Removing my swimsuit and splashing in.

Quote by JenMy "Nude Beach Lesbians" story still has the white space issue.There was a rollout today to address the word count and blank space issue. Please let me know if there are still issues with it, other than the usual discrepancies that always exist in counters around the treatment of some special characters and page dividers etc.
Quote by JenJust a quickie related to this - I have 16 pages of stories, and currently you have to click through them one page at a time to get to the end. It would be helpful to be able to scroll through them all on one page.Quote by LucaByDesignAnd I've just submitted a story too — and it did not seem like before.
I usually get a message saying it has been submitted and is waiting to be verified. As far as I can see, it has completely vanished!
It's in the queue fine. Stories awaiting verification usually drop to the bottom of your published list awaiting a published date, at which point they will return to the top. Check on page 8 and it will hopefully be there
For what it's worth, I've written a new "Microfiction" piece called "Forest Encounter", just to keep my creative juices flowing. You might like to give it a look if you've 60 seconds to spare.
It's so annoying that you can't choose any more which stories you have on your main profile page. I used to move any story that was approaching 30,000 hits to the front page, to help give it a final push. But poor old "Putting A Spin On It" is now stuck down somewhere around page 10 of my "Stories" list, where no-one will ever find it. It's still on "29.2k", whatever that means, and seems unlikely ever to get the last 800 hits it needs to become "famous". 😢 One less reason for me to visit "Lush", I'm afraid.
Quote by RejectRealityThanks for your comment. It's interesting (but sad) to hear that your story views plummeted so much - I know you kept such careful stats, and I always enjoyed your analyses of how they were getting on. I suspect mine are the same, though foolishly I didn't do a snapshot just before #OldLush went offline.Well, whadda ya know. I knew that I had a couple ( surviving ) on the score lists, but didn't know Double Dip actually made the views list. Thanks for collecting the stats.
Too bad it and the popular lists are now gone. My views nosedived so hard they hit like the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs.
I keep poking my head in, but I don't see myself posting any new stories unless I happen to finish something that I plan to post somewhere else as well. No motivation for the short Lush-exclusive quickies when the time on page 1 is so short and there's no potential for long-term viewership without those lists. Feels like tossing them into the void and working twice as hard to do it.
The long-term potential of my stories is one of the reasons I used to enjoy coming back over the years. I'm still hopeful that the right changes will be made to return us to something like the old place, but I'm nervous that it won't be enough.
