I'm silent, but I've always been on my own, so I don't know if being with somebody else would make a difference.
I'm still trying to work out how I score the stories I read.
Is it based on the writer's ability to put me into the situation? Do poor grammar/comprehension/annoying writing styles bring it down one or two points? Is it a good use of descriptive words, or the ability to shape their characters so I can "see" them in my head? Is it purely a scientific launch into, "and this is what they did when they shagged"? Sometimes I think a story is a bit crap, but the writer has obviously spent time and effort into it, for which I mark them higher. Sometimes the story is wonderful, but characters or certain words used make me cringe and I struggle to read it, for which I have to find some kind of balance in my scoring.
I also try to leave a comment to explain, without being too critical or gushing. Sometimes I simply score because I cannot put it into words. I don't mark down for the category it is in, I try to avoid those altogether.
How do you mark stories you score? What do you take into account or dismiss? What makes you mark lower or higher?
I like any lad who is kind to me. His skin tone means nothing to me.
No, I absolutely freak when people try and start it with me. It's not at all what I am comfortable with or wanting. Quite often people start off by asking me questions which I am happy to answer, and then suddenly there is a point where I realise things are not a simple question-answer session and I am panicking because it is clear they were leading me furtively into something else.
I wish people would read my profile before chatting with me without me having to put things at the top like, "NO CYBERING - BOG OFF IF YOU WANT TO CYBER". Some of them see me as a "challenge", trying to "teach" me how to be comfortable with it. It's one of the main reasons why I hardly ever appear as "online".
The closest I got to getting horny whilst sitting on a container of sorts was whilst I was sitting on a seatbox staring at a very sexy fisherman who was offering me chocolate. But he didn't have a duffle bag. He did have a duffle coat, but he wasn't wearing it at the time.
Normally I get the one idea, mull it over to get my setting for a day or so, and then sit and just write it in two or more hours.
At the moment, though, my creativity fell out somewhere and I am partway through writing one story with one sapling and one seedling growing stronger. I just can't motivate myself to write, I have to wait for the mood to strike. It will annoy me if I go on to one of the others before I have finished that last one.
