Tonya, PLEASE take it easy and let someone else do the heavy lifting for a few weeks. Get better.

Not much to report here. Layla is sick, garden variety cold. Youngest daughter is hopelessly in love. And I actually like the kid. He's smart and funny and kind.

Carl, thanks for the Bertha set-up. It's about time men got involved in the morning coffee ritual (not me though, I was banned for adding a little dirt to the grounds).

A LARGE cuppa coffee please.



just made my day. seriously. smile also, give Layla my regards and well wishes and you'd better be taking good care of her! don't make me come over there!

Quote by browncoffee

Does that mean I still gotta go stand in the corner until you tell me otherwise?


yep. and the more times you ask, the longer it's gonna be.

As the poster of this thread i have asked that it be removed. It was simply asked as a genuine question, not to cause any rifts here. Dave


yeah, we don't actually do that except in extreme cases. not really fair to erase everyone else's thoughts because someone has second thoughts on a subject.

Foof.


oh, right, it's a 'where' question. fuck. try this again...

kitchen.

did i get it right?
she looks tasty, so yeah, i would. probably get smacked for it, but really, i'm kinda into that. ;)

I am working on my next story, and I am thinking I may want to include a little contextual note in this box on the submission form, possibly along with a philosophical question the story may prompt with some readers. I would like to know what the text in this box looks like when the story is published, but I haven't been able to find a story where this feature was used. Can anyone point me to such a published story?

Steve

I know better, but damned if I don't do it anyway. Stepping out into the light and expressing a comment to a post never ends well, no matter how respectful and courteous you try to be.

I don't care who gets an RR or who doesn't Sprite. It's never been on my list of high concerns. Respect is, however.

Be well.


you have to understand, my inbox is constantly flooded with these kind of comments/complaints/etc. and i always try to be respectful in answering. that doesn't mean what that the PMs are respectful. many are very rude, to put it mildly. after doing this for as long as i have been, my patience sometimes grows thin, especially with themes that are constantly repeated. The RRs are a constantly repeated theme and one that i have grown tired of explaining over and over, knowing that my words fall on deaf ears.

respectfully yours,
sprite

Greetings to all who wonder while they wander into this toxic waste dump on the Lush landscape.

Glad I am to hear that Gill and Sara are either cured or doing much mo'better. Tonya, take it easy, you hear me young lady? Any more of this 'over doing it' nonsense and Fuzzy and I will be compelled to stop by your place and teach you how to shirk work, dodge duty, lay-about, dog a job, and other skills we honed in the military. ;)

BTW #1. Did anyone else notice how Sprite came draggin up right after Curvy began her labors on Big Bertha. Just a coincidence, no doubt, still... .
BTW #2 Any news on the contest front? There's a rumor going around that this one will have a theme of Monster/tentacle ravishment of buxom lasses and burly lads. (Well, okay, it might be going around now that I started it.)
BTW #3 Laura's new story 'Tonight' is most definitely five-worthy. Check it out.

Me, I'm about to refill my 'Deep Hole Fluids Injectors' mug with Big Bertha's brew. Anybody else need a refill or a start-up?



new contest is going to be a year long one in which you are required to write a novel length story - 500,000-600,000 words in the style of Herman Melville. it must include the following: a sentient lizard, a travelling dildo salesman, a one armed pizza delivery boy, and a woman dressed in a dog-costume.

Hey Rachel, sure a sponge bath would be lovely. Just please make sure your wife and mistress do not get upset.


As long as i ask permission first it won't be an issue. i'll still probably get spanked, but i don't really mind so much. ;)
i'll have something strong and keep them coming, please.

I don't tan as I'm pale and fry(burn) easily under the sun.

You're high if you're going to Bible study. When are you gonna change your avatar back to that super hot coffee guy??




ps. it's my unbirthday. so WHERE THE HELL IS MY PRESENT?
Quote by Warlock


I was trying to keep it humorous. Actually, mathematically probably a true statement given the totality of membership. However, the odds do change when you take only those members who have received RR's and apply the ratio. There is a member here who has posted 49 stories, 40 of which were given RR's and EC's. Tic-Tac anyone?


maybe, just maybe, they are a damn good writer. it's possible, you know. i, myself, have a bunch. could be i am just a damn good writer. could be i slip all the mods cash when no ones looking to pump up my ego. could be they're just scared of me. i actually have the power to rescind all of those awards. if it will make you feel better, i'd be happy to do so just so no one thinks there is any favoritism going on. just let me know and i'll make it happen.
Quote by Warlock



This in no way is intended to diminish the ability of any author here on Lush (or the other site). This is a commentary on process only.

The quality of a story is a subjective determination in the eyes of the reader. Since an RR is not determined by a committee, that means it is also a singularly subjective award.

There are many good writers here on Lush. Some are great writers. Most of them don't get any recognition at all, certainly nowhere near 82% of everything they post. So can you really say "quality" is the only consideration in giving an RR?

A reasonable person would think not.


*shrugs* we've gone through all this a few times. not sure what your point is, but you would have to admit it sounds like griping. as i've said every time. feel free to PM me a list of stories/writers that you think are deserving of an RR and i'll be happy to take a look when i have time. i may agree with you, i may not. personally, i make a point not to hand out RRs to the obvious people and give them to people who i feel fly under the radar. often, eventually those people get to be better known and end up with several RRs and/or EPs and suddenly people are like 'why does so and so have so many awards' at which point i start to think, if people are going to keep bitching about it, how about we just stop doing it altogether, because, obviously, no matter what we do, we can't make everyone happy.

so there you go. not writing this in a defensive manner, nor am i attacking you or anyone else posting opinions in this thread. just telling it as i see it.
Quote by Dave69Fan

Hi, thanks for the reply. But really, that's it, just based on one mod's opinion, if he/she likes it ?. Doesn't really add up to that much then !?.


if you re-read my post, it actually uses the word "exceptional". i like a lot of stories that aren't exceptional. i haven't given any of those an RR.
Quote by Jen


Also, Sprite thinks I have a crush on him. I probably do, lol. I defy anyone to read this and not fall a little in love


*nods* she mumbles lines from his poems in her sleep. it's kind of cute, actually.
Quote by calx86
Sounds intriguing. Maybe someday with practice, I'll be awarded an RR heart


Just keep writing. like anything else, you get better and better with practice. smile
Quote by Green_Man


The simplest answer would be that the moderator who verified and approved the story also rewarded it a Recommended Read. It's not really a mystery.

Edit: Oops, sorry Didn't mean to step on your toes, Sprite.


go stand in the corner with your nose against the wall until i tell you otherwise, you very very bad man.
Quote by Dave69Fan
Not a complaint, just asking. Why is it that some stories receive a "Recommended Read" tag, the instant that it gets posted here?.


an RR is an award handed out by one of the story mods for a story they think is exceptional and deserves a little extra attention - it's posted as such because it's normally handed out when the mod vets the story.
Quote by TonyaL


I had surgery on Thursday for a torn meniscus. It's a process to heal but will get through it. I have a few more things to get through but one day at a time. Glad to see so many people celebrating St. Patrick's Day and more importantly Bill's bday.


let me know if you need a sponge bath. got the perfect outfit for it. *waggles eyebrows* hope you're resting up and healing, Ms Tonya.
Quote by TraceEkies

You're right! It's three now!




aww, thanks for that Trace. you just made my day.
Quote by Green_Man


It's a shame not to see more from you, Rach, but I really look forward to the competitions, mainly because they bring so many talented and interesting folks out and displaying their work. That's one reason why we have so many outstanding and interesting folks gathering here in the Awesome Bar now. It's great.


she did kind of bully me into writing for the June one when it rolls out, so maybe then. also, i do have some things going, they're just not ready to get published yet and it might be a while before they are. and thanks for that, Larry. nice to know not everyone has forgotten that i write. lol smile
