The main purpose of the Volunteer Editor programmes (official and unofficial) is to help authors lick a story into shape before posting it.

I don't know how to interpert these comments?
Did I make a mistake in thinking that it was complementry to the Editor/Writer relationship?
Come on! a little fun is what it is all about.
Sorry if it seemed all one sided but all work and no play makes this just another deadful process.
Maybe I should have given the writer back somethig but I wanted it to be short and fun. Maybe I missed the mark. My scores are just 3.6 as of now and I had had hopes of more. My others stroies are doing much better, but they have a lot of poke and stroke,as LazyDays told me the score is more about the fucking and not the craft.
So to Editors, I had hoped to do you a little favor and make you smile, if I didn't my profound apoligies.

I realized that you were not criticising me. Thanks.
I wasn't mad, just confused by her reaction. It was so short and cryptic. At least to a literal minded Virgo like me.
I did get one comment on the story, negitive. A lady said she couldn't read it and gave up on it. I guess it doesn't "hook" the reader in the first paragraphs.
Maybe I should have started:
"As Robert's raging rectal reamer rammed my ass, I couldn't think of anything, certainly not back to the afternoon when my mail program broke my concentration with incessant 'bingley bong's'.
Would that have helped?

appeared as if you were asking editors to provide feedback/comments on a story already posted. Snooper simply stated that editors are accustomed to do it before a story post, not after.

I ask because I don't want to offend you. Thanks for trying to keep the forum civil.
I was a little surprised that none of you commented on the story, good bad or indiferently. I thought Editors read this section?
Snooper sorry about the gender misidentification. In an all text world it is difficult to see your slightly whiskerd chin or you bulging muscles.
SR71PLT, You suckered me into that[/I],
I did pass this by my Editor before posting it and was surprised that he found so few errors. I was happy with the story and posted it expecting some positive comments.
Alas it has only been read 1300 times in the two days it has been up, with only 8 scores, averaging 3.6,
I guess my Shagging Dog story "Spreading Seeds" had lulled me into delusions of adequacy because it has been scoring 4.18 to 4.7's for the 16 chapters that are up.
LazyDays did warn me that "not so erotic" stories didn't score well but I put it in Humor as it is not meant to be a Erotic masterpiece.
I currently have a story out for editing and fear that despite it's rather steamy body that the lead up to it will turn off a lot of readers looking for stroke material. Well I guess we have to allow for that.
Anyway I hope you read the story before you jump all over me again.
....I hope it didn't hurt too much; here's a to soothe the bo-bo.
