It happens all the time. Some of my best stories are "intruders". Take "Rachel's Panties" for example. Or "It's Not A Fetish". They both just slipped inside my head while I was trying my best to continue the stories already there. Sometimes, though, I do have to step back and squash an idea into two or three lines in my "bunny cage" document so I don't completely abandon the other stories, but it's hard.

Introduce the title of your story: Heat
Genre/Category: Group Sex Stories
Provide the link: http://www.lushstories.com/stories/group-sex/heat.aspx
1. What first inspired you to write this particular story?
Uhm. Heat. Really, it was topping 100°F here, which is not really common, and I'd been sweating my ass off for days. Then I tried to continue one of my ongoing storylines, but I simply couldn't focus due to the heat. The idea to write a story centering around just that was almost inevitable.
2. How did you come up with these characters?
I guess they were born from emotions. My female main character is the personification of my barely contained annoyance about not being able to write what I had intended to, and the situation that sets off the story just came naturally. She's fed up (having all reasons to be, unlike I myself had when I wrote it) and easily irritated, but she's about to make a major discovery about herself. My male character needed to mirror a lot of her traits to enable them to bump heads, so he took shape right along with her.
3. How does it differ from some of your other stories?
It's driven more by outside influence than most of my other stories, which work from a deep-seated need inside my main characters - that outside influence being mostly the constant heat. It has got more conflict, and to make that palpable, I wrote it in present tense.
4. What was the most challenging thing about writing this piece?
Even if I run into the danger of sounding repetitive - the heat. I was feeling as if I'd never be able to rid myself of that clingy coating of sweat, and the idea of stepping under the shower and staying there forever got more inviting with every typed word.
5. Anything else you want to tell us about it?
Keep a bottle of water and a towel handy. Read at your own risk. It earned a Recommended Read, so I don't think it is too shabby. There's a serious confrontation, a mean little act of revenge, one or two embarrassing moments, a naughty twist and, at least I hope, some sizzling heat which doesn't have anything to do with the weather.

Like flighty little kisses, we have learned
to catch unsaid acknowledgement
when brilliant insight's seedlings touch our hands
and we help nurture them with thoughtful, loving care.
We cheer when they grow high to touch the sky,
rejoice when polished little pebbles of ideas
turn shiny and begin to sparkle prettily,
into delightful crystal blossoms then unfold.
But there is nothing like such heartfelt thanks,
that blanket-like wraps 'round our hearts
and keeps them warm and sending little smiles
onto our lips whenever chilling winds blow forth.
Thank you!

Pleases see my reply in the thread you started about missing stories.
Story Verifier
I don't know that one in particular, but there a multiple possible reasons. Some authors, for various reasons which are mostly private, leave the site and delete their accounts, taking their stories with them. Some stories have been affected by content policy changes over time and had to be taken offline, which I believe might be the cause with this one. If you have a look at our disclaimer, you should be able to see if it matches one of the disallowed subjects and was affected. There's also the chance, especially with good stories, that the authors published them as ebooks and took them offline here to be able to do so. Sometimes, authors also take their stories offline while they continue working on them.

On this topic, I have a question for the mods: I'm new to your website and have begun posting a story, Glamour Shots, now thru 4 chapters, (with chapter 5 recently submitted) and I've been trying to post longer segments (8,000-10,000 words) with the idea of keeping the entire story to the fewest possible number of chapters; is it better for you for me to do it that way, or does it make your lives easier if I post more often with shorter chapters, say 4,000-5,000 words each?
I'm flexible and am more than willing to do it whichever way you prefer, if it makes any difference. Thanks for your help - and for providing such a great site!!
It's of course easier for us to proofread a story that is only half as long, and there's a likeliness that it gets approved a little faster too. Sometimes we only have limited time for verifying between other commitments, so we have to skip over very long stories we wouldn't be able to check in one go. On the other hand, having a few longer series here myself, I've seen that the higher the chapter numbers go, the less feedback they tend to get initially; then, there's always the danger of ending up with a "filling chapter" that lacks (in some readers' eyes) action when existing chapters are broken up. As there's not much to correct in your stories and if sometimes waiting a day longer for approval isn't a problem for you, it's quite okay to post the longer chapters. Thank you a lot for being so considerate!
As a general wish for all authors who get their initial drafts sent back more or less regularly, here less is more. The shorter the story, the more detailed feedback on what should be fixed and how to do it we can give. We're limited in space (1000 characters) and obviously time with our rejection messages, so we can't always point out all the fine things we'd like to. Also, we can often fix the issues in a shorter story with a small number of mistakes quickly and point out what we changed in the approval notices, whereas longer stories have to be sent back more often for corrections so other submissions don't get pushed back too much.

Quote by BethanyFrasier
Gold Membership really comes in handy as far as approval wait-times! I used to wait as long as 4 days to have stories approved. My last one was approved in less than 15 minutes! (...but then Sprite has a big crush on me! ;-)
The four days are because you're submitting whole novels ;)
You've got no idea how long it takes to go through more than 10,000 words when you've got one hand between your legs and the other too, uhm, shaky to find the mouse...
More serious, though, there's hardly anything less predictable than story influx at Lush. Not even counting the number of stories in the queue, sometimes I'm lucky and four stories together give eight or nine thousand words and can be verified in an hour. Other times, that's the word count for the shortest one. So, verifying four of them means proofreading a half novel, not the amazon-lets-just-call-it-that-because-it-sells kind but the real thing that, when sold as a paperback, stays standing upright on its own. This isn't meant to discourage long stories, hell, I write those myself. I'm just explaining why verification times can vary a lot, and it's got nothing to do with the story's content, the category or its author.

The pain aspect varies greatly between different models of nipple clamps. But nipples, from experience I'd say no matter if they female or male, are more resilient than you'd think, and the pictures out there often make it look rather painful when all that they give you are small twinges. As said, it varies. If they have rounded edges and a rubber coating, chances are that they aren't all that painful, more pulling than biting. Those with sharp edges are along the lines of clothespins, and those with teeth are definitely not for everyone and have to applied with care.
That said, I love the soft variety at the beginning of sexual play as a teasing kind of decoration on my body and a constant reminder of my nudity and subservience. If I'm high-strung with arousal, not all that far from release and with burning skin and my nipples already tingling, a slight (or sometimes not so slight) pain there makes my feelings skyrocket. I don't know if its the endorphins or something else, but there's probably a medical explanation why pain can translate into pleasure when you're aroused. The level of pain differs greatly between individuals though. I like it on the rough side, others can't stand anything more than soft bites, but I'm pretty sure the principle is there in everyone. With the more intense variety (those with teeth), there's also the mental aspect, the thrill of knowing that they could really hurt you which enforces feelings of submission. As with all bdsm practices, what happens in the mind is at least as important as what happens to the body.

I've once had a girlfriend whisper sweet, dirty nothings into my ear for (I think?) an hour, and her wet kisses on that soft spot between shoulders and neck were enough to set me off. She had a PhD in psychology, and deservedly so!

Quote by Liz
The real question is: can you shave it into the shape of a bunny rabbit?
Did someone say bunny? *perks up one ear*
I guess it's not all black-and-white. While shaving has become the thing to do over the last ten years for obvious reasons, most of us (if they admit it or not) tend to be a bit sloppy with the routine, so the "always smooth" rule probably has an impact on most. It's the ritual that counts when you get up in the morning and the first thing after having a coffee is to make sure you're nice and smooth for your master (or mistress). No more declaring that still soft, beginning stubble that hasn't yet turned itchy to be "smooth enough".

Updating, as the numbers grow:
"A Bunnie To Play With" crossed the halfway mark and is now at chapter nine and 43k words here on Lush. The feedback's been great, and parts six and nine even earned a RR!
And I've published another long single story (tho there's going to be a second part) titled "Mile High Sluts" at slightly over 10k. It's one of my juiciest stories here, with lots of slutty debauchery and yumminess.

After having my heart broken for the umpteenth time, I stopped trying to glue it back together and started to freely hand out the shards. So, no idea where they're all carried nowadays. I like to think that sometime, somewhere completely different, they will be re-assembled into something beautiful.

I'm encountering the little word "as" more and more often in the place of a multitude of other conjunctions. It is used as a substitute for "when", "while", "because", "since", "for" and even "and". Sometimes, three quarters of the relative clauses in a story are just those two letters.
Yes, those uses are allowed. But overdoing it makes a story appear flatter than it is. Strive for diversity in picking your words, not a repetitive one-size-fits-all.
Keep in mind that every time they encounter it, readers have to decide which meaning of "as" you use. Sometimes it is clear from the context, but sometimes they have to break their reading flow for a moment. That's something you want to avoid. Try to limit the uses of "as" to its most distinctive one - comparisons. I write "try", not "always do", because there is always that grey area where the aim of diversity may make it a good variation in a paragraph and because direct speech needs to reflect our - sometimes sloppy - everyday use of it.
Another point - depending on which use of "as" you have, you may need to insert a comma or not. Some uses form an essential relative clause whereas others just add non-essential information. In long sentences, we are tempted to read "as" as the start of a prepositional phrase. Consider this (smaller) example: "I lay naked on my bed as a bird passed in front of the window." Some of us may read the expression "naked ... as a bird" there and only realize that this makes no sense when we encounter "passed". While it depends a lot on where you live and what variant of English you hear every day, it is an ambiguity that can easily be worked around by swapping "as" with "when".
There are other conjunctions that can be used with multiple meanings. "while" comes to mind, which can also transport the sense of "whereas". The first one is usually essential information, meaning no comma, while the second one tends to introduce a stand-alone sentence that should have one.
It takes a bit of time to go through a finished story and have a look at each conjunction, but it can make your writing a lot richer and help you catch comma issues and ambiguities.

When I write, I get lost in the fantasy. I imagine events happening before my eyes, much like watching movie, and on a good day, my fingers can hardly keep up with what my characters do (I'm talking about typing, you pervs )
It helps to have silence around me, no TV or radio to distract me, and I wear as little clothing as possible. I always have a cup of coffee nearby, water too, as well as crackers and fruits.

Ahh, that's the correct attitude. You don't mind if I flip up your skirt while everyone watches, do you? Well, it's too late anyhow!
"This is how you punctuate dialogue," I tell you, slapping my hand down hard on your left bum cheek and enjoying how the clap resonates in the open room. "We always use commas." Another slap hits your right cheek. I hear you gasp, almost whimper, "Ow, ow, ow!" It's such a delicious sound that I can't help myself and give each cheek another quick, stinging slap. I squeeze one pert cheek tightly and lean forward, whispering in your ear, "No colon!" Another swat, and I can feel the heat explode under my fingers. The sweetest little whimpers of protest fill the air, and I hit faster, telling you, "No! Colon! To! Introduce! Direct! Speech!" I intersperse each word with another small explosion on your wiggling backside, giving the last two more weight by striking the soft area between your thighs and bottom, and your legs kick out against air.
Rubbing in soft circles over your two glowing half-orbs, I gently ask, "Was that enough blistering?"

Nah, just kidding. Probably something that involves being inside a beautiful woman. A blowjob, regular sex, anal - it all would be so intriguing to experience from the "other side", so it would have to be a spur of the moment decision.

I love that the series' have this way of being recognized (I mean DD's west coast games was just really great!) but it's difficult to understand what the ribbon is for. This post kind of illustrates that. Mazza has been a long time author here. She reads the forums, and makes intelligent posts. Yet she didn't know either what the ribbon was or who it had been awarded to. If the EP panel is going to take the time and effort to award this, I'd like to see it have real merit on the site.
I very much second that. It would be great if there was an "Outstanding Series" button in the categories like there is for Recommended Reads and Editors' Picks. Usually, the target audience tends to vary quite a bit between standalone shorts and series. If such an entry could also only list the first chapter of each awarded series, it would be brilliant, and I'm sure we could attract new readership with it, especially as the novel category is somewhat of a dead horse.
