Hello fellow authors,
I was just wondering what the longest story that you have written. Poppet and I collaborated on a 14 chapter novella called Tea and Strumpet. It ended up being around 55K words in length, not counting disclaimers and lead-in lines. It was quite a challenge, but also a lot of fun. I am also thinking about doing another novella perhaps, and this one may be even longer. Actually I never really know how long My stories will be until they are done!
So what is the longest story you have written here on Lush? Ebooks don't count - I'm just talking about Lush stories.
On Lush? Probably the one that just finished posting, "Lowborn" at around 50k words. It's either that or "To Catch a Merchant Princess". Can't remember how long that one is.
I haven't had time to do any multiple part stuff so mine are all under 10000 words to date. I think The Professor is the longest at 7200 words but I have not actually checked to be sure.
I *think* "Silken Smoke" is the longest I've written to date. It was certainly the most difficult to write, because I was writing from the male POV, had to think like I think a man thinks.
Want to spend some time wallowing in a Recommended Read? Pick one! Or two! Or seven!
Lovely, Master Johnathan. The longest work I've completely (and published) is The Devil's Undertones - 32,000 words or so.
Unfinished: a lot of my unfinished novels are in the 50 - 70K range.
My 'The Bitches in the Basement' novel was around 55K words. Part of that novel was posted on Lush at one point.
As far as what I currently have on Lush, it would be West Coast Games - which comes in at around 27K. I'm working on the prequel to this using a different character's perspective, and I expect it to roughly be around the same length. Then I plan to publish both as a combined eBook.
Kelly's Passion ran over 60,000 words. It was posted on Lush for awhile before becoming an Ebook. I loved being able to go that deep into the story. The final three chapters all were awarded EP's.
I wrote a Fantasy novel that is 60,000+ words and 28 chapters.
9 inches of course, (but shhhh. I measure with a big font)
Probably Wonderland, Lucy's tale. it's over on the blue site. Oh, the Mrs V, if you put them all together over here is pretty long too...?
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
My series, The Client on the sixth floor, now stands at about 100K words (although those parts aren't all published yet, sorry!)
Punish Me, is about 80K, again, unfinished...
Natural Beauty will probably come in a roughly 20K and that one IS nearly finished!!
One of these days I'll get it done...
Depends upon what you call a "story", though.
Merchant Princess and Lowborn are both set in the same world, and are history stories for several other tales I've posted ( plus many more not here ) There's probably a million words between all the stories written about those connected characters, with somewhere around 140k of it posted here at the moment.
My Magic of the Wood series is 110k words so far and follows a more or less generational timeline of the family, which is all posted here.
I have written many novels but the longest one I have written has around 120K WORDS. I just finished writing it's 106th chapter, and I still have a lot to tell in this novel. It's a novel in which you will read about everything- love, crime, seduction, taboo and lots of SEX - I would say it's my best work. I have written this one all by myself, and I feel proud to tell that it has just crossed 450K READS. If someday I get a chance I would like to make a movie on it because that's what my readers have suggested : )
It's not very good in terms of grammar and English, but my readers love it and I hope that someday I will find a right person to edit this whole novel for me.
Be a man to treat me like a princess and fuck me like a whore.
On this site?

The first story that I started because of this site! It's up to 10k words and no sex yet.
I wish I'd never started it! I keep going back to it and maybe it will be finished in 2020, lol.
I write "hi-story" which is a narrative of past events deemed of some significance, and the biggest one I wrote is over 400 pages (8.5 x11 inch pages).
"Sandra and Stevie" It's 75 chapters. It's filled with grammatical errors, but it will always be my favorite. I'm in love with the characters. For me the pleasure of writing comes from creating characters I would like to know. It's hard to do that in a short story.
Not counting my multi-chapter stories, which I've never bothered to add up a word-count, my longest single-part story here on Lush is Appalachian Mists at around 13,350 words. Sapphic Tales #1 comes in at around 20,000 words, but I don't want to break it up into chapters, so you probably won't be able to read it here.
This reminds me of the time my publisher returned my first draft for, "The never ending story".
Excuse me are you the author of 'The Never Ending Story' ? I find that hard to believe.
That would make you a ghost you died in 1995 and you must be a male.
Quote."This reminds me of the time my publisher returned my first draft for, "The never ending story"."
Finally - 4 months after I started (almost to the day) I've finished my novel rough draft. It stands at a paltry 60,000 words.
Actually it was not an erotica but a novel in college. On Lush my longest and still unfinished because I lost inspiration was the Detectives Journal.
