Do you think you'll improve as a writer by asking people on here to edit your stories for you? The answer is NO.

You seriously need to spend at least a few months offline, learning the basics. Please do not submit any more stories here, until you have done so.

you suspended me from LUSH for a month just because I asked a simple question, and tried to look for someone who could help me edit my stories? I didn't ask any moderator to edit my stories, I just posted a forum topic to find someone who is willing to help me.
I never argued with any moderator about why they rejected my stories, I never even bothered any moderator asking them to help me edit my stories. I did what I could do all by myself and got my stories published after several rejection.
This time when a story got rejected seven times (even when it did got publish a few months ago) I just asked a simple question about LUSH standards. Anyone could have just told me, 'Yes, LUSH has raised its standard and we can't verify your story until you edit it properly,' but my bad luck that moderators took it very personally.
You said that it doesn't matter how many stories I have written; 6 or 600, but LUSH won't accept them until they are written properly. I didn't submit any of the stories I have written in past because I know they need a lot of editing before submitting on LUSH.

The reason some of your stories have been published on here, is that our moderating team, have kindly spent hours and hours going back and forth with you, on every single one of them.

that means they also have worked on my story which was published a couple of months ago, but now it got rejected seven times, and I asked 'WHY?'

As far as your previous stories go, in the past year we've been working very hard on improving the overall quality of the site. Many stories that would have been verified two years ago are now returned and asked for further edits. We feel that this will make not only our writers better, but also lift the site in general to a higher standard.



This sums it up.

That's what I wanted to know.

Instead of complaining about the moderators sending back your stories because they don't meet our site standards, ask yourself, "Why do they?"

Look at why they are returned. Spend some time trying to learn where you are going wrong with your grammar.

I highly recommend you do not resubmit any more of your stories, before taking at least a month out, trying to grasp the grammar elements you repeatedly get wrong.


I wouldn't have posted this forum if my story was a completely new and moderators have rejected it even ten times, but this story and a couple of others were already published on lush, now that LUSH has made some changes and my stories got removed I just edited their plot/characters a little. After getting published once, my story got rejected so many times in past weeks, and that made me post this forum and ask, WHY?
Now that I know that LUSH really had raised its standard, I will work harder on my stories.

I just asked a simple question but here I see I have started something worse. As I said in my post, earlier, I didn't mean to offend anyone or any particular moderator. Some people misunderstood me, or may be because of my bad English and lack of words, I couldn't explain myself clearly.

From a writer's perspective, I'll say that the less-than-a-week turnaround you mentioned for hearing back on your stories is actually quite fast. Most all of the sites out there (a fair number of which I've been a part of) have a return/publication time of anywhere between a week and a half to a couple of months. So, less than five days is pretty darn good, in my opinion. Before I became a moderator, I was thrilled when it took three days to post a story, versus the two months I dealt with on other sites.

As far as your previous stories go, in the past year we've been working very hard on improving the overall quality of the site. Many stories that would have been verified two years ago are now returned and asked for further edits. We feel that this will make not only our writers better, but also lift the site in general to a higher standard.


Thank you for telling me the answer I was looking for. I have never been a part of a website where they first verify a story before publishing it, and here I have always got my stories published in 3-4 days and sometimes just one day, so when I got only rejection I finally decided to post this forum. Now I know that LUSH has raised its bar and moderators are trying to make LUSH better, so I will work harder on my stories.
Hi, I have been writing from past five to six years and have written more than 600 stories. After having millions of reads ad thousands of comments on my stories which I have shared on different sites, I just realized what a terrible writer I'm. What I write is not good enough to get publish on LUSH (in terms of grammar), so I have decided to look for some help, as LUSH is a great site and I don't want to quit.

I joined Lush two years ago but didn't get my stories published on here. I left LUSH after that, but after a year I came back on LUSH. Last year in November, I again submitted a few stories and I got them published on here. After that I have shared more than fifty stories, earned a 'Millionaires Badge' and 'Author 50' badge. Lush made a few changes a month ago, and my stories got removed. Now I'm editing all those stories and writing new ones, too. But now LUSH has raised its standards and after trying many times I still couldn't get my stories published.

My readers ask me for my new stories and new chapters of 'Secret Affairs' but I just tell them that I'm working on it.

Now I need someone who can edit my stories. I write daily so there will be many stories and I can use more than one editor. Anyone who is willing to help me out and like to edit my stories can contact me. I will include your name in the story as an editor + put your name in my bio.

Don't expect me to share my pictures/contact info/ or any other personal info.

I will send you the story through LUSH (PM/email) and you can return it to me the same way after editing. You will just have to edit the grammatical errors, no editing in plot or flow of the story.

Let me know if you have time to help me out here.
I have written many novels but the longest one I have written has around 120K WORDS. I just finished writing it's 106th chapter, and I still have a lot to tell in this novel. It's a novel in which you will read about everything- love, crime, seduction, and lots of SEX - I would say it's my best work. I have written this one all by myself, and I feel proud to tell that it has just crossed 450K READS. If someday I get a chance I would like to make a movie on it because that's what my readers have suggested : )
It's not very good in terms of grammar and English, but my readers love it and I hope that someday I will find a right person to edit this whole novel for me.
I have written about almost everything - solo, masturbation, couples, affairs, teachers, office sex, prostitution, pornstars, camgirls, Lesbians, threesome, swingers, seductive, supernatural, reluctance, MILF and so many other categories and I'm willing to write in many more categories but I haven't written a word about GAY (men on men) sex. I don't have any problem about writing about two men getting closer to each other, but I never wrote a thing about it. May be in future I will write something.

I am the moderator that has been working with you on your story. As a moderator, I try to help people improve their writing when and where it is possible. That being said, I will be sending you a PM as I do not think this is a discussion to have in a public forum. I thank you in advance to corresponding with me further via private message.


It wasn't just about you. More than thirty of my stories got removed and now I'm trying to edit and get them published again, and I have faced the same problem a couple of times. So I decided to post this and ask if Lush has raised its bar? Moderators have become a little more strict? Or do Lush only wants the best writers now? I know I'm a terrible writer (when it comes to grammatical things).
LUSH has been very great and I'm thankful for all the moderators and readers. I'm just feeling very down now because of seeing rejection so many times. I have seen my stories getting much more reads than others, I have lost my 'Author 50' and 'Millionaires badge' but I compromised with that because nothing could have done about that. I have been writing from past five years and this week wasn't very good, so I might have overreacted.
It wasn't about one person. I'm only thankful to everyone here. I just.... I don't know what else to say. I hope you have got what I wanted to say and if you have felt bad about me posting this forum then I'm extremely sorry.
First of all my English is bad so I apologize if you don't get what I'm really trying to say/ask here. NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE.
LUSH is a great site, and I don't need to say a single word to explain that.
I had many stories on my page and because of some changed that LUSH made many of my stories got removed. Now I'm trying to change their contents and edit the plot a little to get them published under different categories.
A few days ago I edited the plot and characters of the story and submitted it. After 2-4 days the moderators returned it to me saying it needed some editing. I did the editing and submitted it again and moderators returned it, again.
I submitted the story around 5-6 times and it always got returned because of grammatical issues.
The story was already got published (before the LUSH made the changes in it's stories category) and got 30,000 reads and many scores. Now when I have only edited the characters and plot a little to get it published under a different category then how come it turned out so bad that moderators are returning it to me again, and again.
Do the moderators have raised the bar and now only want the best or did the moderator was lazy and didn't read my story before verifying it when it got published a couple of months ago? Is Lush now looking for only professional writers?

I joined LUSH more than 2 years ago and when I didn't get my stories published because of grammatical issues, I quit LUSH. I came back last year in November and tried again, this time again I got rejected but I was prepared for it and continued improving and got my stories published. I love lush and may be because my story which was already published got rejected 6-7 times I'm overreacting here, so please forgive me. I just wanted to let out my feelings.
You have a picture but you don't know who is that girl/guy or what porn movie it belongs to... ASK HERE and let's find out.
I don't think there is any category of porn left that I haven not watched.
From classic to modern, from MILF to teens, lesbians to gay and solo to orgy.... I have seen it all.
I love featured movies with a little plot and lots of pornstars in it, but I often watch one scene adult videos doesn't matter if it's featured or gonzo.
I don't think there is any big pornstar left that I don't know about.
I LOVE PORN.
Almost all of us have seen girl on girl porn but have you ever seen men on men porn? If you have, did you like it?
I have this story which got published and I just found out that it's not showing on my profile.

STORY NOT SHOWING ON PROFILE




STORY SHOWS ON MAIN PAGE



SHOWS IN NOTIFICATION BUT NOT IN PROFILE

After writing 500+ stories, this is what I think:

First person: If you are writing a short where there is not a very big plot with lots of character and you want to make your reader feel like they are reading someone's real experience then you would write in first person. I have found that stories written in first person's view are hotter. In these kinds of stories sometimes the reader can imagine himself as the main character, too.

Second person: These kinds of stories are less popular and doesn't have much. It is more like writing a letter to someone. I think these kinds of stories are good when you are writing for a few people on demands because there the reader is a character in the story. But these kinds of stories are not mostly liked by both genders. If you have written it as a woman then it's a treat for men or vice versa.

Third person : You have a big plot with many characters then you definitely should write in third person's view. You can write this as first person's view but they you won't be able to share as much as you can.

As a first person view you can only write the scenes where you are present, you can write the things which are happening with you only, but when you write as a third person you can tell about all the characters in your story. You can write what different characters are doing in different scene.

I have written a novel which just crossed 100 pages and I'm still writing it. I have written it as a first person's view because thats how I like to write most of the story. Sometimes I wish that I should have written as a third person's view but I continued it as a first person's view and got quite good response.

So at last few things matters in deciding how do you want to write it, but if you are good then you can write it in any way you want.
For me writing doesn't have a particular rule. I like to write the way I think I'm telling a story to my readers.

[Sorry about my bad English, I might have not conveyed my thoughts properly so no offence to any one]
I have this story which was published under a category which no longer exist on Lush, I edited it and changed it title and contents but forgot to edit the tags. I have submitted it and now I can't edit the tags. What should I do before moderators find my story violating some new terms and conditions?
Can I just go to 'My Stories' and delete it and then resubmit again?
