Nobody is truly who they say they are in real life, ore more accurately, can live up to what you make them in your imagination.
i think it's only natural that people, online, put the best of themselves out there and not the worst. i mean, some of it leaks through, but it's not as obvious if you were spending space time. i mean, you're not going to be able to notice hygiene issues online, for example, or physical quirks and yeah, we do tend to idealize people we fall for here as well. i think that's only natural.

Kiera and i have started a netflix movie 'dating' thing... fridays, we get together and que up a movie and watch it together. it's fun - people should try this! yesterday was Jungle Book - the new one. really good. i don't know if the animals were CG or not, but they looked real and it was a great story - suspenseful i parts. highly recemended. oh, and Bill Murray was born to play a bear (he's Baloo).

When I watch amateur porn and the couple doing it have got the TV on in the background. Seriously, they're banging away and Peter Falk is doing his stuff in the margin.
When i'm trying to watch Columbo and some freaking couple is boning on the floor so i can only see half the screen.

are you trying to insinuate that your (admittedly) well-written stories cause me to get WET? I would love to confirm this but must wait for your comp entry.

I'm still shit at self-promotion, but my competition entry for the "On the Road" theme is up.

If you haven't noticed already, I tend to write stuff heavily influenced by or referencing music. Part of that is because I wish I'd stayed with or picked up an instrument when I was younger and still had the necessary time to devote to learning it. In this case, it was piano, but I wish I'd learned guitar.
Anyway, this story came to be almost exclusively while listening to Dorothy's 'Rock Is Dead' album and I'd like to recommend listening to it before reading, or after I guess. A lot to ask, yea, but in some ways I almost wrote this as an envisioned screenplay, hence all the noted musical acts or songs. [More on that, I definitely tried to write this as if Tarantino got sloppy drunk and wrote a dark ass tale of smut. A high mark to aim for, for sure, but it's part of where my inspiration came from, along with another dark indie film I won't reference so as not to spoil anything].
I've got a lot more that tie to direct scenes that aren't referenced in story, and I'll note those here is any poor souls care enough.
Disclaimer: The story IS dark. I hope that doesn't sway anyone away, but many of the elements I tried to use are designed to scrape at your discomfort.
Addendum: If you can pick out the song that isn't explicitly referenced, but SHOULD BE (after reading the story) super IRONIC, you get a cookie. It's a pretty well-known song. It's been covered many times. And one of those covers is what I had in mind while writing a particular scene the indirect reference pops in.
*Thank you to those who have already read it. I am unworthy of any of the minuscule attention my fucked up stories deserve in the first place.
it's true. he does suck at self promotion.

I'm always concerned about whether what I'm writing sounds the same. I never want to be that kind of writer, but at the same time my voice is me. It makes me pretty predictable unfortunately. There is no escaping that. I guess I'll settle for at least not being boring--that in itself is a major challenge.

One of my strengths (not just my opinion, this has been commented on by others in the past) is the ability to discover a new voice every time i write. i do try to strive to create a different style that fits the narrative of the story. perhaps this is partially to trying not to pigion-hole myself into a 'type of story'. i tend to enjoy writing everything from sci-fi to historical to hardcore pure sex stories, etc. Also, i really like to get into the head of my characters. if i'm writing Butterfly Beach, it's Olivia who is actually doing the writing. Blondie stories are written by Blondie, etc, etc. Role-playing in a sense.
the down side of this. often i will revisit a certain story or write a series, and have to recall the voice i used when writing - sometimes it's a struggle to get it just right if i've been away for a while.
as you said, Reggie, no matter how you try to step outside, the voice is you - and it does take a lot of effort to step outside yourself. my advice, try writing something you wouldn't normally write, with a voice you wouldn't normally write in, and see if that frees you up a little? maybe an inbetween story on occasion, just to shake things up.

I am seriously at a huge loss for words. I am so appreciative of all the nice things y'all have said about me but really feel undeserving. You all are being too kind. I love being here and love knowing all of you.
There are so many great members here and that is a huge factor in Lushstories.com being such a wonderful place. It is the great vision, dedication and hard work that Nicola put into this place that attracts all of you awesome people.
All I can really say is a lot of great big hugs all around.
I really look forward to seeing who all will receive this 'Awesome' Badge. There are already a lot of great candidates.
worth it just to see you blush.

Please, please don't take this the wrong way, sprite. this sounds like a really great idea. but I see you already recognize the probability that there is going to be criticism on your choices, particularly if you are to be the sole judge of who gets this award. perhaps a thread (this thread?) where you list several candidates and people vote, or even add additional nominees with a short explanation why they feel their nominee deserves the award (instead of just PMing you with names). That might take some of the pressure off you and your hate mail folder. maybe any nominees not selected could then be added to the end of your list and their names brought up again when they come back up to the top. just an idea. also, perhaps a bit more clarification of the attributes a member has that you feel qualifies them to receive it (since the award is your idea).
i think you must have missed the part where i asked people to send in their suggestions. i already have several people on the list that i wouldn't have caught myself. as for criticism, not matter what, someone is going to have sour apples and complain. i do it my way, i get complaints, i do it as a vote, people will complain it's just a popularity contest. it's impossible to please everyone, so i'm not even going to bother trying.
as for my hate folder, no worries, i deal with it just fine. be surprised what kind of stuff will get people's knickers in a twist. pretty much everything and anythings. so yeah, we're sticking with the way it's designed to run now. thanks for your inupt, tho.
btw,attributes: being awesome. the award says it all.

I don't want to whine about what these things have done to my body. I went from being fitter than most men in their twenties to substantially less within a year. I am in my mid fifties. Some things will never come back.
What I fear is twofold, leaving my family before my work is done. I made a promise and haven't done my job. Alternatively, health bills will leave my family destitute as I die a lingering death in a hospital bed - unacceptable. This has strained my marriage to the breaking point. The stupidity of the political situation just piles on. Maybe today is just another bad day.
Reading about how you have carried on gives me some hope in the face of adversity.
I haven't really shared this with too many people, thrown out some vague mentions of it here and there on the forums, but that' about it. about a year ago i started having some health issues. it took a while - a long while - to diagnose as cancer. recently i had surgery. major invasive surgery. lost a few bits, some of them important. now, i'm doing my best to recover. the thing is, i will recover. i am not terminal. that said, this has been as close to hell as i can imagine. i can't even fathom what you must be going through. i hope you find peace. i hope you find comfort - the constant physical drain is excrutiating, i am too well aware of this. i hope that coming here helps, even if it's in the smallest way. i hope you know that we are all rooting for you and that anything you need that can be given, is yours.

Just so ya'll know, there's a new thread giving Buz an honorary awesome award so go check it out. the official awards will start monday and will probably be bi-weekly after that, just so people have some time to bask in the love of the community. thanks for everyone who put out ideas here. We went with "awesome" for the badge, since it's concise and to the point, but ICE was a close contender!
thanks for Liz for designing a cool banner, btw, and for help with the badges. she's a whiz and awesome in her own right.
