I look at the catagory it is classified as, the tags attached, and then read the first couple of lines to get a feel for the story. I will even read stories that in catagories I have zero interest in because I love a good story.

well I started by reading from category's of my interest, and then using the suggestions at end expanded into others until I started my account. from there I started read the stories of friends. how ever, if it doesn't grab me in first few paragraphs I move on. I don't always score them unless I really like it. not going to give low score just because it wasn't what I wanted. I especially like continued threads. I have list of who I follow but have come to not read them when new stories fome out unless it grabs me. however I have noticed some not writing any more. if you tickle my eye I will read
The stories here are fantastic. We have some really good writers. I never have enough time to read the ones I want. I think a great headline helps and if I recognize the name of the writer as a friend.
I try to read all my friends stories, but i especially like the spanking stories and love stories...
doing my best to be good..
If someone i've been chatting with asks, or a friends, i try my best to read their story. I also look to the EP section and people's first stories.
I go with themes that tend to arouse me
I go with themes that tend to arouse me also, just depends on my mood.

I usually search for words or in categories. Wife slut, cuckold, gang, dogging, humiliation! My faves!
First: Category
Second: Tags
Third: The one-liner
The first few paragraphs typically determine if I want to continue
reading the story. And sometimes, all I need are the first few
paragraphs to get my fill for the day, rate and/or comment.
Stories that the authors I like have favorited.
Stories of the authors I follow.
Recomendations from my friends.
Lately whenever I want something totally new and diferent, I use the random button... works wonders.
IF THE TITLE OR FIRST FEW SENTANCES DOESN'T GET MY ATTENTION......I MOVE ON
when i joined the lush i use to check love poems... then liked few writers and started checking their work..and few became my friends so when they publish i do read yes...
First thing, it depends on my mood. My mood tells me which category I want to read and then the title that draws my attention and if the first paragraph sounds interesting I'll read it all.
I also read stories from friends as well and people I'm following and if someone asks me nicely to give them an opinion on their story I'll read it too.
I pick regardless of author. If the story grabs me, I'll read it. Usually all that is needed is the first few lines. The title and one liner help too. Sometimes I see someone's forum post and decide to check out their profile and then realise that I have, in fact, read some of their stories and when that happens it's always a nice surprise.
1. Stories by the authors I follow. The follow function makes sure I don't miss stories by the authors I enjoy reading.
2. Stories by friends, but there is a lot of crossover between them and the authors I follow.
3. Stories that start with a great hook in the title, tags, one-liner, or first few lines, although I usually skip the stories in categories that seem to have few gems. I like novels.
I have got to know many authors so I read stories by people that I know write good ones. A well thought out title helps catch my eye. An interesting and intelligent teaser sentence that sounds interesting. If they are older stories the number of votes/comments and a good score get my attention. The genre is huge!
I do a combination of Buz and Gurlyboy. I have a slew of authors I follow so I get lots of email with such divine stories to read when I'm not able to log into lush.

My Dream my latest stopry
I read the authors I follow first and I just browse around.
I am working my way through my friends list and reading their stories. then I will read stories of people who follow me and those who have commented on my stories. I am also reading all the current competition stories.
if there are no new stories from the authors i follow, i usually check my fave categories, then look out for interesting taglines/ summary provided, or the first few lines.
I tend to read stories by female authors first. I usuallyfind them more erotic and arousing.
For me just scrolling and finding an interesting story title does the trick.
i pick the ones that pertain to me first
