btw, some of us really do get the foot fetish thing. not saying who, though. quite seriously, as long as a story doesn't break guidelines, write it and don't worry about being judged. we try to keep an openness here for everyone's kinks and fetishes. as i am fond of telling people who think that they are into strange "perversions" and shy about admitting to them, i like being peed on.

Oh, yeah, the golden shower. I've tried it myself a couple of times, but I much prefer the tootsies. Your openness is heartwarming and comforting.

There are people out there who will make mock of those with "unorthodox" sexual preferences. The thing is -- and not many people know this -- those who make fun of others actually have kinks and fetishes of their own. The difference is, they're too shy to admit it, and hide behind a facade of being someone they are not and denying who they really are.

You and I are the better people; we know who we are, what we like. We accept it, and we're not afraid to admit it. That is the key to living a blissfully free life. A life of joy, peace and purpose.

Those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

most everyone here knows that i'll smack around anyone who "kink-shames" by now, so we don't get a lot of that - lush is all about being able to explore and experiment freely and openly. smile

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.

Kink shaming is one thing. But tard shaming now too?

Who are you? What have you done with sprite? What have you done with sprite the writor?

Disgusting.

Really, this is an important point. Lush is an open community that welcomes everyones sexual interests. We do not judge, nor do we look down on those who have desires that are different than our own. If an interest or fetish fit into the guidelines, then no one will think less of those who share it.

On a more important note, aside from the willy-nillys and the semi colons, I've just uploaded my first story to the site.

I've been working ever so hard on sentence structure recently, and , regardless as to whether my story is accepted or not, I'd be grateful if someone would give me an honest opinion on my writing.

One thing I'm most guilty of is running sentences too long, making them long-winded. Problem is, I'm having difficulty determining what is the maximum length of a sentence before the sentence starts venturing into the realms of long-windeness.

I'll post an example of a sentence I wrote the other day, which, ultimately, I decided was too long and split into two. I'll post it and I be grateful if someone could give me an honest opinion.

I stood stock still, leering, munching on my donor kebab, drinking in that awe-inspiring sight, and felt a drop of chili sauce trickle down my chin and onto my shirt as that barefoot held me captivated.

I think the length is fine, but I tend be infatuated with long sentences too. Be careful, that Ravenstar will grab a semi-colon and gut you like a carp.

How about:

I stood leering, munching on the kabob, captivated by that bare foot, oblivious to the drop of chili sauce that trickled down my chin and onto my shirt.

The chili sauce drop is a great detail.

I'll tell you what: all this talk of semi colons taking out eyes and ripping guts out has had a profound affect on me. I feel a shiver of trepidation run through me every time I press the semi colon key on my keyboard, thinking it's going to jump out at me and do me a mischief. I never knew that punctuation marks could be so dangerous. laughing6

Thank you for replying to my post. I suppose the ideal sentence length is a matter of opinion.

I'm also rather partial to the longer sentence.

Someone once said to me, "If you run out of breath before you reach the end of a sentence, you know it's too long." I'm not sure about that, because this would differ from one person to next; everybody has different lung capacities. For example, a non-smoker would be able to read a much longer sentence than a smoker of twenty cigs a day, due to their superior lung capacity.

I like the way you restructured my sentence, by the way. I would have added that to my story, but I'd already uploaded it.
