Thanks for clearing that up for me Gypsy and Gav.
Not sure if it's changed since then Rocco, but I remember that when I wrote my Pics For Jebru stories I wanted them linked so that there would be a link at the end of chapter one, to take you to chapter two. I think that's what Sassy is asking about. You don't really want someone to go back to chapter one from chapter two, so when you submit chapter two, you have to go back and add in the link to the first chapter. Is it still ok to edit a story for that reason? Or is there a way to do that without putting the story back through the editors?
Sounds interesting. I know I'll forget about it by then, so hopefully you will be posting some samples on zafia when they are available. lol
I haven't yet as far as I know. Because I show my face, people who know me would recognize me right away, but I'm not really worried about what they would think of me. They would have to be here in the first place to find me, so kind of hypocritical of them if they are judging me for being here.
The general rule in the past has been, you can say the age, but don't be descriptive/graphic with your explanation. If that has changed, let's here it from a mod, not a random member.
An old friend of mine is really in to astrology, so gave me my profile a long time ago. I laughed at some of it, but some of it is surprisingly accurate. It also looks at the foods and nutrients you like and need. This is something I had never thought about before, but being born at different times of the year (traditionally and to some extent still today) would mean exposure to different types of foods in the womb depending on what was in season. That has to have some affect on your body and what it needs in the future. I would definitely never use it to determine a mate, but I think there is more than a little logic behind it.
Germs can kill you, I believe that, so I don't think it's just a media brainwash. But at the same time, I think we as a society are weakening our immune systems. If we use anti-bacterial soap, and anti-bacterial wipes after everything, our bodies will lose their ability to fight bacteria, and we will be more susceptible to germs. Also, with greater exposure to anti-bacterial sprays, etc, the bacteria develops resistances and becomes stronger as well. When I cook just for myself I am not very worried about cross contamination, but I do respect others, so I am far more careful when someone else will be eating the food too. I've used the same bowl to mix my eggs and milk as I used to have my cooked scrambled eggs in later. And that didn't make me sick. Maybe I get lucky, but I continue to believe that my immune system is better for me not being quite so careful.
Since there are story listings on the main page, I don't see it being as necessary for that, but I do think it is a good way to promote the people here on this site. This has become a social networking site, so it makes sense that the people of the site other than writers get a mention. There are many people who contribute a lot to this site without ever writing a story; whether as readers, in the forums, or even just chatting, helping to make lush the community it is. Those people deserve to be recognized too.
