One of my favorite things is celebrating someone on here who i think is just totally awesome. Today, the person is Verbal. Why? he doesn't suck.

no, seriously, though, Verbal's been around a bit. He's well liked, he doesn't cause me massive migraines every time he posts, he's a wonderful writer and a staple of the community, especially at Rumple's bar and honky tonk. He's supportive and helpful and honestly, just a lovely man to be around. Some of the other awardees i've known for a long while - while i've known Mr V, i'm really just getting to KNOW him and really, he's made of marshmallows and hot chocolate and he has a habit of making me smile whenever i see him about, which isn't always an easy feat!

anyways, it tickles me pink to be able to add a brand new badge to Kaiju-boy's page. Thank you for being part of my Lush experience, Mr V. You are, officially, awesome! *hugs*

I will occasionally (okay more than occasionally) throw in a private joke for Layla.

I was gonna throw sprite's cat Cleo El Gato into Fuckkitty (there are, after all seven cats in it) but was fearful the cat would charge royalties.



a pound of fresh tuna every time she's mentioned (so, presently, you owe her a pound).
while it's sometimes fun to play dress up, do you have any idea how much work it is to do the entire fancy lingerie bit? quite honestly, that stuff only comes out for super special occasions and then, it's for a pretty serious partner as opposed to a casual date. yes, i want to look good for a date, but i don't want to give them unrealistic expectations that i'm going to be dressed as a Vickies fashion model every time we go out for a drink.

So we should all drink Hannahs while we spank her little tushie until its red?


just in case she objects, i think we should tie her over the bar with her pants down around her ankles.

It's 12.08 am and I'm telling Spritelette that sugarbabs is ok with me stalking her. She loves me just like I love you Princess


it's 9:41 am and i am re-reading the restraining order i've just received from Tinket's Lawyer, looking for a loophole.

I deleted and then decided to clean up and ended up reworking significantly - glad I did as I feel much happier with what I produced in the end.

just submitted it now after one last round of revisions - and argh! would you believe I forgot to deleted a great big space after the story ends.

I wonder if this will appear in the final version.

one question - if you edit after publication - do you lose all views, comments etc and do you get bumped to the top?


if you edit (as opposed to resubmitting as new) you keep all your views, comments, and votes. yes, you do get bumped to the top (unless there is a goldie in the que, then it's just under them). if you resubmit as new, none of that holds true.

Okay, VirgoGo and V-Man; I am part of a pin-up social club, so every now and then our social club will meet up, whether it be a movie night, dances, dinner parties etc. We all get dressed up in vintage 40s/50s style dresses and skirts, so yes, you were correct when picturing seam stockings, pencil skirts and victory rolls. My hair is currently waaaaaay too long to put up into victory rolls but I try my best. Some of the girls in the pin-up social club do pin-up modelling, so 40s style bikini modelling and glamour shots.


why did i not know these existed? this is really cool.

Its 7.39pm and I'm stalking sugarbaby


it's 4:42 am and i am sending a PM to one of our members warning her that stalking other members is against TOS.
Quote by nicola
I agree Verbal.

I've asked this option to be added to the settings.


when i asked, you told me 'tough shit. deal with it.' how come kaiju-boy gets special treatment?
does it have Kaiju innit? cause if it does, i'm all over it like cats on cream. (okay, i have been drinking a little today... ).
Quote by Jen
Looking for some advice.

My nails have a pretty good shape so I normally keep them fairly short. Every once in a while I get a notion to grow them, but they're really bad for just getting super dry and splitting when they get to a certain length.

I don't want to just layer on polish. Does anyone have any recommendations for strengthening nails so they don't split? Have you found a product/cream that works for you?

Thanks in advance


massaging luke warm coconut oil into them 2-3 times a day for 5 minutes or so should help. also, don't use hand sanitizer that contain alchohol.

Spray-On Nailpolish

Is this the dumbest invention ever, or do you think this is going to catch on?

It looks so unnecessarily messy, a waste of product and I'll bet the fumes aren't too pretty either. Some people seem excited about it though.



just saw this - i actually get joy from painting my nails - it's meditative in a way - why would i want to take that away by spraying them? i'm guessing a guy invented this. biggrin

I need 500 more words.

Can I bake cookies or have sex with someone to get the word limit stretched a bit?


Quote by Denim_Daisy10


long time no see !
sorry to hear your Niners lost


yeah, but my Raiders looked primed for the playoffs, even with Janikowski on the injured list.
Quote by Dani


Going forward, this won't be the case.


unless you take advantage of Lush 4Ds time machine...
this thread is getting kind of confrontational and i'm starting to feel uncomfortable... NEED HUGS NOW!
ps - a name for the world, project would be nice. also, at some point i'm going to start brainstorming and i'll be handling out free spankings to anyone who gets involved (as spanker or spankee).
Quote by Verbal


HELL yes.

I would be on this like Godzilla on Tokyo.

Speaking of, kaiju would be a nice addition to the mix.

Digging the new avatar btw smile.


edited it to include giant japanese monsters. and thank you - that's actually me... *tries to keep straight face).
Hey guys - i have a wacky idea and i'm starting to put out feelings to see if people might be interested. i know that a lot of Lush's most talented and creative writers gather here, so...

my shared world project. here's the gist of it - i am thinking of creating a world not unlike the one i used for butterfly beach - perhaps in the same world, but not on the specific island, and putting out guidelines, etc, for anyone who wants to write erotica in that setting. here's kind of a list of inspirations (and please, i take suggestions) that are currently on my radar:

Edgar Rice Burroughs'.
Jules Verne
HG Wells
Indian Jones
Steampunk
aliens/tentacles
general pulp fiction (the genre, not the movie!)
Kaiju

would be a mix of fantasy, sci fi, horror, adventure, and, of course, smut (this being lush!). also, any one could steal elements from other writers, such as settings, characters, creatures, etc, tho you should probably get permission. i'd be starting a forum section for people to share ideas, and all that (reminds me, i should probably run this past Nicky at some point - or hope she doesn't notice i'm busy slowly stealing her site for my own nefarious purposes).

anyways, i'd be pleased as punch, to hear y'all's thoughts on the subject.

xx

* edited to include Kaiju (had to look it up - who says lush isn't educational). smile

While I'm sure you're right about people not reading the rules, info on Lush also seems pretty scattered all over the place.


agreed. While it's not spring, maybe some spring cleaning needs to be done in the near future. I'll talk to Nicky about it.
Quote by noll


Vandalizing the neighborhood with the location where you hang out daily may not be the best idea if you want to keep costs down.


no worries - i sign Dani's name to them.
Quote by oceanrunner


I've definitely found this to be the case, when I catch a blooper in a story after publication.

I have no idea what the queue looks like, or how it works, from the moderator end, but would it be possible for an author to make an edit to a submitted story while it's in queue?

Right now I think the options are to wait till it's approved, and then resubmit with the edit.
or to delete the story from the queue entirely, and then resubmit fresh, putting your story all the way back at the end of the line.

Often the sort of edit I'd like to make isn't a specific mistake I can even hope that a mod will catch, but something like, "oh, I wish I'd remembered to add that tag," or, "That's a bit awkward; maybe I can tidy up that phrase."

I know that those sorts of things are things that I can and should catch before submission, but I do sometimes find things afterwards.

Being able to fix them even before they come to a moderator's eyes in the first place would seem to help w their work load. 1 verification vs 2.


actually considering writing a detailed: this is how Lush submissions work, talking about editing, the que, modding, etc now - so you guys have all the 411. that said, that means that people actually need to READ it, so please, if i do, spread the word - at present we get the occasional , , underage story here so i know that there are plenty of members who don't bother learning the rules, etc as is...

Put ads on TV, magazines and online. You're bound to grow and recoup any advertising you spend on.

Maybe even put an ad on subways or cabs or buses in the big cities. Think NYC, Las Vegas, LA.



err... lovely idea, but i live with a woman who knows exactly what that kind of advertising costs, and no, you're not going to bring in even close to enough paying members to make up for the initial costs. that said, i started a graffetti campaign in Seattle a while back, so if you live in the area, don't be surprised to see Lushstories.com spray painted around the city.
Quote by Emily260
Quick opinion here Sprite, maybe this should be a sticky thingy? You know what I'm like, a pain in the arse to the authors that give a shit about their work. I didn't know about the box thing and it makes sense to me- hopefully beneficial for both the masses and the modness' xxx


probably a good idea - i'll badger Nicky into doing it sometime in the near future (i'm too lazy to bother - one of the cons of being part cat). smile
