Kudos: Is It Just Me?

Does anyone else feel intuitively that a kudo under the new system has or should have a higher threshold than a vote did under the previous one?

If so, should we?

Somehow a vote gives me the feeling of "all in favor say aye" -- something one can provide without any real enthusiasm. A kudo, on the other hand, strikes me as a more independent affirmation, an announcement that there's something more than ordinary about a particular work.

CHAPTER 2

I had a big grin on my face but, now, Carol looked just as shocked as the doctor. She shook her head.

“That can’t be!”

I glared at her.

“And why not?”

“Boys are not born here!”

A Request

Author: 

Edeyn I just spent over an hour going through Arecee's Show Me The Money! line by line, both in and out of the editor, trying to find what was causing it to be overly wide -- the problem that makes folks have to scroll their window left and right to read it instead of just scrolling down -- which was pointed out by one of the users.

After determining that it wasn't the story itself, I turned to the table Arecee had written/coded for the headers of the story.

How Can I Be So Freakin' Dumb

Author: 

Sometimes you just don’t feel like making all that much effort. You know the feeling — when you know you should look good, but all you can manage is a brush or two through your hair and a little lip gloss. It’s the same thing with writing. You get a good idea for a story, sit down, and finger regurgitate onto the screen.

I’m more likely to heavily research a story before I start writing, but once in a while I’ll just wing it. The first two stories I entered in the Halloween contest were light-hearted affairs that took very little time or effort to construct.

I think its time for me to take a breather and pull back a little. I've just finished Weight Problem and as much as I want to start writing my Blue Beetle Retcon right away, I think I need a day or two to recharge my creative battery. I've got a pretty good idea on how I want to write it but right now I think a few days won't kill me.

So in a couple of days look for The Blue Bug From Outer Space.

Linkedln Spam, sorry.

I guess it is my fault. I got an email from someone I know, and she asked me if I wanted to link with her on Linkedln, a purportedly professional web network site.

Well, now the thing is making its way through every contact that I have of any kind with anyone and sending them invitations to link with me. I am sorry about this. I got duped and did not realize what the consequences would be.

From now on, everything I get from them is getting marked spam.

Well; at last I've got over the 'writer's block hump' dealing with Beverly's eventual slow reconciliation with her own kind back on earth.
She's had children by Ruby and the next couple of chapters deal with sibling rivalry as the various children manouvre to try and wrest control of 'Taff Spaceships' after Beverly shuffles off her mortal coil. (Although this aint about to happen anytime soon.)

New Story Required Changes to Old

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

For more than two years I have been contemplating writing more about one of the characters in A California Saga. Well, the muse kicked in a few months ago, and the story is nearly completed. The title is The Redhead and the PM, and it is about Sylvia's older sister, Kate O'Donnell. As this story evolved, I realized that some of the things I wrote in Chapter 13 of Five Love Stories en Brochette would have to be changed. Thank heavens it is an author's prerogative to change the universe about which he writes. The necessary changes have now been made and posted.

I am an author on this site with a lot of stories and I am, I suppose, one of the more popular ones.

It has become apparent for a while now that comments seem to be on the decline, which is a pity as many authors who contribute to the site like to get feedback that the stories that they have written are appreciated or not as the case may be.

Erin and her team are always asking for readers to comment, indeed at the bottom of each and every story there is the following:

Well, today was a better day. Not only did I not have to work, and thus got a few things done that have been hanging over my head, but because my mom was home too, I was able to go to the transgender support group meeting (I had to smuggle out my Dorothy outfit and change there, but still) It felt good to be with the girls (and guys). I think I really really needed that right now.

Lost all my hearing!

Taxonomy upgrade extras: 

Author: 

Suddenly yesterday, I lost all the hearing in my left ear. There is a tiny bit left but it sounds like speaker does when the cone is torn. I did not hit my head or anything. I have been wearing a hearing aid in that ear for quite some time. There is a problem in my right ear, but I can not tolerate a hearing aid there. To top it off, there is another kind I can use in the right ear but I will not be able to use my Hijab, and that is a big deal to me.

“Just stop it. Whatever your game is, I refuse to participate any further. You’ve won. You’ve beaten me, and I am in no shape to defend myself, so just… finish me off and be done with it!”

She slowly approached, a new, yet familiar anger on her face. I watched as she balled her fists. A torrent of shadows washed over her form, and I shut my eyes tightly waiting for the finishing blow.

SMACK!

“OW! What… Why did you slap me?!” I shouted in surprise.

Hi,
last week I remembered a story I read some time ago and wanted to reread it, only to find I couldn't remember the title.
The only things remaining are some details and an idea of what the name of the main characters may be.
I tried searching for it, but without sufficient info to feed the search engines and without a clue on which site it was on, I can only sift through ever single story on the sites I think it could be.
I hope that someone can make some sense of the bits and pieces I remember and can give me a title or even a link.

Here is what I know:

Next Chapter of Duelist of time

Well i have an excuse for the next chapter being a bit later than week since the last one, i was going to be typing it monday - but my cat decided to start dying so it had to be taken to the vets - its a male cat, big, eats dry food so it got peeing problems (Cant spell the proper term for it). I had knew something was wrong when it was puking up the dryfood.

So its still in the vets, gonna cost a bit -  £500 or $350 i think for the americans who come to this site, something like that.

Looking for Mermaid stories

Hi I'm fairly new to the TG reading community as I was reading Ranma 1/2 stories before this. Anyway I've been browsing the net looking for TG mermaid stories. When I was a young boy I always dreamed of becoming a beautiful mermaid swimming in the ocean, so I find I enjoy reading the few fics I can find. Can anybody recommend any fics they know of?

Fics Ive read:

I like stories where the boy becomes a preppy girl. I just love the element of blouses under sweaters and pearls, cute mini skirts and elegant pencil skirts. cardigans, cableknit sweaters, sweatervests, turtlenecks, argyle. i love them all. Does anyone know where I can find a story with those elements in them.

Thank you

I heard a bell ringing and the stampeding of feet, and realised straight away that the girls were going to breakfast. I was hungry myself but that would have to wait because I had other matters to attend to first, so I would just have to ignore my grumbling tum.

I don't know how much of this I'll be able to get into text, or how little, and if you get lost along the way, just raise your hand and an usher will be along shortly.

The final two posts of this story might be a little different than the others. They may or may not be more than one chapter long. It all depends on how much I want to fit into one chapter. Right now I'm writing Ch. 14, which will switch POVs back and forth between siblings. Then in my last post I'll have the last chapter and an epilogue, at least that's the plan at the moment.

I'll be taking a little Center break after that and moving on to two Retcons, the first one being Blue Beetle and the second Booster Gold.
