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.

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)

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.

Alrighty - that's perfectly sensible, and all well and good.
So much for the maximums. But how bout those of us who're likely to write maaaaybe a story a month, in a good month, when we're not too busy, when we remember... That kinda thing isn't frowned upon, is it?

At the moment, I'm trying to make friends without Facebook, so I go out on the street every day and shout, what I've cooked, what I've eaten, how I feel, what I'm doing and where I am. And I grab hold of everyone I meet and yell: "I like you!".
By now, I've got 6 followers: 2 cops, a doctor, 2 nurses and a psychiater.

This one is one a student in my Summer program came up with: L--a.
At first, I was like "What?" But, her character is basically illiterate and that's her mark.
The character's name is L'dasha. The kids I work with are preteens. I had to laugh
because she had the right idea about names. I had to bite my tongue and not say,
"A dash and a hyphen are two different things." LOL

I'm never satisfied. I always see room for improvement each and every time I do a read.
I have to sometimes make myself let it go.

The other difficulty I found was trying to find new and interesting ways to describe the physical act of sexual intercourse. It's a simple and basic act: once part a is inserted into part b there's not a great deal else one can say! Sure, you can find new and interesting places and positions to put a and b together but the fact remains that it's still a dull act to write about over and over again.
This is where the erotica writers and the porn writers (or we like to call them stroke story writers) separate. A strong story line and interesting well defined characters are going to eliminate that problem. Then of course you have to have the imagination (or I like to say nature) for those types of details. Everyone that simply knows what the acts consists of isn't necessarily going to be able to make it erotic--as in real life. Experience is a major enhancement, admittedly not always necessary. If it is a really good story highlighted by the sex, the characters can be doing the most simple of things and your reader is hot an rooting for them regardless. There own imagination can fill in the whatever spaces do it for them. The entire genre is underestimated. However, it's a major thing right now. With online publishing and such, readers are flocking to it. In most book stores, it isn't even separated. It's all fiction or romance.
Strokers can care less and neither do those type of writers.
