  1. The search engine will be upgraded. Right now, if the coder were to implement it, it would break the code and crash the site. That's why we haven't done that. Once she has found the issue and 'fixed' it, then it can be added in.

    I don't know what exactly it will allow, but I do know it's supposed to be far more flexible than what we have now.

  2. Then again, some people won't be as quick to put up a personal referral for really controversial material. Too bad there isn't an anonymous setting where the referral for a story can be under ones pen name, or under an anonymous tag at the start of a category so to say. Then, if a story gets a lot of referrals, a check mark of some sort could be added beside the title to indicate that the story is liked a lot. If it is a very dark and controversial topic, people will not feel exposed in giving it a referral in such cases.

    And therein it is no different than the rating system. It would still be abused - referring more on friends' stories thereby causing other stories to get ignored. We've even had cases of authors on site creating separate profiles in order to rec their own works, boosting their review counts leaving accolades, bumping rates, etc.

    You are correct that there is no perfect system. I do like the idea of knowing how many times a story has been recommended. I also like knowing the identity of those who recommended it - not because it outs their interests (because if I'm looking, I'm interested too, right?), but because I know I share interests in writing style and composition with some users that I don't share with others, even if we read in the same sections.

    I also know that if something's tagged BDSM and it's recommended by pittwitch, then it's got material in it that's reliable - because I know she knows her BDSM. Same with Bronx. But if it's recommended by someone whose BDSM stories have made me cringe and run for the hills due to their inaccuracies, then I know I'm probably not going to like it.

  7. Like Rogue, I did C-Section because I couldn't go into labor. As in no labor pains at all, whatsoever, for 24 hours after the water broke and they tried everything they could to induce it with nothing working.

    Just to give you a bit of background on mine, I don't think we'll ever know if I could have gone into labor. Though he was born premie, my child weighed over eight pounds and was over twenty inches long. There were several reasons for the C-section, though.

    Where Dany couldn't be induced and Bronx's was unscheduled, my OB never tried to induce, and I was scheduled.

    I had gestational diabetes, and one of the things that this will cause for the carried infant is elongated limbs. What this meant for him was that he ran out of room quicker than he should have. The doc had wanted to do the C-section in September and I told him no, not until he did an amniocentesis test. I insisted on it, because I needed to be sure my baby would be able to breathe once he was born. The first one came back negative, and at that time, he still had enough room inside that the OB judged he'd have another month. I went to the doc weekly for stress tests at minimum - others if he felt they were warranted.

    They did ultrasounds about every 10 days. When it finally appeared he was completely out of room, the doc said I needed to go ahead and go across the street to the hospital and get prepped for surgery. I told him he was doing another amnio before he was putting me under the knife. He tried. The needle went in, and came back with blood. My child has a scar on his leg that he was born with because of that, actually. It's a very small nick on his shin, which he finds amusing because it nearly matches the one on my own left leg.

    He called over to the hospital and they scheduled me for the next day. (I won't go into the nightmare about the hospital at this point. If you want to get those details when you get closer to writing about your character's delivery, I can share them then. :) )

    At this point, my baby was still breach.

    There are moments in your life where terror grasps your heart and time seems to stop. The entire experience that day was one of those moments. But I will tell you that the most beautiful sound I have ever heard in my entire life was the sound of my baby crying that day. Because that meant he could breathe.

    We ain't doing that bit again, no way, no how, forget it!

    LMAO - and I for one don't blame you at all!

    Melrick, I hope your mum gets good dinners from you lot every year. ;)

  8. pittwitch - You flatter me and honor me. I am very grateful that you liked the story.

    It was an excellent challenge, I must say. Feel free to give me another some time, but I can't promise it won't take another year before I can fulfill it. :blush:

    In all seriousness, if there's anything I can do to make this one better, let me know of course. :hug:
