That's plenty enough for me


in that case, you get a special message.

Rachel,
This is one of the best posts I've ever read. You did an amazing job talking about yourself and I bet it wasn't easy. I wish I'd be as good as you. I'm too afraid, I had so many disappointments by friends who promised me to be good listeners but they really weren't. Trust is something I don't give lightly.
I'm not so good letting go, but I found that writing is my therapy and in my stories there's always a piece of myself. If a good reader want to read carefully, he/she can find me there. One day I wish I'd be able to tell my hole story as clearly as you did.
I don't know you, but please, accept my virtual hug.
Have a good rest of your day.


hi Ginger. sorry this took a few days. been a crazy month. we bought a house, we're migrating lush, and i have been doing interviews AND am starting a new job, soo...

so glad you popped your head in. listening is key, isn't it. listening with out judgement, i should say. i spent years writing journals and saying the things i couldn't say to others in them. at some point i started letting my wife read them so i could tell her things without actually having to say the words. slowly, i learned how to say the words and TRUST that she would be there to hear them. thanks for the hug. have one in return and, when you are ready to tell your whole story, i would be honored to be able to listen to it and give you another hug or two.

Maybe one day. Usually we spend all our time trying to sober Nicola up and trying to persuade Sprite to put some clothes on


fuck all of you. if god had wanted people to wear clothes, we'd be born with them on. letting my freak flag fly high, babies! WOO HOO!

This is also probably a really stupid question but what is the difference between someone deliberately downvoting a story and someone thinking a story was formulaic or cliched and voting it a lower score such as a 3 for example when others are gushing over it and giving it a 5.

Does the 3 not count and be seen as a downvote rather than someone's opinion?

How can whoever is removing the deliberate down votes tell the difference?


if someone gives a story a 3, that's one thing. if someone gives every single story in the comp a 3, no matter the quality, it's likely downvoting. we'll leave the single 3 be while the serial 3s are likely to be removed.
Just a little inspriation. 6 years ago i tried to kill myself. yesterday my wife and i bought a house. things do get better. hope everyone is in a good place today. if not, just hang in there. it does get better. you are loved.
i'm being held hostage here and made to work in the mod mines. SEND HELP!
I'd like to have 2 good days in a row. simple as that. not as much a rage as a 'i'm just really tired of this'.

ok, a bit of a rage.

I DID say white on rice, then became mortified after Urban Dictionary told me is was a racist sexual reference. I like to think I’m pretty unshockable, but Urban Dictionary proves me wrong on a pretty regular basis.


also, brown rice is better for you.

I was actually looking for the ranking available. I know how to change it, but I'd like to use a smart one. So I was asking if there is a list of the possible rankings. Sorry if I didn't use the proper word.


No, sorry. Active Ink slinger is the only one available like that. Anything else, you just have to be creative. smile
So happy for you. This one really deserved some special recognition. Congratulations.
look over your story from bottom to top for grammatical and spelling errors and typoes. That way you won't be reading the story, just looking at the words. It's easier to catch. Also, I suggest reading it out loud from top to bottom.

Hi all. I've only just heard about this project, and what an amazing one it is! I might share a little at some point, but just now I just wanted to say I think this is a really brilliant space here for this community.

❤


share or don't share - i know how hard it can be, even in a safe place. either way, you are always welcome, and loved, here. so glad you stopped in to say Hello.

Does it count if they weren't yours to begin with? If so then yes, on purpose. If not, then never mind and disregard.


lol I like you.

and yes. I mean, who here hasn't?


Chris was a beautiful man gone too soon. figuring this out on guitar. sloppy but not bad. now if only i could get through it without screaming. still hurts some days. hope everyone is doing well. drinks are on me for until Pride month is over. peace.

Rumplators, this is just plain ridiculous. According to one of thos new-fangled Amazon Echo 'Alexa' machines, a few minutes ago the temp in Portland, OR was 112f. Meanwhile out here in the desert, in the 'Valley of the Sun' the temp was only 106f. BTW, the sultry, Steaming, sweltering ,siren of Seattle, that would be our, Sprite, is enjoying temps of just over 100f.

Seeker, think I'll join you in chugging down a tall, cold 'Tailgater'. Anybody else want a drink?



108F today. and no AC. even the cats are miserable. ice had become the main form of currency.

So my six thousand word, single paragraph with no quotation marks opus featuring *censored* and *censored* should wait until Fall?



Quote by Jen
Bumping this. There are quite a few verifiers having a well earned vacation at the moment, so we're a bit thin on the ground.

Please be patient

Thank you


also, think about it. if you're sending in a story with enough issues that we have to return it, you're doubling the time spent on it. sometimes tripling it if you do it again. please be considerate of the mods and your fellow writers who are patiently waiting for their stories to be published.

thanks,
Sprite.
Quote by AngelWorthy




I have only been here just over 7 months (although Lush says 12 months). But I 100% agree with you. I spend more time with "family" on here than I do some of my "family" in the real world. This place is great.


this is all going to go to my head, you know. as if my ego wasn't big enough already.

seriously, though, thank you, and I am humbled. this site and especially the people on it give me back as much as i have given over the past 11 years and i feel blessed that Nicola has let me be so much of a part of it. so thank you to everyone who has posted and to everyone who had touched my life here. it means a lot.

love,
rachel

Sprite wears DMs too??
My respect for her has only increased.

To the wonderful Sprite, may you have a special year and all the blessings this Witch can recite.
You're a priceless jewel of a human being and I'm quite potty about you.


mine are yellow. smile thank you. i was a little blown away seeing that thread the other day. unexpected and sweet and I'm really feeling all the love. what should be mentioned is that what i gave, i get back. from this place and from everyone here. the love, the advice, the shoulder to cry on, the spark of creativity. it's one of the reasons I'm here after 11 years still. it's not really a writing site, it's a really huge (and sometimes dysfunctional lol) family.

Always wear panties when playing on the monkey bars.
I put a lot of thought into this years gift...



smile

in all seriousness, this one is special. You have been, from day 1, one of the people i love most. thank you for the gift of your friendship. I means more to m than i can express in words (i know it's a cop out, but it's true). I love you and really, i celebrate you every day of the year. that said, you're only getting one damn present. and no receipt.

Happy birthday my beautiful friend.

PS. Tell Clare that, if she gets you drunk and takes compromising pictures, I want copies. again.9IknYRcaoev0mpit
happy dad's day to all the dads. happy sunday to everyone else. smile
Quote by Fiona69m
Ok. so what is the best start to a story, I prefer to introduce characters but i was wondering are some stories better when it jumps right into the action with no build up...

what is the general view on this and how is the story to get anything other than scratching the surface without that base?



never ever EVER do the laundry list. That's key. This is what i mean -

Jane was 5 foot 4 and weighed 120 pounds with black hair and green eyes and a set of DD tits. it's a trope in erotica but it should be banned. It's the best way to make me NOT read a story and despise the author for all of eternity.
Quote by Liz
I think the best way to start a story is to punch your reader right between the eyes.

Go big. Go bold.

Hook them right from the very first sentence.

I'll give you a couple of examples:







one of my fav. starts to one of mine. smile


Beside us raced the hurricane. 140 mph of sheer twisted speed, barely able to keep up with the rented Corvette we’d picked up in Toledo, let alone my amphetamine fueled brain. Under the dashboard was enough acid and ecstasy to turn an entire nation of jihad spouting Islamists into black-eyed love monkeys. Wrapped up in tinfoil and enough duct tape to open our own OSH to keep those drug sniffing bastard Nazis commonly known as german shepherds at bay. Not even my sharp nosed companion could spot the scent over the stink of dog sweat and urine that permeated the vinyl seats of the rental car, neither as strong as the stench of desolation that had driven spikes into our brains via our nostrils.

So, about that raw, dead octopus... does it change anything if it's been boiled first?


you're officially on notice. smile
