Do authors ever read other entries before they submit their own?
If they do:
a) Has it ever put you off submitting your story because of the quality of the other competitors?
Or
b) Inspired you to enter when you had no real intention of doing so.
Is there an etiquette with regard to this?
yes, i will, not because i'm checking out the competition, tho - mostly cause i'll read certain authors as soon as they post because they're consistantly good.
if i have a good story, i submit it. if not, i don't. in fact, i prefer if the stories i'm going up against are top of the line, because it pushes me to try harder.

why would you say i was stirring things up? i just asked the question and i didnt ask for smart arse answers like the clue is in the name lesbian. and you may have a view as a non lesbian however the answer is irrelevant if you arent one so until lush starts an ask the lesbian forum ask the girls is as close as i thought i could get.
I would like to appologise to any lesbian or lesbians i may have upset with this simple forum question
i'm not sure, but if you're referring to me, i actually am - i don't let it define me, but yep, totally gay.

Scratches head .. I think our assumption was reasonable. On what basis then did you create the thread with the title that you choose if not due to your experiences on here.

just an observation big boy thats all !
actually, your assumption is rather flawed. i know tons of lesbians here who have no issues with adding men to their friends list. sounds more like you're just interested in stirring things up.

It bugs you?
Anyone is welcome to request the friendship of anyone else on here, whether or not they accept the request is up to them. Perhaps your friend request wording needs a little work.
(Lovely of you to make all of the lesbian women on lush sound like misandrists by the way, thanks for that.)

It's ok to say "scores shouldn't matter", "people need to grow a thicker skin" etc but the fact remains that a lot of people ARE revenge voting because they know who gave them less than a five.
do what i do - think of it as a refection upon them, not your story. if people want to be petty jerks, let them be petty jerks. sooner or later people figure them out and start treating them as they deserve.

Don't know if this is right place to post this. Can we have it be a secret on what we score/rate a story or poem? I'm assuming authors like to have their work commented on, but maybe it's best not to score/rate it?
I just gave a "friend" a score of 4, then wrote a nice comment about enjoying the work.
I got a black box asking why a 4. I gave my reply that it had too many similiarities to other works (or something like that). Then I said I wish I could rate the best work a 5++++++, but I only had a 4 or 5 to choose from.
This was his response: " your reasoning sounds so typical...I am not porn writer...you disrespect my work and that's deceiving and like typical lushers "
Ouch! I said I certainly did not mean to disrespect his work, but feel free to un-friend me.
His response: : “consider it done...you are a disgrace "
I would hesitate to rate any more people if they can see what I rated. That HURT and I don't like hurting others - obviously I did.
not going to comment on the suggestion. i AM going to comment on the rest of this, though. they don't sound like much of a friend. i've gotten notes from people (hi Rumple!
) saying, they scored my story lower because it wasn't up to snuff with what i usually write, and i'm okay with that, and it makes me take stock and try a little harder to better myself with the next one. if a friend can't be honest with you, it really isn't much of a friendship, and if someone is willing to end a friendship over something like that, you're probably better off. my opinion? you didn't do anything to hurt them - they, however, were rude and hurtful - calling you a disgrace? seriously? tell them to grow up and act like an adult instead of an entitled spoiled child.
