yes, it has been discussed a million times before, and no, we have no interest in putting in the time or effort simply to make sure that people who put up a picture of a porn star instead of their own is 'outed'.
q: how come it took 3 months for my story to be published?
a: we were too busy making sure that no one posted porn stars in their photo gallery to verify it.
this it the internet. everyone here is an adult and can usually figure things out for themselves. it's also an erotica fantasy site - if someone wants to be a porn star let them - i find that the best way to figure out who is real and who is not is getting to know them - if you're just looking for a quick wank, what does it matter in the first place? as you said, it's usually fairly obvious.
btw, i'm not really an animated cartoon character, in case you were wondering.
WHAT!?

From time to time, it seems some of us can get so caught up in the daily grind that we can find ourselves complaining more than being thankful for what we already have.
In reality, we all have plenty to be thankful for, and we should celebrate our blessings every day.
Certain times of the year remind us how lucky we are, such as Christmas. Being surrounded by friends, family and loved ones gives us pause to reflect on what really matters in life.
Whether it’s your job, your family, your health, or even your new kitten, it’s important to give thanks for what really matters most.
My question to you, members of Lush, is: What are you thankful for?
As I've asked the question, it's only fair I should start.
I am thankful for friendship.
Friends are one of the most important things in my life. They are there when you need them most and can be your support when you need someone to lean on.
Whether it's just some friendly advice on what pair of shoes to wear with what dress, or the sharing of a worry, it is never more evident than after a heart to heart that a trouble shared really is a trouble halved.
Friends are awesome.

Fixed that for you, silly Sprite.
I should totally write a mathematics-themed story. Or maybe ALL my stories should be mathematics-themed. I think I had an idea for one once, actually...
It's an up-and-coming genre, I tells ye!
Clarissa snatched the calculator from his hand and threw it across the room. As the shattered pieces of the Sharp EL531WB-WH bounced and skidded across the polished floor, she hitched up her short skirt and slowly straddled his lap.
Michael managed to prevent his hand shaking long enough to reach into his trouser pocket and take a much needed puff on his asthma inhaler. Through steamed up glasses he watched as she leaned forward, pressing her ample bossom against his chest and whispered softly in his ear, "Mathematicians are so fucking sexy."

I didn't watch much of the Eurovision Song contest this year but I caught all the entries on YouTube. I thought the Russian entry was quite good but agree that Denmark's entry by Emmelie De Forest was probably the best - a worthy winner.
I have more chance of winning the National Lottery than the UK does of winning this!
First Engelbert Humperdinck, then Bonnie Tyler!?
Give me a break.

Everyone needs to calm down a little.
1) Podcast directories, like podcasts.com, are great places to get free links back to lushstories.com. We submitted our podcast RSS feed to a number of such directories, about 5 years ago. It's a good way to get free traffic.
Those directories, are meant to give full credit to the narrator, ie, a full link back to the page, from which the audio was taken.
It seems our "friends" at podcasts.com, no longer do that.
They mention us, but at the same time, there's no link. I don't like their tagging either, it has our main competitor's site in there.
I will write to them today, saying that unless they give us a link back from each page which has our audio on it, they should remove all our stories.
Before "going off" in the forums about these kind of matters, it's always best to check with either myself or Gav first. The same goes for blogs and other sites that might be using our story RSS feeds to add story snippets to their sites, invariably they are using them in the correct way, and we get a link back.
2) I am aware of the google play thief, and we are working on it. I don't expect we or anyone else will get any joy from them. They knocked back our APP 3 times, which was set up to help protect authors from these kind of story thieves. Our app was rejected, yet the others remain. Make of that what you will. I argued with them until I was blue in the face about it, they simply ignore you after a while. Such a wonderful business practice...
My bad.
*holds hands up*
I probably should have made this clearer to everyone - please take note of Nicola's comments.
Not all websites are out and out thieving content.
Any questions or concerns should be raised with either Nicola or Gav first.

Not sure you're going to have much luck with this one friend.
Unless it immediately springs to mind for anyone?
Best bet would be to use the 'Story Search' feature on the following link:
http://www.lushstories.com/search-results.aspx
Try searching for an appropriate story tag e.g. spying, neighbour, dom, sub
Best of luck!

Thanks Liz and Coco, that's great advice and for the record, I've updated my copyright info and it doesn't need to be re-submitted to be added to the story!!
You just check the copyright box and it doesn't need to be verified at all!!
(collective sigh of relief from the story mods!)
Excellent!
Thank you for letting us know, Maz
Sound advice folks - fill out the copyright info in your account settings and tick the box on your stories as well.

So, I can say "These are written by Poppet for LushStories.com only, don't steal them asshole, or you won't like me." and that is legal? lol Not that I'd say that but simply making a copyright as simple as that, IS legal?
Yep

Quote by Poppet
I have a copyrights thing, but it's nothing "legal" I just put something up there. I'm not even sure how effective that even is. I have it because it's my work, but it's not legal. Not in the law sense, at least I don't think? I don't even know how that works.
Hi Poppet,
Copyright is real and it is legal.
All an author has to do is claim his or her work, and it is therefore copyright. He or she has 5 years since unauthorized publication to say, "I made that" just about anywhere to anyone, and it is copyright as long as he or she really created it, regardless if there is a copyright notice or not.
By stating on your stories that they are 'yours', you have enforced this copyright and are therefore legally protected.
Not that those websites care.
ADDITIONAL: Decided to post a link to the website that Copyright info came from, it's interesting reading!

Thanks Liz and Coco!!
I know that Lush work very hard on this and that the problem is endemic - We've seen so many sites pinching our hard work!
Again though, how important is our copyright info? I know that some of the stolen authors DO have that info - does it help when it comes to asking for its removal?
In a nutshell? No.
These sites are operating illegally.
They copy and paste our stories to bolster their own site content. This in turn boosts their SEO, which in turn improves their visibility on search engines which then results in increased web traffic.
Once they hit a certain number of visitors per month, they then place adverts on their site and earn ad revenue 'per click'.
The real pain in the ass?
Most of these sites pay a premium to their hosting company for a service called 'Whois Privacy Protection' effectively removing any usable contact information from the general public.

Unfortunately, despite everyones best efforts, staying on top of these story thefts is like trying to hold back the tide.
Lush contact these sites with takedown requests and notifications of copyright infringement on a regular basis but some are harder to contact that others.
For sites without direct contact details, your only option is to contact their hosting company and report them.
This can usually be done with a WHOIS search (You can Google this for more information but basically it is just a search which will give you some additional details about a domain. Things like nameserver details from which you can work out who the hosting company is).
You can get irate and spend hours chasing these bastards down if you wish but believe me, it takes a lot of time and effort.
New ones spring up all the time.
As angry as it makes me personally to see writers work stolen, (and in this case their voice recordings too!) there is nothing you can do except to continue to write to them.
*heads over to the rage cage...*

So, in the interest of sharing one of the more unusual martial arts movies I've seen this year, take a look at this trailer:
I don't mind admitting that the idea of seeing an A-List celeb like Russell Crowe removing a string of antique anal beads from a young woman and inserting them into another girl was my primary attraction to this film.
He seems to be well into the swing of things by the way. In another scene he produces some kind of shiny phallic device and proclaims to the ladies of the local brothel, “We’re going to play a game called ‘Let’s pretend we’re Catholic.’”
Not his usual kind of film I'll grant you
This is an all out, non-stop, blood and gore fest with a sketchy story line and average fight choreography.
It was co-written by Hostel and Inglourious Basterds actor Eli Roth and “presented by” Quentin Tarantino. It is plugged as a zany, multicolored fight fest, pitting squadrons of lethal killers against each other, all in pursuit of a weighty chest of imperial gold.
It's ok.
If you like over-the-top martial arts, a little mythology & magic and a whole lot of kink - this is the film for you!
