Great. Now I'm distracted by the butt plug. 1495 words and I even put together an AI cover image. It still fucking sucks....but I realized this is my first completed story since Dec 2024 so I'm just gonna get it in.

Does this happen to you folks? I have over 100 stories almost done but I always start a new one instead of finishing the almost complete stories.

It happens all the time now. And then I finally do finish one and submit, then days later hate it, and delete it. I am gonna try to stop doing that as it’s disrespectful to the mod who spent time approving it.

I blame menopause! It’s a great thing to blame for everything now.

Enjoying the tunes today, Fuzzy!

I’m in final countdown to last day of work this year! :worship:

I made mistake of looking at my news feed. Ugh. Now I need a hot cocoa with mini marshmallows stacked like a naked man to cheer me up, Bear!

Come on, Lyf! You can do it! Just pull the (butt) plug, and submit! 🤣😎

Beam me up, Kimmi.

I think you, me, and shit ton of other Americans want to be beamed out right now!!!

Drinks are on me tonight!!

Had a fruitful visit to the home office. :)

I’ve done it within the same story a long time ago, so I think it’s okay. 😊 We’ll see what mod says.

I realized last night where you were going with that Bear….

In my case, paddling is not, um, a spanking thing. Not much a BDSM guy here. Light bondage, blindfolds, sure… But I digress. Paddling is a water sports thing - mind out of the gutter; eyes up here! - like kayaking, paddling boarding, and surfing.

Incognito… Well, there are some scary folks out there and I tend to be a private person.

Perhaps I should have considered the crowd here when I came up with a username on Lush. lol

Anyways, it’s good to be here! I am not a “tea in the morning” guy. I will take a cup of the President's Choice Maple Coffee, with a dash of cream, please!

Sorry about the comp rejection. Fortunately, you’ve got a week to make some changes. I am looking forward to reading your story!

Hey you, your screenname is kinda a mouthful… which can be good , but is there something shorter we can call you by in here?

Quote by snekcid

My submission is called Palm Leaf Madonna. It is probably the only story with a setting in India, in this competition. I hope you enjoy my story and as a relative newbie, I'd of course, love your feedback.

Ooo, I love stories that transport me to different places!

Quote by Piquet

Slightly off topic, but how many forum posts do we need to progress from 'active ink slinger' - a rather bland and generic label considering I've been here 16 years ?

Change it to whatever you want. It’s in forum settings.

Evening, Rumpies

Glad you’re back, Fuzzy Lion!

Hit Submit, Mr Ape! You got this!

I’m back from trip to office! And a happy lil computer geek! :)

I published a weird ass Christmas story on SS, if interested. An even weirder one is in my head. 😜

Quote by techgoddess

I’m bummed you deleted your comp story. I really enjoyed it.

I will have to get over to SS to read that story on our way to pick up my son and his family from the airport tomorrow morning. 😎

Thanks, Kat! ❤️ It’s not been published yet on SS. In queue. Enjoy your family! ❤️❤️❤️

Quote by sprite

having some rain up here. so far, we're not affected and i think the worst of it is over.

Wow! That’s some scary shit!!! You and yours stay safe!!! ❤️

Hi Rumpies

I’m with you, Annie. Such horrible events in the news lately. I have trouble handling such hate in the world. Big hugs to you!

I hope you get the urge to enter the comp, David. I always love your entries!

I’m outta town at my company office. Will return home tmrw evening. My performance review is tmrw afternoon. I’m going in yelling, “Show Kimmi the money!”

I submitted a weird Christmas story to SS. An even weirder creepy ass Christmas story is in my head and I may write it up, too. I deleted my comp entry here after publishing. Just not feeling like being in a comp right now. There are some super duper entries though!

Quote by JamesLlewellyn

I think all of you are beyond hope – and just about out of credit!

Year-end is coming up, and I need to make the books balance somehow.

When Santa brings you some cash for Christmas, throw a little of it this way. I'd hate to have to explain to Rumps why the till is harvesting moths!

Lucky for you, Bear, you have a numbers master in the bar. Gimme that ledger and I’ll make it balance. (Peeks inside)

Yikes! (Tosses book back to you)

Sorry! You’re on your own, Bear.

I’ll take a hot cocoa with minis stacked in the shape of an elf, please. Put it on Ping’s tab.

Morning, David!

Well, Chiefs are out. But my other favs—Bills, Chargers, Jags—lookin’ good.

And grandpa Rivers is lookin’ good for the Colts. Rams and Lions locked in a battle!

I think the high was 13 degrees today. Great day to couch potato with Butters!

Quote by Seeker4

Yorkshire and a strawberry tart. One of those dessert things would be nice, too.😁

Snowing again here. Don't have to go out today, so we will wait until it's over to shovel.

Do other male Lushies get profile likes from seemingly random women? I assume they are scammers or "pick me girls" of some kind so I usually just glance at their profile (which is usually minimal) and forget about them. But I see some other men do respond so I wonder what the game really is.

Oddly, I’ve probably gotten hit on more by women here than men.

Quote by fillelapine

Stops by and orders a hot chocolate and a nanaimo. Hope everyone is doing ok. Looks like we will be getting snow this week. Since we are talking sports...

Oooo, he’s kinda cute, Bunny. I might need to add him to my collection in Storeroom #4.

I’m happy to announce another Editor’s Pick award for our talented author WannabeWordsmith to add to his collection.

This story is him at his best, imo. Cinematic. Noir. Gritty. Hot. Flawed characters. Messy ending.

This is a masterclass in show-don’t-tell writing!

Congratulations, MasterWordsmith! :worship:

One Last Fuck to Give

Beeeeaaaaarrrkeep! Need hot cocoa asap, please. It’s six fucking degrees! And could you pile the mini marshmallows in the shape of a Christmas tree on top.

Quote by paddlingincognito

Good morning, everyone! New here. Thought I’d share what I am drinking right now, as I try to warm-up. It was a brisk -6 (felt like -23) this morning when I woke up a few hours ago. I have a feeling I’ll be drinking hot coffee all day!

Also. here is a little Saturday themed honkey-tonk music for your listening pleasure.

Hi there! Welcome!

I get it, David! You’re in the boonies, unplug and ignore the whole damn holiday thing if you need to this year. You can kindly tell family you are unplugging for a bit, too. We’re all here if you need anything!

A bright new year will await you! ❤️

Quote by Seeker4

That's kind of what I was getting at with my comment on AI prompting being as much work as searching for stock art. AI is fickle servant at best and needs a lot of handholding to really get what you want, in my experience. If I was actually hiring it, it would probably be dusting off its resume before its probation was up.

My sis just got certified in some sort of AI prompting. Her company wants them all to integrate it into their projects, debugging, coding, etc.

I am obsessed with creating cover art and also story titles. I have google docs full of cover art for stories I’ve yet to write.

And people don’t think it takes any talent to ask AI for art, but prompting AI to produce quality work that fits your needs takes thinking and a writing skill in itself. I’ve sometimes written a story in my prompt to get the picture I want. This is one that I could only create once, then it caught on that I’d sneakily worded my prompt to get it to create a nude and it wouldn’t do any alterations. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Good to see you Lyfbuz and Annie! And hope both your talented selves join the competition!

Still under a winter storm warning here.

Baby, it’s cold outside, so some hot cocoa, please! 😊

Quote by RowanThorn

Struggling through my comp edit. Can we change it to 2,000 words?

Recently got my scout story up, and I am already excited for the sequel. But I’m excited for a lot of sequels… I need more time to write.

Nope! Get to chopping, Rowan!

Quote by Seeker4

Sheep, I now have a couple stories with comp potential going. One is probably more straightforward porn, one has some story to it. SO now I might have to choose one for the comp and hold the other for later. Yeesh. Brain, what are you doing to me? It's deluge or drought

Story of my life…

Write both. Go with your gut on which for comp. I like more story, but masses will like more sex probably.

Thank you for showing up today, Bear! I had to go into a busy day at work starving yesterday.

You weren’t the Bear that crashed the Gatlinburg Christmas parade, were you?
