Interesting. I just got an email for your last that time also. My very first two. But off-topic.
How about these emails, Sol?

I've inserted scenes in almost all of my Romance novels depicting intense love and sex between consenting adults. I see nothing wrong with that, and I try my best to make it tasteful and certainly nothing more than what I've read what some of the more popular authors of the day put in their bestsellers. I also see no need for gratuitous sex just for the heck of it, or to enhance a chapter I feel is lagging. Violent or illegal sex might be alluded to, but will not detail it and only use it if it is a critical turning point in the story.
Everything I've read in this thread seems just fine to me. Janet, you and Rebecca both presented scenarios that I found delightful and easy to read.

Too much time has elapsed to edit. My last question should really be changed to this:
I can now see the box over on the right that reflects new posts in the Premium group (mine included), but once I've read them, shouldn't the notifications go away? My other objection is that clicking the link takes me to the very first post in the thread. This thread, which is (so far) 8 pages long makes for a lot of clicking to find just what the 'new' post is.
EDIT: I have since found out that if I log out and them immediately log back in, the links to posts in the Forums (that I have read) are now gone. They should really go away after a simple refresh of my home page.

Well, this was unexpected: I received an email just now notifying me of your response, Jack. Didn't appear on my home page because I can't find any category that reflects "Form posts".
Tom
I don't know if this is a bug or not, but shouldn't I be receiving email notifications whenever someone replies to a thread I've posted in?
Tom
Oh my. I am sorry I haven't checked back in on my own thread. For some reason, I haven't been receiving any emails that anyone has posted here. I'm subscribed, so shouldn't I be getting them?
Tom
Thanks for the reply, Dags. I began long ago with chapters nearing the 5000-word limit but found that a lot of commenters said it was too long for one sitting. That's when I chopped them in half (or thereabouts). Now, I write chapters so that they break naturally around 1200-1500 words. I don't think that it's a rule either, but more a matter of common sense. Nobody wants to push their way through 5000 words before making a comment because that inevitably leads to scanning back and forth looking for points to comment on.
Tom
On several other writing sites I have seen chapters that seem to go on forever. Not so much poetry, which tends to be a lot shorter, but novels and even "short" stories. I try to keep my chapters mostly from 1000 to 2000 words and short stories from 1500 to 2500 words. Is that excessive, or about right? I don't want to start off here on the wrong foot.
Tom
Howdy, all. I have quite a few romance novels over on Booksie, but just starting out here. Is it acceptable to transfer novels from there to here? If not, I can understand it completely.
