Yup that was it. Disappointed to see it never continued
Did you try and contact the author?

I will score and comment on stories as I want or time allows. If an author sent me a note asking me why I liked their story, I would probably ignore it as well because I would feel like they were giving me homework to do. Oh great, I just got assigned a book report to do. It would bug me.
Also, I have a few friends who've mentioned that they won't score/comment stories on specific genres (i.e., , crossdressing) because they don't want people to see what their preferences are. Just another thought.
Like everyone else said, appreciate the feedback that you do get! Good luck!

I try to keep my comments short in the space given. If I get a "thank you" for commenting, I ALWAYS reply. Usually, I'll extend my comments further. If there was something I didnt like, Id much prefer to say in private. Some people dont have time, others do, others might not have been back online since you sent your thanks. Take it with a grain of salt. People are sometimes busy, others have had their say and dont feel it necessary to comment further.

Well, I've chosen my first winner, Cheltenham! By virtue of evoking a fantasy very similar to one I already had, Cheltenham has inspired me to write first of what will hopefully be many other stories. The story is already written, but needs a bit of editing, first by me, and then by my "editor" (i.e. the hubby) before posting, but be watching for Taken on a Train to appear soon!

Wow, I've been away from Lush for a bit, and this is the first time I've gotten an email about responses to this thread. Yes I am still interested in writing these and I've already found several of the ideas inspiring. It will probably be several days before I have a chance to get started but expect a story soon.

Soulmates, Do they exist?
I know i have a soulmate, but he is untouchable. He is my partners best friend.
Do you have a soulmate, are you with them? and if not why?

One of the issues I often find when writing stories is how much should be left to the imagination. I'm particularly thinking about character descriptions, but the same principle could apply to a lot of different aspects of the story. For example, "she was 23 and had a hot body" may appeal to some readers because it leaves the them to imagine the physical qualities of that 23 year-old girl. Other readers may be less-imaginative and rather disappointed that the physical characteristics of the girl weren't described in detail. And yet other readers may be thrilled or disappointed that the detailed description of the girl either met or did not meet their expectations. Of course, the example uses a girl, but the same can equally apply to the description of a guy.
How important is it to you, the reader, to be told what to imagine rather than filling in the blanks?
To the authors, have you thought about this issue, and how do you deal with it?
