If I am not mistaken anyone can change their score on a story by going to the upper right of the first page, directly under the author's username, where it says "score" and if you click on the "change" word right under that you are allowed to change your score. I have done that in the past.
At least, it works to change a score upward. I'm not sure about using it to lower a score. I've not done that.
i'll go test it on one of yours and let you know.

Morning everyone!
Looks like Hannah, Lyfbuz and Sprite are going yachting. That should be some party!
Jim, I didn't even see your thread, sorry! I'm a bit like Sprite at the mo (apart from being not blonde, not American and not scary, erm, I mean not impressive! ;) I just seem to pop on to get through the story queue, but if I do have a mo, I'll take a look at a story of yours, for extra feedback.
Hugs to the barkeep as that's not a nice procedure. Hope you are okay.
Definitely coffee time here. Shall I crank up Big Bertha? *rolls up sleeves*
i am not scary! am i?

I have vacancies for one (1) sweet dream and one (1) beautiful nightmare. Please submit applications in a timely manner.
Also, I got invited to an evening on a yacht next month because that's just how I roll. Lol no this NEVER HAPPENS TO ME. I think the guy intends to sell software to me but it's free so I'm so going. I will have to act cool but I'm SO EXCITED!!! *faints* I think I must buy a new dress.
Lemönade, please. With a cocktail umbrella since I am now like wealthy or something.
i'm invited, right...?

Thanks Sprite. I actually was asking for people to look at my work as a whole. It just happens that there are some from that cat. I was asking for help and advise from any writers about all the stories. But it is done and over with now. I am trying to move on and get back to feeling like writing. After all I do have a boat to pay for some day.
make you a deal - pick one that you especially want feed back on and i'll put it on my list and see if i can give it a read and send feedback sometime within the next 7 days or so.
edit: i am assuming you want the pro critic and not the 'oh, nice story, got me wet' one, so warning you right now, if you're thin skinned, you might not enjoy this.

It's okay. Thanks for your comments. I will find a way to put that behind me. I just wanted to get it out. I do find it funny that one of the people bashing my category is now on my friend list and trying to talk to me. I think people have to look at it a different way on all the sites. I write from a fantasy point of view. I am not doing any of things just describing them. No different than describing sex with anyone else, just happens to be family in the story. It is a cat that gets under peoples skin and makes them think. I was always taught to get out of our comfort zones and write something we would not normally or believe in. If we can make that story believable to people then we have accomplished something.
As for talking to Nicola or Sprite, I did mention it to Sprite and she was not to concerned about it. She also has written in that category and it was ok by her readers. Although, I am the only one to ever vote on her stories. LOL. i don't think Nicola will worry about it either since it helps her bottom line to have it.
Like I said it is ok. I was just venting. People are who they are.
Coffee please. Black thank you. Extra large.
just a little note - i get asked, a lot, to read things, comment on them, discuss improvements, etc. i used to take the time to do it - i used to have the time to do it. these days, other then when i'm modding, in which case i'm ripping through a story for issues rather than reading it, i rarely read for pleasure - there's a few exceptions, and i do try to read at least one by anyone who is prolific, so i have a good feel for them, but honestly, my time here is mostly work time, not fun time, and my RL schedule is such that it's mostly done on my mobile in between classes, work, etc. honestly, i rarely leave comments these days unless something really stands out, or it's Verbal and involves tentacles.
as for my unconcern, yeah, the category is touchy - reinstating it caused a lot of friction here, especially for Nicki and a few other of us mods who are higher up on the echelon. personally, i don't have an issue with it, but that's just me. i'm not a huge fan, but i'm comfortable with it - tho i did write a few back in the day when we all did, just to get attention drawn to our other work. honestly, i'd ask people to take a look at your non- stuff and talk about that - might get more takers.

I really hate having to agree with Seax, but he's right. the only thing you can do is give her advice. you can't make her follow it. she needs to take control of the situation and of her life. she needs to report this stuff, whether it's physical or not. she needs to bring the authorities in. she needs to find a lawyer who will do the work regardless of her money situation. you can support her emotionally if she decides to fight back, but you can't make her fight back.
i hate having to say all of that, but i've been there myself. i let it happen to me up until a point, and then i found a way out - there weren't kids involved, which made it easier, but it still wasn't easy. in the end, it was my choice and i took control, best i could. unless she has family that is willing to step in for her or she's willing to file a criminal report and get the authorities involved or simply get out, she's stuck. btw, my advice to her. get social services involved. trust that they've seen this situation enough to know that she's being abused, that he's a danger to her and the kids, that he's unfit. it's a hard roll of the dice, but it's just going to keep getting worse unless she puts a stop to it - the sooner the better.
one more thing. he's not physically hurt her. yet. he will. she can use that when he does. if she's really desperate, she can push him to that point. of course, the ramifications of doing that are the stuff of nightmares.
i really hate writing this post, btw. it's a harsh lesson. just know this. YOU can't do anything to "fix" this. only she can.
best of luck.
ps. i will not suggest that she puts a bullet in his head one night while he's sleeping, because it would be murder and getting off with a self-defense ruling is tricky. that said, i did think it. it's something that goes through my head every time this situation arises and i would never judge anyone who did. *shrugs*
