Yes especially when you're around OP!


Can we please keep the discussion relevant, sexy tits.
Quote by TheUprightMan

I hate the non-word "cum." It smacks of semi-literacy.


You could say the same about tits being semi-literate teats.
The OP's gone already - maybe the advice of being patient wasn't what he wanted to hear
That's a pretty huge task. All those words have very subtle differences in how your reader will react to their use.

Cunts get fucked hard. Relentlessly. Cunts are used. Cunts ache. Can pussies stand up to that? Probably not. A slit is just the pussy from the outside.

Pinch a bottom . Spank a backside. Fuck an ass.

A bitch satisfies her own needs. Sluts do to a certain extent too, though not to the same extent. For whores it's purely a transaction.

A woman will tease your dick, stroke your shaft, sit on your cock but laugh at your willy

You make my comments sound rather pejorative.

I've nothing personally against any of my friends, but I do think some just add me for the kudos of having a lot of friends and see me as another pair of tits to have on their list x


Not intended. I should have used "one's friend list" rather than the colloquial "you".

You have tits? FR?

So, you're saying if I buy a chicken that's been set free and seen the world, it's ok to eat pink? Sorry, not convinced by that answer. I wouldn't think diet would make that much difference.


Chicken sashimi is served in Japan but I understand it's an acquired taste. One I can live without acquiring

Most game birds are truly free range. Chickens are bred in huge sheds and spend their life walking around in their own shit all day.

The problem with washing chicken is that it doesn't kill the bacteria but it does spread it around the area of your kitchen sink on tiny droplets of water.

E.coli sandwiches, anyone?
If you view your friends list as a homogenous lump rather than as a collection of individuals then spamming them works just fine.

Of course the downside is that it opens up communication with those friends who are a little hard work but aren't quite annoying enough to get themselves deleted ;)

Status blogs and forum sigs probably work better
Believe it or not as a woman on lush (or in most online environments) you have the power. There are twice as many men on here than women and about half of those women are only looking to talk with other women. Any man looking to make a connection on here has to use any available strategy to get and to hold attention.

Some men will say anything they think you want to hear to make sure you continue to talk to them. Some might even believe that what they say is actually how they feel. It's a self perpetuating delusion.

You only have to look at the stories on here to realise that the members of Lush are a very imaginative lot. Unfortunately, that wonderful creativity and imagination can be a weakness and can allow those who enjoy manipulation to toy with emotions.

So what happens? You get hurt, maybe you throw in the towel and give up on Lush. Lots have. Maybe you stick around, a little hardened for the experience. A little less trusting, a little less generous, a little less you.
Anyone remember Google Wave and how that was going to "reinvent email".

If it works, then great. Users of already have seen this in action to some degree with google helpfully reading the contents of your email to help you organise your schedule and look at some helpful adverts from their sponsors. Privacy nuts will have a field day with this innovation.

I don't know about everyone else but i'm using email a lot less than say 10 years ago (ie before social networks).
Either are great, but one can't rely too heavily on them as an appraisal of ability.

Scores, in are my mind, are useless but at least they provide a measure of some interaction from the reader. A comment you can judge on the person who's giving it.
The tail off probably has less to do with any writing ability than with the transient nature of most traffic on Lush.

You can see this for yourself on the homepage which tells you how many people are accessing the site - but if there are 10,000 visitors only around 300 are going to be signed in members. There's no real way of knowing how regular the 97% of non-member traffic is; if the stay for long or if they're just here for a quick thrill.

Members and non-members seem to have different reading habits. Things that attract non-members attract big page views but obviously you don't get the comments. Things like poems see very little non-member interest - that's why the views are low but they still get a lot of comments.

Seeing - "chapter 4" after a title may say to casual readers "you're going to have to work a little to enjoy this" and there are plenty of other stories they could read instead. If writing a multi chapter story is where you want to take your writing then just go for it and damn the numbers.
Quote by BethanyFrasier

So, if they leave me a comment on something I have done solely for myself, they are going out of their way to extend me a courtesy, to which I respond with a courtesy. That is the way courtesy works. Its not absolutely necessary for a civilized society, but it makes us more civilized. If you are so successful, and have so many readers that you simply don't have the time to thank them all, then lucky you. Fame has its costs, and unfortunately, the impracticality of extending simple courtesy is one of the first things lost.


Here's a comment for you...

Could you ramp up the sanctimony in that a bit? I don't think you're coming across as self-righteous as you're going for.

Quote by Coco


I find this statement rather interesting. Out of curiosity and nothing more, do you truly disrespect someone because of their opinion?


Of course I do. It's probably the only legitimate reason to disrespect someone.

If, for example, my opinions were bigoted or sexist or in any other way offensive, would I be worthy of respect?

I hope your curiosity is satisfied
Quote by Possibly


You have a right to your opinion. I respect that. Please respect my right to have an opinion. I understand some people find a thank you detestable. I get it. I find not giving thanks shows a lack of courtesy...that's all. We'll just agree to disagree. Fair?


It's not that people find a thank you detestable, they find them unnecessary.

Of course, I do respect your right to HAVE an opinion but I also reserve the right to disrespect you on the BASIS of that opinion
Quote by Possibly



So, if I'm understanding you correctly, your time is important and valuable. But the time that it takes a person to read, comment, and score on your story is not valuable. Is this correct? In that case, why not turn off scoring and comments? Why even publish? (The math doesn't work out here with respect to value of time, but that's my opinion.)

Concerning being annoyed, it's my right as is my opinion. It's the same thing as you believing that your time is more valuable than your readers' time. That is your personal opinion, and you have a right to your opinion.


I wrote this on another thread but I think it's applicable here.

[original thread: [url=http://]https://www.lushstories.com/forum/yaf_postsm1660504_Not--scoring-and-commenting-on-stories.aspx#1660504[/url]]

"So let me this straight. Someone puts together a 1500 word story, building characters and plot with a good dash of eroticism that you feel is good enough to be worthy of leaving comment. You run off an 8 word platitude and then expect to be the one who's thanked in this exchange?"

I'm also in agreement with VanGogh with regard to these "Thank You" images - nothing more than a bit PR to slap on someone's profile, if you ask me.

I'd better make my position clear: If anyone is leaves a comment on any of stories EXPECTING to be thanked for it, please prepare to be disappointed. It's not narcissism, it's not arrogance - I wrote a story in the hope that if someone reads it, they'll enjoy it. I don't enter any kind of contract for the time they take out to entertain themselves with the story. If they decide to read it and they enjoy it, my work has already been done - simple.

To be annoyed by not being thanked by an author - in my opinion - is petty and not short of arrogance in itself
Quote by Dani


Give it what you want.

Just my interpretation is all. Take it at face value or dismiss it...whichever tickles your peach.


Oh, so you just made it up. OK, carry on
Quote by Dani
'cum' simply because 'cum' is just shorthand for 'succumbed'


Show your working on this! This sounds like one of those things that gets made up, then someone else says it and then people suddenly think it's fact- you know, like wikipedia.

I'll be happily proved wrong on this but for the moment I'm giving this "fact" the skunk-eye
Oi oi

Happy birthday, you old tart.

Sending you a bumper pack of double AA batteries - should last you the week
Let me get this straight: the time it takes for people to get hysterical that someone might have abandoned Lush is now down to TWO DAYS!

He's not even deactivated his account.

This is a piss-take, isn't it?
