I have truly appreciated being part of my first forum thread. I am also honored that so many “big names“ in the lush community have weighed in. I am very happy with the end results (cheers, Jen)and I hope that the freedoms you have collectively created in this safe space continue to be something we can all enjoy. Peace, Matt

Yes, I corrected myself about the trending stories. But if you click on all categories, it is no longer listed. Again, you guys are dealing with ever shifting policies that come from massive hypocrites. I do not envy the task, but I appreciate the freedom you established here.

Eye roll indeed… thanks for listening

Well, it happened in the US with video pornography. Everything now must say “step.”

Thanks for responding

I will drop the argument. No changes will be made and I will simply adjust the categories I will write about. There is something else obviously going on that I am not privileged to know.

I’m just disappointed.

But now it is no longer on the homepage, nor will it be listed with new stories or trending stories. I do not understand this decision and why we were not told ahead of time. What is the point of singling out this category only? If people can mute it Why not let them just do that instead of taking it away from everyone?. A vast majority of my work, including my famous story is in this category. I’m extremely disappointed in this decision. Extremely.

I asked an honest question. I did not expect to be accused of producing AI-generated stories or having multiple accounts. Yes, I deleted my old account, the recommended reads, the competition win, and the editor's pics for very personal reasons. I did not return crying about lost stories, nor have I attempted to resubmit any of my old work.

I did not know that having a change of heart was frowned upon by the community. I did not know, in effect, that being a "double-platinum" member would put me under scrutiny. I did not know that having people who wanted me back, would upset you.

The accusation that my stories are AI-generated rubs me all the wrong ways. I very actively try to avoid the tropes you refer to, which this site is riddled with. I also try to avoid the same old phrasings and ideas.

English is not my first language. My brain works in Norwegian first. Maybe my translations turn out foreign to your eyes. I do not understand the rules of grammar, not in Norwegian, not in English. I am a "by ear" learner.

I cannot apologize for that.

At least Kat offered useful feedback to my inquiry.

I don’t think anyone accused you of AI. It was simply a reference to why the queue has gotten so large. I don’t think anyone on this website will ever think that your writing is artificial.

This is why I have refrained from publishing anything in a while. The mods have far more and better words to read here than my idle ramblings. Several have even acknowledged their relief in not seeing my name on the list, which just proves the wisdom of my action -- or inaction, if you will.
In all seriousness, they are the very soul and sensibility of this place, well deserving every writer's unbridled thanks and praise. If anything, they are the victims of their own success in making LUSH the best place on the web to be seen and published.

Perfectly said, and I 100% agree! I want to say it’s a thankless job but I make it a point of thanking them regularly. Not just directly when they publish for me but on my wall and post, etc..

Thank you for running this competition, Kimmi. 😊 I believe it is 74 words, all true, of course! 😜

Dry

“I’m not touching alcohol this January,” I confidently state.

“It’s my New Year’s resolution!”

My wife gives me a knowing smile.

At the pub, my wife, our friends, all drinking, having fun.

I sit there, watching, nursing my Yorkshire tea.  

Once home, my naked wife lies there, legs spread, inviting.

I climb between them, my ten-inch cock erect, primed.

She rolls to one side, legs closed, and giggles…

“I’m having a dry January too!”

Geeee nius

Quote by Piquet

Well done to everyone who entered this micro-competition, and well-deserved congratulations to the winners. Many thanks to the seven people who read my entry. btw, the original draft of the story still exists, locked away in a bank safety deposit box with strict instructions that it is not to be read by anyone until after the centenary of my death.... Happy Halloween!

With cryogenics I hope to be around

Quote by KimmiBeGood

My judge had a really hard time as he loved something about each entry!

Writing_Interest, expressomarkie, and Ellie73 are the judge’s picks in this challenge. :worship:

My son and I are both sure Jimbo in Writing_Interest’s story lives in the hills of Eastern Kentucky.

Thank you all for making this fun! You are all so talented!

Yay I found it!! (Forum novice)

Quote by expressomarkie

They are all on Page 2 of this thread - go to the bottom of this page and navigate to page 2

(There might be a better way, but that's how I found the others)

Thank you

Where have you posted the winners? I’m not sure how to navigate to that place on here.

Quote by expressomarkie

Wow, being one of the winners in this challenge came as a total surprise! I was just here trying to write something fun and spooky, and now I’m one of three winners? Honestly, I’m still blinking in disbelief, kind of like the reflection in my story!

Huge thanks to Kimmi for organising this wickedly fun challenge. You managed to bring out the eeriness and the eroticism in all of us, and that’s no small feat. This win feels like a treat I definitely didn’t expect... no tricks here!

To my fellow winners, you’ve set the bar so high I’m half convinced I’m still dreaming (or possibly haunted). Thanks again for letting me play in this delightfully naughty, creepy playground. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to nervously check my reflection one more time… just to be sure this really happened!

Cuntgratulations!

Quote by Meagananne1986

So many superb entries, Kimmi, and, still another 12 hours to go. Your judge is going have a tough time picking three to earn your generosity! I don't envy him.

I cannot agree more. Many of these are pretty fun!

Quote by Curiousbibliophilexo

Surrender to Shadows

Ancient whispers crawled across her skin, luring her toward the reflection’s gaze. She froze, transfixed by the wandering hand - hers, yet not hers. Shadows writhed beyond the glass, vast and hungry. A phantom claw traced her spine; breath stuttered, heart pounding, heat blooming low. Sinking to her knees, curled fingers found their mark. Eyes fluttered closed, a low moan; an offering of surrender. Talons pierced through the silver veil, eager to drag her into darkness.

Shadows always writhe behind the glass! Excellent work!

Quote by KimmiBeGood

Attention you bunch of scary, nasty, wicked, disturbed, talented fuckers: I love a great mutilation as much as the next gal, but I’ve been told it violates Lush content rules about sex and death. I’ll contact you if I’m told by mods yours is too graphic, and you can tone it down.

Thank you for your understanding. Let’s keep it fun and within site rules. :)

Got it - thanks

yeeeEEEOOOWWWWch! That was wicked, nasty and wonderful

Quote by JamesLlewellyn

So I lie a lot!

So Sue me.

Or Francesca me, I don't mind.

Or Kimmie you

Quote by KimmiBeGood

Need to add more adjectives… Y’all are a bunch of scary, nasty, wicked, disturbed fuckers! 😈

Can we add “talented”?

Quote by Meagananne1986

Perfectly in sync with the theme, my friend. Well done.

Much appreciated

Quote by KimmiBeGood

Y’all are a bunch of scary fuckers! 😈

More! More!

That is truth!

Quote by Shyexhibitionist

Oohhh!! Ouch ! Short but definitely not sweet!! Well done. It makes an impact, in more ways than one.

Thanks! This was way fun

Angelica’s sloppy blowjob was especially enjoyable as this was her flat; her sheets. At the pub, edgy piercings and tattoos seduced me easily. Sexy…dangerous.

Gagging was aggressive yet so were teeth. “FUCK! Sharp!”

“Delicious …!” she slurped, fangs dripping.

The wet not spittle but blood, my blood!

“YaaAHH!” I gasped out of a nightmare…my own sweaty bed.

Stumbling to the toilet I screamed again.

Fang holes seeped; two on each side of my hardness.

Quote by deviantsusie

Love these micro competitions.. here's mine.

************

She’d died in childbirth. Their daughter survived less than a day.

Barely six months later, he’s back up the aisle.

She stands now at the end of the bed, nursing her baby, appraising his arse as it rises and falls.

He thrusts with youthful vigour, eager for a son as he impregnates the new wife like a brood mare.

He rolls over, satisfied, only to stare into their eyes. His screams would waken the dead.

Dang girl! A May Zing

How great to have that kind of support! Thank you again, Kimmi

Fabulous twist! Wormy earth… delightful

Intense and enflaming

Excellent work, Rookie
