A function f from X to Y is said to be 'onto' if for every y in Y there exists x in X such that f(x)=y, that is, Y is the image of X under f, or f(X)=Y.

I've worked most of my life as a writer/editor...

What struck me during my time as a Lush Mod, (a Senior Mod eventually) was how AWARE my fellow mods were about quality control in EVERY way... Very often, these were people with no practical editorial experience so it was all the more surprising that they rose to the task of editing/moderating/policing the site in such a professional manner. That continues.

The REASON for this, I feel, is that Lush moderators, (almost all of whom are accomplished writers themselves...) have an intrinsic understanding of the ETHOS of our site. Mods are, I feel, INVESTED in our site to a higher degree than more casual members. It's worth pointing out that Mods, (selected generally for above average talent and writing/editorial skills) put their own creativity on the back-burner every time they go to the submissions queue. IT COSTS TO MOD!

It can be VERY stressful in terms of advising on content, grammar, allowed practice, simple quality, etc. (While a Moderator might SCREAM in frustration at some things they see, (I did), the team approach each submitting writer with a degree of of diplomacy and understanding that can frustrate and TAX the Mod whose job it is both to encourage the writer while observing quality standards.)

I've NEVER worked with a more talented or committed bunch of professionals, ESPECIALLY since these people WERE NOT professionals until they stepped up to give something back to the site that (mostly) originally published them.

There is NO TRAINING provided to new moderators, (guidelines etc exist, and the Mod's Forum provides a source of support from the more experienced) but the ACTION of policing a submission is a huge undertaking that all mods take SO VERY SERIOUSLY. You LEARN it by DOING it.

In my time as a moderator, guidelines changed and we as mods had to adapt to the organic changes that make our site what it is, (in my opinion, the best erotic writing site source on the web.)

I'm very proud to be a part of Lush and it's the moderators who insure that the writing I post to this day is not only of a certain quality, but is also standing beside writing of at least equal and often better quality.

Though no longer a Senior Mod, I'm still involved in the site and I'm gratified to know that the team continue to bring a professionalism and talent that enable me as a writer to contribute with pride and a sense of achievement as my work is approved.

So well done, you Mods!

Sometimes when something comes real close but still misses I'll say, wow that was a cunt hair away. Would that be bordering on crass or is that still acceptable usage?

Wow... that is amazing. And yes - I suggest you win... I am curious though - what happened to the person who tried to kill him?

And... bit more curious... after the shooting, did the two of you finish? Did he at least "shoot"?

I have not entered a competition in a while, but had an idea that I thought would work. I would appreciate your taking the time to read it and perhaps letting me know what you think with a comment.

It is "Prescription for Ennui" and here is the link:

I think it would be helpful to have it specified there (instead of ten lines), I agree.

In the meantime, if anyone needs help with correct sizing for a forum signature, here is the Lush Guide with all the specs:

I'd be curious to test you both to see how accurate you are at guesstimating guys' heights.

You're making it too easy to tell a dirty joke here, young Rachel.

Quote by Dancing_Doll


Like when a guy's dick is 7 inches, they tend to round themselves up to 9 inches... it's like as long as they know it's technically bigger than average, they figure nobody will be able to tell the difference anyway.

The height thing is annoying though because girls are pretty exacting about their own height and are aware of precisely how tall they will appear in various inches of heels and platform shoes, so we kinda know what 6 feet looks like. We're usually polite enough not to call the guy out on it... well, most of the time, anyway.

I'm buying this next x-mas so that I can smell like Sprite.

And think of her in the shower.

I know this might be pretty basic, but I actually LOVE Lush products and how they work on my skin. And their certified organic and vegan products make me feel better using them too!
A couple of my favourite products from them are a). Grease Lightening: it's an acne product that works ideally under makeup and also helps remove the shiny look from those (such as me) with oily skin, and b). Lovely Jubblies: it's a boob cream that tightens your skin to make the girls look perkier ? I also use it on places I feel my skin could be tightened (like my unintentional double chin LOL). But yeah their stuff looks great and I'm always V impressed with the results.
Smell good, feel good!!
