You are SO extra. *eyeroll*
*cuts one small corner off the cover of IJ*
I'm tryna write a flash story but it's getting rather long. I've hit almost 1k and it ain't even sexy! What to do.
Fizzy water, please.
I've been using my copy of IJ to line the cat box. It's very absorbant.

I get more comments on poems but less views. Competition entries generally generate more votes/comments because (if people are like me) the entrants read one another's work. Obviously some categories get more views. I write love stories and put them in straight sex because I'm a garden hoe. I don't read as much as I'd like. I make a point of always reading all the competition entries just because I'm at least giving back then. I kind of try to gauge the reaction to a story from the comments I receive; are they generic or really enthusiastic? I was quite pleased with my last story. It's not one of my most popular but LYFBUZ loved it (he's an 11/10 btw) and Curvy even messaged me about the characters futures which was fun and awesome and she's awesome.So it made it worth it. Of course getting a million views and a hundred votes would be cool but as long as someone out there appreciates your effort, it's cool. Having said that, sprite even verifies my stories without reading them so I'm retiring from writing.
Lêmøñädē, please.
i know your stories are clean - i want to get them up for everyone to enjoy asap.

Please try to keep it on topic, Spritecus!
Step out of line one more time and you'll have to post a Camel Toe selfie. ;-)
Ah, nevermind. Just post it!
lol - I was going to post a selfie here, but was afraid it would turn all ya'll to the dark/liberal side. ;)

For anyone who knows Pete/kscorn79, go say a few nice things about him. https://forum.lushstories.com/yaf_postsm3027858_Awesome-Award-62018-kscorn79.aspx#3027858
our newest addition to team awesome.

Ok, It's been a long while, for which i apologize, so i'm probably going to put a few up fairly quickly to make it right. First, though, is kscorn079. Pete's been with us for 4 years now, writes like a fiend, and is, apparently, quite well loved by my female mods who drooled all over the place while suggesting his name. Please feel free to add your own thoughts here to one of our awesomest, and oldest (the man is 82 and shows no signs of slowing down!) members. Thanks for being awesome, Pete.

Damn. This is un-right. However, conversations like this often generate ideas. Hopefully, constructive ones. So glad to see some of the names chatting here today. Really glad to hear from Ms. P.
After reading hers and Sprite’s comments, I wonder about two things:
For the sake of the site, my insecure need for validation (false praise is embraced too), but maybe most importantly, the health and well-being of our writers and mods, could we experiment with limiting the number of stories and poems allowed to be posted by either each day and/or each writer?
Currently, in theory, writers can essentially have a new piece posted every 24 hours. For a limited time, could we test a one or two story per week limit?
Secondly, could we also consider an oldie but mouldy, but not call it that, re-posting on the main page, with existing votes and comments, one 5 year old or older story that was well written, viewed, or whatever, to bring new readers and exposure to a blast from the past?
I don’t know how to select them, maybe Nicola’s or mod's choice. Maybe do this 2 or 3 times per week, going through the extensive talent that doesn’t get read as much as it should still be.
Thoughts?
Something really cold and deafening strong. I’m currently at a splash park with a hundred or so screaming kids, not all of them are mine.
we've tried that, but there was a lot of push back and some friction when we did - understandable, but still. :P

Yeah, I get the sense from responses that the old guard is genuinely burnt out and have semi-retired, at least in terms of reading for enjoyment. And that the current pace of submissions is a bit overwhelming.
Maybe we (meaning the current slate of active writers) are the new old guard, and it is up to us to go through each other's back catalogues and read each other more.
Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.
Yeah. I've been doing this for 7 years now and really, the only real breaks i've had were for some serious issues - not really breaks. The stories keep pouring in - good for the site and it's members, but it is a workout at times. So yeah, go check up each other's stories, see which ones you've missed. you can start with mine. I have 150 or so. lol

I will admit to being a litttle bummed that old school big hitter writers don't read or comment on current stories much. That might help drive traffic to new stories, or at least give newbies a bit of encouragement.
Full disclosure. I rarely have time to read for pleasure these days. Ideally, I would read and comment, but the reality is, I read to mod 99% of the time and that means I don't really enjoy most of them, I just am getting them on the front page as fast as possible. Lush, for me, is more of a job than an escape.
Her Royal Spriteness
I think it's growing pains. when lush was smaller, all the writers kind of knew, or were aware of each other and supported each other. and reader recognized most of the heavy hitters. now it's just grown so big and diverse. also, when someone would hit the front page, they'd stay on for a few days. now, we have so many stories coming it, they come and go, and people have a much larger variety to pick from to read. the times they do change.
ps - i've made it clear that members should avoid reading stories by known throne lickers, so that might also factor into it.

Quote by Seve
Not sure of exactly what you are implying although I think I have an idea. My whole intent in joining this site was writing about real life events/things I've experienced however with all the far out stuff I see, what I did or thought was pretty far out is immediately rendered obsolete. I used to be a male exotic dancer who performed live striptease love shows in New Orleans. I've got so many stories about those days that they're coming out my earlobes however I don't think people today would find it interesting. Its just too far out for the younger folks and comes across as fantasy for the older folks.
write them, and write them well, and they will be read.

Soccer: USWNT. Cuz, Alex Morgan of course. But Messi and Ronaldo are always fun. Picked up a slick Real Madrid practice jersey back in the day when I was in Europe.
NCAA Basketball: UNC TarHeels. Fuck Dook.
NCAA Football: Missouri Tigers (alma mater) So. Fuck the ChickenHawks of LowRents, Kansas.
Baseball: Cardinals. Sorry, Damon. Fuck the Cubs.
NFL? Not a fan of any team really anymore since Satanic Stan moved the Rams back to LA. Won't root for that team until the man is dead and buried.
It's no team sport, but I used to watch a lot of tennis growing up. Andre Agassi was my favorite.
Soccer isn't a real sport.

You mean you didn't take your magic hammer to it and fix it? WTH? I thought you could fix anything? I am losing faith here. you need to restore it somehow. I can't lose hope in your magical powers. It would crush me.
i don't do techy stuff. last time i did, Gav and Liz both yelled at me and the site crashed for 3 days straight.

wtf with Marc Maron is really quite good too.
