A hundred stories is a great achievement, but what is even better is the quality of your writing.

Quote by JamesLlewellyn
Now, Kistin, I didn't say I was plaint, merely straight.
(But between you and me……what did you have in mind?)
Quote by Twisted_Skald
Annie if you post that and stand there looking that hot, I can't promise my fingers won't do a little wandering.
Just saying.

Tip toes into the bar. It’s about 11:30, makes a hot chocolate, lots of mini marshmallows.
Good news, my sister-in-law waited to cremate my brother-in-law. So he will be in a casket for viewing at the wake. I’m going to put my poem in the casket. Sounds like a lot of family will be there. I’m glad, it will be easier on my husband.
It’s snowing pretty good here. I guess we will get about 4” by morning. Not bad, but makes me wish I bought a maga million ticket. Wishing I was in a FL Keys.
Happy congratulations to all the country’s celebrating something.
Quote by JamesLlewellyn
Just spoke to our Aussie cousins in Sydney, and they tell us it's really hot there today.
Normally that would mean everyone was down at the beach, but now everyone's sweltering at home.
Still, it's Oz Day, so Lady Jay and I had a nice Cabernet Sauvignon from SouthEast Australia with dinner, just to commemorate the day … plus we like it.

Evening/morning all. Hugs to all those who need them.
I thought I'd pop in for a drink, as I just submitted part three of my series (link in signature won't work until it's been verified). Yay! I can start reading again! I wasn't too happy with this chapter until tonight, but I think now I am. If you haven't read part 2 and intend to, don't look at the tags for this one, it might give the surprise away. This one should appeal to those who thought Inglourious Basterds lacked nudity and monster sex.
Now I'd better go to bed, as I'll be taking the kids to the Invasion Day march tomorrow, weather permitting. Australia Day is not entirely uncontroversial here, so in honour of those for whom the day is not such a celebration, here is Southeast Desert Metal, a band from an Aboriginal community not far from Alice Springs:
Quote by Twisted_Skald
For our proud Aussies, especially my dear Pilot who pulls me to my feet when I stumble.
For a nation that started last year ablaze, faced down the virus, and stands tall.
Today let's all stand together, and for one tiny moment sing together with joyful heart.
Quote by deviantsusie
Giggles, nice to see you're a real Scotsman James ?
I'll have a beer.. Cheers Michelle.. And Curvy, Rachel, Annie, Lucky and the rest of the girls.
James is right though, the last few days have seen some fantastic writing coming out of Rumps.. Here's to plenty more![]()
Quote by Twisted_Skald
Keep spinning tunes Annie and huge hugs.
Quote by Twisted_Skald
The fact Susie, Rachel and Curvy are all in the bar once, makes me smile.
The boys have had it their own way for far too long it needs a fine body (indeed bodies) of women to properly show them how it's done.
Lead on sisters!
Quote by JamesLlewellyn
And Annie, may I propose we decorate Rumples in green and gold to celebrate OZ day (Jan. 26th), and that we all learn how to sing "Advance Austrailia Fair" together? Lady Jay and I have cousins in Oz, and as they were kind enough to join with us in singing "O Canada" when we visited them on Canada Day a few years back, I feel it's only right to return the favour. That is, if you can leave off teasing Bonnie long enough to join us… Just sayin'…
Quote by deviantsusie
Reading that piece of filth that James has posted on the front page reminded me of this song..
I think it's Australian but I'm sure the curious Annie would know more..
hope everyone is behaving themselves.. fuck, who am I kidding.. it's Rumps.. I'll have a gin and tonic.
I'm trying desperately to finish another story so I can't stay too long... I may be back for a beer later![]()
By the way, I agree, Rumps. Vanessa's story rocks. I had to fan myself off afterwards.. hmm... wonders if fan was the correct word![]()

rough day. give me... hmm... one of everything. and keep them coming.![]()

Thinking about kiss mechanics for myself and Jane tonight.
I'm tiny, she's tall, and my balance is shot, so I probably wouldn't be able to be on my tiptoes for long.

fuck. I've been found out. *packs bags, moves to argentina*
Quote by PNGd
Buddy, you’ve been around long enough to know Annie is Lush royalty. She epitomizes the salaciousness that this site is, and has amply been rewarded with a massive following. She’s a past comp winner, a very naughty lady, and comes with the whole package. Everyone wants to sleep with Annie. She’s THAT sexy. She knows how to play this writing game. She knows that a title grabs the reader’s attention. A good cover pic starts the salivating and anticipation. And because it’s Annie, we all know it’s going to be naughty as fuck. Plan your work, then work your plan, and you too will get a bunch of views. It basic marketing. But it helps to have a smokin’ ass like Annie.

I'm putting the shortlist together over the next few days for the judges.
A reminder to those contestants who deliberately try and gain an advantage by voting down other entrants' stories:
I can see who's voted on every story on the site, and which vote they have given out.
I remove all such malicious voting on stories and the people responsible get filed away in my memory banks as conniving bad sports!
Quote by LucaByDesign
Hi, Annie.
Are you saying you have so many stories already on the back burner you can take one and model to fit the competiton's specification?
Have you ever written a competition story from scratch?
Quote by JamesLlewellyn
Violet, Daisy, whose real name is Sara (we think) loves mini marshmallows, and Bill (Rumples) keeps a special stash for her behind the counter. But ifyou're nice to her, she has been known to share, and loves hot chocolate, too!
Now, as for sprite (Rachel) she tends to fade in and out, rather like the Cheshire Cat. In fact, there are those who believe she IS the Cat. But be wary – her smile is worse than her bite…
Larry over there, the polite one (Green_Man) is friendly, too, and most times a gentleman. Can write, too.
Folks, Violet can write better than most of us, and just entered her first competition with "Emma's Awakening". If you've read it, I suspect you'll agree as to her ability. If you haven't – well, you're in for a treat:
