This is absolutely perfect.

Quote by Lilly
With the recent push for collaboration and excitement about collaboration, I think it would be amazing if a notice went out to the followers of both authors. I would love to get a notice that one of the authors I follow collaborates with someone. Especially if it exposes me to a new author in the meantime. I know I have missed collaborative efforts of my favorite authors and I love the section of the profile for collaboration pieces but I am not on everyone I follows profiles near often enough.

Just an idea.

As we are tinkering with badges, I would like to suggest that those ranked 1, 2 or 3 in a story competition get a indicating that in gold, silver or bronze and that those who were the remaining in the top ten get a finalist competitor badge. It would be good if these could be awarded retrospectively just as the number indicators on other badges are being done.

The competitions here are fierce and those in the top ten in each contest deserve some kind of recognition as well as the winners and seconds and thirds. This information also could be listed with the competition information after it closes for readers looking for something interesting to read.

You are quite correct. These numbers are just placeholders until the badge process runs. This is normally around 4am UTC for the keen viewers at home.

Oh, yeah, I remember the Gray Davis thing. And, yeah, if we were to recall Trump, we'd get Pence. Maybe if it came to that we can get a two-fer, but who would take over then?

Thank you for saying that, but really, we can't just impeach him, so what's left? Believe me, our POTUS is an elected official, but we can't just 'un'elect him. All we can do now is give him a chance. If he fucks up bad enough (placing bets, I'd rather see Pence in the drivers seat...still don't like Hillary :-) ) then we can impeach him. Time will tell, but until then, pray sister, pray. I know the rest of the world is looking at us and wondering why we voted a clown into office. xx

Would it be possible to add a edit button to your blog. So many times you have made a typo and have to write it all over again. Or you would like to add something, and a edit button would make it so much easier. Thank you in advance.

Like buttons on forum comments!

Could the rules about forum signature sizes be re-enforced please? Many people, including some mods, these days have signatures that exceed the 150px height (total) stated in the Lush Guide to Forum Signatures.
I know it's possible to hide them all, I just did, but I'd rather leave them on if many they weren't so huge.

See? I didn't hand you your arse, as you said in your comment on Beribboned And Bowed. Apparently the word "hijinks" only applies to happy, silly things and not darker twist endings, which are still a sort of hijinks,on the subject (or victim) of the twist.

Anyway, very happy for you, as I am for all the winners and honourable mentions.

I see that all contributors to a collaboration are now eligible for the badge regardless of who actually posted the story. Great work, Gav. The way you executed this change and how it is displayed is just top notch.

Quote by gav
The way is is today, a story has a single author but can have multiple co-authors. Its these co-authors who are credited with the Collaborator badge.

Does it make sense for the author to also receive this? I guess?

I think the "Collaborative" badge would be a great one. It throws the author who's not the author of record a little bone, and it also might inspire some fun collaborations. It's very easy to hunker down and get in a certain rut, writing your own stuff (nothing wrong w that), but I've had a lot of fun and learned a lot in my three collaborations, all of which took different forms, w VirgoGo.

That is, the badge might produce a very positive kind of response as people who are motivated by such things (me included) look to earn it.

The new badge should be available now to the lucky recipients. Now with any new badge, its surely going to annoy the current crop on Omni holders lol

Quote by HeraTeleia
Granted, if I'm reading your story and I think it truly sucks, for whatever reason, I'll just stop reading and not comment or score, but I would imagine that there are at least some readers out there who feel somehow wounded by having been 'forced' to finish reading a story that did nothing for them, and those readers are probably the ones who give low scores. Wouldn't call those readers "score bombers". And I really doubt that there are readers who actively seek out stories that they know won't appeal to them with the active intention of giving a low score.
