I've been super busy at work recently and writing has had to take a backseat. But I see a new competition has been announced, so I'm going to mull over some potential ideas for an entry (when I think of some!).

As well as working on my next One Euro Coin story, I'm sort of playing with a few ideas from stories I saw in the news. A woman pregnant with twins by two different men is one of them. Also, for my sexual autobiography, which I take from Lush forum questions, "What is the wrongest thing you've done?" has potential!

I've been reading some entries this afternoon and, for me, the standard is as high as I've ever seen in a Lush contest. There are some excellent stories in this competition!

Not yet, but if Spain win the World Cup, I think there's a good chance later on!

While we wait for Spain's victory....oh, sorry, I meant, While we wait for the final, you may enjoy perusing my international orgy story from Qatar 2023!

I want to clarify that I am in no way implying that the volunteer mods are slacking. ❤️

The honest truth is, when the weather is glorious and the world cup is on (and Spain are in the final!) I'm less likely to Lush as much as on cold, rainy winter nights. I would suspect that will be true for most moderators!

I believe the Bible absolutely should be taught in schools, it is the foundational text of our literature. The question is about how it is taught. It could be taught as a collection of deep myths, for it's moral code, or as literal factual history. Theres a big difference!

I couldnt tell you a specific video, but the pornography I've enjoyed featured normal people who are obviously happy together...its hard to put into words, but you can tell by watching them!

So my competition entry is live...my second foray into Ancient Egypt! https://www.lushstories.com/stories/first-time/princess-rainat-and-the-lush-papyri-3

It's a mixture of sex and silliness at the pharaohs court!

And now, looking at the next chapter of my 'Memoirs of a coin" series, next chapter in my sexual autobiography and an idea for a world cup story but I'd better get a move on with that one!

Working on my comp entry. I've resurrected an idea which I had when writing my entry for the 'Whodunnit?' Competition, but never finished. You'll be glad to hear that everyone survives...but someone's cherry does not!

I've had a bit of a Lusholiday recently, not really reading or writing much on the site. But I do have a long neglected story in my draft files that fits the new competition like a glove! So, I will get to work polishing it and enter early this time!

Waterfall

A waterfall! ‘Wow,’ thought Ines, ‘this place has everything!’ 

She could hardly believe her luck. The country estate she had inherited had a vast house, thousands of acres, and a staff. 

She’d met almost everyone, except the mysterious gardener, Pedro. 

As she admired the cascade, he appeared, shirtless, sunburned and toned by work. The waterfall practically evaporated around him.

“Mistress,” he said, nodding.

The gardener’s tool made short work of the mistress’s bush that day.

I'm working on new episodes of both my two "Memoir" series;

First, "The Memoirs of a One Euro Coin", about a naughty coin passed from hand to hand and witnessing sexy scenes across Europe ; He's off to the Vatican City next!

And there's a new chapter in my "Sexual autobiography" series coming soon.

The Omnium badge era is over. The Millionaires Club era has begun...

So, just my two cents on categories, having recently completed the omnium challenge!

I'd argue that they could definitely be slimmed down, but then we could think of some more! Wife-lovers, cheating and cuckold could all be united under 'Infidelity'. They are all, basically, the same idea, surely? Same with Novels and Series. Watersports, Uniform & Medical could all be ditched and directed to 'Fetish'. I agree with a previous post that strap-on counts as "Toys". And, Monster sex, horror and supernatural could be one single category too.

Is "Straight sex" really a useful category, when all heterosexual encounters that are not "Gay male", "Lesbian", "Bisexual" or "Trans" count as "Straight sex"?

(Personally, I'd ditch interracial, but that's a personal view; I don't find interracial sex distasteful, but I do find stories that reduce Black men to objects that service white women as bulls icky, and they seem to be the vast majority of stories in that category!)

And after the cull, there would be room for new categories! We could start a forum thread for suggestions, then site admin could take a view.

My suggestion would be "One Night Stand" - "One single night of passion. Meeting sexy strangers on work trips. Friends giving in to long repressed urges. Nights out ending with unexpected consequences. This category features one off, one and done encounters that are never repeated!"

Fireworks

“Never play with fireworks,” I recalled my teacher telling me as I slipped the head of the rocket into my pussy. If the house caught fire right now and this thing lit, that’d be a hell of a way to go!

The firework was huge, bigger than any penis I’d ever seen. It was covered in lube, of course, and I got most of it in. Through experimenting, I found the right angles and rhythm…Boom!

Congratulations! Being about to cross the Prolific threshold, I am starting to glimpse Omnium in the distance. But I suspect that like the Rockies seen from across the Great Plains, the destination is further than it appears, as we have to get through those last few categories we have been avoiding. And you made it! Great work.

It was definitely harder than I'd expected. I had to read and learn the conventions of genres I'd never read, or been interested in (wife-lovers! Steampunk!). My advice would be to use series to clear out genres that are out of your comfort zone. I did a series that ticked off fantasy, monster sex, mind control and horror! https://www.lushstories.com/profile/MC1982/stories/series/the-incredible-sexual-summer-of-the-lopez-family

Mermaid

“Surface…breathe…sink…Cut! Great work, everybody. That’s enough today,” said the director. Relieved, the actresses took off the mermaid tails.

By night, the director sneaked into the props room. She stuffed the green, scaly tail into her bag and hurried to the beach.

Bathed in moonlight, topless and tailed, she plunged through the sea.

He, muscular, naked, found her. Taking deep breaths, they sank beneath the surface, clinging together. Breathless, he ravished her underwater.

Surface. Breathe. Sink.

No. It would only bother me if I sensed an emotional connection, but it's been nearly eleven years so I think we're good.

Quote by techgoddess

Gracias! I'd be the first to admit the quality is uneven, but it's been a fun, four year long journey!

Bonfire

In Placa de la Font, Pol wrapped his arms around my belly as we watched the Carnival king and queen secured on the fire. As the mayor lit the pyre, we kissed.

“Take me home,” I whispered.

The smoke from the bonfire outside drifted through Pol’s window. We kept the lights off.

Lit by the roaring flames, our bodies twisted and turned like shadowy djinns that were native to that element. Our passionate, carnal carnival.

I'm working on part three of my new series, The Memoirs of a One Euro Coin. He's off to Italy for some cuckold action in the next part!

Wow Thanks, Kimmi. I always enjoy your mini challenges! (And please dont count this as my entry!)😊

I've nearly finished the first part of my new series, and have a list of titles for it. Part one is "I watched a hot couple fucking in Portugal", coming soon. (My favourite idea for an instalment is "I oversaw an unholy fuck in Vatican City"!)

And I'm going to do a new chapter of my 'True' sexual autobiography series soon, which has been dormant for nearly a year!

Someone has already posted my answer...I'll just like the post😉

Introduce the title of your story: A Voyage to LushLand
Genre/Category: Sci-fi/Supernatural
Provide the link: https://www.lushstories.com/stories/fantasy-sci-fi/a-voyage-to-lushland

1. What first inspired you to write this particular story?
The sheer silliness of some of the stories and tropes I read as a Lush moderator, plus I love the story 'Gulliver's Travels'.

So I got the idea of writing a story about an island where life really was like Lush Stories.

2. How did you come up with these characters?

They are based on stock characters people send in to Lush...people with outsized genitals and breasts, step-siblings, and a barmaid (who was inspired by/represents the forums) asking outrageously personal questions to a total stranger. Even a tentacled sea-creature!

3. How does it differ from some of your other stories?

It's not intended to be taken remotely seriously as erotica. It's pure silliness. It's a send up of the site.

4. What was the most challenging thing about writing it?

Nothing, really, I just had fun with the idea. If anything, trying to decide what aspects of Lush to include.

5. Anything else you want to tell us about it?

It won a recommended read from the moderators.

A friend and my husband. But my last story imagines a whole family of secret, closeted Lush writers!

https://www.lushstories.com/stories/incest-fantasy/all-in-the-family-4

I have a whole series of true stories! They're based on questions and chats on the forums.

No.1 in series, and popularity, is https://www.lushstories.com/stories/true/the-sluttiest-thing-ive-done!

Wannabe Wordsmith has some great titles; https://www.lushstories.com/stories/lesbian/choices-between-a-cock-and-a-hard-place

And, of mine, the Three Wise Men star in https://www.lushstories.com/stories/gay-male/oh-come-let-us-adore-him

So now my new one is up. It's pretty silly, hopefully fun and if you are put off by IF, all I'll say is they are just writing about it, not doing it, for what it's worth!

https://www.lushstories.com/stories/incest-fantasy/all-in-the-family-4

So I need a new project, I haven't done a series for a long time and I think I'm going to try my idea about a euro coin that gets passed from person to person and sees sexual scenes across the continent!

I sent my new story to the mods!

I don't know if it's the best, but it is definitelly the most outrageous story I've written on Lush!😅
