Actually, this is a voting security feature. During public voting, only club members can read posts submitted for that contest. Since anyone reading the story is able to vote (click the Like button), we reserve these capabilities to members who SignIn. Before we implemented this security feature, people were voting multiple times and making the public voting process unfair and out of balance. To fix this, our staff finally decided to allow only members who SignIn to read the stories. Membership is free and easy, and ensures our club is safe, secure, and family-friendly!

You’re very welcome and I agree completely with you.
Hi Rebecka, I loved the way you bring the reader into the class room. They say the first lines of a story should carry the reader through to read more, well you did just that with the words – traded a kidney just to get out. I was hooked then. Well written.

The first, right lines can be very tricky to come up with, I really appreciate your comment on this. Sometimes it arrives in the mind, effortlessly and other times.. it just gets stuck. I’m glad this gave you a pleasant read!
