Well if Sprite can use her bogus mail order "Royal" title and her "sleep her way to the top" strategy then a little bribery seems fairly innocuous? I have posted Storybook Love out of pure artistic integrity and am in no way attempting to influence any particular judge (including Gypsymoth). Hope you all enjoy an amazing song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVUygl0L4kcSprite at 3001 words DirtyMartini will be sent to your home, you will be evicted, you will be handcuffed, tied-up, and flown to Guantanamo on a "Ghost Plane" and incarcerated illegally for several years. You will need to learn Urdu in order to communicate with any of the other prisoners so you better crack the books NOW! I know this all sounds like a cool sex fantasy to you (oh dear, tied-up, handcuffed.....she giggles and gets hot), but Lush has its rules baby.

Good thing this isn't a flash fiction contest. Certain entrants would go into the bends. :) BTW, I paid five dollars American for a certificate from the Universal Life Church of Modesto, CA, making me a Cardinal in that bastion of spiritual sanctification. The Right Rev Rumple Foreskin

Btw...haven't decided yet if I'm actually entering this one...been sort of busy lately... And btw Miss Sprite...how much did you have to bribe Nic with to get your, um, "Royalty" status?

See, that just proves that money really can buy anything... So, you're Cardinal Rumpskin now? Hmmm...I guess it's worth the five bucks...btw, how much did they want for Pope?

Well personally I don't think "Pope DirtyMartini" or "Pope Alan" really works very well. Now "POPE JOHN" on the other hand, now that has a certain ring to it.

It would be unfair to the authors who've submitted stories already, to change the rules. 3000 is a good challenge for everyone

Just so y'all know, I paid that nominal fee for my Cardinalship back in the mid-80's. Kirby Hensley, who founded and ran the outfit, would make you, your pets, or about anything else, whether organic or not, anything you wanted. They'd also grant you a degree in philosophy for some outrageous amount figuring, I suppose, anyone dumb enough to spring for that deal shouldn't be trusted with money. Did I mention that Modesto is also the home of Gallo wine?

Stephanie - shutterstock let me down a little. The team all had access to the same 7 million or whatever they have photos, and we couldn't find any better ones. I could have gone elsewhere but have an account with them.
Shame, I love your stories (go on, you know you want to write one really....).

Well the photos are a bit cheesy for sure, but I took literary license and moved the chalet to Chamonix and changed the clothing brands from JC Penny to Hermes. Hey be creative. Anyways the entry doesn't look good. Are you allowed to enter more than Part 1? Can you enter like a part 1 and then a part 2 and have all the sex in part 2 haha? I'm sure there is a rule of only one entry but am not sure?

ok, this is a serious question, just so you know... ok, so, i have my rough draft done, and IT says i have 2,999 words (no, i didn't plan it like that, it just happened like that) and i know that sometimes word counts differ... so, if i was to turn in my 2,999 word story and Lush's word counter says it was 3,010 words, would it be disqualified? or would i have to edit it down 10 words? or is there a little wiggle room? just wondering, cause i get nervous about following rules and such.

There's a little wiggle room HRS, but if it's more than 50 words or so, it would be sent back for editing.

yep! i submitted and it came up with a screen wagging it's finger at me saying 'i don't think so!' lol - not really, but yeah, it did say that i had to wait until 6 months if i'd won one before. Gav needs more money, btw, double his salary! *giggle*

I thought you'd be ok, the closing date of this one is: Dec 21, 2011. The Summer Loving one closed on Jun 20, 2011.
Let me check with Gav.

Don't let her enter... That's like telling us you're gonna let Micheal Jordan enter the lush slam dunk competition.

Lol Felix.
Gav confirms that you cannot enter a competition, until 6 months after the last one finished (if you won), so that means you can't enter a comp Sprite, until around the 21st December.
I'll check the dates with Gav - but you might still be able to enter it, a day or so before it closes, or on the day it closes. That would be a challenge to see how much support you can draw up in the one day before it closes!
This competition has already started, less than 6 months after the last one, so perhaps technically, you shouldn't enter...
Oh, it's too early in the day for this!

Court TV may have to investigate this situation. Nic, just a suggestion, but you might want to start a contest support thread. Then again, you may not since this one is handling that function.
