Hi, I’m Mark, a happily married, straight male who’s here to read and submit stories, make some likeminded friends, and that's all.

I came here to submit stories for everyone to enjoy, and comment on, good or bad, as well as read other’s stories. My stories tend to be long, with a lot of background details and dialog to paint a colorful picture of what’s happening and make my characters come to life in your mind. I like the way one commenter described one of my stories as “Theatre for the mind.” That’s exactly the kind of reaction I’m hoping for! I hope you read some of them and have a similar experience. They're sometimes inspired by a spark of reality but are 99-100% fantasy.

I've had a lifelong fascination with spanking. I have had all the stereotypical ‘spanko’ symptoms starting in my pre-teen years: repeatedly looking up the word in the dictionary, intrigued with seeing or reading anything related to spanking, fascination with the female bottom, etc. I can’t get enough of it and enjoy reading those kinds of stories here.

I submitted quite a few stories in my first year (2023) because I already had the equivalent of a few novels written before I joined Lush. They are mostly part of several 'You Need a Spanking' (YNAS) series though I've recently added to the storyline with a spinoff character. All my other stories have been written since I started submitting them here, giving me immense joy to share them with you.

I really appreciate my growing list of followers, a choice few of which are always there to offer encouragement.

Many thanks go to all the Lush moderators who've done all they can to make me a better writer. Special thanks go to moderators Krystal, Cydia, Genny, and especially Kat, who've done more than their share.

So, hello to all Lush friends and members. I hope you try, and like, some of my stories!
