Bummer! I want to score and comment on LarryFNigh's work, because I really like it, but for some reason, I can't.


I am so glad I could help get this taken care of. I feel almost useful for a change. It has been a while since I felt useful.
Hello my friend. Be careful your shoe is untied. Made you look and I moved in behind.

New (untried) ideas or repetition of the known



It used to be untried (enjoyed new things and experiences), but now it needs to be repetitive.

It is awful. Have you ever found a way to describe the sound? Buzz or ringing just is not quite right. Did you know it could cause audio hallucinations?
It does not matter how big the spot is, with my impressive girth I take up all the room back her.
Be careful if you try to move in behind me, I ate spicy foods last night.

What habit do you have that you would like to get rid of?

This is more in reference to cursing and keeping it within the guidelines of this site. The forums are public and a younger audience are allowed to partake. On stories we can put an age limit and warning on it, in the forums, we can't.

Thank you everyone for keeping that in mind. smile



Since you must be 16 to join, would it be fair to say, as a general guidance, that the forum should be basically PG-13?

I was wondering if anyone else has had trouble submitting stories on here. I have been told and have also read that the stories are usually verified with in 24 hours and both times I have submitted it has taken over 24 hours to be verified (have put my second one up on the 27th of February and am still waiting for it to be verified) so I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else (not judging or wanting to cause trouble just curiosity)




Hi again Nekala.

I have not been to every site that people have stories checked before being posted, but the ones I have average closer to 3-4 day and sometimes a week.
I would guess that more than 80% of my stories are done within 12-36 hours. Most of my writing is stories of 1500-3500 words (usually around 2250).
I have found that shorter pieces such as poems, flash fiction, and story of 1200 words or less tend to be verified a little quicker for obvious reasons.

Occasionally they will be returned for the reason mentioned when returned. That is for the author's benefit.
The moderators will make minor proofing fixes. I found it very helpful to compare the posted story to the submitted story from my original.
I found several mistakes I was commonly making so I learned a lot from it.

If you begin to think your story is taking too long, contact a moderator and they can check on its progress.
Personally I wait two days for that and in all the time I have been here that has only happened to me once.

Methinx this path has come to an end
With all the dribble that has been penned
It's time for all to have a fresh start
To have more fun and play it smart
And treat each other like a friend.



AMEN!
Honestly Andy, I actually do both. My arthritis hurts bad enough after lying still for four hours that it wakes me up.
I'm normally in bed at 9pm and up no later than 2am. Take some pain medication, stretch out the kinks , and then usually go to my computer. By 6am I usually go back to bed until 10am.
If I had a choice, l would sleep in for sure. Getting older sucks in some ways.

Skiing, water or snow?

Right now I wish I was sharing fresh popcorn (kettle corn if possible) and a good movie with someone as the snow fell.
