How long does lipstick generally last?
pittwitch and 4 others reacted to BronxWench for a topic
If you’re using it 2-3 times a day on lips, a month or so. If you’re writing critiques of your neighbor’s parking on the windshield, less than a week.5 points -

Maybe getting one character getting the other’s name slightly wrong? Something that’s eerily similar to another’s name?3 points -

Maybe she rubs an ice cube over her lover's lips before they kiss, and afterward says, "Mmm, I love them cold." This would be especially pause-worthy if she works in a morgue or a funeral home.3 points -

Hi, all. … would spreading your newspaper across her shoulder-blades to read while engaging in the act be a bit too much? Or perhaps using her breasts to prop up your smartphone but not using it for the camera? Cheers!3 points -

Funny titles or more accurate titles?
WarrenTheConey and one other reacted to Deadman for a topic
I just can’t seem to stop having ideas for some reason. But I’m running into a bit of a problem. I’ve been thinking about the title for this new idea and I’m not sure which way to go. Whether I should go with a kinda funny title or a more accurate title. For context, it centres around a play on the main character’s name. One is a bodily function and the other is a physical action. If I go with the bodily function, people might expect certain things in the story. But if I go with the more accurate title, it won’t necessarily be as funny and people might be less inclined to read it. What do you think?2 points -
Funny titles or more accurate titles?
Deadman and one other reacted to WarrenTheConey for a topic
The way I title anything I write, is with some type of reference to the story or some part of it's content. I like to give the reader as many hints as I can, about what my story will entail. I personally believe, that a title which is in some way faithful to the story’s content, will garner you at least, some good grace with a reader, even if, for whatever reason, they choose to avoid reading that story. However, I don't see any reason why an accurate title, can't also include a bit of humor. Maybe you should try 'playing around with' the two potential titles, just to see if it's possible to add whatever you feel is missing from them. But if you absolutely can't bear to change them, take a look at both and then pick the one that 'feels' best to you in that moment; As they say, the first response is usually the correct one.2 points -

Sending hugs your direction, titles can be the bane of authors. (readers should feel lucky it’s not “TBD” all the way through...) More seriously, I’d suggest simply using that “new idea title” temporarily until you figure out what you actually want to do. I typically start with a temporary “working title” until I get a ways into the chapters, when I can refine it later. Maybe the main character’s name, or some other central theme, or a key word/phrase. (ie, for Jefferey, it’s the main character. For Repair Guy, it was a spin on a common trope.)2 points -

Hi, Deadman. The reference is to “Cold Ethyl” by Alice Cooper. If your story is BTVS, that’s even better. To paraphrase Hall and Oates, “Some chicks are better left undead...” Cheers?2 points -

Characters and . . . Clothing?
Deadman reacted to Desiderius Price for a topic
If the characters are nude, the whole question vanishes Typically, I keep it short on descriptions, color (or pattern), the garment, and not usually everything either. However, sometimes when details matter, I’ll mention them more often (ie, canary yellow jeans). Sometimes, you simply don’t bother, the character’s been described enough that you can kinda leave it to the readers imagination too.1 point -

How long does lipstick generally last?
BronxWench reacted to Deadman for a topic
I’ve been trying to look this up but get very vague answers. It’s part of a story I’ve been working on. More often than not, what I read is “several hours” or “last for hours”. The most I can find is 6 or 8 hours. But that’s usually from sales websites and things like that. Not clear if it’s actually real or not. Whether it can be longer or shorter.1 point -

Actually, given how often we lick our lips, or drink a beverage, or eat, lipstick on lips will go away faster.1 point -

It’ll smear nicely, especially on sheets and clothing, and if it’s just subject to skin on skin contact, it’ll smear on both (or more) parties before it gets rubbed off.1 point -

Actually, the moisturizer in the lipstick itself. However, sweat, or drinking liquids/eating food is going to wear the lipstick away faster.1 point -

Been FOREVER!!!! The Blackadder is back!
Wilde_Guess reacted to TheBlackadder for a topic
Seriously been forever since I’ve been here! I did a lot over at A03 when I was the admin of two Round Robin groups and dozens of stories with daily updates just took me away from my own stuff. About the only stories I was working on were group collaborations. THEN in Feb 2018 I had my son. Any Hiddlestoners out here? My son was Born Feb 8th and his first name is William. Only Hiddlestoners will understand the significance Well, my son is 6 and attends school now, and I care-take and house keep for my parents in exchange for my son and I living with them. I’m having a few hours a day having an existential crisis that I turned 42 when I wasn’t looking and rather go back to writing but I want to gather, clean up, and beta some of my old stories. How do I do that? Just start a new story and transfer it one chapter at a time? Or do I start a whole new account and transfer from there? I”m open to suggestions.1 point -

Wilde_Guess reacted to BronxWench for a topic
BLACKADDER!!! I’m emailing you the links to reactivate your account. There’s been some changes to the archive, as you might have noticed, but once you get used to them, it’s really quite smooth. (Well, aside from a few lingering glitches, but we’re working on those, I promise!) We updated most of the FAQs for the archive, but once you’ve reactivated, you should have no trouble editing your stories, adding chapters, and so on, as well as adding new stories. And if you run into an issue, give a shout!1 point -
Not knowing the characters makes it hard to know how they would react to a 'slight' of any kind. That being said, any mention of a broken promise during a 'make up', would probably turn into an argument or fight. So that should be avoided at all costs. Your best bet, at least I think, would be to show one fully engaged and committed to their love making, and to have the other show the slightest sign that they are not equally engaged. It would have to be something that can easily played off as nothing, like rolling her eyes at a sweet little declaration of love, or maybe letting out a noticeable sigh when she's asked to do something physical.1 point

writing about breasts
Desiderius Price reacted to BronxWench for a topic
Okay, that's a decent list, actually, and you'll notice that there is NO fruit mentioned at all. This is GOOD. We are not a salad bar, after all. You have two of your women being C cup, and that measurement, 36 and 42, refers to the band, or the part of the bra that wraps around the body. I'm going to assume those are inch measurements, since we're talking adult women here. 42 inches for a band is a woman with a wide back and a broad build. If that's what you're going for, that's great, but... Marilyn Monroe wore a 36D. Salma Hayek is a 36C. Kim Kardashian is a 32DD. Katy Perry is a 32D. So, you see, it's the cup size that's the fullness of the breast, not the band. For visuals, read this. As I said in the shoutbox, and I'll repeat it here for any other curious authors, I myself prefer not to be told a specific size for breasts, or for penises. I have a terrific imagination. That's why I'm a writer, because I have all these imaginary worlds and people in my head. So, give my imagination something to do when I'm reading. If you describe breasts as "lush," I'm going to have an image in my head that is pleasing and sexy. If you tell me the breasts are 36DD, I'm going to start thinking about how I should probably check and see if Victoria's Secret is having any good sales, or maybe I can look online... and you've lost me. I'm shopping, not reading your story. Engage your readers by engaging their imaginations, not by writing a catalog.1 point -
Something weird going on with the television section?
kagome26isawsome reacted to Deadman for a topic
For a couple of days I’ve noticed some weird things. It’s become French for some reason. My browser offers the option to translate it but it doesn’t seem to work. However, I’ve gone to other sections and it’s all in English. So it seems to be specific for the television option. I’m adding a screenshot to show what is at issue.0 points
