Then we could channel Magritte, if using yogurt, I mean. "Ceci n'est pas un 'cum tribute.'"
That is absolutely perfect!

I had to Goggle this. Band tributes like Abba etc. I understand. Cum tributes just no.
I had to look it up, too.
I have two things to say about this.

I call it: "Cum Into Infinity" (and beyond)
Mike, that could be a winning art project. I see photos, mirrors, yogurt, and Buzz Lightyear.
Second, when I was sixteen I had a pen-pal who was in prison. I sent him a picture (yes, I really WAS that naive). I never got it back and now I'm very grateful.

How is it disrespectful?
Do you not have to wait a year, maybe two and sometimes even ten for a book writer to come out with their new book? Yes, you do. Why? Because it takes them that long to write it.
Most writers have to perfect their book in that time or want to give you something else to read because they don't want to work on the same exact thing the entire time. For most, it burns them out and in turn, runs the risk ruins what could be a fantastic story. It isn't disrespectful to the reader and if you truly enjoy a story or someone's writing then you will wait patiently and you will most likely remember it.
I can't help but take this post to heart here because I write my stories in parts and one bit at a time. And you know what? I like it that way. I get to work on other ideas in the meantime, expressing/exploring all other ideas that I have and that's what makes writing so fun for me. I do it because I enjoy it then when people read and like my stories, its not only a great honor but an enjoyable bonus that they do. It helps drive the motivation I already have to keep writing.
Not everyone has the inspiration or time to devote to finishing a story all at once and yes, some people do enjoy doing it that way. Which, of course, is perfectly fine but saying it's disrespectful to leave your readers hanging is rude to the writers that can't help but do that because it's not as if they are doing it deliberately.
So, whether a person writes in parts or all at once, as long as they are thankful and honest to their readers who follow them then it shouldn't really matter how it gets done. Every person is different and no writer should be called disrespectful for doing what makes them happy and comfortable.
If you can't wait for a story then that's your problem and perhaps, you should spend your time learning a little patience instead of making posts like this.
I completely agree with this.
The only time I successfully completed a novel by posting in installments online was when I had it more than two-thirds finished before I started posting. However, I don't have any more finished novels in my back pocket. If I started a longer piece for Lush, people would definitely be waiting for chapters.
Luckily, there are over 42,000 stories on Lush. There's plenty to amuse you while you wait for your favorite writers to post again.

When I dated men, they were always older (between a ten and twenty-five year difference). I'm easily bored and thought that older men would be more interesting. It might be true, but not for the ones I picked.
I can't say if they are better lovers, since I never tried for anyone younger. I have been hit on by college-aged guys, which always is flattering. But I've never taken them up on their offers.

For a new writer, I think first person is the easiest, myself.
First of all, it's all "I" so it can be a little easier getting into that one specific character's head. The rules are easy... point of view is limited to what one person can sees, experiences, and believes. It's emotional, because the reader is reading it like they are experiencing it.
In third person, I think it's easier to "head jump" from one point of view to another without making it clear to the reader. It's also easier to commit point of view violations. There's third person limited and third person omniscient; shifting between the two can be a problem. Also, I like third person for changing point of view throughout the story, which I think is a skill that you work up to.
I've never used second person or present tense. They are both hard for me if I hope to maintain any consistency.

I never share the poetry I write because it's crap. However, there are bigger forces at work here (namely respect for a good man and poet), so I've entered the poetry competition.
It's Never Just a Fuck
I may hide this piece after the competition, so if you want to read my version of a BDSM sestina, have a look at the above link.

I like this post quite a lot. 
When I first started writing seriously, I spent a lot of time listening in on conversations in coffee shops (where I wrote). It helped my dialog.
I also agree that reading the story aloud is wonderful for finding places that will trip up a reader. Another suggestion is to read the dialog alone, like a script. See if it flows that way, because it should.

I'm stuck on 'therein'. I feel like you can either use the word 'shit' OR the word 'therein'.
It's either, "Yea, verily I say unto thee: wallow in excrement and die therein."
Or, "Eat shit and die, Mothefucker."
Or, my personal favorite....
"Die screaming, you pig spawn trollup." ~Atia, Rome
I'm rating this a 9 for passion but a 4 for execution.
EDIT: Make that a 3 for execution.

I have such sensitive skin and it seems to get more sensitive every day. So, here's my plug for Patricia Wexler and her skin-care system.
This is just the moisturizer and some people get a flush from it, but for me, it just makes my pores disappear. You get it through Bath and Body Works, of all places. It's available on Amazon, too.

I totally agree, as soon as I saw she had entered I thought, well there goes any chance I may have had. I mean that in a nice way too. She is remarkable and once I read her entry I knew it would be the winner or at the very least in the top three.
I love your work too Verbal.
Others I admire at the moment (It does constantly change with new authors coming in and others not writing for awhile) and I am sure I will leave some out.

Are you a judge, winner, author or reader of the competition stories???
I'm trying to figure out how the top three "On The Road" stories won the Feb/Mar 2017 writing competition. The stories certainly seemed deserving, but how were those picked.
Aside from the basics, such as grammar, spelling, story, characters, etc., interested in viewpoints on...
(a) What characteristics are present in winning stories, compared to the rest?
(b) What styles of writing are favored, and what are disliked? For example, would James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, or William Faulkner be more likely to win, assuming they dabbled in erotica. I'm assuming Hemingway's more plebian approach would be favored or the complicated sentences of Faulkner, or the dense literary allusions of Joyce, but perhaps I'm wrong.
(c) Assuming all other things are equal, to what degree does the writer's previous contributions here on Lush influence judging? Does a lot of work here help? Do high reader scores help? Do previous competitions entries help? Do previous competition victories help (or hurt) ?
(d) Aside from the obvious, what other factors help make a winner?
(e) Finally, has competition victory helped you promote yourself as an author, and if so, how did you use it?
Inquiring minds want to know!
(a) Writing is such a subjective thing. I'm a writer, reader, and winner. I like to try to guess the top three and I usually get two out of the three correct. I'm looking for a style that's easy to read, a plot that draws me to the end, and characters that I enjoy reading about, whether they're good or bad. And creativity.
(b) I like something that is conversational, personally. But I'm sure everyone has their preferences.
(c) I assume none. I have no reason to think otherwise.
(d) Look at the winners. Weren't they just engaging stories with fabulous naughty bits? That's what you need.
(e)
