Rainbow in the Dark
Have you ever wondered what sixteen-year-old boys think about? Probably not, because it's pretty obvious, but if for some reason you [I]have[/I], then luckily for you I wrote some sex stories when I was sixteen, now compiled into a series.
They've been here in their virgin state, as it were, since I joined over ten years ago, just minor changes to characters' ages to conform to another site's rules. However, since deciding to be more active on here a few months ago, I saw they are still getting read and receiving the odd favourable comment, so I gave them another look.
The dialogue was hilariously cringeworthy, but I still thought the ideas were hot, so I've been tidying them up, changed most of the ages back to what they were originally, filled in some plot holes, and gave them pretty cover pics (using the appropriately named GIMP). I tried to find a balance between keeping the feel of having been written by a teenager, and not making you snort whatever you're drinking out your nose.
I finally came up with a name for the series, and I thought I would promote them here.
So, the first story I ever wrote:
Teen lovers go off together in the woods of South West England to consummate their relationship.
Feel free to rate and comment mercilessly.

Snowpiercer directed by Bong Joon-ho was quite enjoyable. It explores themes with classism just like his most recent release Parasite.
Yes, I thought that movie was great! I saw it as a double bill with the Terry Gillian movie Zero Theorem, which I thought was also very underrated.
Korean cinema in general seems to be very underrated, I guess the awesomeness that comes out of Japan overshadows it a bit. For a while I was pen-pals with a Korean girl who was a movie buff, and she recommended a bunch, I'll have to see if I can remember some. I remember one had a mute homeless guy who broke into people's houses when they were away to have somewhere to sleep and fixed stuff for them as anonymous payment.
Even before I started corresponding with her though, I saw a Korean movie that I think is definitely underrated: Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance. It's the first in Park Chan-wook's "Vengeance" trilogy, which also include Oldboy and Lady Vengeance. They're both awesome too, but seem to be more well-known and received. The first has a completely different feel, much less glossy and slick, more slow paced, menacing, tragic realism.

If I start thinking about important stuff I get too angry to type, so: fucking skimmed milk in the work fridge - why? Stock more of the full cream milk, clearly no one uses the skinny milk as there are 8 litres of the stuff in the fridge and no full cream. If full cream is too milky, put less milk in your tea, those of us that like the real stuff can't just put more skinny milk instead, because that shit tastes of water.

Not as many guitar lovers on Lush as I thought, lol.
Sorry, I took a 10 year break from Lush to obsess over guitar gear, I didn't realise I could combine the two!
When I joined, I had a Squier Strat that I got for my 14th birthday (apparently the first year they stopped making them out of plywood...), a shitty solid state amp, two multi-effects pedals, a Crybaby and a Marshall Guv'nor 2, all on a different continent. I have since changed the pickups in the Squier, acquired a Gibson LPJ (essentially a Les Paul Junior), an Epiphone Thunderbird, a BlackStar valve amp, a small Vox valve amp, a small Hartke bass amp, a Fryette Power Station attenuator, and about 30 pedals. My playing, on the other hand, is still shit. Ask the gear acquisition is a bit ironic, given the music I want to play requires only a guitar, amp going to 11, then maybe some skulls, decomposing animal carcasses and a burning church for atmosphere, but there, you go, I like making noise. My 2 year old also likes to twiddle the knobs, so that's a bonus.
Like children, my favourite pedal is whichever one asked me, er, I mean, I can't pick one, they are all essential. But I do have a sentimental attachment to the Crybaby, because it was my first pedal, and also the first one I ever modded. It now has true bypass, the buffer removed, knobs for gain (so it can drive the amp a little just on its own, or alternatively, stay ultra clean, bass boost, and Q (fairly subtle difference to the shape of the Way curve), plus a rotary switch to change the main capicitor, which shifts the whole frequency range of the sweep. I think I gave myself 5 options - original, same as the Jimi Hendrix version, same as the Jerry Cantrell version, same as the bass version and one between the bass and JC one on the off chance I ever get a baritone guitar. I don't need must of that, but it was fun.
It's about 9 months since my last guitar related purchase, which was a Lastgasp Art Laboratories Transroom analog reverb. I still haven't tried it because we moved house and all guitars and amps are still in boxes, unfortunately. No doubt that will be my favourite for a while once I get a chance to play it.

The story-linking system isn't designed for what you describe. It's really only supposed to be for multi-part stories or series. I understand why authors do that, and I would never stop them, but it's also quite easy to get to a list of their other stories and find another one to read (much easier than the work it would take to implement a different system, which would likely have kinks to be worked out and confuse some authors initially).
Fair enough. I've just noticed a few stories with the links between chapters 1 and 2 broken, so wanted to check that was how the system worked. If linking changes don't require approval then it seems reasonable to leave it to the author to fix - maybe a little text next to the linking option warning them it affects links on both stories would help.

Sorry to bump this slightly old thread, but it seemed excessive to start a new one when this issue is related: I've noticed some odd behaviour with this feature in some series I've been reading, and I think I've worked out why. I don't think this is quite a bug, more a limitation of the application that runs the site, so not sure if anything can be done about it, and even if it can, whether it would be worth the effort if no one else has noticed it, but worth being aware of if you do a lot of story linking.
(This ended up a bit wordy, I've italicised and underlined to make things clearer, hopefully)
Anyway, here's what I think happens, tell me if I'm wrong: when you use the Link This Story feature when posting a story, it updates the database entry of the new story with the current URL of the story you are linking to for the Read again link, and the entry for that other story's Continue reading link with the current URL of the story being edited.
All well and good, except if after posting a multipart series and linking the stories together, you post another story, not in the series. You want to link it to the previous series because some readers (like me) use those continue reading/read again links to keep reading an author we like, even if the stories aren't connected. However, you don't want to link to the last chapter, because starting with the last chapter of a series rarely makes sense, so you link to the first chapter. Result: the Continue reading link in chapter 1 now goes to the new story, not chapter 2; and the last chapter doesn't have a continue reading link.
A work around I can see would be:
1. Link the new story to the final chapter, wait for it to be approved, so the Continue reading link on the last chapter is as desired
2. Edit the new story, this time linking to chapter 1, wait for edit to be approved, so the Read again link on the new story is as desired, but the Continue reading link on chapter 1 will no longer be to chapter 2
3. Edit chapter 2, not actually making any changes but keeping the existing link to chapter 1, thereby hopefully resetting the Continue reading link on chapter 1 to chapter 2.
Obviously, that's not ideal for the author or the mods. Presumably an author could ask mods to make those changes in the notes so they all happen at once rather than flooding the mod queue?
The only other solution I can think of would be to have separate link options with each story, one for the Read again and one for the Continue reading, with a checkbox for whether to make the links reciprocal. In that case you would leave the boxes checked for all the series stories, then uncheck it when posting the new story, and only have to edit the final chapter to change the Continue reading link (also unchecking reciprocate). I don't know if that is possible, desirable or worth the time to do for how many authors it affects.

The French movie Irreversible was pretty disturbing - I though the guy getting his face caved in with a fire extinguisher was bad enough, and then it got to a twenty minute scene... The cinematography was great, but didn't make up for that. Horrible.

This is my first time entering a competition.
The contest rules tickled my fancy: (paraphrasing here) incorporate theme(s) and color(s) into a story.
“Great!” I thought and starting typing up a frenzy.
As I wrote in MS Word, I had these other characters I totally thought I could add and explain. Then I remembered the last contest rule.
!&*#+!$^-?
* Uh-oh *
The word count increased , I got increasingly nervous, and then I conceeded that I had to ditch the other characters since they weren’t central to the story.
Oddly enough, that actually helped me focus on what was essential and what wasn't.
Completely unintentionally, I guess I have to thank the “Rainbows” Story Competition creators for being secondary editors.
I’m somewhat unreasonably proud of this story, even if it doesn’t win any awards. I hope others like it, but I’m going to like it regardless.
I want to encourage anyone who’s never entered a competition here or anywhere else to give it a shot.
You might surprise yourself.
I'll second that - this is only the second competition I've entered and if nothing else it works really well as an exercise to improve your writing. My first draft was over 5000 words... Just don't read the other entries until you submit yours, I'm glad I didn't or I wouldn't have been motivated to write.
Mine could have gone in either the Trans or Gay Male category... so I put it in the Outdoors one instead. I figured the tags point out the other aspects for those who have some preference for or objection to them.

Yes, the first woman I had sex with was in front of her husband after he'd just fucked me for twenty minutes while she filmed! They were abut 30 years older than me and liked younger guys, I was happy to oblige... Met with them a few times, and with some other couples both mixed and gay male, generally I was having sex with the guy but occasionally the woman. And a few group sessions, which were fun.
Sadly those days are behind me as my current partner is not in any way exhibitionist or interested in adding others to the mix. I sort of miss it, but that's life, sometimes you have to give some things up to keep what you truly love.

Here is a Feeldoe/Realdoe review. I am a little loose at times to be able to hold a doe well. I love to be fisted. I can hold one and make it work, but it doesn't always feel secure. My girlfriend has no such problem, she is able to fuck my pussy and my arse, satisfying us both. I am sure your wife will find the doe much better for her than a harness, and you may find it better too.
I also recommend Vaseline. Put it on the doorknob so the kids can't get in.
Belated thanks for that review - we'll certainly give it a try. I do wonder if maybe we shouldn't have started with the largest size though, it feels pretty heavy! I love them big though so....
Also, good Vaseline trick, sadly they're at an age where not being able to come in would result in screaming rather than going off to do something else, and having your children scream is a big turn off (as well as the parental instincts being stronger than the libido...)

i have to admit, i have never watched any. now i'm curious.
Oh, there are some good ones. It was inevitable that someone would eventually come up with "boykkake", I mean, I couldn't be the only guy wishing I was the one kneeling on the floor in those clips. I'm still waiting for someone to fill the niches of cross dressing bukkake and bi-couple bukkake though...

Yes, have a few times, it was good for me but the strap on set we had wasn't too comfortable for her to wear, and the attachments turned out to by crap as after a year the main dildo felt weird and oily, and both it and the "realistic" extra one we got had developed a really off-putting chemical smell, so I through them out. I got some silicone replacements, which are lasting well, but we haven't used them with the strap yet - it's the Vac-U-Lock system, so we have a handle base and a suction cup base....
We did buy a Feeldoe "strapless strapon", but then had kids before we could try it and haven't managed to make the time where there would be no interruptions since, unfortunately. In theory it should be alot more comfortable for her, so hopefully we'll use it more.

Before, yes, and yes even if it was being live-streamed to the world. And I did, it was great (OK, I didn't live-stream it, but the sucking cock part). Now, my partner would need to give me permission, I think I'd feel pretty crappy afterwards if I did it behind her back even if she never found out...
