I'm about halfway done with Nikki 3 and starting Call Me Three, but the meds are screwing with my creativity ( NO not recreational ones )

I almost always write in the third person, and if I go first person, It's a thought for POV; it depends. I often switch. In Take My Breath Away, the first part is all Emily, but when she gets to the hotel, it shifts to Elena's perspective. for me First person is a royal b*tch to write, unless it's based on a true event.

I understand that the purpose of submitting stories to Lush is to entertain but I find that perfect prose is demanded as a prerequisite. I am unable to provide this it seems and thought that if what is submitted is readily understood by the reader, perfect prose is a secondary consideration.

It seems however that I am wrong and after several attempts to satisfy the moderator it seems I must withdraw my story.

I use grammary and Word to catch all the commas and stuff. if you need help, ask. I'm usually available to give a story a once over

Hey, it's currently about 2-3 days for premium, and about 10-14 days for non premium.

They're not really delays at the moment, just turnaround times. The queue is mostly settled for now, although pretty constant.

This is the way. I was figuring a week, and I looked and dang it's live? but then again I stopped writing 7K chapters

if you don't have toys, first question is WHY? second, the produce section can be your friend.

only game i really play is Star Trek online

The thing is, it really depends on what you are doing. The basic rule of thumb is that the faster the CPU and GPU, and the more RAM, the better. For CPUs, the common consensus is that more cores are better, but there is a BUT. The cores are useless if the app doesn't use an 8-core CPU and a 16-core CPU. For example, if you have an 8 core CPU and a 16 core cpu, Lightroom could care less. Lightroom likes GPU and RAM. A CAD program wouldn't care as much about the GPU, but it would want CPU and RAM. you mentioned motherboard, and prices are all over.. That's because of the stuff ON the motherboard. The big things are wifi/bluetooth. What audio chips are there, how many RAM slots, and how many/what type of hard drive slots? And the chipset is what controls everything; it's the "brain." Some chipsets are idiot savants that do one thing well and are meh at the rest;8-core CPU and a 16-core CPU probably the most important is the Chipset. The chipset is what controls everything; it's the "brain." Some chipsets are idiot savants that do one thing well and are meh at the rest; on the other end are the Einsteins.

aww, shucks

I make sure the details are consistent across stories, such as the things different characters say when they orgasm. (X says "Oh fuck!", Y says "Daaamn!", etc.) Sometimes I put too much thought into my world but (as mentioned above by others) I stopped having my narrator provide infodumps after my first handful of stories. I know that Wanda's birthday needs to be in September because her car was at the mechanic for its annual inspection, and in New Hampshire your vehicle's registration needs to be renewed during your birth month, but I wisely avoided including that information in the story. (Now it's buried in a forum post instead. 😅) But my semi-fictional version of Ossipee, NH has internal consistency from 1968 to 1988 because that's how my mind works and it would drive me nuts if it was too vague.

I do that with mid 80's, LA in particular. i have a question I pick my dad's brain, since he was in Long Beach at the time

there are pros and cons to both. Younger/inexperienced guys can be trained if you are in it for the long haul. for flings, yeah the older guy probably wins out.

I quit Literotica in part because of the trolls in the comments; I prefer being quietly ignored on Lush. 😄

not ignored

Nautilus X-1 is under review. The hardest part was the characters: one Scottish, one Irish, and finding the Gaelic expressions to make them authentic

I will offer the other side of the coin. Worldbuilding matters a lot to me, and TBH, I'm writing for ME. Mira is up to seven parts now; if I got rid of the world, it would be 2 parts of disjointed sex.

I've actually been writing along and realized I was 2500 words in and not even a nipple... bottom line, write you YOU you will be happier

Quote by welshman

75 words?!

Right? 😕

Nautilus X-1 submitted

I took a break. paid more attention to the family and then a week ago or so the floodgate opened

thanks but there must be a broken script somewhere. they can't fix it if they don't know

I'm guessing that the paper icon should be the rest of the stories?

Everything i do runs into novella territory. Mira and Take My bReath away are both up to part 7. Routh 66 i just started and it's 4..

I think I need help.

I wrote an ending because I had the thought; now I'm writing backward. I like what I wrote, and I thought the Elena/Emily story was strong, but this one. I actually have to stop because I'm tearing up.

Congrats!

With Take My Breath Away 4 on cooldown, 3 pretty much ready to go and 2 under construction, I decided to let the readers decide:

1. Take My Breath Away 5

2. Mira 4

3. Nikki 3

4. Dante origin story

5, Nautilus X-1

South Carolina is not that far from me.. England, not so much

well it's done, I'm happy now just need to wait for a story to publish that's ahead of it.

that's gonna kill me. I did the final edit just now, and I cannot believe that it came together in literally 3 days. More's the pity if no one reads it

and will you be willing to take a look at a story I'm wrapping up? I'm worried it's not steam punky enough

it happens if you hit search apparently, at least that's how I can replicate it

Jus dropped the fourth Mandi story, kicking off a new trilogy, Take My Breath Away 4 in the wings.

Damn. i saw SC and got excited for a minute

A person who truly gives great support..

And for the person following. Yeah, I know. you got nothing
