The 'How To' Contest Support Thread

[Aurora Black]

The subject was great, but there is no way I can write a 750 How-To on it...

Oh well...

Damn.

 

[Aurora Black]

Oh, how sweet. The trolls have a problem because I have the gall to write about something non-sexual. Yes, someone should take me outside and put a bullet to me right now before I... *gasp* EDUCATE someone!

The last time I checked, I didn't have the power to force anyone to click on my stuff if it wasn't their cup of tea. Maybe there's a mental condition where one of the symptoms is "excessive clicking for the sole purpose of bitching."

Time to call the NIMH so they can update the Big Book.

I just wanted to thank everyone who gave me support when I asked about the contest. I have decided that I am not going to enter because I've just got lot's of shitty real life stuff to tend to and don't have the brain space for writing at this time.
I do, however, plan on writing the two ideas I have at a later date and I'm sure I'll need opinions and such!
I'll try to make time to read all of your submissions and let you know what I think of them!
Thanks again.

There's more to Lit than just sex. To me, anyway. Tough tit, folks.

I was thinking I scared you off.

I agree, I have found my work becoming less and less sexual as it goes one, with the focus being put into the characters, and into the plot.

Yawn.

yawning at me?

God no! Thanks for the feedback, by the way. I completely forgot about the people needing a checkup before leaving.

welcome... there are so many things, a short text can not say them all, i suppose... i just thought that one was important, because i had to think of this danish woman that was traveling in peru with us for a while... my mom came to visit me, and on the flight she had met this woman who asked her if she can travel a bit with her, because she was a first time traveler and nervous. she had decided spontaneously to go to peru, because she had seen a movie about machu picchu, but appearantly hadn't done any of the thigns you adviced to. like, she probably hadn't even read a single book about peru. she was nervous and scared, but at the same time hadn't met the normal precautions (like, if i don#t feel secure about a place, i book the hotel or hostel for the first few days in advance, just so i already know where i am going when i arrive)... so, she didn't have any vaccinations, she didn't have any health insurance, she didn't know how to get anywhere, she had never heard of altitude sickness (and she got it basically before we even got to any real altitude) etc. etc. ... well, she traveled with us for the first week and a half, so since i was "guide" for my mother, i was for her too, so she had it all organized by me... after that she went on with some other people we met on the way... hm, wondering how things went after that, she wanted to travel for quite a while, hope she learnt quickly and is well...

True. I really didn't want the guide to be more than one Lit page.

Is it true that some people die from climbing mountains too high and too fast? I mean, does altitude sickness actually kill?

Yes, I think it can and does ...

as far as i know it really can. from what i read, above 2500 or 3000 meter, you shouldn't go up more than 1000 meter in two days. especially if you are physically very active. most tours up mountains go quicker than that though, i think... i met someone in arequipa who had gone on a tour up the misti volcanoe, and the whole group had to turn around, because he got altitude sickness. from how he described it, it was pretty bad, like he vomited, and could hardly walk... in the worst cases it can lead to pulmonary or cerebral edema (water in the lungs, or the brain swells, afaik).

there is medication you can take beforehand, to make the risk less high you get it, but basically best advice (especially if you fly directly to a high altitude is) to take it really easy the first few days, eat very lightly, no drinking, no sex (or other exercise), coca tea or chewing coca leafs if in peru or bolivia or similar... also someone told me that after arrival you could go to bed right away, and lie there for a while with no pillow under your head, but rather under your feet...

personally, i didn't have real altitude sickness, though i got sick on my second night in cusco due to heavy food (omlette) - which was connected to the altitude, digestion works slower... i once got a headache from a hike at a higher altitude, and i'd sometimes notice digestion problems, but fortunately, never anything that really got in the way of doing things - but i've also seen people who got very sick, or feverish, etc.

sorry... this got a bit long... erm... i think i should go to bed now, i am already in a state of tiredness where my fingers just keep typing without me noticing it.

Looks like my How To is not going to make it - been held up for a day Might have to resort to Plan B - How To Get Lucky (no... not THAT Lucky) else Vella would be writing it.

Oh hell and damnation!!!!! GRR.

It's not over yet

Just a reminder that we have until June 6 to enter for the How-To contest.

That is nearly THREE WEEKS so you have plenty of time to think of an idea and get writing.

There must be many more How-To projects out there that could startle the Literotica world. Where are they?

I think I need to write one on 'How to get a tablet down a reluctant cat's throat'. My wife and I have more injuries than the cat had in the first place.

Og, please remind me how one gets the Last Place award...
