Liz that sounds delicious. Will have to try it. 
Hi there Curvy.
Finally a rainy day. After 2 weeks of 90+ degree weather it is finally bearable.
I'll just grab a coffee and rush back to try and complete my next story. A follow up to my semi steampunk, story.
Have a great day all. Tonya when you get here this is for you.q4Cupb6ZQE292MhO

The randy vicar Tobias finally finds his match. This lovely historical series by the wondrous and talented CurvyGalore has rightfully received an Outstanding Series Award.
A wonderful historical romance of the tribulations of Tobias, a vicar in a small town; his brother, the drunk; and his mother, who wants to get him married to the right woman. Tobias, however, has other ideas and keeps meeting interesting women who are not averse to the occasional flirtation and tryst with him.
Congratulations, Curvy, for this tour de force!
The saga starts here:
The Tribulations of Tobias By A Lady: Earthly Bounties

Late to this party too! The thread title is happy birtay, which I didn't understand until I realized the "hd" was missing, clearly because you are so high definition yourself. Okay, that was a long and convoluted path to a birthday greeting, but it's been a long and convoluted day. I sincerely hope you have a wonderful you-day.
That's what happens when you create these threads late at night.uuTt6OFrRT8SmltL

Join me in wishing a happy Birthday to TonyaL.
You can usually find her in the morning in Rumps being the same person she is in real life. Making the place neat and around the coffee maker.
Tonya is a warm friendly person and a devoted mother and friend.
She is also a prolific writer when she has the time. 42 stories and poems. Four of which are recommended reads and one editors pick. She wrote a poem that is one of the few poems to reach famous status.
She has been my friend for many years. Please join me in wishing her all the joy in the world on this day and for years to come.4K4nmyASGGcIiB4G

A huge thanks fuzzy for this. My first story was also rejected by Her Regal Highness Sprite, I happened to go back to it last month to see how my writing has changed. The difference is night and day. If she had not rejected it I would not have put in the effort I did in perfecting my writing.

Curious that this topic should appear. Usually an indication of a systemic problem. Several years ago I submitted a few stories here. They were under my copyright, of course. They had been published in other forums with outstanding reviews. All had gone through a vetting process. I still get emails from fans to this day which surprises me. The stories I wrote are not stories per se, but experiences from real life, just the way they happened and from my extremely good memory, lol. One, then a second, of these stories was submitted. I immediately ran into an "editor". I did not mind, not at all. Different publishers have different standards, not always consistent, even from one editor to another in the same forum. I worked with the Lush editor exchanging messages and making changes. One of the stories was published although I felt uneasy with the end result. With the second, as the editor made more changes, I realized that she was changing the substance of the story and it was not the same story that embodied my own style and what had made all my stories so popular. In addressing this to the most senior person I found my reasoning falling on deaf ears. At that point I realized, to put it frankly, Lush needed me much more than I needed them. I pulled my story from lush and went my own way. No yelling or screaming, lol. I look at an editor as someone who can help me make my experience/story better. Not change it into something that changes the original intent. I haven't been interested in publishing anything here since then. I see that nothing has really changed.
Every so often I go to the story sections and read one or two. Sorry to say this but the stories seem to have been written by the same person. A result in the editing process? To the aspiring authors out there, if you really want to write something that is "you", I can only advise you to be true to yourself, do not let someone change who you are. Find an editor that will make your own self "better". Not change you into someone your not.
Good luck.
I must say that I find you are perhaps jaundiced in your view. I for one have never had a story changed, by an editor as you call them, where either for the style, the content, or the flavor of my offering where the result was different than the one I intended. In addition as probably one of those who reads the most stories on this site, the stories vary in quality from ho hum to mini masterpieces. You might try reading some of the authors who are awarded recommended reads or editor picks. They are easy enough to find.
Lastly as one of those so called editors I never try to alter the persons meaning intent or his personal flavor unless that person is outside of the rules of grammatical usage or is violating one of our published content rules.

Awe thank you Tonya
