This was a really good question! I'm new to this as well - I've written two stories for Lush, and am currently writing my third. I can really identify with your difficulty, because my stories are chapters involving the same two characters. In an effort to not write "similar" stories each time, I'm trying instead to tell the story of a relationship. It's only sexual, not romantic, and kind of falls into the category of an obsession, but I'm exploring the lengths to which these two people will go, in every confrontation... something that sets the next "confrontation" apart from the last, and amps up the sexual energy.

I'm not sure how successful I've been, and I'm worried about how I'm going to end it, or even if I'm going to end it at all. But I've forgotten that I have this huge resource of accomplished Lush authors on whom to draw for advice! Thanks for asking this question. smile
I could never use green tea as an eye-opener, like coffee, but I love it otherwise during the day. There's something very comforting about it, and it doesn't even need sugar or milk to be enjoyable. The health benefits are just a nice bonus. smile
To my girl cat: WHY do you pee all over my husband's army gear, but not mine? Do you really hate him that much?

To my boy cat: Thank you for being the most affectionate pet I've ever owned, who follows me from room to room, even the bathroom... but why do you love to trip me on the way up or down the stairs?

To both cats: So... you can understand and speak English...but this is just for the next 5 minutes, right? Because if you're going to be talking to EVERYBODY about me, this could get awkward. smile
Oh, no! Don't get after improper use of ellipsis... I'll be in so much trouble! smile
I used to cover up my butt... until I realized it was like covering up a baby grande piano... yes, there's a covering over it, but you can still tell there's a piano under there!!! smile I'm resigned to my butt... but I'm with Maz - NOT liking my tummy much, either. :P
OMG... between this forum and Clum's last story, I think I'm going to have to start wearing adult diapers when I visit this site... in case I piss myself laughing, LOL! smile

I have to agree with Stephanie, though... girls have been sucking cock forever, and it hasn't killed any of us yet... has it? :P

I tend to like first person narrative when reading short-story erotica. It gives the illusion (whether the story is true, or just imagined) that the fantasy encounter is a dirty dark confessional that the writer is choosing to share with an audience.

However, I have found that writing in first person is also much more personal and vulnerable for an author. I do feel like I'm sharing a part of myself that very few people will ever know of me. Sometimes that can put me a bit on edge in an unexpected way. It's more intense.

I also appreciate a good third personal narrative if it's well. It's less personal for the author, and I find that creating the characters and the plot line can be done with fewer inhibitions.... At least in my own experience, anyway.



All I can do is totally echo Dancing Doll. Though I'm still very much new at this, I've only used first person present so far. I'm not confident enough in my character development to write in third person, though I do like to read it. But I find, especially for erotica, first person present really drops the reader immediately into the story, and they experience everything right along with the narrator, the "me" voice. It made things more intense for me, even to write. But, and I thank Dancing Doll for the observation, because I never thought of it before, it DOES make the author vulnerable, in a way. That explains why I sometimes feel a bit shaky and raw, I guess, when I finish a story.
I'm not nearly as accomplished as the rest of you - I've only posted 2 stories on Lush so far - but maybe I can offer the perspective of a novice author. I wrote my first story as a very personal fantasy. It had been bugging me long enough that I felt totally compelled to just write it down. I'd never done anything like that, before. But I sort of liked the flow of it, so I asked a couple of friends to read it. To my amazement, they not only liked it, but told me made them aroused, as well! When one of them suggested another erotica website (vastly inferior to Lush, I might add), I initially posted it there, to lukewarm reviews. ONE person's comment, though, encouraged me to write a "sequel," which I also posted on that site. But when another friend suggested Lush, and I posted my stories here... My God, the genuine, sincere responses were overwhelming! And it's given me incentive to write yet another chapter in a story that started out as a simple scenario in my head.

Long story short, I'm not really sure what someone thinks or does, reading my stories. But I know I'm just as thrilled with the comment that says they loved my use of language or my descriptions, as I am with a comment that it "made me hot." smile In fact, I think I like the fact that they enjoyed my writing style is even more of a kick. Like maybe this new hobby isn't a waste of my time. :)

Anyway, those are my two cents. I continue to read and admire the rest of you, immensely. xx

Everything is foreplay if you do it right: a look, a smile, a touch, a thought, a feeling. Of course, sometimes the foreplay leads to direct, hot, "immediate" sexual stuff like sucking and fucking: through the door and push her against the wall for untamed sex, wild and fast. Other times, it's the slow, slow agonizing build-up, tender, sweet, lingering, teasing that goes on forever. Either way, the conclusion has already been reached, the question answered, the ending pre-determined: "Are we going to do this?" "Oh, yes, we are!"


TOTALLY agree with this! I always tell my husband I'm into "all day foreplay." Little touches in the morning, a look across the living room when the kids are playing around us, a hand brushing his shoulder as I reach past him to grab a coffee cup... I've had entire days of that, then have had the kids go out the door to play, which my husband locks behind them in a flash...and have found myself backed up against a wall before I can blink. smile So... sometimes, you can have a bit of both... ;)
If it's someone I already know, then I love a bit of sexting... especially if it starts out as normal, everyday conversation that gets steadily more flirty, until I get really hot over it. And sometimes I go from there to the phone, and by the time I get THERE... well, then things get interesting. smile I'm pretty shy in person, too, so I can really let go by text or over the phone, and say stuff that I've always wanted to, but couldn't, face to face. ;)
Probably makes me a driving hazard to say it, but DEFINITELY all three. Hey, everybody's Adele in their own car, right? smile
