Someone here asked if they could write another chapter to one of my stories. I said yes as long as they didn't use actual parts of my story in their own follow on chapters. That was a while ago though and they haven't followed through on the idea yet.
It doesn't bother me as long as the person asks permission first. It's similar to fan-fiction in a way and it's under someone else's name so I'm not responsible for the style or content.

I voted for option two. It's easy enough to see new stories on the front page or click on "follow the author" if I want to make sure I don't miss a new story. If all that fails I can see their status update or forum signature, which is a friendlier way of advertising. PMing an entire friends list is overkill in my opinion.

You should definitely contact the seller and if there are other authors experiencing the same thing with this person, it might help getting them on board too. See if you can Google the other stories and find the original authors.
Sorry about what you're experiencing. I know how annoying it can be, but it's good that you're following through and doing something about it rather than letting someone else cash in on your hard work.

This situation has fail written all over it whatever turns out to be true, sadly.
Guy has GF and is lying = FAIL
Guy has shitty friends who have no qualms about about seriously fucking with both of you = FAIL
Guy has to be drunk in order to meet you = FAIL
Guy waits days before giving you an explanation = FAIL
Well put. I agree.

Those women were rude to comment in that way when you didn't ask for their opinion. You did ask for ours though! I really like your boots but if I was to wear them I'd make them the star of the show and play everything else down. I would've worn a black top and skirt and left out the fishnets, but we all have different tastes. As you mentioned, it's up to you how you dress. As long as you're happy and it makes you feel good it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

Back in my younger days I used the hair of the dog cure, too. The first drink almost made me cry but numbers two and three always went down a treat.
The other hangover cure that always worked well was a huge slurpee.
Those days are behind me now though, and I've gotta say I don't miss them!

Would any one really say that nobody here cheats on their spouse or partner with cyber or other flirting online?
I'm not here for flirting, cyber, swapping pics etc. It's the writing and socialising side of things that interests me. Anything else I'm just not comfortable with and have no interest in.
I don't think I'm the only one either!

I keep mine as natural as possible so I don't scare anyone (including myself) when I have to go without for any reason.
I had a friend once who wouldn't leave her house without a full face of makeup. We've lost touch now, but I never got to see what she actually looked like - and we were friends for years.

Thank you, everyone!
My day started off with an early morning birthday text from my ninety year old grandma (which was enough to make my day on its own) but then my husband bought me jewellery, took me out for lunch and sent me flowers in the afternoon. It was a really wonderful day. Your messages have just topped it off!
Thanks.

It’s frustrating seeing good authors receive low scores just to take them off the top spot. It’d be different if the people giving those scores included a reason for their vote. Their feedback could turn out to be valuable to a writer who takes pride in their work.
I don’t think there’s a solution here though. Any kind of competition just brings out the worst in some people. You could extend the voting range to a ten point system but that just gives those who sabotage stories more power. If the Top Authors list was removed it would still leave the “most popular” and “most viewed” tabs in each category. Unfortunately it’s all a part of competition. The majority of people involved are good sports, but there’s a small number who aren’t. I hope none of you let those people discourage you. At least you can be happy knowing they'll never be able to manipulate the Editor’s Pick category. That's based on story quality rather than the author's popularity.

You get out of marriage what you put into it and that includes the time spent together before you make the commitment. It can't thrive on neglect.
It's funny that when people go out to buy a new car they often do a lot of research, spend many hours finding out all the good points and bad points, then make a decision - and they only keep the car for a short time. If everyone put the same amount of effort into finding the right partner, there'd be a much lower divorce rate.

Sometimes being unreliable is a good thing though. We had an electrician doing work at our place that took him six hours to complete. We still haven't received the bill after reminding him twice. And this was three years ago!
I hope you find someone soon. They're annoying when you have to keep chasing after them.
