I have done all that. It's just on this one Ipad. All my other sources work and don't do.
I'm just confused and really don't know what to do.
I suppose I just won't look at lush from that device.
Giggles,

A lifelong fan of Doyle’s detective fiction, Stephen Fry has narrated the complete works of Sherlock Holmes – which totals four novels and 56 short stories – exclusively for Audible.

Maybe I am missing something here. what is the difference between a co-author and a collaborator? are there to be 2 separate badges?
He meant collaborator badge. There isn't a 'co-author' badge.

how do you do that? I have never seen a way to sort authors any way other than the alphabetical list that comes up. but I agree, sortable by all the criteria would be nice.
Click on the column header where it has '# Stories'.

When we block someone they can't see our profile when they login to lush. However they can view our profile as a guest. Is it possible to have a feature where we can block our profile from guest views? We can have it as an option in settings. It will be really helpful. I am on the verge of deleting my account because of a stalker. I don't want this person to view my account as a guest.
Have you been through your account settings screen?
You can practically hide everything on your profile from everyone except your friends: forum posts, images, videos, friends list, wishlists, statistics, bio, comments, etc...

Are you recommending them?
You are brilliant. I'll follow you anywhere.
Protonmail mail is basically email for the security conscious. If you're not too fussed about the specifics, then is probably the way to go. It's certainly better than , , etc.
If you like knowing your emails are stored in a country that takes privacy seriously (Switzerland) and that everything on their servers is encrypted to prevent -style hacks and data breaches, then they are awesome.
They offer free accounts as well as paid options and now have mobile apps for Android and iOS.
They get my thumbs up.

Buying 1000 lottery tickets doesn't guarantee you a win, it just improves your odds.
Improves them a lot over the person who can only afford one ticket.
Collaborative writing efforts mean a shared knowledge pool greater than any single person. Several different personalities, with several different sets of life experiences and multiple types of creative thought process. Everyone has a particular set of skills (like Liam Neeson) whether it is a flare for imaginative plot lines, to technically precise grammar and punctuation. You put them together collectively, odds are you end up with a better story.
Doesn't necessarily mean it will be better than something one person can write by themselves, but it's still an advantage over a solo effort. Similarly with the division of labour. A lot of authors struggle even now to make the cut-off deadlines for the competitions. The adage 'many hands make light work' is absolutely true. If you're sharing the writing of a 5k word story with up to three other people, you're going to have an easy ride compared to the person who has to work their bollocks off to get it finished on time.
Doesn't sound like a very level playing field. If only some competitions were open to co-authored entries, that's different.

Surely, new members are of varying talents just as are existing members. Couldn't a new member win with their first entry?
There is no level playing field here. Abilities vary, and always will.
You don't think allowing co-authored stories for all competitions is in any way stacking the deck? Bear in mind that Lush allows up to three co-authors per story. What this is in effect saying, however good those new members may be, is that the stories they are going up against in the competitions may or may not have been written by up to four people.
I think story comps should be solo efforts with a friendly proofread by a third party if the author thinks it necessary.

Still! Nobody dares address the issue I've raised due to use of one simple word you all loathe but fear it's label so much. Discrimination! Say what you see? All I see are people putting self interest first. The sad part about discrimination is it always tries to exclude the perceived weakest. Just as this ruling does. People excluded from a competition they couldn't win anyway. Let's them know their membership fee is not as valuable as their friends. Xxpeace and loveXx
I'll address it, or at least try to.
"Isn't it more important that a competition story is judged on content rather than schoolwork."
I suspect many different aspects of a story are taken into account when judging. From the plot line and characters, to technical aspects such as sentence structure, grammar, and punctuation. You could hardly exclude any one of them. It is a story writing competition after all.
"Isn't it discrimination to exclude some due to lack of education, in most instances not their fault."
It would be if people were being excluded. The story competitions are open to everyone except for competition judges. No one is being excluded.
The intent I am sure is to make the competitions as fair as possible, and the only way to do that is to insist that everyone submit their own work. Put it this way, if the decision on the top spot came down to two stories and the eventual winner claimed the accolade purely on the spit-and-polish of their piece, it would be a shame to later learn that they had sent it to two or three people all of whom had assisted as part of a collaborative effort.
There is no way to police any of this, nor gauge the amount of help anyone has had on a story, from a quick glance for typos to an editorial re-work. It is a faith-based request for fair sportsmanship. In the case of people with dyslexia or other reading/writing difficulties, that would need to be addressed by Nicola. Perhaps having a second pair of eyes to check for glaring errors would be okay in consideration for competitive fairness. That is not for me to comment on though.
