Quote by Torquatus
It amazes me to think that there are people brave enough not to lie to some they love or find attractive. It is wonderful to be completely honest! It must feel good! But given that shame has been so deeply a part of my character since infancy and given the pain of being rejected, I have great difficulty imagining perfect honesty.

Did I read that right? Was that a misprint?

Why would you lie to someone you "love or find attractive" unless you wanted to be rejected?

Good Afternoon Lushketeers...I'll second Mr. Algol's advice and take my cup of sealing tar with a double shot of Sams Club Irish whiskey on the side...doesn't really matter which side, left or right, I'll figure it out...

And I really do think the idea of a badge for Rumple's finest really should be in order...I think some sort of badge may be in order for surviving this coffee lately...perhaps a Purple Heart, or some other indication of extreme bravery...

Yeah Mr. Rump...I really do believe I can help you out over on Stories Space as far as adding a suitable avatar to your fine profile over there...I was just looking through the unused avatar picture collection over in the back room at Stories Space...

Hmmm....let's see...we have an old Donny and Marie poster, I see a nice picture of Pee Wee Herman coming out of a theater in handcuffs, oh yeah, I think I can find you a nice avatar picture...

You really want me to handle this, eh? Lol... happy8

Pass that shot over here and I'll go look some more...
Cheers,
Alan.

I was a bit disappointed to see it was just descriptions with numbers vs good descriptions. When it comes to writing I prefer written descriptions as opposed to plain number measurements.

I was thinking we could start sort of a "sub thread" for people who prefer the numerical descriptions...

You know...the usual questions could be discussed...stuff like...

Do you prefer base ten measurements to binary?
How many places to the right of the decimal do you normally round off to?
Is scientific notation ever appropriate in a sex story?
When describing the angle of an erection, do you prefer degrees or radians?

I have no doubt that you could suggest a few more... happy8

But if I want to embed one of them in a comment or email, I can't use the copy I have. I have to go out and find the internet address of the original. Very frustrating. I would like to embed my own locally saved pics/gifs in comments.

You can send your locally saved pics in messages here...just go into "account"..."image gallery" then click on the image and copy the URL up top...paste it into a message, and the picture shows up...believe me, done it many times...

Sure, Mr. Martini. *sashays to profile and see the badges* wow, what a big collection you got there. What is it going to take for me to get the Editor's Pick badge?

Oh, I just love that when you say what a big collection I have... icon_smile

Let's go into Rumple's office and discuss that Editor Pick...shall we? Just lock the door behind you...we don't want to be disturbed talking, um, "business"...

Hey Mr. Rump...I think we got a problem here buddy...some joker over on Stories Space, Lush's non-erotic story site, has the balls to be using your name...yeah, that's right some joker signed up using the name Rumple...

I'm a moderator over there now, so if you just say the word I can delete their sorry ass...I gots the power brother... Regaeman Man

Btw, Mr. Rumple...you should check that site out when you get a chance...it's a very nice, classy site...I know, I don't know why they let me on there either... dontknow

Good Morning Lushketeers...did I hear fresh coffee is coming up? What's the matter, that tar like substance in the coffee maker is passed it's useful shelf life...it may have been days ago, but whatever...

Hey Rump, at least when the temperature is that high you save on certain things...I mean, you don't have to put the oven on...you could cook a roast on the hood of your car...

Here in on the east coast we just have earthquakes now...I hope this doesn't turn into a whole new trend...not the way I want to mix my drinks....

Cheers,
Alan.

Did somebody say Mr. Rumple was handing out free rusty cans of Pabst? Wow, that's practically top shelf around this joint...come to think of it, it is top shelf...

What happened Rump, somebody drop some folding money in the collection plate on Sunday? No...that can't be it...

Whatever...hand me a rusty can of PBR and a piece of steel wool so I can at least get enough rust off the top to avoid lockjaw...thanks...much obliged...

(hey, it's in the Telegraph, it MUST be true!!)

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/4799157/Damp-Squid-The-top-10-misquoted-phrases-in-Britain.html

The top ten misquotes by British people are as follows:

1) A damp squid (a damp squib)

2) On tender hooks (on tenter hooks)

3) Nip it in the butt (nip it in the bud)

4) Champing at the bit (chomping at the bit)

5) A mute point (a moot point)

6) One foul swoop (one fell swoop)

7) All that glitters is not gold (all that glisters is not gold)

8) Adverse to (averse to)

9) Batting down the hatches (batten down the hatches)

10) Find a penny pick it up (find a pin pick it up)

That was interesting...Number 1 I have never heard of in my life...and 7 and 10 I'm guilty of myself...

Good Afternoon Lushers and Lushettes...as the good Chef noted the other day, we here at this fine establishment known as Rumplebations celebrated the 500th page recently...

I just want to note that this is the 15,000th post here at Rumple's place...surely that calls for some sort of big celebration...

My man Rumple...why don't you break out the good stuff...you must be hiding a bottle of Sams Club 12 week old single malt, or something equally fine...

Let's go for it...I say party.... occasion9

Would you buy a self published book by someone you didn't know personally?

Hell No!

Quote by Mistress_of_words

Do you think it is acceptable for established authors to drop their publishers and go it alone once they have an established fan base?

This is what I was looking for, actually it's not really the same article I was looking for...but, same subject about Alisa Valdez...someone shared an article over on Facebook a few months back where she said she makes six times the royalties per book by self-publishing...plus the greater control...

I say, if you're already a million selling author...by all means, go for it... happy8

Damn, I just commented on this topic yesterday over on Stories Space in response to someone who mentioned self-publishing...

Let's do the easy way and copy and paste...

"Yeah, that's about the same as I have in mind...except the part about self-publishing...I really don't recommend self-publishing to anyone, unless you are already an established author with a following, or some sort of celebrity...again with a significant following...if you don't believe me, ask some people who have self-published how many books they have sold...

I know it's easy these days, and tempting...but, there are a lot of publishers out there that specialize in more "adult" stuff, and are looking for new authors...

Check out the Erotic Readers & Writers Association website for a start...they have a significant list...
http://www.erotica-readers.com/ERA/AR/Erotica_Authors_Resources.htm

Legitimate established publishers have websites that people visit looking for new titles, they also get titles reviewed, post new releases in trade publications, send out lists of new titles to people on their mailing lists, and other assorted marketing-type stuff...after all, they have a vested interest in selling your book, that's how they make money...you're not going to compete on your own...

And if every one of those listed on that page should happen to turn you down, which I tend to doubt actually...send me a PM and I'll send you links to more..."

Good Afternoon Lushketeers...and a big, hearty congratulations to the big Five-Oh-Oh milestone here at the world famous Rumplebations Bar...located rather conveniently in the heart of your favorite sex story forum...

Did I hear Mr. Rumple say there is a two for one drink special? Hmmm...if my reasoning is correct, and I believe it just may be...that would be the same as a buy one, get one free special...which means that one drink is free...

I'll tell you what Mr. Rumple...just give me the free one for now, I'll come back for the other one later...

"two alternatives" drive me mad - you can only have one "alternative" - also the use of text language as in cu etc

You can't have two alternatives? If you have three choices all together, and you pick one...didn't you have two alternatives?

Hmmm...not sure I agree with some of these recent posts...

I do agree about the text language though...I don't even use text language when texting...

You know, I agree fully with the people who posted here saying that she is only hurting herself...no doubt about that...in the same way that someone who sits around and smokes crack all day long, or drinks until their liver literally rots is "only hurting themselves"...

Here is the quote from the article that struck me though...

"Dr Flite said Susanne’s medical checks showed no current problems, adding: “She’s capable of making her own decisions. I don’t see any psychiatric problems or anything else wrong.”

I mean..."Hello"...here is a woman who is already so fat she can't walk, and she's talking about trying for the 2000 lb. mark, which would make her as big as a Volkswagen...and nobody sees anything wrong?

Maybe it's just me... dontknow
