Part of the reason I gave up being a moderator was that I could not correct all the grammatical errors that I encountered and I felt bad returning some stories to their authors. Along with spelling mistakes and bad editing, story verification was becoming a big job. My advice to authors is to have a broad minded friend or relative read your poem or story. Sometimes a fresh perspective can pinpoint problems that you missed. Failing that, please spend some time editing - it makes all the difference.

First of all, when guys have a wank they can't multitask. Our other hand is curled into a useless fist usually clutching a pillow or something else that reminds us of our absent beloved. Also; we can't speak, we can't see, we can't breathe, we can't think rationally, if fact we're not much use for anything until it's all over - only then do we start thinking about cleaning up.

I must agree with Sholom, The Count of Monte Cristo is excellent. By the end of it you feel like you've known the characters for years and that you've become a part of their lives and they, a part of yours.
For something totally different try reading one of Ann Radcliffe's beautifully written Regency era books. Radcliffe was the best selling author of her day and influenced contemporaries such as Herman Melville, the Brontes and Jane Austen. 'The Mysteries of Udolpho' (1794) in particular is her masterpiece. It is the supreme gothic masterwork and the great, great grand daddy of everything that followed it by Mr Stoker, Ms Rice, Ms Rowling and Ms Meyer.

Oh yeah. This was on my bucket list even before bucket lists were invented. It was a VHS copy, of a copy, of a copy of a Traci Lords film the title of which now escapes me.
She : "So we're going to do all the stuff in this movie?"
Me: "Oh yeah babe."
She: "While it's playing.?"
Me: "Mmmmm..."
She: "My, you're so kinky!"
...Well, it was the early 80s.

Let me once again express my eternal gratitude to Dirty Martini for recruiting, yes recruiting me to Lush back in 2009. He had another name back then; something photographic. You were right DM - this site rocks!

In this era of suit and counter suit, thrust and parry, we have lost the art of detached indifference aka the cold shoulder. If anyone contacts you with issues as trite as some of the ones broached above, just ignore them. Life is too short; live and let live people.
And while we're on the subject of profiles. How do I get myself 'interviewed'? Such Lush luminaries as Dancing_Doll, Buz and the great NatureBoy have interviews on their personal info column - all of which I've enjoyed reading. I want one too !

Personally I couldn't care less about votes and I hardly look at them. However I do care about comments and I appreciate constructive criticism most of all. I wish more of us here would take the time via PM to offer constructive crit.
I must admit there have been a few times when I've read stories and poems that I was unable to finish due to their poor quality or due to the lack of editing on the part of the author. I find it really hard to read poems that totally lack punctuation, for instance, or that show little attention to form and flow. Just as in music - there is music and there is noise.
When I was a moderator/story verifier, I was constantly correcting people's spelling, grammar and punctuation. I even sent pieces back because of the total lack of quality. These days I will not give a score or leave a comment on anything that I don't think deserves a four or a five. I don't want to hurt people's feelings but I wish authors would take the time to edit their work and show some respect for the basic rules of the English language.
