I get that all the time. I have two major unfinished series that I've been trying to finish for years now. I have no idea how to fix it, but I would suggest you take a break from it and work on something short and fun, then get back to it again. Let me know if it works, I seriously need to finish mine as well.

Cool beans...somebody translated one of my poems into Vietnamese, and they didn't just use Google Translate either, I just figured out...so it is an actual translation...anyone here speak Vietnamese by any chance? Just curious how they did, though they did take the time to translate it, so it can't be all bad...

And yes, I realize it was posted three years ago, and the first I've seen it was tonight...and yes, I will never understand Google searches either...

That really is cool... and sorry, can't help you with Vietnamese, but feel free to ask me if anyone translates any of your work into Afrikaans, Korean or Japanese.

I would like to see a competition along the lines of having to incorporate certain random words and phrases into the narrative. Now that's a challenge!
We've actually had competitions in the past that had prompts - 'New Beginnings', 'A Picture Worth a Thousand Words' and 'Stories Space Drabble'.

Patience my sweet children... Just a wee bit more patience...
I know one just past but when can we expect another one to come around?
Patience my sweet children... we're working on it...
I feel like a child when you do that. That is too funny
I shall sit in the corner and wait.

Please note that this will be the first Stories Space story competition where mods are allowed to enter along with everyone else. To ensure fairness, mods entering the competition have not been allowed access to the story judging forum, nor will they be on the judging panel.
Best of luck to everyone entering the competition.

With all due respect to everybody, but what's the point of having a competition when very few people can even be bothered to read or comment 'normal' submissions?
You only have to scroll down the home page and look at just how few comments have been left for all of the work that various members have published in recent weeks to see that there is very little interest being shown in what is some excellent quality work. If this is the attitude towards the work being published now what difference is it going to make whether the work is for a competition?
I fail to see what a competition will provide or prove. It will be something of a hollow victory for whomever wins if the voting is by just a handful of people...
Have fun, those of you who feel and believe that this is a good idea and a worthwhile enterprise.
I understand fully what you're saying when you talk about the lack of interest in reading/voting on/commenting on other's work, it's an issue that needs to be addressed, but I fail to see how it has anything to do with us running our competition.
If I may, please allow me to banish the misconception that votes and/or comments on competition pieces have any sway on the judges' decision - it does not. The judges' decisions are based solely on quality of work and how well the theme was presented, votes and/or comments don't enter into the equation at all.
A new competition always brings with it much needed excitement, we love that buzz. That's why we have competitions on Stories Space.
Best of luck to everyone entering the competition.

Attention all newbies (as well as a few oldies)!
Please note that this is NOT an adult site. It is NOT an online dating site. It is NOT a spamming/trolling site. It is a community of story/poetry writers and readers.
Bear in mind that this is a family-friendly site, so all usernames, avatars, profile bios, galleries, profile comments and forum posts need to be G-rated. This is not negotiable and any member who does not comply will have his/her account deleted without warning.
I would like to thank the members who took the time to report the offensive profiles, without you we might not have noticed them. Also, apologies to everyone who had to see those vulgar displays before they were taken down.

There are times when we come across a troll scorer and have to remove all their votes, which would affect the amount of votes on your stories. We haven't had to do that in a while, so I doubt that's what happened to your stories. Send me a link to the stories in question and I will look into it.

A third tab has now been added.
That's great! Thanks for the quick change.
However — and I apologize for being nitpicky about it — the All tab really ought to be the default. Otherwise, as Paul has pointed out,
poems won't appear on the landing page that everyone sees, including guests who aren't necessarily aware that the different tabs exist.
There's an option to change your default tab in your settings.

My suggestion would be that if you guys really want something like this, then by all means do it, but it will unfortunately not be run by the site mods. We're spread too thin as it is right now and something like this can end up taking up a lot of time. Let me know and I can open up a new forum category for you to do this, but a member needs to volunteer to oversee it.
Please note - It will be a thread for suggested story/poetry picks and voting, not a discussion thread.

Oh there are far too many to mention here, but I love the soundtracks from most of the Disney movies... don't look at me with those judgy eyes, they are friggin' awesome.
My fave movie soundtracks that I listen to often are from August Rush, Spirit - Stallion of Cimarron and more recently, The Hobbit.
