I’ll have a coffee please while I admire the new decor. 

I’ll be back later for a beer and put one for Kimmi and Darkside on my tab to help commiserate the loss of our Omnium badges as we didn’t write stories. 

As Jello Biafra sang, “that’s progress” I guess.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what does EP stand for? The only version I know is Extended Play and that's for music.

Me, I'll have a gin and tonic cos it's Monday

I’ll join you in a bottle of Bucky. It’s been that sort of day 

Cheers everyone

I'm pretty sure this has already been reported, but one good, one bad report, both related.

First, the good. There is a facility for seeing ALL the stories in a series from any story of that series. I can't quite remember how to do it, but now that I know it's there, it will help immensely. However, unless the stories are numbered (Chapter 1, chapter 2, etc.) there's no chronology to the listing.

Now the bad. Although stories in a series are linked, they are not linked properly. One series I'm co-writing, "Sara Surrenders" has, I think, 10 chapters. When I clicked the "Continue Reading" button at the end of chapter 2, it took me to chapter 7.

Not optimal.

I know this is not a crucial thing, but please add it to the list of secondary or tertiary things to fix.

Thanks!

Also links between chapters that you haven’t made a series are not present. I have 6 chapters of Charlotte sometimes published. There is no linkage even though they were all linked before the move. I hadn’t made it a series as it was in the novels category and was clearly labelled chapter 1 etc. 

Also I thought in the old lush you had to have 3 stories to make a series so two part stories could not be serialised  now those links are missing too  

Also there is no read again button so if someone published part 3 of a series there is no easy way for a new reader to go back to part 1 and start at the beginning  

Hopefully full linkage will be restored soon. 

Thanks Seeker xx

Also while we’re on settings. I noticed I can set up when I get an email when various things occur. Message, profile comment, potential match etc but there isn’t an option for story comment. That would be the only one I’d be really interested in. Is this just an oversight?

"We are going to look at this, Admin"

How do you edit your forum signature?

Mine has links to my stories on the old site and I guess the address has changed as page not found comes up. Also the signature looks horrible and big and shouty. 

Not exactly up there in issues to fix but if anyone knows how to do it, I’d appreciate it

Hi I appreciate design issues will change later so I’m hoping the whole bastard offspring of Facebook and match.com is temporary 

But the biggie is the links for chapters of a series is missing which makes it harder for someone to find the next chapter of a series. Or it is missing on my stories. I checked chapter 5 of Charlotte sometimes. No link to chapter 6 or a read again link to chapter 4.

I put the age range for "what I'm looking for" as between 100-100. Hopefully that'll filter that rubbish out as much as possible. I've also lost my badges and I'm not going to bother getting myself "verified."

The rating part seems to be okay on the actual stories, but viewing it in the overview of all your stories gives the lowest 

Not sure what the whole dating thing is… or Publishing where I live and my age. I think I’ve found where to turn them off. I hope. 

The quote button seems to work ok

Stories are a bit all over the place. Counting co authored ones and the votes have changed a bit. One of mine, in the library for example was a solid 5 but now down to 4.8

Only 6 stories on the home page isn’t great and some of the pictures are a bit cringe looking. 

Can’t make head more tail of how to recustomise settings and miss the timeline  the activity feed seems to show everything I’ve written too which I don’t need  there’s probably a button somewhere 

The upside is I can read the forum posts on my phone. 

All in all, I think I need a drink. A Jameson’s.  No ice. I’ll blow a kiss in the general direction of the bar bear if that’s ok. 😘

Awww, sad news, James. I was really looking forward to watching her tonight when the finals are replayed in prime time.

I enjoyed last night's Olympics. Loved seeing Great Britain's synchronized divers win!

I need a stiff drink to dull the negative thoughts hitting me about my comp piece. Ugh. I have never cared about scores, but have really been sensitive lately to the littlest things. I pulled last comp story because of that, even though I started off feeling good about my story. Ugh. So mad at myself for letting a few down votes affect me. Somebody spank some sense into me, please!

I love the comradry with other authors in comps. I was happy with my story and want to stay happy with it regardless. Ugh. The struggle in my head with my critical voice is real!!

Greetings to all and big HUGS to those who need a few.

Just dropped in to to guilt trip all who have not yet gotten around to finishing their contest entry. As of a few minutes ago, there were 15 entries. The deadline for entering the contest is July 8. Last time I checked that was just over a week from now. (hint - hint)

Anybody want a drink?

Quote by RumpleForeskin
Greetings, to all who have come in here and those still trying.

Me, I'm wondering if James had included a 'no sex' tag and submitted it in the 'Humor' category, would it have slipped past the 'mod who said no'. I've long longed for Lush to create something along the lines of an 'erotic but with No Sex' type category.

it's way past time for me to fill my mug with today's ambrosia, a blessing on Big Bertha and Michelle, grab something in the nature of a goody or two and go sit with Coma and Tose at the corner table in the midst of their discussion of whether Tuesday should be designated 'Taco Tuesday' or the classic 'Titty Tuesday, or maybe the recently suggested, 'Tanned Tushy Tuesday. That last one was, I've been lead to understand, conceived as a tribute to Kimmi's Kiester.

All are welcome to join in. So who wants a drink?

Quote by JustAnotherSapphic

Sounds like a category I need since a lot of the things I write are sensual but not always sexual and/or romantic. Why isn't this a thing yet?

...and before y'all go "just use Love Stories," please remember that things can be sensual without being romantic.

Great tunes from Carl and it's lovely to see Linda popping in too, as well as all the irregular regulars.

Since you're offering Rumps, beer, please! It's been that kinda day...

Which story was that, Susie? I'm just intrigued. And sorry I'm behind with my reading. I'll catch up with your latest soonest.

There's a pint or 3 on the bar for you for later in honour of your Omnium achievement. Fabulous!

Hi, just sharing with my friends - that y'all

The magazine editor sent me the link to my published microfiction in their upcoming edition of their writer's magazine. She saw my micro on StoriesSpace and asked if she could publish it. I am excited for more people to read my scribbles.

Here it is:



I published in mag under my real name, which was kinda cool.

Update: Sorry, I was writing while James was writing. Above stories are incredible!!!! Embarrassed my lil thing popped up right after. Not trying to compete. Congrats to all above!!!!!
