The female characters in my first few stories have been fresh out of the box 18-22 year olds. If I'm honest, I think I'm just being lazy. That nubile innocence taps into some primal, almost predatory urge to grunt and fuck things.
At the risk of sounding naff, I find the journey of sexual exploration of a woman in her 20s the most interesting, and arousing. She's striking out on her own, trying things for herself, and the possibilities are endless. It's everything from waiting for that one, perfect love, to waiting at the docks for the fleet to come in. Although, that Gen Y arrogance does shit me so.
But hold a gun to my head, it's women in their 30s that I enjoy the most. Being around 40 myself, I can obviously relate better. They're still physically beautiful, if not at their peak, but it's the emotional maturity that gets me. Generally, they know who they are, they know what they want, and they're comfortable with themselves. That's what makes them the sexiest, at least for me.

How awesome is The Walking Dead?! It's like digital crack. The whole time, I'm constantly thinking, what would I do? I just love it.
My favourite character is Darryl. Gotta love those mountain folk when they're working for you.
Lori's the one I'd stab in the brain, even if there wasn't a zombie apocalypse. What a fucking mole!
My most memorable scene was when Shane and that guy from the farm were trapped in the school, and Shane shot him in the leg so he could get away. Such a cunt move.
The most shocking moment for me was probably when the Governor went bat shit crazy and shot his own people after the failed raid on the prison. It totally caught me off guard.
And my favourite season has to be Season 4. Just like the best episode is the next episode. I need it more than air!

I've kicked off with a few stories, and for some reason, there's plenty more in the pipe. I'll probably feed the beast and try and get them out of my system.
But in the meantime, I'm desperate not to be typecast as a one trick pony, so my next story is pretty mainstream, albeit a bit hardcore. And I'll follow that up with a BDSM. I want to build up a fairly balanced spread of work, then hopefully shake out a novel with some commercial appeal.

As a reader, I prefer first-person. It gets me closer to the story, like I'm being told by someone who was actually there. For me, third-person, while still enjoyable, puts me too far outside the story, and I can't get into it as much. It's like I'm watching it, rather than reliving it with the storyteller.
The second-person narrative, or whatever we decide Dancing_Doll's Hard Candy is, can work really well, because I can easily slot myself into the male character, whether it's the "I" or "you" in the story. I just have to be able to relate to the characters somehow.
As a writer, I find the first-person and second-person narrative easier to write, because I'm in it, and can write it subjectively. Detached objectivity is such a pain in the ass.

A brief Google search seems to indicate that "another think coming" is in fact correct. It is the original form of the colloquial phrase aimed at someone who has a mistaken view. It comes from the old comical expression, "If that’s what you think, you’ve got another think coming."
It quite obviously should be "another thought coming." It's just bad grammar, like those jackasses who say, who would have thunk it?"
For me, it's always been "another thing coming" - that thing being a clip around the ear. "If you think you're not going to eat your vegetables, you've got another thing coming."

As a reader, the reason I don't vote or leave a comment is that I'm either too busy looking for the next story that's going to get me there, or I'm trying to clean up and delete my browser history. Come on, let's be honest!
But as an author, I desperately crave the feedback. I can't get enough. And in the interests of reaping what you sow, I'm making the effort to vote and leave comments on the stories of others, starting with my friends and their favourites.
I've found Lush to be a bit of a love-fest, which is all very nice and supportive, and great for encouraging you to keep going. But in terms of helping you grow as an author, I don't think it's necessarily that helpful. How many people do you see on American Idol auditions who have clearly never been told they can't sing?
I vote according to the descriptors. I give a 5 for an excellent story that's well written and has no substantial flaws. I vote 4 for a good story, that might be lacking in one significant area, like a clumsy set up, no character development, a few too many typos etc. A 3 is for an average story, that's still good, but a bit shabby overall and could do with some more work. I haven't yet voted a 2, which is still classed as fair, for those stories that are really only good for getting teenage boys off. And I'm saving 1, or poor, for those that I really can't get through, or regret that I did.
I put a lot of effort into my comments to try and make them as constructive as possible. I highlight what I liked and thought worked well. And if applicable, I point out what might be improved as sensitively as I can. I do it publically, so that other authors can benefit from that feedback. That also keeps me honest, because my name's to it and there's no shortage of people out there who'll stomp on me if I'm out of line.
I think if you're too sensitive to take constructive criticism, turn off the comments on your stories. And if you're too much of an ass to make your feedback constructive, wake up to yourself and go help your mother fold your laundry.
Then again, opinions are like assholes, everyone's got one.
