I saw it the second week it was out and I enjoyed it. I agree with person who said Superman should have been more like the way the made Wonder Woman (fish out of water kind of thing). Was it the greatest move ever... no. It was enjoyable and yes... a bit overrated. At least it wasn't all T & A like the original Lynda Carter television show was.

Maybe if we had more good superhero movies with a strong female lead less hype would have been made about this. Either that or they should have done more with the female villain.
I'm not your messenger service to send your hate mail. If you want your nasty, hateful letters sent... do it your-fucking-self. I got through most of your three hateful letters and to be honest... you're full of shit and I'm done. Delete me from your email... unfriend me from Facebook. I knew you were just stewing in your hate... at least I had the good sense to delete my letter before I sent it.

To quote the movie Frozen... "Let it go!"

I'm done.

Yeah. I posted this in the wrong thread, but perhaps there could be a time limit between blocking/unblocking the same person. So if you unblock someone to PM them, and then go to immediately block them again, there could be a message that states you can't block that person again for another 24 hours.


Valid point and one that maybe Gav can look into.

this year, we've decided to do something different - we're picking winners from the pool of people who DIDN'T enter. best of luck, Emily. Sorry, Mike - you're outta luck.


Woohoo! For once I've got a chance!
Because this issue has come up a few times before in other forum threads, could there be a guideline about posting entire articles in the forums. I don't mind links and brief summaries, but copying and pasting the entire article since it could be an issue of copyright infringement (as someone just corrected me on, and not plagiarism). Thus, it could be an issue for the poster and the site.
An awesome lady who sets an example that all of us should strive to follow!



Let's bust out some champagne...



and celebrate!



Congratulations Bethany!
Hypocrite: (n) a person who indulges in hypocrisy. If I look in the dictionary, I'll see your picture.

Hypocrisy: (n) the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense.

You claim you want to "close the book on yesterday", then you continue to rehash the past trying to make yourself look like the victim when it was your choices that put you in the situation you were in, and are currently in. And don't think either of us missed that part of "the next time you're in Las Vegas you'll meet us for dinner." Really, we've lived here for four years and you've failed to tell us you were in town? Yet you'll bitch and complain that I don't see you every time I'm California. You're right, it's a two-way street, or in this case, a two-way freeway, yet you expect me to always come out to see you, but you can't be bothered to see us.

Oh, and please continue to lie about events I was at. Please continue to make yourself a martyr and cut your family (who's been there for you) out of your life and blame them for your woes. None of us have been hiding from you as you claim, you are the one who has been hiding from us and you have acknowledged such. You weren't expected to do anything as you claim, but you sure as fuck enjoy playing the victim card. You sure as fuck enjoy the sympathy you get when you tell people how ungrateful your relatives are. You sure as fuck enjoy twisting the truth and lying so you look like the sympathetic victim instead of the delusional person you truly are. These delusions you're living with are destroying you and you seriously need to get some professional help.

Enjoy your hypocritical life... without us.

Eh. The nature of LUSH is to hand out 5s in many cases like candy, or in fear of retribution of a low score because you gave a low score. In my eyes, fives are a perfect story. Wouldn't change anything over what the author wrote. 99% clear of grammar mistakes and spelling mistakes (unless there's an intended style, in which case I think perfect grammar is a bit fucking silly). And the story flows well.

There are far more five-vote competition stories out there and in general, than stories/entires over the years actually worthy of a five. Even some competition winners aren't entirely perfect.

Anyway, 4s are underestimated and are perfectly acceptable scores given to eventual competition winners.

2 (don't even bother voting if that's bad as I likely didn't finish reading it anyway).
3 is average.
4 is above average.
5 is excellent.

I'd say the Lush scoring system is ultimately meaningless, but that's just me. And it's a debate that's been in almost every competition.

What ultimately matters is content, originality, and if you asked me, successfully different stylistic flairs than the standard fair. Though style is probably the most subjective of the lot when it comes to judging.

Regardless. I'd say the scoring is ultimately on the lower end of deciding decisions in judging winners. I sure as fuck wouldn't trust the scoring system. I sure as hell don't trust Amazon's scoring system for books.


I've heard the complaint before about the issues with the 5's on stories... both comp stories and others many times over. I've heard the bitching and whining when some authors get 3's, 2's, or the dreaded 1. A long time ago I accepted that people will vote what they will and there is nothing I can do about it. If someone feels my story is worthy of 1, I trust they have a reason. Score trashing isn't as bad here as other sites (like Lit). While others might rally around a low score I'm given, I just nod and smile. Now that we no longer know who votes on our stories, I hope it will bring forth more honesty in the scoring.

I did say I've read some comp entries that I knew would win, and I was right. Call it an educated guess at best, or the ability to recognize incredible quality. I've also read some that placed in the Top 3 or even the Top 10 I thought were pure crap and I chose to not vote for fear of being accused of score trashing. But reading stories and evaluating them is on some level, very subjective. Since I'm not a comp judge (nor do I want to be) I can be as subjective as I wish. I'm sure the comp judges have for lack of a better term a rubric of some sorts to help them sort out the winners. As Nicola said, after a while the crap is easily filtered out.

As I said before, the judges have a difficult and too often thankless job. I've been blessed to have ranked in the Top 10, 12, & 15 in the last few comps I've dared to enter. So to the judges, whomever you are, Thank You for considering my pieces worthy.
If I read a competitor's piece, and I choose to vote, I vote honestly. I would never sandbag a competitor and I would hope that my fellow competitors would treat me the same way. There have been some amazing comp pieces that once I read them, I knew I had read the winner. However, knowing that in the realm of the comps, votes from my fellow competitors aren't counted for or against me does help. I think for most of us, it's just the earning the minimum 10 that we mostly worry about. Besides, I've seen some winners of comps not get all 5's and I would trust those lower scores were from those not in the comps (at least, that's what I'd like to hope for anyway.)

In the end, the judges have the most difficult job in picking the winners and it's rarely if ever an easy job. These judges never get enough respect for all their hard work, including Nicola.
All the Minions have come to celebrate this monuments occasion...



And the Mods have brought a cake.



So, let's pour some champagne and celebrate!!!



Nicola! And many, many more!

Nicola said i need to start being nicer to people here. And Hercules thought he had it bad.


Are you sure it was Nicola who made this request and not Cleo El Gato in disguise? Just saying.
I won't even say I'm surprised by this ultimate outcome. When I saw the multiple forum posts, I knew it was only a matter of time before they and her account would be deleted. I'm sorry you were thrown under the bus like you were Liz.
Lie and deny until it becomes true. I didn't cut you out of my life, you cut me out of yours. Accept your shit and own it. Stop hiding from me and your bill collectors, I'm tired of getting their calls about your shit. Stop blaming me for your fuck-ups and stop hating me for my happiness and success. And be warned, if you make me choose between you and them, you will lose.
How the fuck did I miss this? Please forgive me Honeydipped! I had a total blonde moment!

Win or lose, they will be walking away with paychecks larger than most of us will see in a year (or a lifetime.)
You say you use your Smartphone everyday, and yet you're not getting any smarter.
