Just switch hand...both will be guilty and thus not snitch on the other......
I'm drifting into deep water,
I'm starting to care for you.
You're gettin' me in deep water,
Be careful what you do.
You want a romance, but I'm seeking love.
I know I'll regret it when it ends.
I'm winding up in deep water.
Why can't we just be friends?
There's restless and there's deep water.
I'm lost between right and wrong.
My love is true as deep water.
Your love won't last as long.
Where will it lead me and where will it end?
I can't help but wish I only knew.
I'm winding up in deep water.
So deep in love with you.

Gee, Sprite... that's like getting a divorce and never been married!!,,,,
Yes.... Thinking Sprite has it right! Why score? Why no have a pass / fail? I use to score and comment on stories and then simple stopped when "others" started telling my that "my score" was so WRONG!!!! Really? Who's score is it? Are there "rules" as to what these numbers stand for?
As I see it.... if a story is posted, it has already been:
1) Approved topic wise, for what is accepted within Lush standards.
2) Rewritten, if needed, to correct the most obvious in poor writing skills
3) Most likely received some type peer review, with persons of shared interest or style
Given all that.... Why not give a "1" or a "2" if I really don't "get it".... if it does not flow well or if say, its too trampy? Why not be truthful.... Some story lines start out with great intentions and then fall apart in the effort to "get done", describe sex or even simply, runs too long.... too many chapters... loss of energy.
Why is a reader "owed no less then a three"?
To be truthful... "false positives" are more dangerous to a writer's progress then if a true score is given! Some keep writing "crap" when they otherwise have some outrageously great story-lines!
To me, I'd be more worried about my story being "viewed" 10,000 times, but only received 20 comments and a few hundred "half-hearted" 3+! That likely means.... the readers didn't get it and felt too sad to "SCORE"
(If you really want feedback, I'll try reading your stuff and send you a personal review via mail! That, is how I resort to giving feedback.... Good, Bad, or Ugly....LOL)
P.S. I think everyone who posted here should get an "A+" for having courage to do so!!! Or a gold star.... or a coupon for free coffee... of a free pass for self indulgence, in a manner we each choose!
In A Gadda Da Vida - Iron Buttefly
You can sleep now, go to sleep,
The rain falls and the windows weep,
I'm standing by to sing a lullaby
Close your eyes my sister fair,
Though the snow is falling and the trees are bare.
And I will hold you by the hand,
Tonight there is nothing you need try to understand.
You can sleep now, go to sleep.
The daytime's dyin' and the nighttime's so deep.
I'm standing by to sing a lullaby
