Can't complain too much. How about you?
-
Not too bad. Got a bit of a headache today, but the weather's changing so that might be why. It's getting cold again.
-
Hey, everyone. Just wanted to stop by and say hi. I hope you're all well.
-
Well, I made one that should have the correct dimensions. It's here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1EX79F12y8xjSF65Ufan5iTbf4ze2POqr/view?usp=sharing

Sanguineous - Word of the Day - Thu Feb 27, 2020
Thorn Wilde commented on Myr's blog entry in Writing World
Ooh, that makes sense! -
Took me a while to figure it out myself, so I wouldn't worry.

Just FYI, you'll see the bottom of the banner if you click it. It's what happens when a banner doesn't have the correct dimensions.

Sanguineous - Word of the Day - Thu Feb 27, 2020
Thorn Wilde commented on Myr's blog entry in Writing World
Interestingly, the word sanguine, which has the same etymological roots, means optimistic or hopeful. Can't help but wonder how a word related to blood took on that meaning... -
So if I want mine changed, I contact one of you? I could make one with the correct dimensions. Speaking of dimensions, I noticed when visiting @Dodger's stories page that it looks very odd, with the banner stretching past the 'edge' of the screen.
-
So I see I now have a banner. Thank you. Is that the thing, that you have to put it there for me? Can I change it myself?
-
I don't know. I don't even know where or how to upload it. What dimensions is it supposed to be?
-
Pics or it didn't happen.
-
Yeah, you're stubborn. Some might even say pig-headed at times. But I'd rather say you're determined and brave. ❤️
-
Oh, I know. Having to move it doesn't help either.

I've noticed that other promoted authors have banners on their Stories pages and in the authors lists, but I can't seem to figure out how to upload one. There doesn't seem to be an option in any of my settings, nor is there one on my stories page. Is my profile banner supposed to carry over? Because it hasn't. On a MacBook Pro, 2015, running MacOS Mojave and using Safari.

That was lovely. The piano could do with tuning, though. Incidentally, I read somewhere yesterday that the same things happen in elephant brains when they see humans as what happens in human brains when we see cute animals; they think we're adorable. Inter-species empathy is a weird and wonderful thing!

Good advice in these potentially pandemic times...
-
If the sort by reputation goes by community rep rather than story rep, why is it a sort option? People who use it will likely be looking for the authors with the most liked stories, not the ones that are most active in chat... Can story rep be made visible? Just thinking out loud here, it's not a criticism.

I loved editing this story. Thanks for letting me be a part of this adventure! It was quite a ride.
-
I adore this music video so much. The song's catchy, the dancing's good, and it's so gay! A commenter on YouTube said it best: Edited to add: OMG! This one has the same dudes playing Khrushchev and Kennedy! lol
-
This is an important point. There's nothing new under the sun; it's just a question of how we tell our stories. Originality rarely lies in the premise or the basic themes of the tale. It's in the details, the voice, the tone, and so on. That's how you set your story apart from other stories that, if you strip away all the trimmings, are the same story underneath.
-
I agree about the club forums. They don't seem to be organised in any discernible way at all, neither alphabetically nor by update or club or content.
-
Maybe that's why there's so much sexual assault that goes unacknowledged and unreported in the gay community. You say no one would have reacted like Daniel, well I personally know people who would, and have. One thing is fantasising about it. Having it happen is quite another.
-
I wish to add that, as a reader, I've often relied on the sidebar. Precisely because of the community focus of the site, I'm more likely to just revert to the forum front page, glance at the sidebar, and click if I see an interesting title, than I am to go to the stories page and actively look. I'm sure I'm not the only person who does this. I don't see how this change is beneficial to anyone. If you could demonstrate that it is, maybe I'd be more at ease with it, but to me it looks a lot like change just for change's sake. EDIT: Also, if you want to see how readership has dwindled, just look at the amount of likes on the weekly top stories now compared to earlier. Cause there are regularly stories with one like on that list, including right now.

I don't think it's very healthy to end up in a relationship with your rapist. Do you?
