4. Make-up: Some women wear it because they feel they need to. Others wear it because they can. It's art. It's expressive. You can do anything you want with it. Create any look you want. You can go soft and subtle, or hardcore, and everything in between. Make-up, when done right, is a very beautiful thing. And I'm all for anything that makes anyone feel beautiful, myself included.
Okay, I should have said, "Make-up for make-up's sake."
I understand women trying to create a certain look for a certain situation. I understand, and can appreciate, artistic make-up.
It's the women who wear make-up out of habit that I don't get. They slap on a bit of foundation and eye-liner "just 'cause". As part of a daily routine, it's time-consuming, expensive and, in my opinion, unnecessary.
Men don't need or use make-up to make themselves look more attractive. And I've never once seen a woman with no make-up on and thought, "What a dog; she could do with a bit of lippy." You don't need it to make yourself beautiful/sexy/acceptable; you just think you need it.

A lot of my mates were really into them when they were first kicking about on the bar scene in Edinburgh and Glasgow.
I never paid much attention to them until they became more mainstream, to be honest. I think Only Revolutions is a great album. I hear they put on a damn fine show.

Playing devil's advocate, would anyone play a sport like American football if we all wanted to avoid causing ourselves serious harm? There are many dangerous activities that we partake in day in and day out, for one reason or another. If we consistently "played it safe", what kind of life would we lead?
You have to try to understand why he wants to play football so much. Maybe he does want to try to make career of it, or maybe the football field is the only place he feels he is worth something; I don't know. Then you can both discuss it and attempt to balance the risks with his reasons.
We all take risks in life; we just have to try to make sure that it's worth it.

Hi Gav. I was editing a story and comunicating with the writer when she reported that $ dollar signs were being deleted when the writer hit submit. I was able to replace them in the moderator edit screen.
Special symbols always disappear when you copy and paste into the editing screen. That's been a long-standing "problem" that Gav has been made aware of. I've fallen foul of it myself.
I don't know if it can be fixed, but I'd advise being vigilant when verifying.

I can't believe I missed this. Thanks for the clarification!
I believe moderators are working to a more up-to-date version of the A to Z than what is posted publicly, so actually you haven't missed anything. I have requested that the two be brought in line with each other.

Anyway, so tentacles is the only exception? Like, if I were to write a story about a were-octopus (which I totally, totally might now that I'm thinking about it (seriously, wtf is wrong with my brain)) whose lower body was that of an octopus', that would be allowed?
No. That's sex with an animal, albeit fictional, and is therefore not allowed.

The whole knotting thing is one of the best aspects of werewolf smut, so I'm trying to understand why this in particular isn't allowed. (I was totally one of those annoying kids in class who was constantly asking "why", by the way. Apparently you just don't grow out of some things. Though, I'm pretty sure most of my teachers would be horrified if they knew where my curiosity lead to these days...and I'm digressing =p)
Essentially, the guidelines that are set out are what have been agreed by the moderating team as what is acceptable, i.e., what is deemed appropriate for this site. Setting these boundaries prevents us from slipping into a site that just allows, well, anything. They help maintain a standard and an image that makes the site appeal to as wide an audience as possible.
These guidelines are reviewed from time to time, particularly when there is a demand for certain types of stories, e.g., tentacle stories.

A much better mobile site, more complete, able to login and do everything just as if you're on the full site. I'm always on my iPhone or iPad when I get on here.
You can visit the full site on your mobile or tablet with full functionality. With a device like an iPhone or iPad, you shouldn't have problems with size or anything.
The mobile site is intended to be simple and all about the stories.

I quite agree with Clum, with just one addition, to my understanding the knot issue is unique to canines so if it can be left out of the story, I would advise not putting that part in. Pun not intended
Sorry, yeah. Like I said before, characters should have human sex organs. Totally blanked on that part; thanks, OWA.

Quote by Emerys
I swear I don't mean to be a hardass, but can I ask why? I mean, I know tentacles are allowed as long as it's not an actual octopus/squid having the sex, so why not, say, excess hair, pointy ears, and a knot on a werewolf?
So would that be okay?
One of my more experienced colleagues will correct me if I'm wrong, but that all sounds fine to me.
Quote by Emerys
If yes, I'd still like to know why #2 wouldn't be allowed? Particularly if the werewolf could still think rationally and was only stuck in that form for whatever reason, and if the sex between the werewolf and his/her partner was entirely consensual. I mean, it's not exactly , y'know?
These are the guidelines we have:
During sexual activity or arousal, all characters must appear as human or humanoid. They need to have human sex organs and human features. Creatures that walk upright and appear as human are allowed. In addition, beings that are extremely hairy, with claw appendages, and a wolf-like face and can engage in a spoken conversation are allowed in stories. Fairies, fauns, and satyrs are permissible.
Does that help? I've not dealt with that many stories in the Supernatural category but I'm trying to answer your questions as best I can.
Quote by Emerys
Once again, sorry for all the questions. I write a lot of hardcore -ish smut and my interests seem to straddle the IS-NOT-ALLOWED line quite a bit.
Please don't apologise. Contrary to popular belief, we don't like rejecting stories. If people know what's acceptable and what isn't before they post, it makes our job a whole lot easier. Therefore, I encourage people to ask questions, especially if the main goal of writing a particular story is to have it posted on Lush.

Ok. So if they were to come up with a safe word the sub in that scenario would be able to say "stop" or "no", right? Because I can't imagine any type of fantasy playing out where those words wouldn't be said at least once. So it's probably in my best interest to determine a safe word and just not use it.
If it's made completely clear from the off that both are fully consenting to acting out this fantasy, you probably don't need a safe word. I would feel more comfortable if you established a safe word and didn't use it though.
EDIT: If no safe word is established, I would advise a closing scene which reiterates the complete consent of both parties throughout, despite any protests during.
Quote by Emerys
Um, I also have a question regarding (I apologize if these questions are bothersome). I realize that it's a huge no-no at lush (understandably considering it's pretty much ), but I'm curious to know if sex between a human and a were-creature (ex: werewolf) would be acceptable? For example, the were-creature would be human-shaped but still have animal parts/features. Mentally, they'd be a mix of the two. Would that be OK?
Stories such as this would probably be dealt with case by case, as they are so rare. It sounds almost passable but I think the moderating team would have to have a look at the actual story (once written). Characters engaging in sexual activity must have human sex organs and human features.
Quote by Emerys
Or if, say, a shape-shifter shifted into an animal but had the full mind of human and non-penetrative sex (on anyone's part) occurred (example: a human-turned-wolf licking in between a woman's legs, but that's it)-- would that type of story be rejected? I only ask because I'm also considering writing an Alpha/Beta/Omega story and that's something I'd like to include. In my head the wolf will interrupt a woman masturbating, curiously "taste" her, and then shift to human so the actual sex can happen. It'll be entirely consensual and the shape-shifter will, as I mentioned, have the mind of a human, even in (brief) animal form. So: yay or nay?
My instinct would be no to the wolf licking between the legs. It's the kind of thing that would probably go to discussion but I'm pretty sure that wouldn't pass. Would have to change shape before anything sexual occurred.
