All you need to record is a microphone and audacity to record and edit your audio.

Yeah, you need a lot of audacity all right...and that plug-in is pretty lame...

Audacity is pretty easy to use, btw...it's basically just hit the "record" button and talk...it's much easier than Cakewalk, for instance as far as set up...

Reminds me I need to replace the 1/4 to mini adapter for my mic and do a few audios myself...it's somewhere on my "To Do" list for the coming year...

I'd appreciate it if you check with me first in future, prior to posting links to other erotic story sites.

Sorry Nic...really didn't think a pay site that only buys a sub group of stories could be viewed as a competitor...just trying to help out my fellow Lushkins...

Feel free to delete or edit anything here...make like you own the joint... Regaeman Man

No, not that joint, only kidding...reminds me, I have to send you a note about something else btw...

Every Night Erotica is one of those so called "erotic e-Zines" that buys erotic stories, um, every night...

I believe I can post this here, because I would not call it a competing site...they certainly do not post all submissions, and they do pay...if only three bucks per story...and they accept previously published stuff...so, if you have a story posted here on this fine site known as Lush, and feel like making a few dollars...OK, pocket change...I say go for it...

And there are reasons to sell stories other than the big three bucks they drop in your PayPal account...it always looks good for an author if they can say they actually got paid for a story...the fact is, about 99.999% of people who write will never make a dime...

Btw, they buy stories under 2k words...and they only want stuff that would be considered "vanilla"...no S & M, bondage, fresh ginger, inflatable barnyard animals, midget tossing gang bangs...you get the idea...

Anyway...they really are almost desperate to put money in your pocket...here is a message I got from the owner, and my response...you can see how badly they really want to pay you...if you just send in your stuff...

Dear Sexy Author,

Help save Every Night Erotica!

Well after 19 months Every Night Erotica is still going, thanks to you. We have published more than 585 stories! ENE would like to continue to publish your erotic, romantic and BDSM encounters however, we are getting low on submissions!

We need your sexy stories in order to keep up our daily publications or we won't survive. So please, we are asking for your help! Send your submissions to http://www.everynighterotica.com/submit-story/ using our online form. Please email directly if you have any problems using our online submssions process. And please pass this plea along to your sexy writer friends -- there is plenty of room for everyone to get published.

We are also accepting your XXX-mas stories for the holiday season!

Remember our guidelines; stories must be 2000 words or less (or you can divide your story into two as long as each part is balanced with enough erotic sex to satisfy your reader!) and your story must be edited for continuity, spelling and grammar. You may submit only your stories you have the rights to if they have been published in the past. And you may submit up to three stories simultaneously!

Check out our site for all the genres we publish www.everynighterotica.com.

We look forward to receiving your submissions soon.

Sincerely,

Hey Jennifer...I appreciate your concern, and if I can be frank, I think at times the quality of some of the posts have suffered in recent months...
Is there any way you could up the word count limit to 2500? I have a few I could send you that you may like...I know Natasha Brooks over on Bare Back did that, and I was able to send her a lot more...

Just something to consider...I have a few good stories that just cross the 2k mark, and I've sent you all that I have under 2k...
I haven't been writing erotica much these days...doing a bit better in the non-erotic world, but that's another story...

Again, something to consider...let me know...
Cheers,
Alan.

to me
Hi Alan,

Thanks so much for your feedback. I have to agree that some of the posts recently haven't been up to par -- the pickings have been slim and so that is the result. I think I will talk to my team about increasing the word count -- I'm sure we'll still get our share of shorter stories so it won't be every night that we publish a long-er story... I'll keep you up to date.

Congratulations on your success with the non-erotic side of your writing, I wish you continued success.

Sincerely,
Jennifer Case

Good Evening my Lushketeer friends...is that Mr. Scooter buying the house a round? That home made whiskey kit works fast, I can see you really aged that stuff Scooter...

Yeah, pass me a tall glass of Old Scooters Twelve Minute Old, the pride of East Ohio no doubt...and give me a shot of something a bit smoother to chase it with...maybe a tall glass of white lightning...

Nice to see everyone here...Mr. Algol, the lovely Chef, Holly, and of course the always righteous Miss Mazza...

Just remember those old wise words..."The answer my friend is blowing in the wind"...yeah, right...

Anyway...in case you are in serious need of entertainment later...I just posted this warning, I mean announcement, around town in various fine establishments such as this...

Just a reminder that the radio show is tomorrow, Friday at 2:00PM EST, so you can plan to skip school, call in sick from work, forget to pick the kids up...whatever you need to do, because frankly, if you miss this one you are just a nowhere square who just don't care...alright, I tried...go listen to the show...and no drunken hecklers please, because I do heckle back... happy8

Don't forget to inform your new moderator of your personal rules of the room and that the site terms and guidelines are to be followed.

Yeah, make sure you explain the job before you leave...and give them all the necessary contracts to sign, and make sure they read and understand the fine print...

How much does a chat room moderator make, btw? Is it a good career choice?

Just asking...

Good Evening my fellow Lushketeers...I heard a rumor going around that the neighborhood this fine establishment is situated in just turned five today...I mean, if that don't call for a celebration certainly nothing does...

A fine site like this surely don't turn five every day...no doubt a party of great magnitude be in order...

Hey Chef, anything left in that bottle of Irish stuff? Or did you let Scooter, Coma, Tose and Terrance get to it?

Jeez, I hope not...
Cheers,
Alan.

It's common practice in guides such as this when the words in a set begin with different letters. Elicit and Illicit are listed in two separate places as well.

I didn't know all that...I thought you were just trying to confuse me...

Maybe we should have a thread "Commonly Confused Lush Members"...then again, maybe not... happy8

Quote by DLizze
My first love was not THE ONE. When we split up, we both knew it. I sometimes wonder, though, how she ended up. She was drop-dead gorgeous and too smart by half; all a seventeen year-old kid could want, and then some. We had a few problems, because she was "officially" black, and I was "officially" white. In the very early 1960's, that was some serious shit, even in Baltimore. And it was especially serious shit at a couple of places we went in to get served. I boycotted Double Tee Diners for thirty years after some of those ugly incidents. We never got beat up, or arrested, but we came damned close a couple of times. I met her at a Buddy Dean record hop. He was the first DJ in Baltimore to break the race barrier.

That sounds like the makings of a good story, btw...just saying... happy8

Yeah, you can have an Amen, in fact two if it will make you happy...now can I have a drink?

And yeah Algol, I just assumed you would get us all the same as last year...that reminds me, I still have to do my holiday shoplifting this year...

This is a link to a series of articles on writing in deep point of view by Toni Andrews, she is one of my fellow authors over at DWB now, and this article was recommended by Marie McGaha of DWB because "head hopping and POV issues are an editors worst nightmare"...

Anyway, in case you don't know Toni Andrews, she is also Virginia Reede at Ellora's Cave if that helps...here's the link...

How to Write in Deep Point of View Part 1

Btw, Toni wrote "BTW, I get paid for people clicking on the advertising links. JUST SAYING."...

The forum is separate from the rest of the site,

The forum is separate from the rest of the site? Since when did the forum declare its independence?

Does is have its own government and laws and stuff? Cool...I missed all this in the news...

Good Morning my fellow Lushketeers...that was a beautiful sermon there Reverend about cracking open a case of Old Overshoe...most inspirational...in fact, I would go out on a limb and say that this might be your most inspired Sunday morning sermon I've heard here yet...

Since we are once again out of communion wine (hiccup)...pass me over a tall glass of bourbon...

Who we got propping up the bar today? Looks like Chef and FtLMale...welcome there FtL, I'm sure Old Reverend Rump reminded you that your money is good here anytime, and the usual warnings to newbies, like use the bathroom at your own risk, and don't hand off your car keys to anyone standing outside, we do not have valet parking here...

You'll figure it out soon enough...pass that bourbon Rump...

Cheers,
Alan.

However at a Flintstones fancy dress party some years ago a guy said: "I'm no Barney Rubble but I'd sure love to make your 'bed rock', I was so amused - I let him.

That line worked, eh?

We are compiling a list of words that are often mistaken for one another in writing. Each pair or group has its own forum thread, with links provided below. This list is in alphabetical order, and word pairs that begin with different letters may be listed twice. It will be updated as more threads are added.

These are some of the most troublesome sets. For a fairly comprehensive list of sound-alike words, see Alan Cooper's Homonym List, and for a compilation of myriad mistakes often made in English usage, visit Paul Brians' Common Errors in English Usage.

• Areola - Aureole

• Because - Cause

• Click - Clique

• Complement - Compliment

• Discreet - Discrete

• Further - Farther

• Elicit - Illicit

• Faze - Phase

• Illicit - Elicit

• Loose - Lose

• Peak - Pique

• Phase - Faze

• Shutter - Shudder

• Their - There - They're

• Throes - Throws

• To - Too - Two

• Your - You're

Is it my imagination Ms Rascal, or did you repeat Phase and Faze?

You know, changing the order does not make them two separate sets of words...I know this thread implies that we get things confused, but I don't think we're that easily confused... Regaeman Man

But to have the ability to edit posts in the forums would be nice.
Maybe it is there and I don't understand it but there are times when I see a spelling error I made or to clarify a thought that didn't read right.

There should be a button on the upper right that says "Edit"...click on that and you can edit your posts...then, just hit "Post" again when your done...

Good Evening Lushkins...so, we haven't been paying the water bill, eh? That's why there's no water...and all along I thought it was because Scooter sold the copper pipes for scrap...live and learn...

And yeah, the thought of Bust, Chef, Sharon and Holly wearing white T-shirts out in the rain is enough to make a guy start to think...

And btw, if it don't rain that day I can always volunteer to hold the hose...just trying to help...

What we got in the way of drink specials going on here anyway? It is pretty darn near the weekend...anything left in that Crown Royal bottle Rump? Ok, I figured it was gone...what we got left around here that's drinkable...

And don't tell me that box of kosher wine...

Boy! Good thing I didn't reverse the order of those names; Fugs might have thought I was casting aspersions on her looks. :-)

Lol...that sounds like the start of a new forum game...combine the names of two Lush members...

Or, do we have that one already? I lose count over there...
