NO, I've signed a contract with Lushstories and can only send naked pictures of myself to other Lushies for 5 years. But you can't get them unless you have signed up for the Platinum Membership.
PS. So far Sprite is the only Platinum so I have to send her naked pictures everyday.
Well... Caitlyn Jenner is a lot more attractive than the step daughter, Kim K.
Life is full of surprises or it would be real boring. Just accept people for who they are.
ME! I am excited about Season 2. In fact, my wife and I just watched Season 1 this week on HBO OnDemand. It was great!
My wife and I have posed for each other in photos, her idea. She is the photographer hobbyist in our relationship.
I have read the Bible through twice and a lot of the Guinness Book of World Records. That's all from that list.
There is no set formula. In fact going by a formula will probably be self-destructive to the story. Some stories, written just right, have a long character building, drama setting build-up – a long tease. Then the sex could either be just a tease in itself or a great long climatic sex scene at the end. Any scenario can work if the writer does it right.
Also, the story could jump right into the sex and be nearly all sex and work to perfection.
Don't go by a formula. Work on developing your writing skill, on how to develop great plots whether they be complex or simple, long or short.

Now I really liked the book, The Exorcist, but I've never seen the movie, except for the out take scenes of the girl throwing up green puke and her head spinning.
Will, where I work we are constantly talking ideas. The vast majority get picked apart but sometimes we do hit on a gem. Everyone is supposed to put forward ideas. Our system won't there work without that, so we grow a thick skin about getting them tossed, torn apart, changed, killed or whatever. There is nothing wrong with putting forward ideas. Any creative idea person will probably tell you that they go through a lot of ideas before they come up the the real winner. There is no need at all for you to feel like you have to apologize for anything.
That's not good since several US government as well as various state government websites we are required to use at work use Adobe Flash and Oracle Java.
So, no one here has a ZZ Top style long, almost to their knees, bushy bush? Where's the sense of adventure, the daring, the individuality?
As a story verifier I can testify that we already have a damn good quality control system. Y'all wouldn't believe the number of stories that we reject. We try our best to inform the author of what they need to do in order to edit and improve their story so that it meets our standards. They can then edit and rewrite so that their story is good enough to resubmit.
Because Lushstories is aimed at amateur writers we have set the bar high but still attainable for the beginning short story and poem writer. It is up to you as writers to push yourselves to improve. On Lush you have access to many writers who have honed their writing skills to a high level. You can glean what you can from their work and also ask your fellow writers to help you with ideas and thoughts to make your own better, so that you may grow as a writer.
I would vehemently oppose the deletion of older stories or any stories, already approved for lack of popularity or any other reason such. I believe that would create a negative and hostile atmosphere, destroy morale and be counter productive to this site.
Popularity of stories can depend upon several factors. Quality is often one of them but not always. Some stories may be popular because of the level at which they are written. We have stories written in great depth that appeals to many readers and for some it is the simplicity. Yes, we can look at popular culture as an example. In pop music, certainly there are mega hit songs that have little musical depth. But so it is. That is life. On the other hand there are many mega hits that exhibit great musical depth and originality.
Making tweaks, every now and then, to a successful venture may be good, but such major changes as suggested, in my meager opinion, could be a catastrophic mistake to a popular site like Lushstories. Lushstories has used this certain format to bring it this far, why crack the foundation now? It also would narrow the type of people reading this site, creating a much lower viewership. That result could easily be that the site is no longer affordable and Nicola would have to take it down.
And as it was said already, there are some gems of stories here that don't have that many votes, views or have not scored well for various reasons. Part of the fun of Lush is exploring the site for enjoyable reading.
The difference is maturity. Some men acquire it sooner than others, and some maybe never.
Maturity = responsibility, common sense, experience, reasonable and appropriate behavior.
Try and get some sleep. You know you've got a bunch of friends. I'm hoping you'r feeling calmer soon, buddy.
The one where I'm laid back, she is on top, I have a glass of bourbon on the nightstand and she is grinding on me while I eat a sandwich, watch TV and smoke a cigar. She finds that very satisfying!
My city of Atlanta voted a resolution in favor of gay marriage. But since marriage is a state provision by law, it is only ceremonial, officially saying it has our support.
In the USA, each of the 50 states has its own say so by law, but that can be overridden by either the US Supreme Court by court decision or by a constitutional amendment. A constitutional amendment would have to be passed by a two-thirds majority or more of the 50 states or by a two-thirds majority or more of both the US House of Representatives and the US Senate.
Lush is a site for amateur writers to grow and develop their abilities. I think we currently have a much better site and system than any of the competition does. I really think seriously changing what already works would be detrimental. If its working, don't fix it.
The popularity of the site, massive numbers of story views and our ever growing number of story and poem submissions are proof that Lushstories is doing a great job as it is. I'm very happy with it.
Put your heart and soul into your writing and have fun doing it. I think the female audience can really pick up on that.
