Actually I'm not usually interested in those categories you mentioned that female readers go for in a big way. If I do read a story in any of those categories its despite the subject matter and because they are written by an author that I love to read, regardless of their avatar or gender.
Which brings us back to what all the authors are saying about writing from the heart, and practicing and experimenting with genres.
sigh
He can write from his heart, but if his heart tells him to write gay male fiction and he thinks that it's going to get a lot of female readers he'll be proved wrong. I've just laid out the bald facts of what women TEND to go for here. Not all women. Not you. A majority of women.
Obviously, you read on past experience, a lot of people do - myself included - but unless he writes in a category you're going to read without knowing who he is, he's already got barriers he's going to struggle to get over no matter how good a writer he is.
I actually agree with the authors, people should write whatever you feels good for them - however, in this case - he's, what is known as "targeting a demographic". If you want to do that you have to write from the head as well as the heart.

I take it you're not on a course of Lithium at the moment.
Ditch alcohol, caffeine, sugar and any non-prescription drugs. Sleep whenever you can. Walk at least 6 miles a day, preferably in daylight. Limit your time online.

was that an oh or a zero? really, it makes a difference. i'll expect an answer before night fall. that is all.
definitely a zero
It could be a binary thing or an appreciation of all things "zero". Or maybe it was the start of a maths debate (hoho) on whether zero is a number (it is).
Maybe it's just nothing

The category you write in can have an effect on the numbers of women reading your stuff. I did this research a couple of years back so may have changed.
The big ones to go for female readers are: Supernatural, BDSM, Love Poems, Lesbian and Love Stories
Categories to avoid: Mature, Wife Lovers*, Milf, Trans and Cross Dressing
*Wife Lovers is very popular among men but also with women over 35 - its low female interest is down to hardly any women under 35 being interested in it.
Incidently, changing your av to the face of an attractive young women could increase your votes/comments by 30%

I think I shouldn't reply anymore.
It's probably for the best. At the moment it looks like you're getting ever closer to saying "actually, it's about ethics in games journalism"

Buddy, read my elaborated arguments against feminism and take your shot.
I have, and they're not particularly enlightening. You say that feminism is flawed because some feminists hold extreme views (personally I wouldn't say these people are feminists, I'd call them misandrists). Using your logic conservatives are just moderate fascists and liberals are just moderate communists.
You talk of collectivism as if being a woman is somehow a life choice. You seem to be able to grasp the need for everyone to be treated on a basis that ignores gender but you seem to be blind to the fact that systematic inequalities exist.
You seem to like flipping arguments so let's flip one of yours...
You say - "Demanding an individual to be given opportunity, attention and regard solely based on gender is not rational."
I would say - "Denying an individual opportunity, attention and regard solely based on gender is not rational"
Most level headed people would say that feminism has more to do with the second statement than it does with the first.

Woah. So I'm not a feminist, I must hate women. Wonderful.
What you've done there is what's known as a False Dilemma. Attacking binary thought like this is one of the great things about feminism.

I have been using one band and type of condom forever (Okamoto Platinum) but the girl I am seeing right now has these pleasure for her ribbed condoms.
Does the texture condoms make a difference? Does it enhance the pleasure?
Why not wear them inside out so they're ribbed for your pleasure instead

If you click on the 3 horizontal white lines in the top left, you should see a desktop link there. Let me know if you have any problems. A few people had this issue, which is why we added the second link.
Also, the mobile version of Chrome has the very useful "Request desktop site" feature which overrides the redirect to the mobile site

So I'm curious...
Your in a bar, and want to get lucky tonight. You look around for a gal (or guy if that's your thing) to try and chat up. There are three woman at the bar.
A slutty girl/boy, clearly easy, pretty much a sure thing.
A classy woman/man, you're gonna have to try hard with this one.
A gal/bloke somewhere in the middle, can't really tell if their a slut or not.
Who do you offer a drink?
So we're purely going on how they look in this bar situation.
It would have to be the woman in the middle ground as she would be the only one - from sight - to be comfortable with herself. The classy one is uncomfortable with the situation and given the responses so far she'd be right to feel that way as she's going to be batting off unwanted attention all evening.
The "slut" is obviously compensating for something. Approach her if you must but don't be surprised if she has her arms around someone else's neck when you come back from the toilet.
To be honest, if they are together I won't be approaching any of them. Three women who are so externally diverse have either been friends for a hell of a long time or they're related. Either way, if I don't get signals informing me otherwise, approaching any of them isn't going to add anything to their evening.

There are 16 different personality types on the system - each with an average of 6.25%
Given that, you can't really class anything near 6.25% as "rare".

How about meet two Lushies at the same time maybe?
I've been lucky enough to meet two lushies at once. Sadly (for me) just for a drink not for sex, but had a fun time.

Hello. I am an older submissive at 54 seeking an older ( preferably at least 40) experienced online Master/Mentor. I am considered to be sexy, fun and energetic. I weigh about 125 pounds, blue eyes, 5'6 athletic and in good shape. I love the outdoors, photography, riding horses and camping.

I seek a Master who wants and desires only ONE sub as I do not share. A Dom who is a REAL Dom, and if you are a real Dom you know what I mean by that statement. Not a player, switch or she male. I do not play with other females. I am strictly one on one.

Quote by VanGogh
To write flash fiction well, one has to be very selective about the word choice and how to convey much without using lots of filling .... but being sparse is entirely different and doesn't make that cut. To me, flash is similar to a well written poem - convey not just the scene, but evoke an emotion. That's a winner!
The disappointing thing in my opinion about the stories appearing in the FE category is they just seem to be shortened stories; as if the author has seen it as a challenge to write a normal story that limboes in under 1000 words. For me the challenge is to come with a piece of stand alone erotica rather than something that has to "make sense".
We do seem to have an increase of authors coming in and immediately starting multi-chapter works. I wonder if many of them have come from a rival site and think this is the best way to start without actually developing interest in their writing through stand-alone stories.

A kind soul sent me this link: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nikon-D5300-Digital-18-55mm-Compact/dp/B00I3M6BVY/
I'm leaning towards a Nikon, although you seem to get a lot of camera for your money with Canons too.
To be fair, they've both led the market from day one.
What sort of zoom are you looking for? That lens will give you the equivalent of 3x zoom, which for most photography is fine but if you already have a compact with 20x or more optical zoom you might find 3x a bit limiting especially if you want to get into wildlife or sports photography, or you fancy becoming a paparazzo

It looks like my budget restricts me to entry level cameras: http://www.cnet.com/uk/topics/cameras/best-digital-cameras/dslr-for-beginners/
It might be better buying a second hand mid-range one instead, although you don't get any guarantees it isn't faulty.
Most of the Nikons on that list don't have an AF motor built in - they rely on one in the lens if you want that function. (You want that function)
This looks pretty good... Link

I'd strongly recommend something from the Nikon range. I've had my D80 for years now and I love it. I've had three Canon compacts but find their DSLRs too fiddly in my hands. The grip on it feels far too small but that might make it perfect for people with smaller hands.
Buying the body and lens separately will probably prove better in the long run. Most Nikon's come with an 18-55mm lens which you'll soon find limiting. I have an 18-130mm lens on mine which has proven to a great all-rounder for me. You don't want to be swapping lenses on a DSLR because getting dust off your sensor is a pain in the arse. The slightly larger all glass lens can make it a bit weighty to carry around all day so that's another thing you might want to consider.
Go somewhere you can pick them up and play with them. Canon or Nikon - if it feels right, it probably is right.

The id is a powerful thing and can make us do and say pretty stupid things if we let it.
This man isn't tapping into his repressed caveman - he's blaming women for all the shit in his life. "Wouldn't it be easier if i just took what i wanted?" - no shit. Trouble is, there's always going to be a bigger caveman around the next corner who wants what you've just taken - and guess what he's going to do to you to get it.
Current debates about " culture" and other forms of misogyny can sometimes derail the fact many men have thoughts like this and it's nothing to do with society or how they were brought up - horrifyingly it seems to be innate. What culture does allow is for this guy to somehow work out some fucked up way of justifying his dangerous urges.
