Dear Lush writers,
Recently, I have found myself returning quite a few stories with this note attached:
Dear cherished writer,
I really enjoyed your story. all 600 words of it. According to your notes, it is chapter 1 of your 34 chapter novel. May I gently suggest you take about 6 of those chapters and submit them as a single entry? More likely, more people will become invested in your story that way and actually read it in it's entirety. Just a suggestion.
Thanks,
head fairy bitch of LS
seriously, i'd like readers to chime in on this - and either back me up, or tell me i'm wrong - in my experience, the norm for multi chapter stories is that, unless they really grab someone with the first part, the readership falls off pretty dramatically with each chapter.

I appreciate your honesty in this post and think you relayed your thoughts well. I think Dirty_D covered some of the post as far as replies and you covered more with the first sentence in your last paragraph! lol That said, I can tell you that it's rare for me to award an RR straight off the bat--if a story blows me away like that, typically it'll be nominated for an EP as well. But I do remember stories that I thought were good and I go back to them later with a cleared head. What you said about the gazed over effect is true, but also sometimes when the courses of our lives are up and down, the feelings of what we're going through taint our perceptions in every aspect of our lives. That's why I go back to reread. We're all just human and trying our best.
Except Sprite. I think she's a cat.

I'm new here but I'm pretty sure I saw in the rules somewhere that anything that would file under " " is not allowed to be published here, maybe there was a scene the admins thought went a little too far?
In that case, we wouldn't have published it in the first place - my guess is that the author pulled it for one reason or another.

Sprite, what you said is amazing, that it brings you back from places that you wish you didn't go to.
a lot of times, i write poetry when i am in a bad place - it reminds me that there is a lot of beauty in the world as well, and it's a bit of a life raft, really, when i'm drowning.

Oh, THE SEX...
(Otherwise HOW can you know???)
The person I'VE LOVED most in my life.... (Well, the SEX was like two bicycles dancing...) And we TRIED at it longer than we SHOULD have...
So yeah... If the SEX don't work, you're SCREWED... (Badly, as it happens...)
xx Steve
For the record, we've never actually had sex...
on a serious note, for me, it's the sex. sex is fun, it's something that sometimes leads you to falling in love, and falling in love is wonderful, but a big part of that is the sex.
