Another point to add to what Sprite said is that only one chapter may be posted each day. This being the case, you will have to wait for each one to be approved and posted before submitting the next one or they would be out of order if there were edits to do on a chapter.
I loved the Canadian coach giving a Russian a ski to replace his broken one so that he could finish his event with dignity. That is sportsmanship.
I don't want to annoy the Americans here, but the comeback of the Canadian women in hockey was inspiring. They never gave up. It was a true demonstration of grit and heart.

From "Out for Dinner", an earlier effort written with Alphmagus, and still a favourite story of mine.
This is written just as a reminder for all Lush writers. Titles of stories and poems should never be formatted in all caps. Please format them normally. As well, there is no reason to repeat the title and name of the author within the body of your story. If you are cutting and pasting from Word or some other program to submit, please take the time to remove this from the beginning of your story.
I agree with the above advice. Perhaps you can take the time to read some of the stories on the site that have been awarded an Editor's Pick. They will give you an idea of how some of the best writers here introduce and describe their characters.
I think that many people will agree that they do not like reading what has come to be called a"laundry list" of character attributes, e.g. John was tall, dark, and handsome with washboard abs and hazel eyes. Mary was petite, brunette, had 34C breasts, narrow hips and green eyes.
You can find ways to work the description of your characters' looks and personalities within your story.
To the idiot who woke me at 2:45 am and did not apologize for the wrong number: Your number is on my call display. Perhaps I will call you back at a similar time to say hello.
The rules for cover images at the top of stories are the same as those for avatars. No hardcore shots, closeups of genitals, or photos depicting insertion are permitted. This list is not exhaustive. Moderators retain the right to remove images deemed unsuitable for this site.
If a story can be approved but the image is not permitted, the story moderator will remove the image, approve the story, and send a note to the author to let them know their image wasn't suitable.

George Clooney or Brad Pitt? (or for those of a different persuasion, Angelina Jolie or Scarlett Johannson?)
beagles
mountains or seashore?
I find this an interesting question as I have co-written with two men now. People reading the stories have said that the writing is seamless and that they could not tell which parts were written by each of us. While I understand that men and women may bring different sensibilities to writing, it is possible to speak to everyone without it being specifically a male or female voice.
Florida has a lot to answer for. It has a history of racially charged cases and incidents that would rival Mississippi or Alabama for overt and blatant racism. There is the part Florida played in Bush's election. There is the Anthony case and now this. What is it about the American south?
Leaving well enough alone. I want to keep editing, looking for repetitive words, finding just the right ones to express what I want to say. Wanting precision can be a curse as well as an asset.
