I dated two. I don't see the appeal, or like the work. Having a virgin or taking virginity sounded fun in my teens and early twenties, but I wouldn't go looking for one. Now if they just wanted me to be the cure, and there wasn't some ordeal about it, then I don't mind. It's just not a conquest or worth being a braggart for.

I don't have too much of a preference, but I do love a nice bush.

My highest rated story has 5155 views and 33 fires.

Still working on some story layouts, recently a trans story. A few days ago I wrote and finished a trans girl next door type story called Peeping Tom, that a I submitted a few days ago. My fiancee's stepdad went into the hospital before Labor Day, and they finally unplugged him Friday, so I'm not sure how long ago I submitted it it, it was dealt with on down time. i know it was in the past few days. Don't know if there's any wrestling fans here, but he had a short career in the 90's before a back injury.

According to some folks in another thread; if it's not 1500 words, and the sex starts later than the second paragragh—it's wrong.

It's your story, do what feels right, and makes sense.

That's not what ghost writers do, either.

Just a little note. All the stories here are moderated by a team of volunteers. That means we sometimes have to read things we don't like. There are certain subjects that some of the mods will excuse themself from, but there are some that ALL my mods don't want to read. So, really, even if those were sent in, they'd simply languish in limbo for eternity.

Also, certain subjects throw up certain flags in a search engine. I am ok with people doing a search for (for example) bdsm stories, and therefore we get a lot of people interested in bdsm here. certain crowds I would prefer not to attract. Simple as that.

Which goes in line with my first paragraph. The second is simply my opinion. It's a private site and it picks the rules. It's just like Lit's no under 18 rule, when people complain about it, I tell them to come here, since it's 16. I ain't calling the shots here, so my opinion doesn't carry weight as far as site ops go.

So this is going completely off topic for the thread, but censorship is extremely important on a site like this. And freedom of speech allows a personal business (Lush) to decide what kind of product and clientele it's catering to. There are websites that wlll specialize in all the things lush will not allow. Racism, ped0 stuff, it's all out there if that's what you're in to. Demanding a business cater to all interests is going against their freedom of expression.

And frankly, if this site freely hosted those sort of stories, I think it would lose tons of its user base. Would gain some new poeple too. But is that what the people running the site want? But honestly, I think if you want to delve into the issue further, take it to the political forums (the think tank). Start a topic there, it's not on topic for this thread.

That has little to do with freedom of speech. The first amendment mainly protects us from the government. Private spaces, which includes here, and our own homes, can set whatever rules they want, for what people can and can't discuss, or express. That's why places are able to have dresscodes.

That said; I don't believe in censorship. I'm what they call in fanfiction circles, a proshipper. Don't like, don't read. What one doesn't like should be their own personal problem, not everybody's problem.

The only turn-offs I can think of, are when the chick is tantamount to looking like Olive Oyl.

And I haven't ran across it here, yet, but I've ran across several on Lit where the guy is rather meek and is dominated by the more assertive, usually taller, possibly older transwoman, and sometimes her dick is bigger.

If something gets too far from plausable and reads like a adolescent fantasy, like; "he was plowing her doggystyle while they furiously made out," well that'd better be Elastigirl or Spinel he's fucking, or she's fucking Reid Richards, Luffy, or Plastic Man.

Write them all. The ones that wanna be, will keep going.

I've always had an active imagination. Other than that, reading and sometimes discussions, I guess.

I don't really care. I don't look at it much, and when I do, I just wanna see what I'm fixating on, in the moment. I'm more than likely looking for something to post on my porn twitter account, than to beat my meat to.

I was trying to think of a theme to go with my name. The best I could fathom was looking for a quill that looked like it would be used by a god or goddess to write with. It's a quill and a parchment journal. Maybe I'm going about it wrong, but it's good enough, for now.

Oh yes, especially if they still look good. There's a few.

To further hone my craft, and get my name out there.

I just finished a layout for a Danny Phantom fanfic. And I have another one. They won't be here, of course.

There's that trans/ story.

A satirical story about a generic nerd gets cheerleader, high school thing.

A sucubus story that ties into another story I've written.

An Ed, Edd, n Eddy lesbian fan fic.

A mom next door story.

A story where a mom contracts her son to be her two friends sex slave, in return for their help with her divorce. And he gets back at her, for it.

An antebellum south story, where a slave owners daughter falls for a slave. Which probably also won't be here, because I'm not numbing it down.

Two or three appalachian horror stories, turned sexy.

I've been thinking about taking one or two of my Lit 750 word stories, and expanding them.

So, too much work.

Quote by RowanThorn

Try Archive of our Own for fanfiction works. I think the site deals exclusively in them. Been a while since I've been there but they used to have a pretty popular erotica section.

I have an account there.

It's just more human when folks ain't Gary Stu's and Mary Sue's.

Quote by RowanThorn

The fact that I haven’t seen any makes me pretty sure it was a no. I got permission for a series to reference characters from other works but it was because I had a cosplayer dressing as them.

I hadn't really explored the genres, so I wasn't sure.

Quote by Seeker4

Which is really one of the reasons I feel the Novel category can go. There's no way you can write a proper novel with sex in every chapter and have it be interesting. Plot and character development are what need to drive longform fiction, with sex as part of those. It should probably happen every few chapters, not every chapter. A bunch of sexual encounters strung together does not a novel make.

I've gave my opinions on the thread discussing that. Sites like this aren't always novel friendly in design. Examples of that would be Wattpad, AO3, or Quotev. Sites like Lush and Lit turn novels, or chaptered stories in general, into a series. I recall saying it could be done away with, on that site design reason alone. But I also don't wanna write novels for free... but I do write novelettes, or novellas. Generally no more than ten chapters.

Sex done right, can be plot or plot adjacent. I have a story where there's sex, or along the lines, in almost every chapter. That's actually one of the things that differentiates my erotic stories from my general stories, that have sex in them. I have a romance novel that's about 60k, or a bit more, it has... I think... six or seven sex scenes in it, and a LitRPG that's nearing 80k, and has like three. The one I'm alluding to, and explained in another quoted comment, here, is twelve chapters so far, or ten, and there's maybe two or three chapters that don't have sex in it.

Quote by GrushaVashnadze

Not necessarily. Plot and character development can happen through sex and in sex. See e.g. Alison Goes to London, which contains tons of sex, and of which mods (even!) have said: "The evolution was brilliant, the world-building intricate" ... "wonderfully constructed story ... managing to keep that wide a narrative arc up over 19 chapters ... Alison will stand the test of time."

I wouldn't say they were wrong about it either, but you're also right. I've got an story, that probably has the most sex out of anything I've written, most of it is plot, or plot adjacent.

In the beginning, the guy is looking for his birth mother in the town over, and a prostitute strikes up conversation with him, because he keeps returning to the same bar after his searches. They end up having sex, and more seems to start to come from it, when he takes her on a date. When he gets a good look around her apartment, the next morning, he finds out that she is his mother with help of his PI. He finds out not only his families history, but meets family he never knew he had, along with finding out that so many of them live in the city, and even went to high school with him. Not just that, but their incestious ways dates all the way back to their royal ancestors in europe to the point it's genetic. It was all kept from him by his now dead dad, and stepmom, who was best friends with his mom.

If there was a next level up beyond average erotica, stroke stories, and romance novels, true erotic literature on par with things like Harry Potter, Great Gatsby, etc, where there's significant depth, and not all sex needs to be purple prose, I think it could be a contender.

Quote by dronette56

Leave a friendly note to the mod and tell us where that line is. "Hey, Moddy, I know that what I did <here> and <here> is unconventional, but it's intentional. BTW, I love what you've done with your hair!"

We will happily back down unless it's unreadable, in which case we will push back. We can't tell whether an author doesn't understand typical grammar rules or is sidestepping them for style unless we are already familiar with the author's work.

I did. I try to explain things in a way that doesn't come off as angry or antagonizing, because I really have no issues with story requirements, as I feel they help make me a better writer.

Quote by Jen

Literally never heard of this.

I might be misremembering, but I went to check, and I couldn't find who said, or who I thought said it.

Quote by Seeker4

That's always a sticky one and part of why I would probably never do longform here. If I was doing a novelette or longer work, there would inevitably be chapters that were all plot and character with little or no sex. Unfortunately, you will likely find that those chapters get skipped by much of the Lush community. Some are just here for the sexy stuff.

That's about along the lines of what she said about it. If that's the case, I'll pay more attention to what I put here. I write on several sites and I don't mind catering to a sites need, because then, everything I write, isn't everywhere, which is fine, plus everything I write can't be everywhere because of site rules. And that is why I have a link tree, and a blog waiting for stories that are just too black sheep to have a home. I know on Lit, there are folks that like the plot, and other things around the sex, and I just don't write Skinemax sex scenes.

I'm waiting on the last chapter of Spare Parts to get released. After that, it's back to working on that high school story, and trans story. I'm not sure how well fanfics do here, or if they're even accepted, but I have two of those partially laid out, that I'll get to, once those are finished. I'm thinking about removing a story from my other pen name, and placing it under this one, due to being mostly sex.

The less people messing with that AI nonsense, the better.

I joined Inkitt in november, and they also have a group of mods to approve stories, they also prioritize works 10k+, and at least for me; it's even worse than here. I submitted five short stories, and only the third had been accepted.

As much as folks complain about here, and Lit, and it does seem on average this site is on par with Lit on submissions, regardless of membership, sure the mods do have a life, but it's still a group versus one person, and lit is strict in it's own right... that said; Lush is a better site than Inkitt, as far as my experience so far. So I'm not really complaining about here, because the less work needs to be done on a story, the faster it gets accepted, just like on Lit. No work needs to be done on those short stories, taking months is unacceptable, regardless of site preferences and processes. And one needs to dance between the site and the app to get shit done. I have novels I can put on there, but there's no incentive to do so, when what I already put there, is just sitting for who knows what.

Almost never.

I was told by a mod, that one main thing they and the site goes by, is Chicago writing style. Sometimes that can conflict with ones writing style, by pushing for something that reads more... clinical, for lack of a better term. There's a line between guidline adherence, and ones creativity. Recently, one proposed I completely rewrite the first chapter of my new novelette, because of the lack of sex. I seem to have gotten the same two mods with all submissions, and I think she's cool people. It's not really a grievance, and she's just trying to do her unpaid job.

I do still find it odd, that despite everything, submissions take as long as they do on Lit. Most of everything I have here, was there first, and I'm trying to release this new joint, here first.

I find that cover maker nie impossible to deal with, so I make my own elsewhere. Honestly, I don't like going through the effort for something free.
