ok, in the interest of fostering better relations here, please explain to me where i went wrong in this thread or which comment(s) were out of line. and no, i am not trying to be sarcastic or taking the piss out of you. i'd seriously like to know.
Some people are never happy. I wouldn't waste your time with MsTrib.
A new member asked for help coming up with a story title, a whole bunch of people chipped in with some really cool ideas, and then the member deletes her account. The reason she gave, if anyone is interested, is that 'everyone on Lush is a poser'.
And apparently that is the fault of the moderators...
*yawn*

Is that a pre-selectable option on a pull-down menu?
lol. It's just above the 'no one will have cyber sex with me' option.

Typical, go tell Nicola! Again!
I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
If you want to message Nicola, please feel free. I'm sure she'll have a good chuckle.

There was nothing argumentative or controversial in this thread to cause anyone to leave. In fact it had been a cordial and constructive thread. The leaving must've been over something personal with another member.

no. i never claimed it does. but, since i seem to take the brunt of criticism here every time a mod says something that is construed as crass, i think it's only natural that i put in my two cents.
Are you the only moderator on here?
once again, no. I also took a look at the other mods comments and didn't see a issue with anything said. Liz's gif was posted after the OP made rude comments about several other lush member (which isn't visible in this thread) before deleting.
Why take my comment personally?
because after a while of constant criticism, push back, and having to deal with trolls while attempting to be able to enjoy the site as a member as well, perhaps i have grown to be a bit sensitive.
Feeling guilty?
not in the least. i'm not perfect, but i think that the good i do here, and the way i treat people with respect outweighs those moments when i make bad choices or the occasional epic fail that i will readily admit to.

i have. like i said, i'm not perfect, but i think the good outweighs the bad, as i have just said. i do realize that i am expected to live up a higher standard. guess what? i'm not always capable of it. there are times when i need to be able to take off my mod hat and actually enjoy the site as a member. if people have an issue with that, perhaps i should rethink my involvement here?

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
alert.

Perhaps? But why do people feel the need to make fun of the person who left?
It just feels so cruel
why does the person leaving feel the need to insult the membership of lush? that seems pretty mean spirited to me. *shrugs*

I'm like Buz (YIKES!!!)
A title comes to me, and then the story line follows.
Sometimes though, the title is part of, or gets shortened from, a line of dialogue that popped into my head and caused the story to evolve.

"There's only three tempos: slow, medium and fast. When you get between in the cracks, ain't nuthin' happenin'." Ben Webster
I've only ever had one story be a title first around which I wrote a story, or which inspired a story. (Soccer-Mom experience) I've had brilliant title ideas to write stories for but the stories never got good enough to get finished.
Usually it's a struggle to come up with something good once the story is done.
I don't think I'm particularly good at titles.
(Some say I'm not particularly good at stories either, but that's a fish for a different compliment.)

Oh, wow, another crass forum with Moderators taking the pure piss out of someone!
Maybe that's why they've left?
Just banging that out there to the super duper moderators!
The moderators here are volunteers, last I checked, and donate their time and efforts towards keeping Lush the premier literary erotica site that it is. Don't like a moderator? Please, I beseech you, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
The OP deleting her account is quite likely due to some other interaction with some other Lush member(s). Whatever. It's not about Sprite, nor about any other moderator.
As to the original question, my story titles are almost always either double entendres (as in Double Oxer) or are taken from the story itself--although I tend to have a working title for whatever before I even begin writing.

Oh the OP has gone but I can't believe no one suggested "Baby got back-ache"...

*shrugs* i'm getting to the point where i'm just going to stop posting. some days, logging into lush is like stepping into a live minefield - between the public posts, the PMs, and the BBs - it gets old after a while and honestly, i don't really need this shit these days.

Big hugs to Sprite who is a Lush icon, to the membership and to her fellow mods. She is a constant source of inspiration to the mod team, having picked up our spirit more times than I can say. And anyone who has been here awhile knows of the countless posts of writing tips to Lush authors. She is a huge source of inspiration to me personally.
Now, on story titles. You will discover, the more you write, what works best for you. We're all unique individuals and we work differently. Have fun with it and keep striving to be even better.

I agree with this post 100%. I may not be a "lush Icon," but I love sprite comments they make me smile. So yes 100% agreed.
As for the Story title. Seriously? I write the story out and sit there reading and think of what is the story core function. If that makes sense.
