I've made the best discovery (you probably all know about it already but it's AMAZING)
I've started saving my stories to google docs - this means that they are all saved online and that I can access and edit them from my phone, ipad or indeed any device at any time at all.
Like a word programme, you can edit, add comments etc
But you can also add other people to your document as well and chat online as you work.
It really is quite simply wonderful and I have been much much more productive since I've started using it...
Once I've submitted a story, I just save a final copy to my laptop...
It's the best thing I've found in AGES!

Interesting topic...I had been reading Lush stories as a non-member for a while so was not voting/commenting.
As a member I usually don't comment because simply & honestly, I'm lazy. In some cases a story may not be my cup of tea so I would be unlikely to comment. The story or writing may have been brillliant but I would feel awkward commenting.
Recently I gave a 4/5 score on an excellent story, typical of me because I'm the guy who gives 9/10, 99/100 (yeah THAT guy) Then a subsequent commenter posted a comment wondering why anyone would give less than a five. And just like that a lightbulb went on...
What qualifies me, with exactly zero stories posted, to be so scant with praise? The author in particular is one of the best so the 4/5 started to look pretty chintzy.
Mazza's comments above are spot on. As a recent poster of my first poem, receiving comments was especially gratifying and encouraging. You would think it obvious but it drove home to me the value of comments.
I usually read the writer's profile and will comment based on that eg new writer I would always want to be positive and encouraging in my comments, if the profile clearly suggests constructive criticism is requested than I might be a bit more direct.
Personally I am interested in receiving and would appreciate honest feedback, I know I have a lot to learn.
That's a really encouraging post!
It's funny isn't it? How actually writing and posting your own work changes your outlook?
I guess we crave the approval of our peers to some degree?
I know that lots of views and scores really make my day and I am stunned and filled with pleasure by the people who take the time to do so!
Some people will send a pm or an im as well, perhaps if they are too shy to comment publicly or if their comments are more critical in nature...
It's all good!

I love that anyone takes the time to read any of my stories (or even listen to the audios, which I've recorded for most of them)
Sometimes, people simply don't have the time to leave a comment or vote, or perhaps they aren't signed into Lush, or do not have an account.
Some people might not enjoy the story, or find it displeases them in some way and rather than offend the author, maybe they choose to say nothing.
Often times, people don't have anything to say, or maybe don't know how to say it - they just enjoy reading...
I really love it when people vote on my stories and if they go to the bother of leaving a comment, well that really makes my day!! (I try to respond to those who do, just to say thanks for doing it)
I do wish that people who leave a lower score, would also PM or leave a comment though, so that I can learn how to improve etc.
I'd never do the thing where you force people to leave a comment if they want to vote though. I'd rather they voted/commented through choice, not because they felt they had to...

Hello fellow Lushies,
I am looking for a little help (and apologies if I have posted this in the wrong place).
I write quite a lot of stories and I like to record audio versions of them too. People seem to quite like that and I must say that I enjoy doing it.
My "problem" is thus...
I have a story which is written from a male point of view and although I wouldn't mind recording it myself, I do think that it would sound much better if it were read by a man.
Can anyone recommend someone who might be interested in reading/recording it for me?
