My friends, those who have read my stories, as you know by now they were all zapped, and still I have no word from the admin about it. I feel so bad because so many of you have expressed how much you enjoyed reading them. What do you think about me continuing to point you to the direction of the website where you can read them, no there is no money required to read them, it is free, just like I was putting them up here free. I could post just one paragraph from it, ask the discussion questions and add the link? What do you all think?

I think I have read somewhere that you belonged to the website Gather. I wonder if you can post your stories there, and at the same time get points for doing it. I was reading up at Gather that you should be able to get money now, once you reach a certain level, I don't know how it works, since I'm new there. If not, I would still love to read your stories, no matter where you post them.

my stories are all on gather, they have been for over two years, that would mostly likely be the link I would use or the link to my own e-zine. however you could always get money if you were american on gather I am not, I cannot get money, I can only get home depot gift certificates

After reading some more, I don't think I can get money either, unless I earn 50 dollars worth of points in a month. I don't see that happening either. I did a people search, using your name here, and I found you. I sent a friend request. So if MyLot decides to be rude and take your stories away, I can go to gather and read and respond. I think you get points when people respond. You might only get Home Depot gift cards, but you can get some nice things from there. Patio furniture, appliances of course, flowers, etc. I like their flowers and plants, better than Lowe's. So Home Depot gift cards isnt that bad.

Hi Rose sorry your stories got pulled it doesn't see fair considering some of the stuff that is allowed to clog up my lot. I believed your stories had a moral or a thought provoking quality and worth of discussions. so what is the reason mylot pulled them? have they told you? I would understand if you were publishing them for money but it isn't that way it is for reading and learning pleasure. Robin

my stories were everything personal experience psychology training etc. I think mylot did not like the personal stories, but they haven't answered me so I don't know exactly what the violation was.

I for got to add when I post a question or answer a post I would say that 99% of it is my personal experience or thinking, and is that not what your stories were? We all talk from our personal vantage point, we read, we think ,we react as to how we feel

I would not do the paragraph, or the link, for fear of getting zapped again. Put the link on your profile. Ask a question pertaining to the story, give an opinion yourself, and then point to your myLot profile as having the correct link.

we do the paragraph and link for all other articles, if the people do not read the story the discussions question have little value, and this whole thing is because people want to read the stories, or I can continue just doing stupid stuff, do you prefer pizza all dressed or plain? Where as the story centered around this question nobody would read, and that was what the people here wanted, to read my stories.

Hello winterrose, Well first of all i must introduce myself- Iam Tutul. I have heard a lot about u here in mylot. I know u r a fantastic writer and one of my friend Rhonda told me to read your book. Well i have tremendous respect for writers and would like to read your stories. If my lot is deleteing your stores then its very unfair. I think u got to write them about it. Cheers and take care, Tutul

I think it is a disgrace, what is the point of having a discussion forum that no one can discuss on. What harm was there in your stories, none as far as I can see and it makes me mad that this has happened to you, well to all of us that were enjoying reading them. These are some of the reasons that I have not been as active on here, not only have I seen your discussions deleted but on one day I saw a lot of another friends discussions deleted for no reason at all that I could see, and another friend too, they had some deleted. Then I see some discussions that should be deleted and yet they end up staying on here. There got that off my chest, I am really wound up with this site at the minute, can you tell!

i'd do exactly as i pleased. i think it was ridiculous they zapped them to start with. some of the silly stuff that people start discussiond on is outrageous anyway. at least yours was interesting & made sense.

I wrote to Mylot but never received any word back. I am sorry this had to happen to you and your stories they were the best. I think that is a fabulas idea winterose. I would love to continue to read more of your stories and other stuff.

I'd love that rose, I often follow links even if I don't respond to the discussion. I often read your stories from my email anyway.

I like to tell you you are so famous and i think you have to keep it up but if you are going to upload it for free some one will use it as on his own name i think its not good pplz have to buy books beacuse in this way writer also get benifited and realizes its worth. Worth not in maeans of money but in terms of social status. As i told u earlier in my private msgs to you about your book which my teacher recommended me i have bought it its very costly in my country and now i am studying it your written words have an impression on readers mind soo keep it up but not for free.

the second book is not for free, it will never be put up on any site, that one is also a very good book you may like as well.

If that will be ok with mylot I see that it would be the thing to do. I have not heard back from mylot either on this or about not being able to send private messages. My private message might work every one out of 20 times.

Just post the exact link, then ask the discussion question(s). I already went in Zinester.com, then Storytime_Tapestry Archives to check you out. What a great site. I also saw your book on Amazon.com, but don't want to order just one book at this time - I usually order a whole bunch in order to save postage/ handling. When I return next Fri. from my vacation in the Poconos, I will join, since I like to read what other writers have to say. (I call myself a writer, but I've only had one book published, and the copyright is over.)

I personally know that your intentions are pure, but sadly a lot o websites like MyLot do not see it that way. I would have no problem with you pointing us in the right direction, but MyLot might. I really don't want to see your account get zapped. I know that you have a link to Story Time Tapestry in your MyLot Proile, and that's OK. If you have more than one website to maintain, I suggested you start a website featuring each of your websites, and put that on your MyLot Proile. Maybe publish updates and blog type things here on MyLot with no reerence to links, rather "my URL can be ound on my MyLot profile" I know it's not fair, since I know your intentions, but sites like MyLot have to treat everyone equally. Sadly if they let you "get away with it" they'll be opening the door to spammers. I really hate the way bad apples have ruined so many barrels.

that won't work, with 300 stories, you have to have the right link to for the discussion questions, it is the link to the actual story or nothing.

I didn't realise that Mylot had deleted those. I am sorry about that. Someone else said that they were afraid to post their stories at Mylot too. I really didn't see anything wrong with posting them since you made an actual discussion out of them. I'm not sure if Mylot would even accept the paragraph either now.

I won't put them up to get deleted again, I will write mylot and ask them if it is okay first.
