Tonight at a friends, I had a Mars Bar, chopped and wrapped in puff pastry, and baked. Served with vanilla ice cream. It was incredible. Other than that, baked cheese cake with rich chocolate topping is my vice...


Fancy! In Scotland, we just dip it in batter and fry the fuck out of it.

Except poems, obviously.

I'm working on an entry as well after an inspiring conversation last night sparked some ideas on one of my favourite dirty fantasies.

And of course, the VIP theme is a hard one to resist.


Doll's entering!? Bollocks to it, then. *throws away story and picks up bottle of wine*

1. You can publish as many stories as you like at a time, but they will only hit the front page once per day. This does not, however, mean they are unavailable. Post links in your profile blog so your followers can get a jump on reading them. Link to part 2 from the end of part 1 so people can keep reading. The benefit here is that when the subsequent parts DO show up on the front page, they'll already have some views and votes.


This is true but we would really prefer you to submit only one story per day so that other authors' stories may be verified more quickly. If you throw twenty into the queue at once, expect nineteen of them to be rejected with a note telling you to resubmit tomorrow. Two, maybe three, is usually okay.

Sorry, was meant as a joke...


Retracted.
Quote by Spleen_Muse
Editted that out ;)


Then made the same mistake telling us about it...
Yes, it happens all the time.

If it's just a few small changes, they will be checked over by a moderator and the story will be re-verified. It won't lose its views, votes or comments and it won't go back on the front page. There will be no indication that the story has been edited; you would have to tell people.

If there are significant changes, it will need to be considered as a new submission.

Hope that helps.

So girls....do you like your men with a bald cock and balls or neatly trimmed or a big bush ?


I don't grow hair on my cock so it's always bald. Is yours different?
What do you often have a hankering for after a hearty meal?

What do you like to indulge your sweet tooth with?

Pictures welcome.

In other news:
I recently noticed this option in my setting/privacy:
Public Voting - Y/N Only members can vote on my stories

This doesn't work yet? I'd love to be able to turn this option of. If unregistered people could vote it would mean that the votes represent a larger public. There would of course be the occasional troll-voter, but in the end I think u'dd have a more accurate score of your stories.

Thoughts?


Are you saying you're unable to change that preference? You should be able to and if it isn't working, use the Contact Us page to let someone know.
Quote by DirtyMartini
Wow, look at that...you just got four new tags for all your stories right there...I bet next time somebody clicks on "wodgermacallit" only your stories will come up...


"Uncut" might not work so well, though...
I first visited Lush because I was a young man in need of some "stimulation" and I was pig-sick of porn.

I tried my hand at writing and discovered I quite liked it so I signed up with Lush and gave it a go.

I made some friends and started getting kicks from cyber-chat and the like. People started to like my stories so I wrote some more.

I ventured into the forums and found a wonderful community in here. I posted here, there and everywhere, recognising more and more faces and having mine recognised, too.

I found myself coming on every day, checking the forums, a few posts. I'd read a cheeky wee story or three, maybe have a cheeky wank.

I was asked to be a story verifier; I was given an opportunity to make some kind of contribution to a site I love. I was welcomed with open arms into a brilliant team.

I have made real friends here and I have grown as a writer and a person. I've learned more about sex than I probably ever needed to know. I've laughed and cried and shouted and laughed some more.

Every day on Lush is a new adventure.

Why do I visit Lush? Shits and giggles, mostly.

Is that a 5, or...?
Quote by Dancing_Doll
Oh yeah, I remember that thread.

Occasionally I've wondered if there was a way to search favourited-stories or followed-authors in a real time way on the site.
There might be, and I'm not figuring it out because I'm blonde. But then just think of all the other blonde readers on this site who can't figure out how to get those stats either! It would be a great search-function as maybe a front-page tab.


Yeah, that's what I meant by dynamic; it could be done in much the same way that Most Popular and Most Viewed are done. I'm pretty sure there's no way to do that at present (I usually stumble across these things when I go exploring Lush).

Nicola had mentioned wanting to include a 'Favourited' count beside the average score on the story page but I don't know if she remembers.
Quote by Dancing_Doll
I'd actually like to see a tab that list and sorts "Most Favourited" stories on the site.

I think that's a great measure of story popularity. If a reader wants to actually mention/list your story on their profile page, that's truly the highest compliment.



Nicola put out a list two years ago (HERE) but I totally agree that this should be a dynamic feature of the site.

I'm scared to ask them to put something else on Gav's to-do list though...
I would recommend a chat about your relationship. You don't have to be at the same level but it will only harm the relationship (and both of you) if you're nowhere near and never talk about it.

If he loves you as much as he seems to, he'll understand what you are saying and back off a little, giving you the space to breath and the time to determine if you'll ever get to where he is.

You shouldn't have told him you loved him if you didn't but I can understand if you were feeling under pressure when he said it. It's not the end of the world but you've got to realise that he now thinks you're just as into this and that's part of the reason that he's so... intense.

As for affection; no. Some people are affectionate; some people are not. You don't have to be the same but you have to respect each other's levels. If he is overly affectionate, let him know that you're not really like that. At the very least, he will understand and not take it as a really bad sign when you're not all over him all the time.

Best of luck.

Is this a very publicly "private" conversation or can anyone join in?


Please do.
Quote by Magical_felix
He asked if I worked behind the camera or in front. Clint is probably the greatest actor/director ever. I added "of fucking" cause it's porn.


I got that, thanks. I was implying that Clint is such a badass that he'd probably do just as well in the porn industry and become "the Clint Eastwood of fucking".

Also, he's probably a damn good fuck.

I agree that scoring isn't the most important aspect of the site.

But often, when I'm looking to read a story. I find myself having to read a big part of it before deciding that the story isn't actually as good as the score says it is. There are so many stories available, sometimes it's frustrating to spend a lot of time trying to find a good one.

Can you tell me how u distinguish a really good story from an average one without reading through a part of it? I noticed the sorting by popularity isn't just a sorting by rating, as it shows stories that do not have the perfect average-5-rating. And I found these stories noticeably better than some other ones that I read on this site. I'm gonne assume the popularity is a mix of views/ratings/favorites, which is really good I think.


The Most Popular feature recently got updated because of a similar discussion. It used to be based purely on average score but I believe it's now calculated using the truncated mean or some nonsense like that. In general, you will find the cream of the crop in the first two pages of each category's Most Popular.

Even looking at scores alone, I can often tell if a story's going to be good or not. Although it might not seem it, there can a big difference between a story with a rating of 4.88 based on 13 votes and a story with a rating of 4.95 based on 32 votes.

Lisa and Milik have made wonderful suggestions.

Once you get in the swing of Lush, you'll find what works best for you as a reader.
