Just to add a different perspective to the question of Poetry and it's place in the top 10. I write both poems and erotic stories and, to be honest, although i might spend more time writing stories, the poetry is actually a lot harder and something i am prouder of in some cases. That said, i sort of have to agree with the fact that people are coming her for sex/erotica and, if they were to look at the top 10 and find that it was all poetry, they might get a skewed veiw of the site and not look beyond that.
Honestly, i think the top authors spots should be used to highlight the site to casual visitors rather then be an ego boost for a few talented few, and i'm not saying that in a mean spirited way... some of the works i've read here are amazing and the authors deserve their laurels. That said, for myself, i get those in the comments made either on the stories themselves or by other members in chat room, messages, etc. Personally, i find that the whole top author bit makes people a little overly competitive (and i am biting my tongue here about another issue that has no place under this particular subject heading).
in my opinion as an admittedly newer member, i think that Lush promotes its self as a site for erotic literature, and shouldn't divert from that course. i could easily ask 'why can't we have a catagory for non erotic lit', but once again, it would diversify the site beyond what i believe it's creators intended.
thanks for letting me share my opinion.

*shy smile* i'm not sure what to add, seeing as how there has been some amazing advice so far, but, too much is better then not enough:
as an experienced user of E, one of the things that was drilled into my head by the lovely girl who gave me my first hit was to be responsible and always be safe. this was a great idea, asking people who have had the experience and can share. always know your source. trust the people who are supplying the drug and the ones you are taking it with. It really does lower your inhibitions and you don't want to take it with people who will take advantage of you.
Make sure you have plenty of water and hydrate frequently! i suggest your own waterbottle. Number one way to make sure you have a bad night is letting yourself get dehydrated. Oh, and yes, you can experience the E comedown the next day - E works by releasing seratoin and you tend to 'run out of them' so post E depression does effect some people - i was always lucky and rarely hit by it, but it does happen.
The very first time i tried it, i did half a hit, my body weight is very low, and it gave me a chance to get a feel for how it would effect me. I would reccemend going with a partner and making sure you have a place to crash out (preferably a spare bed or couch or some pillows) when you come down. Most people end up being up all night and in no condition to drive the next morning.
as for taking more then one, as i became experienced with the drug, i would take a single hit and then, when i started coming down, i'd take another one - the second doesn't effect you as strongly, it just sort of maintains your high longer.
do NOT mix drugs, especialy alchohol. very bad idea, and really, the high is so amazing, you really don't want to mix it up with anything else, at least not at first - Candy flipping (mixing E with LSD) is a great high, but yeah, walk before you run!
also, make sure you have access to condoms and use them! probably want to bring your own lube as well. Honestly, for me, E always led to mass snuggling and kissing piles when with a group - i only use it as a sex aid when with a single partner in the privacy of my/their home.
oh, and as far grinding teeth, bring gum with you! also makes your breath smell good when all that kissing is going on! ;)

You Are Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
You are creative, imaginative, and more than a little trippy.
You see the world with an artist's eye. Sometimes the craziest little details inspire or amuse you.
You can get lost in your own daydreams, which can be vivid, colorful, and downright bizarre.
You're drawn toward imaginary worlds and outlandish thoughts. You like to play with ideas, even when the results are a bit strange.

during my online porn experiments, in which i decided that most porn doesn't do much for me, i watched some she-male porn... maybe its's because i'm bi, but i found them incredibly attractive... sort of the best of both worlds, beautiful women with built in strap ons... *blushes*

Your score is: 75
What does your score mean?
Getting it on in public seems to give you a thrill, to the point that you push the envelope much farther than most people. This open approach to public displays of passion surely keeps your sex life steamy and varied, and you're not alone - a lot of people get very turned on by the fact that they could be caught in the act at any moment. While it may be all fun and games, however, you should reconsider some of the consequences of your actions. You could be discovered at the wrong place (your office) at the wrong time (work hours) by the wrong person (your boss) and suffer some serious humiliation. Besides, public displays of lust can be rude and make other people very uncomfortable. Try balancing your libertinism with some discretion.
