I assume you're talking about Eric Garner's widow? Or maybe Amadou Diallo's? Or Akai Gurley's? Or do you want to spread it out a little, and include the other 50 states? List is going to get very long, if you do....

Mothers, fathers, spouses, children.

Derek when would you like to stop comparing apples to oranges? Do you know about my nation's history of failed prohibitions? (alcohol, drugs, illegal aliens?) When did your country come to have the population mine does? Let alone the inner city drugs and gangs counter culture to the same extent. Are you aware of how easy it is to "home make" firearms? Just as it was the alcohol that our FAILED 19th Amendment only served to make organized crime wealthy and powerful? how many times have the punks in your country killed cops, much less unarmed fellow citizens?


In 'Murica, punks don't kill cops. Cops kill punks. And unarmed citizens.

Yes!
We had a restaurant in Melbourne when I was younger called, Death by Chocolate. They only served chocolate related meals for entree, main and desert.

Needless to say I couldn't look at chocolate for a month after eating there.



I went to a basketball game, college, back when I was younger with some friends. For halftime they had a chocolate mousse eating contest - I hadn't been eating a lot of square meals back then, and figured, ooo - free food plus... CHOCOLATE. I volunteered. I was sick the entire next day. Never much cared for chocolate mousse after that...

I think it matters. How can a male describe a female orgasm. Thankyou for your question


I will write from a male perspective from time to time - I've been with enough guys to have a good idea about what an make orgasm looks like, sounds like, feels like to create a believable scene. Really, if you need help, just ask a girl to describe an orgasm, or read the description of an orgasm in a story penned by a female writer, then put it into your own words - any good writer should be able to take an experience, even one they've never experienced before, and make the reader buy into it - I mean, people write about dragons and orcs and elves and all that without having experienced any of them in reality. Just use your imagination.

felt every dialog.. and tension btw them


exactly - you want to create the mood, otherwise it's just words describing sex. In fact, the less you write about the actual sex, the better. Really, if you distill it down to it's essences, most sex scenes would read like this: He put his penis in her vagina over and over, faster and faster, until they both came. To breath life into your story, you need to concentrate on what is going on within your characters as much, if not more, than what they are physically doing.

I could just as easily written the scene thus - it's the same exact scene, in essence. All the facts remain, only thing I've removed are the parts that make the characters breathe.


“Do you trust me?” she asked.

“Of course I do. Why would you even ask?” I answered.

She gave my ass a quick squeeze and was rewarded with a sharp intake of breath.

“You make me want to do bad things to you, baby.”

“I like it when you do bad things to me, Mrs. Vandermeer.”

She smiled wickedly, her gaze holding mine as I rubbed my wet pussy against her thigh and moaned. She kissed me on the nose, and shook her head before pushing herself away from me. I watched her retrieve her black lace bra from the dresser and slip her arms into the straps.

“Baby, why do I keep coming back to you? Anyone finds out, my career is toast.”

“Because your husband doesn’t let you do this, Abby.”

I rolled away from her so that she could get a good look at my ass. It was bright red from the paddling she’d given me. With my forearms bound tightly together behind my back, it took some effort.

Sure, be happy to. Since you write in the bdsm category, here's a bdsm story, or at least the beginning of one - what's important are capturing the essence of the character - once you have someone hooked on the characters themselves, the story will feel real to them. If you can carry that from start to finish, you will have your reader hanging on every word...

---

“Do you trust me?” she asked, and I’d answered without thinking, my words followed with a soft kiss, my body tingling all over as she pulled me closer, her tongue slipping easily between my lips.

“Of course I do. Why would you even ask?” I answered breathlessly, feeling the welcome warmth of desire kissing the insides of my thighs. She gave my ass a quick squeeze and was rewarded with a sharp intake of breath.

“You make me want to do bad things to you, baby.”

“I like it when you do bad things to me, Mrs. Vandermeer.”

She smiled wickedly, her gaze holding mine as I trembled against her, rubbing my wet pussy against her thigh and letting out a fevered moan of desire. She kissed me playfully on the nose, and shook her head before pushing herself away from me. Helplessly I watched her retrieve her black lace bra from the dresser and slip her arms into the straps.

She hadn’t really given me an answer, but I hadn’t really expected one. Abby was good at not giving answers. You might even say she was a professional. It came with the territory. She was a Professor at a prestigious university, teaching courses in political science. Up until now, she’d done all the right things. Gone to the best schools, graduated at the top of her class, met all the right people and kept her reputation above reproach. She’d married into money and given birth to two perfect, blonde, blue eyed, kids, just like her... And then she’d met me.

I was her Achilles’ heel she’d tell me from time to time. Usually it was while putting her clothes back on, like right now. I lay on the sheets, just watching her dress, my naked body covered with our perspiration and cum, a satisfied smile glowing on my face as she’d pause, a rare haunted look in her clear blue eyes.

“Baby,” (She always called me baby, never used my real name, Shannon. Okay, that’s not totally true. There were other names she called me in the throes of passion. Her dirty little whore, her slut, her fuck doll, but afterwards, it was always ‘baby’.) “Why do I keep coming back to you? Anyone finds out, my career is toast.”

“Because your husband doesn’t let you do this, Abby.”

Wincing softly, I rolled away from her so that she could get a good look at my ass. It was bright red from the paddling she’d given me. I could still feel the heat in my tender flesh spreading down my thighs and translating in my pussy as pleasure as I did my best to point at my cherry red cheeks. With my forearms bound tightly together behind my back, it took some effort.

Hello one and all, I am aspiring writer, among other things. I would like to get some feedback and if you would also rate my stories after you read them id be great full (if its a 5, haha just kidding) but on a serious note im looking for any helpful hints you may have for me. also please send me a friends request after you read. I will accept pretty much everyone.


If you're serious about the helpful hints, you really should think about fleshing out your stories - they're pretty short, and there's not a lot of depth to them - I don't feel like I'm given the chance to get immersed in them. Try working on creating a world rather then just banging them off quickly. smile

Plus a great majority of writers (and readers) here don't like forced commenting.


personally, I hate it - when I read a story, I usually leave a comment before voting and then, suddenly, I find I'm forced to leave another comment - at that point, i move on and don't bother voting. silly

A friend of mine recently wrote a story here that in my opinion was dull, overly-drawn out and basically average. It's a Recommended Read has dozens of 5 votes and just as many effusively praising comments. Should I criticise it? Even privately? What would it achieve? I know she's tough enough to take what I say at face value and I'm pretty sure she wouldn't drop me because of it but why put myself through that. Being in the minority though doesn't make you wrong.

To answer your question the RR system is there to do just that. The mods are meant to be of a decent level and therefore capable of knowing of what's good or bad. The only danger is that it encourages a writing bubble where certain writing styles will take over at the expense of things that are perhaps less "Lush".

I personally think poems need to be removed from the RRs - or maybe better separated (RPs?) - they make up more the half of the recommendations here but we all know the vast majority of people do not come here to read poems. Why are poems being promoted when so few want to read them?


I kind of like this suggestion. I'll bring it up - thanks. smile

But treating members unfairly because of our personal feelings towards them is unacceptable and is grounds for dismissal from the team. Ask Nicola if you doubt me.


*nods* We have removed mods in the past for over-stepping. It's not a thing I like to see happen, but It has to be done occasionally. We might not get paid, but we are professional.

OK

Having joined the thread at pg79..please all bare this in mind

I am sure at some point its been said before but i think the score system should be better. The one scoring if its a low score should give a reason why? If they have a consistency of doing so then investigated as to why especially if other members disagree and like the stories/poems.

Hey Balthazor



I think that most would agree that the scoring system needs an overhaul - it has been discussed before, and probably will again - how/if it will be changed is not certain, but I think it does need to be changed as well.

I remember the day Lush made it known all category had been taken down and the category no longer existed. I remember some of the disgusting, rude and/or abusive posts just on that thread so I can't imagine what it must have been like for mods to deal with behind the scenes.

Sprite, so many of is here know what you guys do for the site is a prick of a thing to have to do. To have to make shitty decisions nobody would want to make KNOWING you're never going to please everyone and sit back and wait for the fallout. Not to mention having to deal with members sniping at each other on the forums. I would like to thank the mods for doing this even though they don't have to.

I'm going to say something and I'm trying to say it in the most respectful way I can. I've seen this happen to others as well as myself. Someone will post an idea of some sort for the site, a suggestion or some feedback. There is a good chance it's going to be a suggestion or feedback that has already been discussed by lush mods and dealt with and the matter closed. WE don't know that. I don't post these things on the forums for a bit of fun. It was something I felt strongly about. I'm not to know what has gone on behind the scenes.

I can't speak for anybody else but several times I've made a suggestion or given feedback using the forums and it felt to ME that one or more of the mods come out swinging immediately. To defend a decision the mods have made, and how difficult it was to make and all the shitty mail you received because of it. I/WE don't and can't know that so when one of you posts a response that makes ME feel that what I initially said was a silly idea that mods had already spent a lot of time dealing with and that you are tired of dealing with it, it makes ME feel as though I shouldn't have posted at all. I don't know some of these things have already been a boil on the butts of mods everywhere.

Mods are always going to have a shitty job to do and there are always going to be lush members with feedback or new ideas. Whether those ideas/feedback are something that has been discussed by the mods of lush is something we don't know. How can we? I can only speak for myself but I am seriously at the point that I won't bother posting anything in this thread again because I feel I'll get shut down straight away by a moderator who is tired of talking about whatever suggestion it is that I have put my opinion forward on.

If I may be blunt, I would like to say that more often than not, some of the mods sound just plain cranky all the time. I acknowledge it has gotta be a difficult thing to volunteer to do for lush. People like me are just small fry trying to help by telling you what we think.

I appreciate that feedback is taken into consideration when you have to make a decision regarding something or other. In this case the top 10 issue I put forward. If you had posted that in your first response Rachel I wouldn't have felt like i had said something ridiculous to begin with.

Thanks for coming back to reply to me again. I really do appreciate it. Lisa xx. What are you doing here on this thread anyway? I thought you did the smart thing and quit? silly


I highlighted a few things here, that should be noted. Not trying to be snarky, but really, I know what my mods do and what i do here. I know that some of them spend as much time modding as some people put into working. i know that some of us are on call beyond the job of simply modding stories. fyi, another thing that is getting thrown around is a 'get to know your mods' interview thread - so you can get to know some of the people behind the scenes and get a feel for what it is like to be a mod - yes, there are times when i know some of us come off as cranky or snarky, and we really should be more careful about that, but you also have to understand that, when you put a lot of effort into helping people and they some off as ungrateful - and please, i am not pointing fingers, that's a general comment - it's human nature to get a little cranky.

I love what i do - everyone on the team is pretty much on the same page, but it is hard work, it's not at all fun and games, and it does wear on you at times. for example, i'm a story mod - that's my job here. i am sure you probably have a good idea about how often i put on a different hat and deal with issues in the forum, or personal issues, etc. my 'fun time' at lush is a very small window of how much time i actually spend here, and even when i am having fun, i usually have several tabs open where i am 'working'. that's changed, recently, since i have taken a break to further my education, ie, i'm going to college full time and not doing any work *snorts, rolls eyes* here. smile

Wow, now you have made a forum post about this. You really are something else. I mean you certainly have your own opinion about my work and I thanked you kindly for your score of your 2 it is your opinion to give me that. It is your RIGHT to give me WHATEVER YOU WANT TO GIVE ME. It is also my right on MY POEM TO RESPOND TO YOU.

Here is what you said on my poem. And I have every right to comment on my poem back to you. This is what you said:

You'd be better off producing less work but making them all of a higher standard. Most school children could choose more imaginative descriptive words than you have done here.


This is what I said back:

I have 2 million views to my stories and poems. So I would guess that lots of people enjoy my work. I can't wait to see what you post here. Funny, I remember that you did write a poem that I gave you a 5 on. I see that you now hid your work. I guess you don't want to get a 2 back on the 2 you gave me. You can't respond to me as I have blocked you. Insulting people really isn't going to get you very far here. I am hoping you got off on the 2 you gave me. Because you probably are the kind of man that loves an audience. I bet your a very small man with a small dick. That is my guess. Happy lushing...and thanks again for the lovely score of a 2. xoxooxxo




I mean if you are going to GIVE A 1 OR A 2....YOU MIGHT GET SOME FLACK FOR IT.

I really hope you will put this to bed AS I AM A BIT TIRED OF IT....


Happy Lushing...

I'll add that I have discovered that this restriction doesn't apply to Gold members. That's why you'll occasionally see a room with more than 25 members (unless there's a chat mod in there, as the restriction doesn't apply to them either for obvious reasons).

My post wasn't the first or the last on the subject in this thread. My post was NOT taking "jabs", and I don't see how it could be taken that way. I took a lot of time and tried to word that post very carefully and respectfully. It was an opinion. I'm allowed to have one of those. I did not aim my post at any one person, nor the writers of the stories. (thank you Mysteria), OR the mods stance on the subject.

I don't like them. I dont read them. But it bothered me that there were six of them in the top 10 because in my opinion only, I don't think that makes lush look very good. Again, my opinion. I'm sorry if my opinion offended anyone. I'm also sorry if my opinion made you feel that you didn't have a choice of whether to take a break from your vacation to post an explanation but thanks for doing so Sprite. You can all breathe a sigh of relief because I won't bother again. It's plainly obvious my 2cents worth isn't worth even 2 cents. It is apparent I wasted my time, once again, trying to give lush some feedback. I didn't write that post just to annoy anyone. It is something I felt strongly about. Again, thank you Sprite.


your post was one of many on the subject - i was taking into account the other posts that you quoted. everyone's two cents is worth exactly that, two cents - mine included. that includes all the angry hate filled PMs received when we closed the catagory, and all the ones we get allowing step-relative stories. not saying yours is one of those, but frankly, i'm tired of the subject. it is how it is - people can have any opinion they wish, and voice them - just understand that it's not going to change anything on this particular issue.

for the record, we've been working on a modification to how the top 10 works for some time now - it's going to change in the near future to reflect things a little differently - we're still working it out, so i'm not going to say how, but yeah, we DO take this stuff into account and changes DO happen based on reader feed back.

Lush culture. I happen to agree with you, Mr Mark. If you look at the way things are set up, most stories should get 3s and 4s here, and 5s should be given out sparingly - the culture here, however, has grown up so that people are actually pissed if you given them 4s. 3s are practically insulting - a lot of readers are now like me - i won't score an a story unless it's truly excellent - it's too much of a pain to give out an honest score -3 IS average, after all, but you hand those out, you get hate mail and revenge scoring. if i'm honest, the scoring system here is broken - it's more of a feel good thing - that said, it's not going to change - it's not something that can be "fixed" - it's just how the site has evolved. we're a lot nicer than most sites who are really brutal - given the choice, i'd rather be nice - if you've ever published a story on a competitors site and actually gotten death threats because they didn't like the subject, you'd understand that statement.

so, in a nutshell, if you're going to be honest, i applaud you - i will also warn you that you're going to get flak for it.

This thing is still bothering me. I really do understand the moderators don't have time to be reading stories and trying to decide where the line is drawn on each story. I really do understand that, and I wouldn't have liked to be one of the people having to decide where to draw the line on this subject. I commend the moderators for the job they do and I know it can't be easy. I'm in no way slamming the decisions you make.

As poppet said, a lot of us, including me were really happy that Lush made a decision not to publish anymore stories and deleted what stories were already here. I've never heard or read "degrees of " It either is or it isn't . In Australia it is not legal between step-siblings where they are blood relatives or are related by adoption.

It saddens me that the category is thinly veiled as and the usage of 'step' relative is ok. "technically" it is not where they are not blood relatives, but come on, the drawcards here are the words sister, brother, mother, father. The reader also doesn't know they are not blood relatives until they are already into the story. It also bothers me that no less than 6 ' ' stories out of the top 10 on the home page this morning were about step-relatives. One even has "sibling love - the aftermath after my sin" as part of the title. Also "A step-mothers Sin - chapters 2, 3 and 4" in the same top 10 top stories.

I don't know what anybody else thinks, but that kinda creeps me out. If it was a couple of my relatives, I'd be appalled if I found out my step brother and step sister were having sex with each other. Wouldn't you?

Is Lush going to get to the point where the most popular stories here and the whole of the top 10 stories and poems are going to be ' ' stories about step families? It's over the half way mark now. Is that what Lush wants to be known for? That would be a damn shame because Lush is an amazing site. There is no other adult website like it.

Just my Thanks for reading.




What I hope is the final word on this subject:

A lot of thought was put into dropping the catagory - there are a lot of reasons why it no longer exists, at the top of them, the legality of - you've noticed that most the subjects we don't allow are illegal - , , snuff, and . That was the primary reason for it. Yes, doing away with it made a small minority happy. the truth is, a much larger percentage of the population wasn't at all pleased. Frankly, it was a big risk for the site, one that could have, potentially, forced it to shut down. That's not hyperbole, btw. You really have zero idea to how close we came to shutting the doors in the aftermath that followed. Thankfully it's once again a thriving hot bed of erotica - what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger. smile

It's as simple as this. The legality of relationships between step-relatives is why we allow it. we are staying within legal bounds. That it allows people to read and write stories that aren't to the liking of some of you, well, I wish we could please all the people all the time, but it's as simple as this - this is how it's going to stay as long as Lush exists under the current ownership. To most of you it's an amazing site that covers a lot of bases - the best erotica on the internets as well as a vibrant social network/community.

That all said, it's a labor of love for a select few, and for one, it's a vehicle that needs to be kept running, which isn't cheap. This isn't some sort of cash cow. It's a vision that one woman had, and god love her, she keeps it going and improving on it year after year - I don't really know how. Last time she was here I caught her going through the sofa cushions for loose change, muttering something about servers... Yes, she's given members a lot of input into the direction the site has gone, but in the end, it's her call, and she needs to do what is best for the site as a whole.

And really, don't even get me started on the discussions we've had on where to draw the line within stories on what is and what isn't incesty. The fights were knock down drag out affairs at times. In the end, we simplified it to how it stands now. I do understand your POV, but honestly, as someone remarked recently - these are no longer suggestions, they are simply jabs - please, no more jabs. We get it loud and clear. now, to make it clear for you, learn to live with it the way it is. it's not going to change.
