Hi everyone!!! I'm back and reading and writing. You know how all of you inspire me. ?

My latest poem is live and I'd love for you to give it a read.


The beauty of Ds for me has never been about what two people do but the dynamic fluidity of how it touches and shapes them--at what point do they transcend and how do I find words to define it. Join me on my creative journey. Give me a read and share with me what you think.

I'm kinda surprised at this reply since you yourself spam. I understand what you are saying, but I'm not the only one that spams their work here. I usually never spam or send emails. I tend to agree that should someone be especially prolific, the emails can add up. That said, I write maybe one story a month or less, so I hardly think it burdens anyone.


I do hope that my original comment did not give anyone the impression that I object to "spam" or that I was referring to anyone in particular. That definitely was not my intention. If it did, I apologize with sincerity.

I hate that self promotion here is considered to be spam, considering this is a story site. I recommend self-promotion. I appreciate my friends (and others) that alert me to their new stuff (sometimes old stuff). I don't always make it to the front page in time to catch them. If a writer doesn't think enough of his/her own writing to recommend it, then why should anyone else! There should be no apologies for it. Many here have heard me say that. I do mass mail my friends to announce new pieces. A good many of my followers are friends too. I'm simply conscious of how often I use personal messaging for self-promotion.The only time I double up on a mass mailing of a piece is when a change, a mistake or an addition (like a voice reading) has been made. Overkill can defeat the purpose.

As far as Lush adding some type of new feature to allow us to mass mail our "followers only" in regards to something newly published, which was the original suggestion I responded to, Lush already does that. Followers requested to receive notification of new stories by their chosen writer. I'm thankful for that too. Besides mass PMs, there are a lot of other opportunities to self promote and promote others here with story details. That's a Lush plus you don't get everywhere else and I simply wanted to encourage utilizing them as well.

I would like to see away for us to notify our followers with and email of a new story. A way to Mass email them as we do our friends. I do know by them being a follower they get and announcement, but I still think a mass email would help and remind them when they follow so many writers.

Thanks, Simmie


I'm all for self-promotion when it focuses on the story itself. It's a great way to increase interest in the story or poem. But, followers already immediately receive a notification of new stories from their chosen writers. That's why they have the option to follow. If you mass mail your friends in addition to that announcement, the followers that are friends receive two notifications. With some writers either sending out mass mailings for multiple stories within, say, one week (maybe they published more than one a week or are just trying to drum up more story attention)...Well, it starts to add up--which may have the opposite desired effect. I know it's tempting, but too many pm's that basically say the same thing makes me feel sorry for my own readers. I shy away from that.

If there are readers that favor you and you feel that they need an "extra" shove, contact them individually. The writer initiates further contact and Lush is not responsible for any inbox glutting. Lush is already assisting the writer by notifying who has said they want to be notified (our followers). That along with the allowance of self-promoting options in the threads and blog announcements on your page, I think Lush is being more than accommodating as it is and I'm thankful for that. That's much more assistance than is given on comparable sites
I am wonderfully content and happy right now--and I haven't even had my Starbucks yet.
Her AV is wearing them "shorts" and I'm loving it! It's going to take me a minute to look over the other points of interest on her profile.

Hello

I have a problem I'm currently a virgin and that's by choice but the reason is that I am scared of getting close and intimate with people. I get urges and have a healthy solo life but I want to make a connection sometimes, to feel close to a person even if it's just for a short time.

Also I don't meet many new people so dating or hook ups in my area aren't really an option especially since I can be so painfully shy that it puts people off.

I hope that you can help me I want to meet people but my fear is a huge obstacle.


I like the fact that no one has responded to this. Interestingly, it appears that your post was made on the exact day you officially joined the site. No response is either an indication that the post is or that the level of consciousness and responsibility toward one another on the site is in a good place. I choose to believe the latter.

Find yourself a good therapist; there is nothing wrong with discussing emotional problems with someone actually qualified to help if your search for help is sincere. No two people have exactly the same ideas on sex. And too, this is a social thread on an erotic writing site.

Ideally sex would be associated with intimacy, but in reality it is not necessary. One can easily be achieved without the other. The connection between the two is tenuous at best.

Being intimate with anyone requires you to be open and honest. Past relationships, childhood hurts and other emotional conflicts, whether superficial or incredibly deep, can get in the way of this. In these situations, counselling can be of benefit. Not only will resolving your issues lead to deeper and more intimate relationships in general, it can lead to amazing sex too--when you decide you are ready for that.

Upset?...nah not really. I was having a whinge, thing is, I do get that if there wern't some basic rules/guidelines on the members writing to keep it up to some sort of standard the REALLY GOOD stuff would likely get sidelined by stuff that is just overly loud and tasteless...fair enough. There are other sites seemingly dripping in erotic fiction but its all to a very poor standard....NOT on here though!.

Oh yeah it is Bosch avrgblkgrl...the garden of earthly delight...good pick up!.

You know what you've inspired me...i'll get onto something!.

I'm glad, truly.?

I thought I recognized it. When I was in high school, I was obsessed with Hieronymus Bosch and the theory behind all the symbolism in his work--classic closet nerd.
Quote by Verbal
This just happened to me, and I broke out of it by writing pages and pages of dialogue. I just let the characters talk to each other. The story gradually grew out of it.

I finished the first draft this afternoon!


I do that all the time. I let my characters breathe and just do their thing. Then I go back and fill in what is necessary. The dialogue actually ends up being more natural and interesting when I do it that way. And, it gets you out of a storyline slump.

...I'll get back on here soon with another story, but right now I just do not the time to write about a sexual experience and be in full university of Harvard humanities doctorate mode to complete it to a level that MIGHT be required on this site...



JB, you sound a little upset and I'm sorry for that. I also understand, and I bet a lot of the writers here no matter what level they are on understand too. Everyone has experienced that type of frustration--specifically after spending "5 to 7 hours crafting" and "drawing" a story only to have it sent back for corrections. Writing is sensitive stuff.

You are absolutely right though, there are some extremely fine writers here. I'm learning from them all the time. I read some of my earlier stuff and cringe from embarrassment. This is an excellent place to learn. The volunteers that verify submissions and do slight editing put a lot into learning the art of writing. Establishing consistency as far as requirements are concerned among all our writers (including the ones doing the editing) is also important to them. Keep in mind too that correcting your own errors when they have been pointed out to you is actually a quicker way to get rid of bad writing habits. We all have some bad habits when it comes to our own writing--even when we are in a "humanities doctorate mode". Believe me.

Here's the thick of it: When writer's block hits or you feel stifled, it is an excellence chance to just sit back and research some of your bad habits. Go through your edits and suggestions from the staff or friends, and make lists of your own weaknesses. (I actually wish I would pay more attention to my own before I press the publish button.) Get something like Strunk and White's The Elements of Style and read it like you would a novel. Write all in the margins and underline shit that catches your attention or you just never knew. It will make you bold.


Boldness is needed when, as you said, "we as a society reach an entirely different level of understanding when we set aside the rules of convention...particularly in the pursuit of STORY." Pursue that story but don't ignore grammar, structure or punctuation in the process, it only distracts from all the hard work you put into that unique story. That's "5-7" hours you won't get back. Phonetics is nice in theatrical manuscripts if that's what the actor needs, but the beauty of writing really establishes itself in being able to lead your readers in such a way that you don't have to resort to that, outside of dialogue, to get them to get "insight into [your] base idea."

I hope you find the time to come on back with something new.rjDGJRxnPAzqxvcK

PS Is that a Bosch piece for your AV? I can't see it clearly but it looks familiar.
LOL. How I feel when people I don't know try to touch my hair...

you could just fold all your clothes and put them on shelves, you know... ;)


Please don't share that little piece of information with my husband. He was very moved by my conquered childhood fear. I may have to turn my "closet" back into another guest bedroom.
I used to have these dreams when I was little about the Hangerman. He would make noises in my closet and try to come get me at night. It was serious stuff. My dad would have to look in my closet real well and try to convince me no one was there.

Well, in the spirit of facing one's fears, I examined what was at the root of that fear. No therapist needed. Now I've dedicated my life to shopping so that none of my closets have empty hangers--therefore no more Hangerman.

I wonder if it would be an idea, to add a feature, so that when someone leaves, they have the option to leave their stories on the site if they wish, and just their profile gets deleted. Good idea?

Those stories would be paired to the email address of the person who submitted them, so should they ever want them removed, we'd have an easy way to verify the person.



Nicola, I think that is a wonderful idea.

I know that someone just recently tried to plagiarize one of my first erotic stories ever posted on line. Didn't even bother to correct all my errors or get rid of that terrible storyline flaw. Because I could just send a link of where to find it, with my name and the earliest publishing date, the issue was quickly resolved.

Ping is a great writer. Life is life though and it can demand all of your attention--unless you are the amazing and delectable Sprite with her collection of sexy super powers?. Hum...where was I...regardless of why ping had to leave us, we certainly miss him. I hope he misses us just a little bit and comes back.

If you truly appreciate what you read here, don't wait until the writer fades. Tell them, vote, comment (really comment), follow them, favorite what really appeals to you and send them a PM every once in a while. Writers are sensitive people and everyone needs encouragement. It can make a world of difference to a person. Don't let the good ones slip through the cracks. This isn't a commentary on this situation, but just a general thought of mine. It's something I'm putting into practice.
