Lesbianism. It doesn't turn me on and I don't think it's my place to write about it.

Pirate porn is off limits, too.

I'm sure I could come up with more. But there is a start. bosses, steam cleaners, plants, and tractors. GROSS!

And then there is james mischner who's book Texas rewrote Texas history and a copy of his Chesapeake is I think floating in Chesapeake Bay still when I threw it out a hanger deck door.

So how about if you havent post any new topis on Lush, for the first 2 you want to start, the system takes you to the search part of the site and says you have to look first if its already been ask before you can post?

Ok. A serious answer.
One. write. A lot. First stories I put up here didn't get all that many reads. The more i wrote, the more reads i got. Sheer volume made it so that i was a familiar name as a writer.

Two. Write well. Seems like a non brainer, but yeah, don't just put something up to put something up. Put the time and effort into making it the best you can. It doesn't matter if it's not Shakespeare or even close. make it the best YOU can.

Three. Be interesting. Make your stories stand out. don't write cliched, put some twists in or something to make it unique so that people take note.

Four. Get known. Really easy, actually, tho it takes a bit of time. Post in the forums a lot. be funny or smart of silly or eccentric or sexy, just sort of get your name out there.

Five. You want people to read your stuff? put some work into your bio page - fill out your entire biography and make it attractive, not just a list, but show off your skills. pick and avatar that reflects you, a back ground, some photos. Take advantage of a blog! show off your skills with little paragraphs of what is up in your life, or poetry, or little bits of fiction, just something to make people go hmm... interesting.

Six. Thank people for comments. I don't always find time to thank everyone who comments on my stories, but i do make an effort to send out notes from time to time saying 'thank you for taking time to read my stories'. It's always nice to be appreciated, and often, people will be more likely to read your stuff cause of that.

Seven. Be friendly. doesn't mean you have to cyber people, but take a moment to visit chat rooms and get to know folks. Put it out there that you're a writer. An occasional hour in a chat room will brush elbows with at least 25 people. do it enough, they remember you, check out your profile, etc.

Banners are a good idea for your signature. Some send alerts to their friend's list, but i'm not a big fan of that. Others put up alerts on their blogs or mention that they are working on stories and give out updates and hints.

Hope that helps. As for what day or at the beginning of the month or end... i don't think, in the long run, it matters. Sometimes it's just pure luck. Sometimes i write stories that i think are just going to amaze people and they get get ignored. Sometimes i write things that i think are ok, but not great and people dump praise all over me. i used to get kind of emo about readership, but after a while, i learned to relax. yeah, it's great to have tons of readers, but with as many stories as there are on lush, sometimes you just get lost in the crowd. if that happens, figure out how to stand out a little.
