The raffle with entry fee is fun. You could ask for anything: favorite opening line of a Lush story, favorite ending for a Lush story, favorite sex scene. Ooo... if you want it to focus on your stories, you could ask people to match one of your characters with a picture of a person.
I also love the idea of a limerick contest.

Sweet! I have an almost psychotic makeup addiction. No lie. Ask me anything. LOL. Personally, I hatezzz Poerfessional, but I also have dry skinSilicone primers just don't work for me, and believe me, I've tried enough to know
Porefessional... look at me. I don't even know what I purchased.
How about a good, slim waterproof eyeliner ? I've yet to try one that is still there at the end of the day after I've showered. I don't have to wash my face, but the steam kills it.

I think if you use a primer like Benefit Porefessional, you can use any foundation you would like.
I use Benefits mascaras like They're Real and Roller Lash. I always get travel size so I am not wasting $ and encouraging eye germs
I just got Benefit Professional primer this week. OMG, thank you. I love it. I'm reasonably matte all day and it doesn't irritate my absurdly sensitive skin!

Here on Lush, I like single short stories.
Even for longer stories, I would like it if each installment has a beginning, middle, and an end. If each chapter reads like its own story, I won't be as disappointed if the series isn't finished.
I wrote an erotica novel where the tease between the two main characters continues for thirteen chapters. That's a little much, even for me.

I am undisciplined and a bit manic. I will get inspired and write feverishly to get the bones of the story down. That can take a few to many hours. Another story will often spring from it. It can last for a couple days. I write mostly in Word on my Desktop though I have been known to write on my iPad while traveling.
The story then sits and waits for me to augment the bones or edit down the initial draft. I sometimes struggle to pick up the feeling of the initial draft. It usually means that it should go in the dustbin. Sometimes I am just undisciplined (odd because in most other things, I am extremely self disciplined.
Songs lyrics are often written by hand on whatever scrap of paper I can find. I record a scratch track of guitar and vocals into my computer. The lyric might be nonsense in parts when I want to get the concept down. For plays, we storyboarded on kraft paper on the wall. Then we would start an initial draft. At a certain point we would get others for first a read though and then a block and read. Serious editing is done here.
I do study and listen closely to how people really talk. Unfortunately, seldom is it in complete sentences.
Out of curiousity, how do the mods view dialogue that is not in complete sentences?
I don't have a problem with it. Most people don't speak in complete, proper sentences, like you said. I also won't ask the author to fix grammar in dialog if the character seems like they would speak that way.

Do you prefer to write in the mornings? Evenings? Whenever?
Do you need to feel inspired to write, or are you more disciplined, writing so much every day (or week or whatever).
Do you prefer to work in solitude, or around other people (e.g. in a coffee shop)?
Do you like music playing, or total silence?
Do you have any particular writing rituals that help to get you in the right mood/mindset?
Do you have a specific place you like to write in.
Do you prefer to write by pen and paper, word processor, typewriter, chisel and stone tablet?
You get the idea. Tell us about your writing practice.
I like to write in the morning but I can do it any time. Once I get a story started, I can be a little obsessive about finishing it.
I don't need to be inspired to write. All I need is an idea or image. I'm not saying it will be easy. It's much, much easier if I feel inspired but I don't have to be to be.
I prefer to work in solitude, but rarely do. When I took public transportation to work, I would write on the bus. It gave me almost two hours of writing time a day.
I like silence. I tend to sing along with music, even instrumentals.
I can be silly about my writing. Very occasionally, I still hand write on paper. When I do, it needs to be with my favorite type of pen. And nobody can read my drafts but me, there's so many notes on it. Mostly, though, I write on a hot-pink computer named Rosie. Most stories have at least five false starts (where I don't like the beginning) but I always save the beginnings I don't like until I find one that I do. I love to sip coffee while I write.
I rarely publish a story to Lush on the day I finish it (the edits, I mean). I always like to look at it with fresh eyes before posting.
<----- Me, drunk with power!

I don't usually do it after publishing. However, I do have finished stories that I didn't love. I never did anything with them. Sometimes I'll pull one out and see if, like you, the idea was good but the execution was poor.
The pros? I think, in this case, time away from the story and improved writing ability is a good reason to revisit something.
The cons? You can get hung up on a story for too long trying to "perfect" it. I helped a man with a novel he was writing. When we lost contact, he'd been writing and re-writing that damn thing for nearly ten years. He had a draft when we met. Seven years later, he was still editing.
Don't be that writer.

Quote by Buz
Religion is just an organization of people. God is something else. If there is God then science and physics will prove to be God's invention and tool. In that case, you'll never know, at least in this lifetime.
Yes. If there is a God, science is here to explain His creation and His instrument.
If not, it's still here to explain the natural world.
Either way, it can't prove the existence of God or the soul, the location of heaven or hell, or if salvation is real. All it can do is help to confirm or disprove places mentioned in the Bible. Events, perhaps, too.
So, if the soul really is my forever...after my body is gone this is what continues... I would only sell it for someone I love who needs it desperately.
I lost my mother this year. I would sell my soul for ten more years with her. So, there you go.

It's impossible tot prove a negatieve. It's also unnecessary when there's no proof for the positive. Every claim that's made without evidence can be disregarded without evidence.
I agree.
Though, to play devil's advocate, I would hate to see SETI done away with, even though there's no evidence of ET. At least there, though, we have some idea of what to look for and listen for.
