Btw, all this mention of food shaped like genitalia reminds me of a trip I went on recently to see http://www.puppetryofthepenis.com/ which was a similar kind of thing, except it involved genitalia being shaped into various interesting shapes such as the loch ness monster and a hamburger. Highly recommended :)

Ooh, what does that mean? Will it be soon?

She doesn't have a firm (ahem) schedule set beyond the 10th. Test Post is when the formatters have it set up the way we expect the story to look at go live. All 25 of us go through and discuss errors (typos missed, extra/missing spaces, issues with the photo). Then the editor goes back to the author for final approval and after that, the story is RTP and Jen will put it on the schedule. I think she emails the authors a week ahead of time so they can alert their fans.

Oh Danni, leave it to you to ruin our fun by bringing your high class intelligentsia and prim and proper theatrical shows into the conversation. The scientifically academic portrayal of the "Fruit Bat" was so terribly cultured it went way overmy the actor's head.
Oh it so nice not to be moderator and be responsible for links to adult material. I would have had to delete your message and now as an ordinary member I can celebrate it while Macky has to decide what to do with this violation of the rules. <-grin->

Forgot that I had my large monitor set up for editing and the kids came home. Just as I clicked on the video. I'm afraid to check out the mobile apps.
I hereby complain that I'm doing another book giveaway. This time the prize is an e-copy of Roger Kean's most recent e-book What's A Boy Supposed to Do The contest ends on June 14th 2013. The winner will be announced promptly thereafter or whenever I get around to it.

The winner will be chosen the same way we did it last February (i.e. selected at random by drawing an entrant's name out of a hat. Actually the hat will be a baseball cap because that's the only kind of hat I own.)

I almost forgot this important food group: fungi.

I already used my Dirty D title with the Drag books.
In the spirit of complaining I'd like to lodge a complaint that some people have to much time on their hands. Meaning, I got nine one star and some two star ratings from socket puppet accounts today on Dirty Boys which did lovely things to my average rating.

Oh crap. That sucks the big one Kyle. Very sorry you've been attacked by these malicious ghosts.

This year I have been far more choosy about the books I read and most of my reading has been 3 - 5 stars. I think reviews are helpful because they might explain what the reader has experienced but only if they are constructive reviews.
Sorry to hear that Kyle and Roger, I agree with Roger that the reviewer should not give a low rating just because something does not appeal to them, I seen that with books that have mpreg and the reader should have found out of the detail before Reading the book, it is unfair to give one a one Star just because of that and not read the story.
I complain because the MRI have done something to my left hip and leg, it hurt so much and the feeling in my hip and leg is not right. I hurt all over my body and it seem that the pain are getting worse for every day I need to wait before my next meeting.
Now I need to take 3 pain killers just to get through the day, even the pain killers does only help with the last pill. I always tired and sleepy, never seem to get enough sleep and sweating due to pain.
I can not even go 40m so much pain do I have, this is really feeling long 15 days before I see my doctor and hopefully begin biological medicin again.
I hope reading books and cooking will help me to get new energy and be happy.

This is really

Helle, sweetie. This too shall pass. Hang on.

I am sending nasty frowny vibes to all those people with nothing better to do with their lives than petty stuff like that.
Macky, I regret to say that I cannot see your picture although I'm sure it's absolutely
What did you Google for it to come up with that? It reminds me of the time my gran told me that she was 'on the internet. You can find me under K' like it was just some great, big phone directory or something!
I've only just realised that I want to complain about Gabbo's avatar pic which makes him out to be a grumpy, green giant instead of the awesome sexy bootylicious guy that he is.

I'm purple with more than rage and only have to say to Kyle:
Hun, don't pay attention to such haters. No one-star worth its weight in salt comes without a written review. These little nuisances are but sad attempts of lesser minds to curtail your creativity and freedom. Be strong and don't let these entities diminish your intellect and awesome writing style.

I will find your reward picture though , so watch this space! I agree we need sexy porn king Gabbo on his Avi... puurrrrr! rrrawwwr and Woot!

It is because we are an open group probably. I know if you don't keep your personal profile private then it can be googled. Reviews aren't private either.

Ahh. I thank you oh wise woman and knowledgable seeress ( is that a word?) of all things complainy



I also googled and you are the first website that comes up. Well done Macky :). You've done the Complaints Dept proud :)

@Danni and Macky: Honest to god, ladies (can we complain using the word god?) the green hulking giant thing is to fend off stalkers.


Helle, my sympathies. Hope the pain retreats soon.
As for ratings: I have given two star ratings, but I also try to give reasons in my reviews for doing so. I tend to rate on how much I enjoyed the book and the author's style and content and even language. For example: my review of J.R. Ward's Lover Reborn.

So sorry this happened to you, Kyle--I've been feeling very bummed out lately by this strange spirit of meanness that seems to have taken over the ratings wars, deliberate cruelty. Makes me want to go into the forest and sit in the middle of a circle of redwoods. No internet, no people. Or there is always the Sonoran desert. Probably not a good solution but I hate feeling like there are people out there who mean me harm, even if it's just harm to a career, or a book. By extension it still feels like a personal attack.

Registering complaint that I've loved Kyle's books for years [I have 'Fighters' under the original title] and apparently haven't put all that I've read on my shelves. Nor did I post any reviews, although I did start two.
A few nights ago, I tried shelving books. Got bogged down on some: was this book romance or was it porn or purely trash?

The cool thing about the shelves the ability to put books on multiple shelves at once, so you're not limited by shelf title. I do it all the time.

So do I.

That's terrible, Lucas, you'll never grow into a Super Dumb Jock or get curly hair like Boyd if you don't eat your Five A Day of fruit and veg. Which I guess means Ocular Sweetie Boyd eats nothing but veggies.
