Best world news I've heard in a long time!!! Maybe the US will take is head out of it's arse and follow suit. Well... a girl can hope. At least it's happening one state at a time.

not true. whenever i award an RR, i also dump a couple thousand into their paypal account.


So that's why you never RR my stories? Dang Sprite... I thought we were friends.
Quote by Magical_felix
Remember when they still had movie rental places? I'm talking videotape era, and there was a tiny little section with employee recommended movies. That's all those RRs are. It's a story someone liked and they are recommending it. It's not an "award".


That's a good analogy. The RR gets you a place in the RR tab (for those looking for a story with that tag), a badge (no matter how many you earn), the "blue thumb" icon on the story, and in the category, it's placed in the "Suggested" tab so those who want to see what the Moderators felt were a story they'd want others to read.

Mods do try to pick what we feel is an amazing story or poem, but we also know that not everyone will agree with us. The only "awards" are the EP and Comp Winners. Those are the creme de la creme of stories. Of course, here too not everyone is going to agree.

For those who have earned an RR, it's an honor. It's a way of saying, "I think your story is so good I want my friends to read it too."
19 years, 9 months... I marred the man and he fathered my son. Divorced after a few years. Good father... lousy husband.

I have a few things I'd like to see:

1. If you collaborate on a story it would be nice if the actual story showed on both profiles.

2. If both writers followers would be contacted when it publishes and not just the person who submitted.

3. In email, it would be great if there was an option to send to All Followers.

Hugs,
Mysteria

I'd like to second this request.

I said she would win when she announced with Sprite that she was going to enter. That's just how good she is. Congrats Ashleigh. Well deserved. However, thanks to all that entered. There were several that entered I enjoyed reading; like Nymphwriter, Bethany, Buz, and Sprite to name a few.


Thank you for your kind words Chuck... especially since mine didn't even make top 10.

Congrats to the winner & the others in the top ten.
I was so pissed! I nearly threw my TV off my balcony. I haven't been this upset since Lexi and Mark died. I mean... come on... first Denny, then George... Lexi and Mark... April's baby... and now this! UGH! At least they didn't kill off Christina.

Did I win yet, or nah?


No! You're such a BHB!

My dog ate my computer sad


Have you been hanging around my students? And what was your computer doing where your dog could get to it in the first place?
Quote by ChuckEPoo
After I saw Sprite, Buz and Nymphwriter entered I thought why bother. But I'll probably enter to just prove I'm a hopeless optimist.


Just the fact you think mine is worthy is an honor. But seriously... enter... try... expand you options. This was my first try at hardcore and I kinda enjoyed it.
Quote by avrgblkgrl
I think that I've come up with something that might work and I'm so excited. Of course the challenge for me is that I'm so sweetly innocent and absolutely wholesome that I may not be able to come up with something "deep and dirty" enough.


Wait... did I read that right? Okay ABG, you'd better start sharing what your smoking.
The separate poem and stories tabs have helped give attention to the amazing poems we get, and still gives the stories their due time on the home page. I give those pieces more time on the "first" page especially with the current comp, without taking away from all the great poems our writers produce. Of course not everyone will like the change. My first master teacher always told me, "The only person who likes change is a wet baby." But change is good, and I think this was a good change for all our writers: those who write only stories, and those who produce so many amazing poems.
Quote by MadMartigan


Ah, well.

I guess this thing is outdated then?

"New Stories only should be entered, not stories you've previously submitted here, or that have been published anywhere else online. Only standalone stories should be submitted, not those which are part of a series. Stories should be less than 12,000 words. Longer stories will be rejected.."


If the 10K limit is going to be super strict, then I'll just hold on to this story then for the foreseeable future until I can figure out what to do with it.


That old limit was how a couple of my earlier pieces slid through. Since then, the 10K limit has been in place (except when we had the Flash Erotica comp) and I for one am glad. I am no stranger to going over that limit and I've learned to either reign myself in, or just accept it will be a multi-part story.

From the comp page itself, it says this:

Stories for this competition should be under 10K words and contain one or more edgy sexual elements that puts the focus on the Hardcore and successfully melds the ‘deep and dirty’ with ‘the erotic’.


You're talented enough to write one within the guidelines of the 10K word limit. If this current one isn't going to make that limit, then break this one into two or more parts. The world wants & needs your amazing writing talents.

AVG won again! She's such an amazing writer! Way to go to the rest of the winners too! I'm proud to have read and verified some of the top ten!
Not a bad score considering it's Sunday. Most I knew, but some I got because I know my Greek & Latin roots. Looks like my chosen occupation has finally helped me out.

Thank you Mysteria, BowHunter, & Trinity! I needed to see this after the week I've had. Thank you all for putting a smile back on my face.

I owe a lot to Ruthie, Sprite, and of course WSCLG who has no problem in telling me when my stories are a bloody mess. And a big thanks to Liz for always giving me the advice that has kept me going.
Does this mean I have to pull my only BDSM story? It earned an RR after all. I will admit... it's pretty mild... I'm sure the true BDSM folks laughed at it. That's okay... laughter is a positive emotion.

Yes, vote count and average score are hidden for comp entries until the competition has closed.


You can see that someone voted on your story or poem on your timeline, but it won't tell you what they gave. So, it will say someone voted, but not, they gave you a 4, for example. This is how some keep track of making the minimum. Now, the standing rule is comments equals votes, and for the most part, that is true. But some like to vote without commenting.

I hope this helps make a bit more sense of this.
I wish that schools weren't so over crowded, and parents would actually parent their child and/or children. Stop being afraid of who your child might call. If you're raising your child right, you have nothing to fear. Trust me, a bit of discipline goes a long fucking way! They aren't entitled to iPads, smartphones, laptop computers, or cable TV. They won't stop breathing because you don't buy them an X-Box, Play Station, or other video game system. The world won't end because they don't get to post on Facebook, Twitter, or any other social media site. Making them wash dishes, feed the family pet, take out the trash, and other chores build character. It does NOT cause permanent damage!

And, if your child's school provides them an iPad, laptop, or other device, DON'T FUCKING TAKE IT FROM THEM! Don't go on Match.com because you're horny. Because the only person who gets in trouble is your child! That device was provided by the school district, is school district property, and you fucking signed the form accepting the responsibility for it! So stop abusing it!

Finally, if anyone thinks teaching is easy, spend a day in my classes. You'll be running for the hills. My kids can smell fear & they love fresh meat. My smallest class has 30 students, my biggest has 32. That is way too many for the age group I work with. Any fool who says class size reduction doesn't work, ISN'T A FUCKING TEACHER!!! I know for a fact from first hand experience it does!

I'd tip my hat to Wonder Mods RUTHIE and NYMPHWRITER except the glare off my bald head might strain their eyes. ;)



I can't believe I missed this a year ago. Thank you so much!

Quote by ChuckEPoo
There have been so many mods that have interacted with me and gave me advice and even one that cut me down to size. Which I'm grateful for. You know who you are. Learning to not only listen to others opinions but respect them, even if I don't agree.

Nympwriter, Milk Redman, Lisa, Sprite (and her humor), Raven star, Dancing Doll, Sweet as candy, DanielleX, Buz, avrgblkgrl, Callisto, Poppet, ruthie, so many more. It is all possible because of Nicola.


Thank you Chuck! That made me smile!

Quote by Peri
OMG so much flattery... I too wanna become a mod please, please hehehe.... Even a Deputy Mod will do please, lol....
Well umm frankly, my initial experience with mods is not worth mentioning. I took them as stalkers or police.... but later I realized that they're here to guide me and they're also like me and that they're also not foolproof, so I relaxed. And later when I got some of the mods as friends I started loving them.
Ok coming over to my favorite mod.... I think my favorite mod should be more of a human than a robot.... more of a friend than a boss.... more of a teacher than a catcher....and above all without any prejudice... omg what I'm doing lol.....
Alright, I've found KatieElizabeth and NymphWriter very loving and considerate mods.... smile

PS: Mods who wish to to be highlighted and praised here, can contact me anytime..... service will be free, which imply no fee if you respond within five minutes after reading this.... hehehe :P


Thank you Peri!

I never expected to see my name in this thread, but to see it three times from three amazing authors... really touches my heart. Thank you all.
