industry standards the better it is for writers. Helps get us accustomed to doing it the right (more or less) way which tends to please editors and agents.
.
As Ms Nicola said, "Very good point, Mr. Rumple."
Incidentally, see what I did there with the punctuation?
Whether I am writing or I am verifying stories, I try to follow Strunk and White's Elements of Style, or Turabian's Manual of Style For Writers of Dissertations, Theses and Research Papers (commonly known as Turabian, or Chicago style). I don't however, keep them open at my side; I mostly remember the rules set forth in them, and refer to them only when I run into something or a situation for which I cannot remember the rules.
I also refer stories to the rest of the moderating team when ever I have a question about any part of a story, regardless of what the question is. All of us moderaters do that when we have doubts or concerns. We believe consistency in our decisions adds both fairness to the writers and credibility to our decisions when we are forced to reject a piece.

It's interesting to read this clarification as my story 'The Man of My Dreams' originally included taking a sleeping pill as part of the Dom's instructions. I re-wrote that section after reading the submission guidelines as I posted since I didn't want to get into trouble with the moderators. I don't feel that the story suffered and I'll probably steer clear in future... although knowing me I actually won't.
Taking the pill as part of following instructions is acceptable, provided there is no coercion. In all Dom/sub relationships, as with all other acceptable stories on Lush, there is always the option to decline. So if, for example, a Mistress tells her sissy he has to take a viagra a hour or so before the mistress expects to be home, and he choses to follow that instruction, that is perfectly acceptable. If, on the other hand, she stuffs a ball gag in his mouth and puts a pill through the hole in it without his knowing, or without his specific acceptance, that is not.

Interesting. I know that when I see the girls tits that are either augmented or, in a couple of cases, lifted I am envious. (actually its the lifts I really like best)
MY second wife had a reduction, as has a friend of mine. Pat (my ex-wife) had no problem with hers, but Carolyn says after the reduction, she lost all sensitivity in her nipples. So far as I know, I have never been with a woman who has had augmentation or lifts, but it seems to me, ninety percent of whether it is a turn-on or not is how she feels about herself, and what aura she projects.

1) Breaking bad
2) The Walking Dead
3) Game of Thrones
4) The X-Files (no longer on, but I loved this show!)
5) Boston Legal (again no longer on, but I enjoyed it. a lot)
6-? I also enjoy(ed) The Goodwife, Deadwood, Weeds, ER, Red Dwarf, but I rarely watch TV so to expect me to converse about them is kinda umm pointless.
Lister was my hero!

ANd I would respectfully maintain that BS is not confined to her telling of the story. It is just as possible (and I believe highly likely) that the bs element was introduced by a reporter or an editor who chose to leave out a few facts, just to make the story more "marketable". But, what ever the reason, there is a strong stench of bs in the article as it stands.

These are all photos of tools I made for doing clock and watch repair, and a pretty watch
Tool post made to mount a Dremel on the lathe.
Wrench for adjusting alarm clock balance pivot cones
Here is a multi-sized runner I made, for polishing clock pivots.
This is the lens I hold in front of my digital camera to take close-ups, and the adapter collar I turned from some scrap.
I had to put a new mainspring in my pocket watch.

Was tired of watching poorly acted, and badly scripted porn. Did a search for "erotic stories" and found this site.First story I read was by CG Brumby (RIP). I had to join to comment, and she convinced me to submit my first one . SInce then, I have "met" and "conversed" with some wonderful people here (and some asshats - buit like anywhere else, "ya pays yer money, an' ya takes yer chances").
I have told several people about this site, and that I am a writer and story verifier here; whether they have joined or not, I couldn't say.
