Damn, that's a tough one. It would have to be one of my poetry stanzas I think.
We linger awhile upon the grass
Where chequered shadows of clouds doth pass,
Shrouding the sun and its warming rays reach
Before passing on to let the summer heat preach.
or
Two become one as each become whole.
An irresistible, desperate, aching urge
To consume a beauty of angel, stole
In the frenzied swell of tempest surge.
We linger awhile upon the grass

If the writers name is to remain on the story, don't allow that name to be used again for registering an account. Personally I don't see Why is it out of the question to have stories on the site written by "guest"? Everyone will know it was written by someone who deleted their profile. How is it different to seeing it on the forums? It's still a piece of writing waiting to be read.
If an account deactivation would suit the purpose perfectly, why does new functionality need to be requested? The stories would remain on-site assigned to the correct author name.
Having them assigned to a 'guest' account sounds stupid to me. Who would be responsible for those 'guest' stories? Who would own the copyright on it once the author has left the site? What happens when we get a new member message the site saying they were the original author and they now want it taking down, or wish to resubmit it under their new account?
If the stories retained the username, which is what deactivation already offers, what difference does it make?
Mountain - molehill. Just remove your details and deactivate, it's a single button click.

Who is talking about after an account is deleted? I thought the suggestion was having the choice to leave stories here when deleting a profile?
The point is that the existing deactivation option would serve the purpose people are asking about. If you want to abandon an account but leave your stories on the site, all you have to do is strip all your private info from your account such as your email address, then deactivate it.
If you delete an account, who would the stories left behind be attributed to? You couldn't have them floating around assigned to a 'guest' account. The original username would need to be reserved which would prevent it from being used again (recycled) in the future by a new sign-up. As someone who has previous left and rejoined Lush with the same username, I am sure you can appreciate that is not the best solution.

Think they should take it off,do a robot pay for this site? No!!!!!!!! And I won't either if they don't and I can't use all of it. Please take it off. We all need to stick together. Why put up with this crap.
Give the site an alternative technical solution which prevents automated scripts from trying to sign up accounts and send out thousands of spam messages. I'm sure it will be considered.
This security measure is a work in progress in an effort to keep Lush spammer free. Hopefully it will be temporary but I'd rather this than several hundred PM's and black boxes every day advertising mail order brides and milfs in your areas.
Well, milfs...

Liz, I live in the USA. Under the Patriot Act. All mail, and virtually any site can be accessed by them or former members can access any site they wish.
What does the Patriot Act have to do with deleting Lush accounts? You've lost me now, sorry.
Also, retaining cached data on individuals after they have requested their account be deleted is a privacy issue. No website should store anything about its members once they leave.

I pray that you see the point I am trying to make.
I don't. Resurrecting deleted profiles sounds complicated and unnecessary. If you want to leave for an indefinite period of time but don't want to permanently delete everything including your stories, why can't you just deactivate your account?

Surely this option would also work for people who wish to abandon their current account altogether in favour of a new one, but also wish to preserve their literary efforts?

Wow. That sounds absolutely terrible. What is described in the intro immediately made me think this is torture porn.
If that is an actual excerpt from the ebook then I think the author is aiming high at $1.24. Forgetting the actual content of the story for a moment, this sample pretty much sums up everything I hate in a story.
It starts with the 'shopping list', i.e. the physical description of the characters. That to me is the sign of a lazy author who couldn't be bothered to weave those details into the story. It also sounds like it is written by someone without a basic understanding of female anatomy (what is a '4 breast size'?). It lacks a serious amount of detail, for example, 'I have the distinctive facial features'. What, like an unibrow? It is also not paragraphed or punctuated properly and is grammatically incorrect in numerous places.
Needless to say, I will not be purchasing a copy.

However....I now can't seem to edit it again. Is there something I'm missing? Is there a way to get in to the story and change those few mistakes? Or do I have to wait for a moderator to either (kindly) correct those mistakes for me, or (understandably) return the story to me?
Once you submit a story to the verification queue you are no longer able to edit it. This is to ensure that the story or poem it is not constantly changing whilst a moderator is trying to read through it.
Once it is either rejected or approved, you can then go back in and make any amendments you would like.
I have returned to you the story you had in the verification queue. Please make whatever corrections you wish and resubmit it.
Hope all of that made sense.

From any tag results page the 'Forum' link on the top of the screen does appear to be coded incorrectly.

Can you tell me the secret to calling my... what's the right word... My End Boss' interests a laugh?
Seriously.
She prefers the term 'Overlord'.
And tell me about it, you can't move for inflatable fuck dolls in our place. They're everywhere.
