I like the idea of the Kinsey scale, but I don't think it captures the reality of human sexuality. I reckon that some people can identify with one of those seven statements, or see themselves fitting somewhere between two of them, but there are definitely a lot of people who could not define their sexuality in this way, even if the scale were a continuum. It's much more complex than that, in my experience.

If I did subscribe to the Kinsey scale theory, I guess I most closely identify with number 2 (although I'm not quite sure what "incidentally homosexual" really means). But still, I don't think it really reflects the reality of my sexuality.

My guess would be that the majority of people can't sum up their sexuality in just a few short words. Nor should they have to. We should just enjoy our sexuality without having to define it in anyone's terms but our own. I'm learning that for myself now after a period of trying to fit into some preset mould.
I'm really sad to hear this. I hope your future experiences in Lush will be more positive and you meet lots of wonderful, friendly, caring people like I have.

Dunno what mine's about. Maybe 'cause I have red hair?

'Seductress' makes me sound like a big flirt, and I don't flirt with anyone.

Weird.

Dani: "That's a joke, right?"

Me: "Whaddya mean?"

Dani: "You flirt with everyone! You're the biggest tart on the mod team."

Me: "Ahem." *points at Clum*

Dani: "Okay, second biggest."



I know seeing my stories posted elsewhere without my permission and without being credited should get me all up in arms, but it just doesn't.

About half of my stories have been stolen at one point or another, but I just find it so hard to care. And I know it's me that's the unusual one here—you guys are all absolutely right to be pissed off and to go hunting down these assholes.

*shrugs*

Best of luck to you all.
Mine is derived from a Culture Club-related pun made by Lush's resident drunk after I started posting grammar tips.

we have stories here?


I always wondered about the name. Thought it was just another of Nicola's "quirks" I didn't quite get.

I assume there's some vote total bar where that kicks in, then. I have all sorts of stories with lesser vote totals ( and stories in the process of accumulating votes on day-1 ) where the first score below 5 certainly changed the score.


Well, 5% only equates to a whole vote once you hit 20 votes. So... 20.

Bug/Oversight/Too much work for something unimportant?



That math doesn't work. Even a single 4 should knock the average down to 4.99.

I'm guessing that the 4 was removed because it was cast by someone discovered to have a questionable voting pattern at some point in the past. The bar graph still displays it, though.


The scores are adjusted such that the top 5% and bottom 5% of scores are disregarded.

So, in this case, as long as there are no more than three votes of 4, the score will remain a perfect 5.
My username is the same as here, Clum.

I've got a few pieces of work up there, and hope to build my collection.

It's a great site, nice and chill, with some tremendous authors. You'll find quite a few familiar faces, too.

No one's interested in your plot to take over the world 'One equation at a time,' Callum.

Just let it go.


You'll see. You'll all see!
Hmm...

1. I joke about it a lot, but I actually have a mild phobia of pirates.

2. I've only ever had a crush on one of my teachers, and it was a man.

3. In high school, I had to be talked out of taking Dance instead of Physics.
I had the same issue a few days ago, but it was working yesterday so I assumed it had resolved itself. Apparently not.

We could, but we would only hand out 11 legendary badges. Less actually, because LauraLee has more than one. Getting to ten thousand views is a Herculean task for a poem on this site.


I see no problem with that.
Quote by Haineko
And to keep going with this theme 5,000 can be a legendary poem if they want to add that as well


How about 3000 and 10000, so it's scaled down directly from the Famous/Legendary Story requirements?
Quote by Poppet
That is fair, but I can also say audios is not a genre, but it has it's own tab, for easy finding. Hence people suggesting a tab for collaborations.
Either way is fine by me, but I think it would be kind of nice to have a tab for them.


Fair point. I guess there is a tab for audios because people go specifically looking for those. Do people come on specifically looking for collaboratively written stories? (Genuine question; I don't know).
