New York City.

What's your favorite city in the world?

13 years. We almost got married.

What is the most annoying thing about Christmas to you?

Morning all. Sorry you have to go to the dentist today Ape.

My knee is still messed up, so I didn't well. It's early as fuck, and I'm tired as fuck. Grrr. I launched my comp entry today, perhaps prematurely (heh), and I will pass the time reading the other entries.

EDIT: There's a LOT of entries! Better get crackin. This will need a lot of coffee.

Seize the carp!

I need nine. Under seven and I am useless.

I know. 😈 Notice how easy it is?

Good to see you Ensorceled; that description sounds like a great afternoon except for the knee part.

Nice to see you too. It really is kinda nice here, if you aren’t driving. There is a huge snowstorm dumping on us now, and I’m just editing and watching the snow pile up. I’m savoring my last gulps of cold coffee for the day.

i mean, you know me. when is reading ANY story of mine while really stoned NOT a good idea?

I'm a big proponent of the reading-Lush-while-stoned thing. Write sober, read stoned. It fills in the spaces :)

Wow. Excellent story. This is a great read! Fast and fun and hot, and really well-written.

Hey everyone. Haven't been around much, my apologies. But my knee is messed up, my wife is out of town, it's snowing hard outside, so I figure what better way to spend an afternoon than in a bar, writing.

A shot of bourbon and a beer back. A gummie if you've got 'em. I'll be in the corner booth.

I have just completed my first draft, and it came in at 937 words. 😊

However, after I edit it, I am sure it will be well north of 1,000 words! 🤣🤣

Ha! Yeah, I keep adding two words for every one I cut. Lyfbz said on another thread that you can get the count down by making your sentences more active. Neat trick. I'm using it.

1008.

First draft done at 1050 words. Those last 50 words to cut ain't gonna come easily.

Can we do audio for a comp entry?

My wife is out of town, and now my knee has given out, so I literally have nothing to do but try and think of an idea for this comp. Thus far: crickets.

Quote by Seeker4

Took a crack at something between shoveling snow and meetings today. Might work but needs a hot twist at the end. Fortunately, I have one in mind.

I'm the opposite. Strong set-up, but no twist, and nowhere to go.

That's excellent! A big fan of audio here.

Lighting the place on fire, the Lush you'll-regret-this log blazing.

Hey, the missus is out of town, I’ve got nothing else to do.

Like Godzilla on Tokyo

Deeply fond of this Screamer

Quote by sprite

you are such a slut.

It’s the Verbal in me. :)

We still go. Maybe once a month. Usually horror.

Do you still write anyone personally via snail mail?

Quote by kistinspencil

Back in Lush1, unaware of the prohibition, I submitted a play, which was returned. Though the Mod thought it worth reading, the explanation given was the difficulty of maintaining proper text formatting. Lush2 tools have advanced in that regard, but not by much. I ended up creating page images and posting them as an album in my media: An Incident In The Night

Gorgeously formatted, and the tone you set with the language matches the formatting. Interestingly, both Bast and I cry the same thing during orgasm!

Bourbon. I'll pour you a shot if you like, SQ. It's the good stuff.

So this was fun! Thank you Lefty, for facilitating things, and thanks Molly for being my partner in crime (my God I have known you forever).

So, my links. Here is the writer I was fangirling over. Her name is Evie, though at the time I think she was Ravenstar. Here's a perfect piece of erotica - hot and intense and surprising and literary. https://www.lushstories.com/stories/hardcore/second-saturday

Here's a series of hers, equally sexy and well-crafted. The Riley Boy. I could do without the last chapter, the husband's revenge, but the rest is perfect. https://www.lushstories.com/stories/cheating/the-riley-boy

The crazy intense 10k word BDSM cat fetish I wrote with Sprite is here: Purr. https://www.lushstories.com/stories/fetish/purr I mentioned this as an example of something that was probably too long, but we were so close to it we couldn't find a word to cut.

A fave story of mine by Molly: https://www.lushstories.com/stories/bdsm/wish-you-were-here

Finally, my favorite thing I wrote here was a horror/erotica hybrid called Beneath. https://www.lushstories.com/stories/monster-sex/beneath

A last note I wanted to say during the thing - regardless of your actual kinks, writing BDSM gives you some tools for creating suspense and tension and big drama: all that give and take and the constantly shifting power dynamics (see Molly's story above). I'd recommend writing in that category just because it kind of creates its own structure.

Thanks for attending, everyone who did so. For those of you who missed it, you can keep asking questions here!

Love that. And miss you desperately! Is it time for...horror movie night?

Quote by sprite

How did it go. Btw? Too busy battering down the hatches to take a peek in the room.

It went fine. The question shoot by so fast! I plugged Evie's Second Saturday and The Reilly Boy. And Purr. I was gonna try to slip in the very first Do You Want Ketchup With That, but I ran out of time.

Sorry they keep giving you unrealistic deadlines, Kimmy.

Kat, i want an e-bike, but my daughter keeps telling me, and I quote, "You'll break a hip!"

LYF, Canada looks pretty tempting to some of us these days.

Someone tell Fuzzy I said hi.

A shot of Jameson's and a beer back please. It's bourbon o'clock.

Quote by sprite

Please send clean underwear. That is all.

Writing again?

I let slip yesterday you are the ONLY person here I have ever collaborated with.

Around 24 hours. I'm prepped for longer periods.

What's your favorite kind of toast?

It's a gerbil How can you say it's disturbing? It's super cute.

Quote by LYFBUZ

Rumoured that Hannibal Lecter in the running for FBI Director...

Sadly, the Ethics Committee won't release the report describing his "improper relationships with women." The Ethic Committee chair was quoted as saying he's being demonized for being an "effective therapist with innovative techniques."

About 90 miles.

What's the weirdest thing you've done to get laid?
