LOL! Nice spin Sprite!
Yes I guessed the vote right! but am secretly hoping for Gav's magical trick to make it an option to hide from the profile page
hit him up, seriously - it might not go to the top of the list, but if it looks like it's something people want, i am sure it can be done - that said, not really sure there will be a huge surge of people feeling strongly about it? but then again, i could be wrong.
btw, that wasn't really spin, that truly was the intent.

I just noticed that the lovely recommended black medals are replaced by these blue V's
Uhm, my first association was to be back in high school to get an approved on an essay (no high grade just a sufficient summier approved), 2nd association is my To do or work checklist, though very efficient I am not a list fetishist!
Maybe it is done because of the resemblance of the editor's pick but I really think the black medal suits the style of the site better and is more appealing!
It was a symbol of specialty like a recommendation is intended, a V in my opinion is a symbol of according to standard, (good yes but not special). In addition it could imply that the other work is not.
There was probably a collective vote behind this and I don't want to go against that just giving my opinion but would it be possible to make it invisible on your profile page, to turn it off?
Btw love the other new features Gav! You know you rock
it was based on a collective vote; it was discussed it for a long time before picking that particular symbol. As for turning it off? i don't know if that's an option, i am guessing no. btw, nothing is set in stone, and if, at some point, it's decided that it should be changed, it probably will - for now, tho, we like that one a lot.
oh, and it's a check, not a V - as in; check this one out, it's awesome.

Amazingly perceptive review, Sprite.
The only thing I can think to add is that so many of the extreme, often computer generated, camera moves and perspectives of the first half seemed intent on making the movie into some kind of 3D roller coaster ride. If anyone actually saw the 3D version, I'd love to hear how you thought it worked. In 2D, like Sprite says, it was a chore to watch.
i saw it in 2d - there were several times when it was obvious that there was a 3d scene in it, which is always a little distracting. i have issues, at time, with 3d movies so i tend to avoid them.

I was reading a published poem "When I'm away from you" by Saltine9001 and about have way through poem i got a line of options (contact us, Help, privacy options, disclaimer, mobile, lush gold) and then again at the end of the poem. Didnt seem right
thank you for point that out
i've fixed it so it reads as intended now - not sure what happened - a bug of sorts, perhaps.

WOW! That is like spot on and super in depth! Loved your take on the first and second halves of the movie. I actually enjoyed a lot of the cinematography, but then I'm really interested in the use of those sorts of devices, its not for everyone. And oh! we're going to have to talk about Ironman 3! What a movie, but don't get me started thats an entirely different thread!
and like i said, i think he did this on purpose, showing us two worlds thru Gatsby's eyes - the shallow vapidness of those born into wealth and the deepness that believed was the love that he and Daisy shared which was, in the end, as shallow as the rest. it was a fantasy, one he'd fooled himself into believing, also one that neither Daisy nor reality could ever live up to. in the end, i think that it was mercy that his last thought was that that it was Daisy on the other end of the call, that his physical death was kinder than the death he would have felt at finding out his dreams were just that; dreams, as empty and shallow as the reality that he looked down upon from the windows of his mansion.

quick movie review time. just got back, went with friends who wanted to see it. first off, we all agreed that the soyngs worked. Yes, they were anachronistic, but they weren't up there in your face so. some of them are beautiful - love is blindness by Jack White was especially moving to me. The Lana Del Rey song, however was the only one i didn't care for (the lone dissenter among 6, bw).
ok, on to the movie. not everyone is going to like this maybe most aren't. it uses a device, that, while i understand why it was used, makes the first part of the movie a chore. it comes across as fake, plastic, very music video looking. exaggerated expressions, colors, in your face camera work, over the top choreography (not just talking about dance, but about the movement of actors, props, everything seemed very staged.). it was beautiful but empty and i came close to falling asleep... and then...
that the thing, it's two movies. the first, is fake, empty, pretty but shallow, and it's all a device. when Daisy and Gatsby come together, it becomes a different movie. all the emptiness is left behind and it becomes incredibly intimate. i loved the second movie. it's brilliant, despite the fact that you know it's going to break your heart - and i think it succeeds because the first half is how it is... i found myself reduced to tears, quite honestly, drained by the beauty of it's tragedy, and i think it does the book justice.
it's meant to be like that, i think - Luhrman took a huge risk, but really, it's as if you're seeing it all thru Gatsby's eyes - nothing matters except his fantasy of Daisy, and it is a fantasy. he has this perfect vision, it's all a lie, but it's a beautiful lie and we are let into it for a time, sharing it until it all goes up in smoke and the harsh light of reality returns...
will i recommend it? hard to do. some people are just not going to like it. out of 6, i was the only one who really truly loved it. everyone else was more along the lines of: it wasn't bad. be warned that it really is a hard movie to love, but the more i talk and think about it, the more amazing i think it was. just be warned, the first half may have you wanting to sneak into another theater and catch ironman 3.

OK - answering as something of a porn connoisseur it's different every time, depending on my mood. Sometimes I want perfect picture quality, sound and everything else. Sometimes a crappy muted clip is enough. What I really want to see is people doing things that *they* love doing... that I want to do or have done to me at that moment in time.
you owe me a new keyboard. mine's got tea all over it now.

We have two winners!
Nikki703 and paulfromma are both correct.
I went to college with a lady who worked as a fluffer in the porn world. Most, but not all of her job, was to get the male star(s) hard before a scene was started (like first thing in the morning or after lunch), or keep him hard "off screen" while a scene was being discussed, re-written, camera angles were re-set, etc.
A woman porn star can fake it (and do it convincingly), but the male star is eother hard or not; he either cums or not.
Her real talent was not in getting the guy hard, she thought that was the easy part. Her talent was keeping the guy from cuming, particularly as the shooting day progressed.
I want to ask Nikki in particular how she knew the answer?
i actually knew the answer (having worked in the industry, not as a fluffer, but as a crop duster) for several years. i was just going for funny. ok, your turn. do you know that a "crop duster" is?

head over heels over headi lay in my tub
bladder full from too much to drink
flat on my back my clit i did rub
thoughts of what i'd done in the sink
mouth open, eyes closed, mentally assigning fault
too late to stop it, pressure too great
golden stream arcing too late to halt
listening as it left my cunt with a hiss
covering my belly, tits, face with hot piss
then giggling madly i ran from the room
dripping wet droplets all over the floor
why had i done it, i can't really explain
but now that i've done it, i know one things for sure
just like i know that the winter brings rain
i know i'm going to do it some more.

i am going to share this, because... well, i want to. not the riskiest place, but today i masturbated to two orgasms on our back patio, setting in a chair, lap top on the patio table. no pants on, no panties. just a tee and a hoodie. oh, and i peed right before i climaxed the first time. there. i put that out there. now, if you'll excuse me, i'm going to go hide my face for several weeks.

I know, right? I see a Lifetime movie in the making. Can you imagine being in captivity for 10 years waiting for the opportunity to escape and someone happens along and pretty much saves your life? That really only happens on TV.
i hope Karma follows Mr Ramsey around for the rest of his life and fills it with nothing but wonders.

just wrote this up cause it made me smile, plus, there's a bit of truth to it:
The Lush scoring system as it really works:
5: pretty good to brilliant and i think you're hot.
4: not all that good to ok but at least you tried - plus, i think you're hot.
3: awful and you suck and you're not even very hot.
2: i don't like you very much, you really suck and you laughed at me when i asked if you would cyber with me.
1: i'm stalking you, i hate you, but i also love you, pay attention to me, you bitch and oh, you dissed the other girl i'm stalking by giving her a 4, so take this, you big fat meanie (why won't you answer my OMs? i'm bored and very horny!)

I effing LOVE the little ghosty showing that I'm invisible to everybody! I call him "Bob". Thank you, Gav.
actually, his name is Willy, Daisy. Coco named him. now you can tell anyone who asks why they haven't seen you around for a few days that... "My willy was up."

I thought I saw my name and "bad dream" in the same sentence...must have been that damn auto-correct again...
Yeah, I think Gav has a point...and any story that has 340 Five votes doesn't need a ribbon to get it more attention btw...I'm not sure that member input by voting in addition to what we're already doing is a good idea though...
And I can tell you that not everyone is happy with the few we've picked over on the blue site already...not that everyone on a story site will ever be happy...just sayin'
i'm always happy here. just sayin'!

Safe and sane sex (like fireworks) is tantamount to good, satisfying sex or scenes. Safe words, if that's what it takes, should be arranged, but what I question here is an obvious lack of communication before you get to that point. Most adept practitioners of BDSM behavior openly communicate about what is going to happen, what might happen, safety concerns, experience, practice runs, talking it through, etc. etc. You do not just spring something on someone and expect them to know their own level of comfort at the time, so that a safe word is so vital. I know of no real Master/Dom/Mistress/Domme who purposefully or even accidentally leads their slave/sub into a danger point without super deep communication about it beforehand. It's just not done. It is always, always, always the responsibility of the one in charge to handle things like this. That said, yes, there are times when a safe word may be the best resolution, but consider how and why you are bringing the sub/slave to that point.
really, i could post something in my own words, or i could just point to the above and go "he gets it".

This is what you do, both of you need to get naked and when he feels the urgh to pee, put a strap-on on and stand behind him putting the strap-on up his ass while standing. The next thing is to reach around and grab his cock and tell him to start peeing. Let me know how this goes.....
i bet i could make an educated guess without even trying it.
