This competition is aimed at celebrating the launch of our new "Historical" sex story category.

Stories should be written within the context of a historic setting (obvious examples include Ancient Rome, Victorian England), and contain rich historical detail.

Competition Theme

Our category description should spark a few ideas: "Mingle with the upper echelons of society at a Venetian masked ball, witness the gluttony and debauchery of ancient Rome, or experience the shocking scandal of a Victorian high-society love affair. This category is exclusively for stories set in a historical time period."

Due to the nature of these stories, we are raising our maximum word limit to 5,000 for this competition.

Full details >>






Good luck to all those who enter, and a thank you to those who voted in the new category!

Cheers,

Nicola
This is so exciting. I just submitted a new story for the genre. I can't wait to think of a new story for the competition. I love that the new genre is going to be the competition piece. It should bring in a whole lot of new and awesome stories.
Oh this is going to be fun! I'm more excited about this one than I was with the poetry one.
? A True Story ?
Oh my goodness! Well, I like a challenge...wonder what my ancestors got up to in the Welsh hills?
Hmmm sounds like fun, both to write and to read. I hear the drums already...
I have my idea now..I am focused.

I actually had trouble picking a particular one as there is so many historical times one can choose to write about...The list is endlesss.

I really can't wait to read what people write in this as history is a passion of mine.


Edit . It is gonna be about Scottish Pirates... If anyone see's Clum I am not here ok..shit i mean okay.
The Duchess of Tart

Please check out my new story, co-written with the amazing Wilful.

Haha I'm looking forward to reading that piece. You going to tag it reluctance?
Dino Sex is, technically, historical, right? just checking before i start "Dino Orgy - 12 Million BC".

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.

I'm looking forward to this one...

The late comedian MITCH HEDBERG has a line I like, "This is a photo of me when i was younger," said my buddy... I said, "Dude, EVERY PHOTO OF YOU IS WHEN YOU WERE YOUNGER!!!" (The POINT is that HISTORICAL as a category isn't necessarily just Roman Togas or Claret-quaffing Victorians... Done properly and with flair, it's anything that happened before TODAY... (Perhaps not LITERALLY!!!) But there is the ROARING TWENTIES, The Second War and my dad tells hot stories of Thai Bar Girls during RnR in 1967...)

Not really, as there were no humans then

For clairity, how far back in time does a story have to go to be considered history? Would a story based in world war two be eligible? How about the sixties? Just wondering cause you know its going to come up.

The Wild Girl anthology need not be read in any order but does take place in the following timeframe

Wild at Heart- 1968. The story of Dani’s Great Aunt Evie.

https://www.lushstories.com/stories/first-time/wild-at-heart

Wild Oats. Part 1&2. -2021. Dani is 16 and sets her sights on her stepfather.

yes, and yes (imo).

If it happened YESTERDAY and you write it like it READS like an HISTORICAL story then you're good...

(Honestly... IF you can write a story set in the 1980s, NAIL IT AND SELL IT... then YES! (THat's historical!!!)

(The EIGHTIES setting obviously being ESSENTIAL to the tale...)

That's more like "retro".

I propose a new category. Anything from 1960 - 1999 is retro.

Do YOU get up in the morning, and think, "HOW CAN I ANNOY STEPHANIE?"


OR IS IT MY FUCKING IMAGINATION?????

(That MIGHT be a joke... OR I MIGHT BE REALLY REALLY REALLY SERIOUS!!!)

I'd HATE to be YOU right now...

Jack: "The three "REALLYS" gave it away..."

Me: "I have never liked you... CHRISTINA!!! (YOU LOT DIDN"T KNOW THAT DID YOU!!!?????)"

Jack: "Christine..."

Me: "Oh Jesus God... How I HATE you... Seriously? CHRISTINE???"

Jack: "Yeah... Named after My Dad's Mom..."

Me: "Are YOU making SHIT up???'

Jack: "YOU STARTED IT!!!"

An erotic story from that era would be Retrosexual.

Sometimes I do... But that's in the past now.

Please explain it to stephanie. (he's retro and doesn't even realize it)

Stephanie is Retro himself. During those years he spent some time as merchant seaman sailing around southeast Asia. Once he got cured from the clap, he became a Carnie on the American West Coast. The paternity lawsuits kept building up, so he stowed away on an Air France jet and made it back to Ireland, after some French farmer shot him in the butt with a shot gun... something about catching Steph analizing his wife. In Ireland, Steph joined a rock band and toured the world (he is permanently banned from going back to Canada). He had so much sex his doctor told him he'd end up with an old man's shriveled penis by his early 40s like Errol Flynn if he didn't slow down. So Steph took to writing naughty articles for men's magazines. Eventually he ended up here on Lush, the Stephanie we all know and love.

Steph, I hope you don't mind me posting your mini bio.

I'm NOT RETRO!!!!!!!!

(I've been EXACTLY like this for YEARS!!!!!)

I'm INTO New Things...

(No I'm not... The day I came home and she'd shaved it I said, "ARE YOU TRYING TO GET ME ARRESTED???)

Turned out she WAS... (I'm out in September...)

He is. Between me and you... I think stephanie really phoned it in on his last story. (on a rotary phone, no less)
I not even surprised this is happening... but I'm glad the word limit has been raised. It allows the writers to set the scene better and with the historical element... that will be a necessary piece. I'm sure there will be some great entries as always.
I am very pleased to see this new category as it will, I'm sure, bring about a lot of new sexy stories. I haven't decided just yet if I will enter the competition but I am looking forward to reading some of the story submissions that come from it.

I have a couple stories for the category although all of them go beyond the 5,000 word limit! I am a wordy cuss sometimes!
Actual REAL thing that REALLY ACTUALLY happened...

Me: "Hi... I love the New Comp idea... But... Why the Five Kay minimum word count? Nobody gets into bed with Five grand Nic... It'll put people off..."

Nicola: "It's a MAXIMUM word count..."

Me: "OH! Okay..."

Nicola: "You're a fucking idiot..."

This is a pile of crap.

Three OF MANY possible corrections.

It was a LUFTHANSA jet.

It's BELGIUM I'm banned from... (So no big fucking loss there...)

Chlamydia isn't The Clap*

xx SF

*(Technically chlamydia IS the clap... But it's the BEST kind of clap to get if you're going to get the clap... An embarrassing exam, a course of penicillin and we're good to go... Jesus! I remember that exam... The doctor was this FUCK OFF CUTE lady... And I THINK she liked me! But you know, it's the wrong time to ask somebody out when they are putting a Q-Tip up your Zeppelin... Which by the way was the size of a fucking ACORN during that exam... She had to DIG IT OUT with a pin like a fucking escargot... And they ask WEIRD questions in those tests!!!

"Have you been tested for HIV?"

"No, but I think I'm fine..."

"Have you ever used intravenous drugs or had anal sex?"

"Actually, maybe you should test me..."


I was FINE!!!

Ever had CRABS? (That's a FUCKING bitch!!!) I've had 'em TWICE... And BOTH TIMES by ACCIDENT!!! (Not that I suppose you deliberately get Crabs...) Once 'cos I slept in a DIRTY bed and ONCE because my girlfriend's gay flatmate used her bath towel...

I used to work on a GAY newspaper... There were more crabs in that office than on the Jersey shore in fucking August...

xx SF

True Story. (Hi Jayne...)

I was once scuba diving off the Jersey shore. They have SHORE CRABS there, (we don't have them where I live...) And they look cute, PRIMORDIAL little creatures... Like German Helmets with a tail... UNTIL YOU FLIP THEM OVER!!! THEN IT'S FUCKING ALIEN!!!!!

does writing about yesterday count as historical? what about last week? (Steph asked me to ask. he said it's be FUNNY).

Nicola: yes, it's funny when Steph says it. when you say it, it just sounds silly.

Me: Silly, as in kind of cute?

Nicola: No, silly and in kind of stupid.

She actually respects and likes me, she just says stuff like that to be funny.

Nicola: no, actually, I say it because it's true.

Me: ...

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.

I don't wanna be that guy....well fuck, I don't mind so....

Shiver me fucking timbers.....if I'm even going to CONSIDER about even writing something for this during my blessed break from classes, I want a confirmation on what counts as historical.

Just the Ancient times? As in Ancient Greece/Rome/etc and The Renaissance/Victorian?

Or can do do:

The American Civil War?

'Nam?

Korean War?

Any of the SEVERAL wars staged in the Middle East?

Cold War?

The Raging 20s?

The Jazz Age?

The horrible age of Disco?

More generally, The Progressive Era?

Cuz if I've writing one, I plan on veering away of the cliche and passe and stick the Ancient and Victorian Times periods entirely. Been done ad-nausea.
I can't find this in the rules...can we reference specific, named, real individuals who lived at the time of the story's setting? Not just tangentially involved individuals (Elizabeth I, for example), but normal citizens who rose to prominence as a direct result of the circumstances surrounding the meeting of the protagonists?

This is a REALLY interesting point...



I don't think that LUSH STORIES would be crazy about a story where, for example, somebody FUCKS Cleopatra... (I don't know WHY I think that, but I just FEEL THAT!!!)

There IS a possible cross-over here with the kind of FAN-FIC we don't allow...

I think REAL HISTORICAL INDIVIDUALS could be MENTIONED in the story but perhaps NOT THE SUBJECT of the story.

MOST of our writers are GOOD ENOUGH to get the nuances of genre, I think...
