I'm ashamed to have not nominated Bill. Truth be told, if it wasn't for him, I would have probably run away from the site. He invited me to his bar which is the best place to hang out and he trusted me to edit his story and he's so funny and he named a fucking drink after me and I love him to the sky and back and god, what a guy! Such a good, decent guy and a great writer too. CONGRATULATIONS to a top, top guy!
It's a pleasure seeing Rumple getting recognition here on Lush. I must say, he and I are more familiar with each other on the blue site. He's always encouraging and wonderfully complimentary there. I'm not sure he has ever read anything I've written here on red. That's not important, actually. What is important is that he has been such a good friend and confidante to so many here on Lush. It's grand that he's the first recipient of this coveted award.
How perfect, I was thinking of him for this award but I suffer from a deplorable amount of laziness. I wandered into his bar awhile back and have never left. He too sent me a pm after reading some of my stories pointing out my over use of "I" and some other sage advice. You could tell he was doing it in an honest effort to better my work and in the nicest way possible. I have always appreciated that. His sense of humor is just a bonus.
Come to his bar, he will always make you feel welcome and will even "pimp" your latest story, offer a drink or commentary on the news of the day, sports etc.
I feel like Rumplations is my second home here. I will admit some days it has kept me from leaving. I've met some of the nicest people there, made new friends and been reacquainted with old ones.
So congratulations and don't forget to read his stories and come by the bar. You won't regret either.
My favorite story of his is one of the funniest things I've ever read. Of course I can't remember the name or look it up at the moment, but it is in is forum sig line if I am not mistaken.
And don't forget to try the "Hannah".
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I haven't visited the rumplations thread a lot, but it was always a joy when I did. I think this award is well deserved.
Congratulations!
A little kindness can be so valuable, yet costs almost nothing
In many countries being gay is a crime, and even in modern societies, politicians try to legalise discrimination. Your voice can make a difference. Have a look at All Out to find out how.
Hey... pssst.... that's an l (as in luscious) at the end of my name, not an i I already gushed about this over at his bar, so I will simply add that this is a great pick for the award, and a nice way to start the day. Nice guy, generous and smart and self-deprecating, who has helped my writing many times over and given me quite a few laughs as well. Well deserved, Bill.
Great choice. Bill is a quality guy who has reached out to most all of us at one time or another. Congrats, Rumple!
A very deserved award, as I've already commented over in Rump's bar. Now all the ladies should rush over. Some idiot ape said he'd buy all the ladies a drink.
Excellent nomination and decision. Rump is a kind, warm-hearted, talented yet humble man who offers some of the best constructive feedback for writers who really want to improve their skills and grow. He's a huge asset to the site and a really awesome human being! Congrats!
Congrats Rumple. Always enjoy a visit to your bar and the great humour with which one and all is met. Love to read through the posts there when i need a chuckle. Cheers!
Congratulations. I don't believe we have ever officially met although I've stopped by once or twice. I will have to come check out the bar and the patrons. it seems you are very deserving of this lovely lush award.
congratulations! i'm afraid that i don't know you personally, but i can see that you're very deserving of this award. i've come across a few of your posts and have peeked inside your bar. guess it's time to order a round!?
I don't much venture into all segments of the forum to really know the bloke, or really many forum goers really. Probably missing out on some gems.
But Buz pimped one of my stories in his Honky Tonk before because I'm never all that confident in pimping my shit. Needless to say, I got reads I've never gotten before from people more than willing to help get a wonky competition piece eligible. If a dude creates a place that like, he's a right gent.
More than that, he compared a bit of my writing to 'Fear and Loathing.'
That's way too kind a compliment. Hunter S. Thompson is a cult classic boss.
Thanks, for that man. That's the best compliment I've ever received, and it was short as hell.
Congratulations. I often look through the window of your fine establishment, one day I will have to come in for a drink.
Congratulations RF! Great choice and most deserved.
Nothing better on a rainy Tuesday in Arizona than reading kind comments directed at me, my own self. Thanks to all of you.
BTW, everyone in Lushland should feel free to drop into, Rumplations. There's no cover, no minimum, no bouncer and absolutely no standards. Y'all come.

Congratulations! You're one of those people who make Lush what it is. Always there, always with something fun or interesting to say. So nice that you've been recognised with this fantastic new award.
22 February 2024 - How about a quick plug for one of my filthiest recent stories? It's all in the title - Naked Pool Party Swingers | Lush Stories Please read, comment and maybe give it a ❤️ - or even a⭐ if you really enjoy it! Thank you! Annie xxx
...okay, he's never heard of me! 
But what a good call for first recipient! Sadly, I've never shown up on his radar, (this is what comes of never entering drinking establishments!) but he's clearly made a big impact on Lush, so CONGRATULATIONS, Rump!
, to each and every one of you, or to express it with grammatical southern conciseness, to y'all. ;)
