Oh I'm sorry. You've all read his mail so you must know how many letters he's gotten asking why there's a hole in her costume or if it was just to show cleavage.

Guess that teaches me not to underestimate your psychic abilities.

The hole was, I believe, first drawn there by Wally Wood.  Wood, God bless his soul, was a notorious titman.  The story goes that he drew her breasts larger each issue, to see how much he could get away with.  So the reason there's a hole is to show cleavage.  Most Power Girl fans know that story.

Thanks for playing.

I don't know – I think it's pretty likely they'll put the Charmed heads on the bodybuilder bodies.  Otherwise it makes no sense at all.

The karma system doesn't kick in until you have made 10 posts. I am assuming this was done to prevent people from just registering an account and going around Ninja Smiting people.

Bingo.

I looked at one of applications for it earlier in the year.  If we could find one that worked with SMF (our board script), I'm still not sure I could find away around the risk of user sessions expiring while people were working on their sketches.

That's excellent, Kulli.

These are all good, but please keep in mind that since I can only assign a story to one category, the categories have to be clear. 

Maybe I should tell you about the way the content management system works?  Each story has to be assigned to a category.  It can also be assigned to a sub-category.  In addition, there are other "properties" that can be assigned to each story, including characters, language, genre, warning(s) and ratings. 

What I chose to do at the outset, but we're not so far along that I can't do it over, was to assign story types to category.  So "Female Muscle Growth" is a category, and the genres I picked are Encounters, Fanfic, Fantasy, Realistic and Science Fiction.  We can attach multiple genres to a story.

I'm wondering now if I didn't get it backwards.  Maybe FMG should be a genre, and "Science Fiction" should be a category?  Or maybe "Transformations" should be a category and then the genres should things like FMG, MMG, Science Fiction, etc. I'll need to look into how this is used at other sites, but if any readers have experience in information architecture or library science, I'd appreciate any advice you could offer.

I doubt that practical myostatin blockers would have their most dramatic effect on elite bodybuilders – for the most part such people already have low myostatin levels as part of their genetic "gift".  Where you'd see real change is in the frequency of muscular women in society.  Lots of people (men and women) would like to have bodybuilder-sized muscles without putting in the time and attention to diet that's required.  Practical myostatin blockers would make it possible for average people to develop much more muscular physiques.  (It would also likely shorten their lifespans.)

I don't think people mind paying for things if they're worth paying for.

I just saw this post.  You're going to have to give me more data – what you're running it on, etc.

Do you know I've been writing stories or running sites for about a decade now, and it has yet to get me laid?  I have to go and find sex partners on my own time.
