The Autumn Equinox signals the beginning of Fall. It is the day in which there are exactly 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness at the equator.

In ancient times, the Autumn Equinox was cause for a variety of pagan festivals, among them the celebration of the birth of Mabon, the son of Mordon, the Goddess of the earth. It is also known as The Second Harvest Festival, Wine Harvest and Feast of Avalon.

At this festival it is appropriate to wear all of your finery and dine and celebrate in a lavish setting.


Competition Theme

Mabon is celebrated with festivals, feasting, copious amounts of food and wine. We expect stories will contain some of these hedonistic and over-indulgent elements.

The symmetry between light and darkness on this day, could lead to some interesting interpretations too.

Full competition details can be found here.

I agree!! These contests are a great boost for the "creative juices" and stimulate some amazing stories. I didn't have time to write for this one, but I hope the next one is a topic up my alley. I have my favorites this time so I'll wait to see if any of them place.

i've already suggested that the theme for the next one is "Flying Too Much"biggrin

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.

Haha now that's a theme I can EMBRACE!! Luckily my hotel in Beijing does not block "Lush Stories" otherwise I'd be going through story-withdrawl. The Chinese probably got confused by the whole "Lush" concept? Flying too much is actually a pretty good theme.....perhaps "travel sex"?? I adore travel sex.

in all seriousness, noted. i'll bring it up during the next comp. discussion. might be a good one for the holiday season due to all the travelling that goes on, in fact.

No, Dani a winner hasn't been announced. I'm guessing that the winners will be announced in less than a week or so.

I guess those handcuffs you've been eyeing will have to wait.

Submitting an entry to the competition is usually a step in the right direction, if you're to have any hope at all of winning

I have to submit a story into a competition just to be considered for said competition?? I didn't read any of that in the fine print. I know my rights, and I don't have to take this. I'm leaving Lush indefinitely!

It is. But the fight can't commence until Liz posts a pic of half-naked ladies with big boobies.
