I'm pretty sure our excellent team of story mods, will be able to figure out these most important and intellectually challenging categorisation conundrums (ccc)

At 76% for, this looks a slam dunk in favour.

I completely agree!!! They wouldn't be story mods if they weren't amazing!

Historical will make a great category and the amazing authors of Lush will do a great job. I'm sure we'll see some interesting takes on these future historical stories despite what some critics might say. Who knows... we could think of history and historical fiction in a whole new light.

I think Historical will get "muddied" by lesbian, gay male, and other elements that some would say aren't historical.


Lol what...

Is that a serious statement? Gay and bisexual people weren't around in historic times? Not even in Ancient Rome? Homosexuality is a new phenomenon? Who are the "some" that would say gay people didn't exist more than a decade ago?

If that is a serious statement, it has got to be one of the stupidest posts on Lush, ever. Scary.

Will you guys also work to keep the historically inaccurate homo stories away from the new category as well? /sarcasm

I think we are all missing the fact that this is also fiction.

Who on earth does not want to go back in time and fuck a historical figure?

This is a sex website.

Do the lesbians not want to go back and fuck Cleopatra? Or Helen of Troy... who I hear was most beautiful.

Do the men not want to go back and fuck Alexander The Great… who I hear had trouble with performance issues when it came to sex with women?

It is a story and fictional. I agree having an F1 time machine driven by Lewis Hamilton rushing back to ancient times using advanced alien technology would be deemed as Sci-fi.

There are those of us who just want to go back and fuck Jesus or Henry the 8th (eww) or have an orgy with ancient Roman gladiators who all look like Russel Crowe.

OR… have lesbian sex with Joan Of Arc... what's the big deal? It is a story and fictional so paradox be dammed... writing a fictional story never changed history... it is just hopefully a fun thing to read but not real it’s just a story.

fuck that. mods have been drunk for weeks now. that's the good ones. the bad ones just lie around naked and sleep between orgies. we don't even read the stories anymore, we just flip a coin and either hit verify or reject. not like you pay us to actually put in any effort, ya know.

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 actually do have a serious question though. I hope it doesn’t come off stupid. Now I know we’re not allowed to write about having sex with famous people. Like actors, actresses, sports people and all that.

So are we going to even be allowed to have sex with Joan of Arc, Cleopatra, Helen of Troy so on and so forth? I’m not sure what the reason we can’t have sex with people like Angelina Jolie or Brad Pitt, so I want to know what is and isn’t okay for this genre.

600 year old people have copywrite?

Edit. I meant that Henry 8th 1st wife was totally screwed over by Anne Berlin.

If you wanted to write a revenge story I would go there..We all think she was poisonous.

I would totally love to see a ficticious story where she came out better in all this and got her own back.

Are we allowed to do Jane Austen fanfic? (That's a serious question).

https://www.lushstories.com/disclaimer.aspx - we have a general disclaimer that we disallow fan fiction. That was primarily added to help protect our authors from getting into legal hot soup. Imagine the trouble we might get in, if say, one of our authors made up a story about a President allegedly having "sexual relations" with an Intern, for example. That wouldn't do at all!

Historical fan fiction like this, *should* be ok I think. A lot of people are at it (which doesn't necessarily mean it's legal to do so).

I shy away from anything which could get members of our community, or myself, into legal trouble. If there's a lawyer on here with in depth knowledge of Copyright and Fair Use Law, it would be lovely if you could help clear this matter up.

Meanwhile, I'll do some investigating.

EDIT: "You’re getting into a couple of interesting, and very tricky, legal areas with this idea, however devilish and cunning it might seem. Almost certainly, you’re not the first to have come up with a plan like this, but before you think of executing it, there are some things you need to be aware of.

The first is copyright law. It’s a legal labyrinth, but in essence it boils down to the fact that the copyright on a work remains with the author, or his successors, until 70 years after his death. However, if the work was first published outside the UK, then it becomes even more complex."

Yeah, I know we don't generally allow fanfic for legal reasons, but I was reading somewhere lately that you can do pretty much whatever the hell you want with stuff like Shakespeare, Austen and Dickens, but it wasn't anything official.

I'll do a little digging myself.

Yes, that's pretty much my take on it.

In theory, if the original author has been dead for over 70 years, you should be fine.

If we start allowing historic fan fiction, we'll need to change our terms and conditions.

Nothing to do with the thread, but what's with Magical felix always picking up on Kiera? So she got her spelling wrong, - so what? She's not the first and won't be the last. And he should talk, - on page 1, -
Kiera, "I assumed you meant something........."
Felix, "I assumed you MEAN'T something"
Why the apostrophe? In this case it means you have shortened two words into one, ie don't = do not. Can he tell us what two words go to make mean't. In my dictionary it is spelled as meant.

Sorry folks, for butting in.

I agree with you Cooldaddy. After all, if this site and these Fora [Forums]
were only for those with perfect English and typing skills, they would not
have many people playing in them. Being blind in one eye, not even my spell check catches all my errors.

As an avid fan of general historical fiction, (though NO EXPERT on copyright law...) I'd make a layman's observation. (Or two!)

If it's a REAL PERSON (either still living or with a legally active estate...) you can't feature them in a way that might possibly cause offence or insult. (So YOU CAN'T fuck Bono or say how you met Bill Clinton in a New Orleans cat-house...) You CAN write about a U2 concert or refer to Clinton's record.

If it's a REAL PERSON who is deceased and NO LONGER has an active estate, (King Edward the VIIth is a good example, as is General George Custer or Marie Antoinette...) you basically have carte-blanche.

If it's a FICTIONAL CHARACTER, (Sherlock Holmes, Dracula or Biggles!) you're pretty much okay! (Incidentally, ALL THESE CHARACTERS STILL HAVE ACTIVE ESTATES, that is, you CAN'T write a BRAND NEW Sherlock Holmes book, but YOU CAN feature him as an ancillary character in an original novel.)

EXCEPT...

Common sense must prevail. If, for example, you write a story where you portray Winston Churchill as a raving gay, you're going to get flak. (Oddly, you can have Tiberius fuck a pig and no-one will bat an eyelid... Although, to be fair, he may well have actually done that. He was FUCKING WEIRD!!! Google, 'Tiberius Minnows' for confirmation...)

It's a MOD'S call and GENERALLY they get it right as I say... (Maybe worth mentioning here that that is ONE OF THE MANY THINGS you can't TEACH a Moderator. They either INSTINCTIVELY feel it or they don't... A GOOD MODERATOR will be able to explain WHY something QUITE SIMPLY RINGS HOLLOW...)

Finally, GREAT TO SEE the support for this category among my fellow members!

I DON'T like WRITING!!!

(I truly REALLY REALLY don't!!!)

I'm just VERY GOOD AT IT!!!

(Imagine a GREAT CHEF who's secretly ANOREXIC...) Or a CHILEAN TORTURER from the 1970's JUNTA who hates hurting people. Or a PILOT afraid of HEIGHTS! A SINGER with stage-fright... A comedian who can't make himself LAUGH!!!)

Actually, I CAN make myself laugh!

But I OWE both of you for ideas and talent and input and encouragement and friendship and talking and help and ELECTRICITY and MAKING ME BETTER and general coolness...

(So bear with me!)

Both are GREAT stories!!! (Seriously, I WILL...)

Actually... there are a lot of singers who suffer from stage-fright.

As for writing... you have an amazing talent even if you don't like the process. I wish I could share my ideas better... or at least make sure that my thoughts are as clear on paper (or screen) as they are in my head. Often the transition gets fucked up.

So here's to a great new category! May we enjoy some awesome stories!
