"My Lady Sprite, whom I adore...

Can occasionally be a bore...

When upon a self promotion thread, where a member asks nicely to be read,
She loses her pretty head and inserts silly farce and

Generally behaves like a pain in the arse...


A piece of advice, if I might?

In the spirit of Christmas night, indeed?


Be kinder to those who ply their wares
And only wish to really share something they think other members might just like...


After all this is why this topic exists. Either enter into the spirit or desist.


It's easy to disrespect a poster trying simply just to connect,
And I don't really see why anybody should?

It's been SEEN, it's kind of mean and
It's not something that a nice person simply would."

Thing is, by posting here, i drew attention to the thread. if you think i do this stuff without thought, you'd be wrong.

I'll be QUITE HONEST, I think this is a pretty good compromise/idea... I SAY THAT knowing that BANG GOES all my carefully STOLEN FIVES!!!


("It's not REALLY a FOUR but IS IT REALLY A FIVE???")


Thankfully, we have a CREW of Story Mods who decide with THE OWNERS how to deal with suggestions like these...

The SUGGESTION as I understand goes: 1 - 1.5 - 2 - 2.5 -............................. - 4.5 - 5.


It MIGHT be a fairer system and CERTAINLY would lead to LESS all five votes...

xx SF

(The CYNIC in ME wonders if the same rules would really apply? Voters FAVOURITES still get ALL FIVE votes no matter what. I SAY THIS AS AN UNDOUBTED CASUALTY OF THAT KIND OF VOTE!!!)

My VISCERAL take on ALL OF THIS is that 'If It Ain't broke Don't Fix It...'

BUT, the ONE THING I KNOW about this site is that threads like THIS ONE are carefully looked at and discussed...


Let's wait and see???????

Steph: we need to have negative numbers, too, so i can finally vote on some of Sprite's....

Sprite: you're just jealous of my talent.

Steph: if you're talking about that thing you do where you shoot ping pong balls out of your cunt... not really.

Sprite: how about that thing i do where a smack you upside the head with a rock?

Sprite: "Your appeal has become more selective..."

Me: "Thank You?"

Sprite: "A lot more fucking selective, actually."

Me: ("Uh?")

Sprite: "Like, people don't select to read you."



I'm crap at leaving comments. problem is, i get tired of posting the same old things, sometimes - it was great, it moved me, it made me wet. I have a small corral of writers that i always read, even if it takes me a bit to get to them. Dancing Doll is one. Magical Felix, Ravenstar, Lizzy, Delphi, Echeclon, Buz are others. Steph is on that list. at his worst, he's entertaining and a fun read. at his best, which is is often at, he's brilliant. no, he doesn't advertise, but really, he shouldn't have to - if you're not reading his stuff, you're missing out. just thought i'd put that up cause i felt like it.

i came back to read this thread because i was sure the reading would be enlightening. it didn't fail... are people SERIOUSLY cybering to get votes?! is that an ACTUAL thing? that has to be one of THE most redonkulous things i've ever heard. yeesh...


if you give me 5s, baby, i'll show you a good time...
Quote by adagio_sabadicus
Unfortunately, scoring becomes a popularity contest. It's pretty obvious. I feel if a story is verified, it should be no less than 4. One doesn't have to care for it, because writers have different styles. I write because I wish to and I don't play the patronizing game for fame. What is to be had by being a Lush celebrity? Its all a matter of truth.


not true. i verify a lot of stories that i would, if i voted, rate as a 3 - average. i don't vote often, btw, for that very reason. as a mod and a fairly popular writer, my scores tend to be scrutinized - if i actually voted honestly, people would be pissed at me, so i don't *shrugs* to get a story verified, it has to be well written and follow the guidelines. it doesn't actually have to be good/imaginative/compelling.

also, as John mentioned, i have seen authors throw tantrums here if they get less than 5s. as for myself, i appreciate being read and commented on. personally, i don't really care about the scores - i already know what number the stories i turn in deserve. not all of them are 5s, and i'm okay with that - some of them are just for fun.
All the Light we Cannot See - Anthony Doerr

The Price of Salt - Patricia Highsmith

The Nightengale - Kristen Hannah

Orphan Train - Christina Baker Kline.

Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant - Anne Tyler.

Note - i actually chose these with Steph in mind - Steph? Read these.

My mind wrote them but it was the character's writing/writing style.



question - how do you get your mind to type? does it have fingers? if so, i need one of those - can i borrow yours?
Quote by sundancer2004


thank God I finally found myself and determined theres a little bit of Lesbian in me.................


yeah, i took a wrong turn and ended up in your esophagus. now, if you don't mind, i'd like to get out, please.
Quote by TheSinnerSaint


Yes, well, that probably wasn't the best passage to share out of context as an excerpt. They aren't my sentences. They are quotes taken from a fantasy that one of the characters had written down at request of her boyfriend/fiancee.

Thank you for your feedback.


so... you didn't actually write them? that's plagiarism, ya know...

Quote by daisyphoenix
As a transsexual girl the first question I always get asked if I have a penis. I always tell them truthfully that I still do have my penis, which gets them all excited.

Frankly, I'm a woman, and don't really like talking about my penis. That is why I tuck it away when I get dressed.

I'm wondering what will happen after I get surgery. Is the only thing others like about girls like me is what I have down there?


no, not everyone is like that. sorry you have to deal with questions like that. it's rude, at best, and none of their business, really.

and thus I find a typo I've missed. I'll resubmit it and the awesome Mods get back up in no time.



or i'll get it and add lots of stuff you never intended to write. watersports are always fun to slip in to unsuspecting writers stories.

She's only joking, hon.


willing to bet money on that? ;)
Quote by MonsoonMicky


You should read the previous posts on this thread. We've already established that I'm right. However, the moderators are willing to bend the rules for those who wish to use single inverted commas to indicate thought.


we do try to be flexible, with the understanding that this is, at heart, an amateur site - usually, as long as it's consistent and it's obvious while reading, we try to be lenient in most cases. In Steph's case, while he writes a little outside the box, he IS consistent and he has developed it as a style. Also, he's really stubborn about change (and a brilliant writer, although i refuse to admit that in public).

btw, don't ever feel like i'm picking on you - i actually appreciate your thoughtful comments on writing within these threads.- that's why i do try to clarify at times - I know a lot of people don't have any idea what goes on in the back room when it comes to modding - a little transparency seems like a good idea. smile

Sorry everyone, didn't mean to advertise another site, I was just trying to help the OP. I know what it's like to want to find a story and can't. Point taken though.

I find a discreetly placed coat can be beneficial. But you do need to remember to tone down the cries of "Yes, yes, oh yes, I'm cumming, I'm cumming." That goes down less well.


oh, so NOW you tell me. where were you last week when i could have used that advice?
Quote by AbigailThornton
You might be able to read Lush stories in public but apparently you're not supposed to masturbate to them. I feel this is an important point which was missed from the article.

NOBODY TOLD JAMES JOYCE OFF!

Everyone: "You DON'T LIKE JAMES JOYCE!"

Quote by Jonathans_Fantasies
Does this sound familiar?

""If I were all yours, you would still want me to dress this way around
other men...even your friends?"

That was the million-dollar question, and it had always been the
defining element of our relationship.

My very own Isla Fisher look-alike exhibitionist, Summer was pure crazy
enthusiasm. Blessed with an insatiable lust for flirty adventures, she
had wild auburn hair, a criminally sexy body, and an enchanting smile
that could melt even the coldest heart. Always ready with a kind word,
eager to share her joyous spirit, her fun-loving motor seemingly had no
redline.

I was hopelessly addicted.

We met when I was renting a place with her former boyfriend, and from
our very first moment together she loved to flirt with me. Right from
the start we established a nice little teasing relationship, then we
became lovers. Always, though, her main question centered on the issue
of whether I would really still want her to dress so sexily and be so
flirty around other men if she were mine?

Well, we were about to find out.

Having left her boyfriend to be with me, we were fortunate to find a
semi-affordable three-bedroom rental house near the beach. The thing
is, yes, we were together, but we didn't have any roommates for her to
flirt with while bopping around in her skimpy clothes. That's really
where she wanted to see if I was full of shit, since she no longer
doubted that I loved the way she dressed for going out. Clubs,
concerts, dinners? The beach, the museum, or the park? People we didn't
know? No worries. We'd done plenty of that already as a couple, so she
knew that at least where showing her off in public was concerned I'd
been telling the truth. Her issue was she wanted to find out whether...

Hope this helps!


Clears throat - we prefer it if you don't actually advertise competing story sites here. thank you.

Sprite, I understand that and you don't have to jump to the defence of Lush Stories. Nothing I have said on this thread is directed at Lush's rules or Lush's members in any way, shape or form. It's a great community, full of friendly people. I remember when I first joined and you helped me out immensely. You were more than hospitable and made me feel right at home. I would never knock this site, its rules or its members -- that's not what I'm about.

I'm just trying make people understand that writing stories about illegal acts is not illegal in itself. And I don't buy into the general consensus that extreme sex stories and violence on the TV and in books encourages people to go out and commit those acts in real life. There're lots of shitty people in the world, and those people will commit heinous acts of crime regardless as to whether they read about them or see them on TV.

Every site has rules and I respect those rules. I wouldn't want Lush to change for the world. I hope I've made myself clear on that.


no worries - i didn't take it as criticism - i was just explaining our stance so that everyone understands - i like tranparency. smile

and bewbs. you left out bewbs.
legality has nothing to do with it - it's fiction. the decision for not allowing non-consent stories was too insure that Lush is a comfortable place for everyone to visit and read. A large number of readers do have issues with consent based stories, and rather than make them feel uncomfortable, we decided to simply not allow them - also, since lush is also a social mecca of a sorts, it's not the kind of atmosphere we wish to inspire.
