Yes I do silly

As to your other question, depends on what game you're talking about.

Halo for example, I'm, er... okay. Playing Halo 3 legendary co-op with three friends recently. But I can't hold my own in multiplayer sad

Pacman CE though I'm in like the top 2% of the leaderboard :P

Regarding the Xbox vs PS3 debate? I say screw it, have both. I do, but then I have 21 different games consoles, so I'm probably a bad example.

Kimasa, I think anyone who cheats does so because some need is not being fulfilled.

Of course the ironic thing with that pattern you've identified there is that it assumes the cheater has stayed in an unsatisfactory relationship. It suggests men will stay in a relationship with unsatisfactory sex for the sake of emotion, while women will stay in an emotionally unfulfilling relationship if the sex is good.

Just saying. :P

Very sensible.
-- I've discovered that as long as you draw a solid line between what's supposed to be pleasurable and what's Not, you can cross some erotic romance publishers' 'no-go' lines. SOME...


Indeed. My book Reconstructing Meredith goes into some detail about sexual abuse (more about the psychological effects than graphic descriptions of the abuse itself), and the character even has PTSD-related flashbacks during a sex scene, but it's kept VERY separate from what's supposed to be arousing. My editor is extremely "NO WAY" about as titillation, things like that, but she was all for this book because I stopped just short of writing in giant red letters THIS IS NOT AROUSING THIS IS BAD.


That was kind of my point about audience and the Lush zero tolerance policy. Even if you intend something to be viewed as horrific or painful, and use it as part of a story to add depth to a character, in an environment such as this you know there are people who will read it in an entirely different way.

So for example, if I wrote a story that started out with a woman being , but she was rescued by someone and went on to form a relationship with them. The would not be intended to be arousing, it would be intended to be scary and horrific, but it still wouldn't be accepted.

But it was necessary for the story. It's an erotic suspense, so there's plenty of sex in the book...just not THAT scene. lol


I was thinking the other day about how so much of what I write outside Lush would be rejected if I tried to submit it here :P

My novel has an attempted scene (the guy meets a very gruesome end)

Another thing I'm working on is a romance story where the guy has a history of child prostitution. His opening up to the girl is a major part of him coming to terms with it.

None of these scenes are designed to titillate though, they are designed to be emotional, scary, revolting etc, but not sexy. I understand why Lush has to have a zero tolerance policy though, it's all about the audience.

I actually have a scene of water-boarding in one of my upcoming books, but it is NOT part of a sex scene or anything of the sort. lol It's used as a method of serious torture. (And was rather skin-crawly to write, if I'm honest...)

Never done a water-boarding scene, but I have written a torture/interrogation scene, culminating in a lump hammer to the back of the hand (Little bit "Misery," maybe?). Reading it back makes my hand feel funny.

Without ever knowing why I was doing it or what it was called, but somehow instinctively knowing it needed to be there, I have a "habits" section in my character profile sheets. Now I'm going to be stuck thinking about this all day, trying to work it through in my head.

To me this is all a bunch of contrived B.S. all my writing comes from personal experience, straight from the heart driven by pure inspiration. But that's just me lol


You could also say that a recipe is contrived, why not just throw your ingredients in the pan and add what you like? If the result tastes good, that's what's important, right? Only you'll never make a soufflé that way.

If you cook for a hobby, by all means chuck those ingredients around to your hearts content. Cooks follow recipes. Eventually you get to be a chef, and you understand the food so well you can adapt the recipe with skill to produce something exquisite and unique.

Shorter sentences are easier to read. Proving you can do acrobatic things with punctuation to construct a sentence four lines long does not make you a better writer.

RUE - Resist the Urge to Explain.

Trust that your reader will get it, and trust yourself to get the point across without explaining it. This particularly applies to verbs and adverbs in dialogue mechanics. If well written your dialogue should be self explanatory.

"You're kidding me!" she exclaimed, excitedly.... (you don't say!)

It's the equivalent of saying, "did you get it?" after you tell a joke.


I have to admit, I didn't understand that one at all...are you suggesting someone would actually put "(you don't say!)" in a line of their story?

Hmmm...and btw, your one line writing tip was more than one line...

I have no writing tips myself, because frankly I have no idea what I'm doing...


Everyone's tips are more than one line!

But perhaps I was trying to be too clever there. Imagine you read that line in a story. You can infer from what she says and the exclamation point that she is exclaiming excitedly. Putting "she exclaimed excitedly" is unnecessary explanation.

"She exclaimed excitedly? You don't say," he remarked, sarcastically.

Last time I'll believe you...I have Google Chrome too...just tried it again, still no good...


Maybe the problem is somewhere between the keyboard and mouse?



I believe that is what they call a PICNIC error - Problem In Chair, Not in Computer.

Tried Chrome, no joy sad

Lush is a great place to explore who you are and you'd like to be. It's not decieving, it's like practicing in a flight simulator before you get your hands on a real plane - it doesn't matter if you crash so you can attempt that loop-de-loop with no fear.

Hi,

Now that I have over 10 stories submitted I'd really like to re-order them so the better ones are at the top. Only I can't seem to make a new order stick.

I go to the "my stories" page to change the order, but, when I navigate back to my profile the order hasn't changed.

I've tried both Firefox and IE in case it was browser related and no change.

Has anyone else had this problem or know how to fix it?

Mo

Okay, so I even shocked myself with that!
Sadly I'm open to so much more than I ever get the opportunity to experience :s

My personal preference is in my pussy, as deep as possible. But it turns me on more to be told than asked, so if he says he wants to cum in my mouth or on my tits or whatever, that's where I want it.
