it's called Lush Stories, not Lush Porn. it's a site for erotic stories. that word is important to me. stories. not scenes, not porn. stories. that's, obviously, just me, but yeah, i like plot, i like character, i like tales. it's hard for me to get into something, no matter how hot, if i don't have a good feel for the characters involved.
Kristin is just an all around great human being. smile

DAMN! Daisy, when I got that score of ONE, you did tell me it was because some door handle got jealous about my fabulous story! What am I gonna blame if I ever get another one?


you can blame me - in fact, i'll go do it right now - no need to thank me, i'm nice like that biggrin

I got a rush of 4s that dropped my story from a 4.9 to a 4.45 in the span of a day. All by anonymous guests. Wish I had known about the "members only voting" before.

That kinda sucks.

I guess it doesn't really matter in the long run though since I do have that RR.

Still.RIgCM5pMM3MknFZ7


yeah, those will probably disappear too, i'm guessing. not the RR, the 4s! lol - the RR is yours for life (as long as you don't piss me off and i go off the deep end and get all power crazy on you and shit) biggrin
For the record, despite this being a purposefully malicious vote bombing, 4 is NOT a low score, so please, don't think we're going to go policing the site for scores that are average to good; 3s and 4s that are legitimate. as you can see, we have plenty to do already.

this has been a public service announcement from your friendly neighborhood sprite. smile
Quote by Shylass
And there was me thinking that all low scores meant that other authors were simply so jealous of my wonderful turn of phrase, willy-stiffening punctuation, and sparkling wit, that they bombed in spiteful revenge. I refuse to believe it's truth or illness!




Dammit.



that was just me, Daisy. sorry. i went a little mental. try not to let it happen again. smile

I'm looking forward to Scandal. I'm not much of a TV buff. That new Sleepy Hollow show looks good. That's all I got.


what about Ebb and Flo? i bet they're excited for something this season!
Quote by kaikai012
The never ending Vampire Diaries, Elementary, Arrow, American Horror Story (Coven), Blue Bloods, Criminal Minds,Person of Interest, oh yeah and Grimm.


i need to Netflix Grimm and American Horror Story some day - everyone tells me that they're both my kind of shows. one day...

I mean...it's fucking Nathan Fillion!

And Lucy Lui as a sexy Watson. I mean. C'mon.

But seriously, the dude that plays Sherlock. Fucking hilariously awesome.


-----------
Can't wait for Castle though. Seriously. Stana Katic. Wow.


huge firefly fan, so yeah, Captain Tight Pants Fillion was a huge draw.

and that's Johnny Lee Miller playing Sherlock - he's amazing, right? AND he's also an amazing guy off the screen. pretty much the whole package - i gave my wife permission to cheat on me with him if she ever gets the chance. smile
Quote by MadMartigan

And shows I already watch.

Castle

Elementary



i knew i loved you from afar for a reason. smile
as for returning shows...

Castle, which is always fun.

Elementary which is amazing, and anyone NOT watching it is depriving themself of THE best show on TV

Once upon a time.

sadly, gotta wait til xmas for Doctor Who and next year for Orphan Black. sad

btw, anyone else watching Broadchurch? omg, it's been amazing! two more episodes to go!
i have my tom boy moments. for example, i have my own tool box, i do a lot of the home repairs, putting up shelves, building IKEA furniture and stuff. oh, and i can throw a ball as well as any guy, better than some. i also like to hike, and not afraid to get a little dirty, and i drive a pick-up truck. smile that said, i can also do ultra feminine like nobody's business when i'm feeling girly.

oh, i should add that, theoretically, i could probably take a lot of you guys in a fight (not saying it would be a fair fight, btw).

Sunday Night Football, Monday Night Football, Thursday Night College Football.

(Friday night, all day Saturday & Sunday afternoon I attend football live and in person!)


and thus was my faith in mankind crushed once again... *sighs*
looking thru the new shows, we usually pick a couple to try out... our list

Agents of SHIELD - i mean, seriously, no brainer!

Sleepy Hollow - watched the first episode, it was enjoyable, willing to watch some more.

Once Upon a Time in Wonderland - i mean, come one, if you know me, you know this is a must!

What's on YOUR list? smile

oh, probably also check out the Micheal J Fox show just cause of the story surrounding him - i hope it does well, even if we don't end up watching it - it's kind of a brave and inspiring thing!
in a committed relationship, don't got a man, got a woman. it varies, sometimes i do, sometimes we do - we take turns or do it together. it's actually kind of fun doing it together, honestly. smile

Don't drag me into this Missy Her Royal Beautiful Spriteness with Beautiful Blonde Hair.... *curtsy's* (sp?)

You wandered aimlessly around the forums and found this thread on your own!

Oh I see how it is! give Trinks the flick and zone in on Lizzy! Well I'm sorry Spritey, Liz and I are busy!


it's true, though. she sent me naughty pictures and everything.
i send naked pictures of Liz to lots of people not on lush... oh, of me? umm... my wife gets the occasional pic, yeah...
Quote by SensualRose



Thank you and yes it does ....kinda smile
Seems you have a great spouse that is very understanding and lovingheart

I still don't see how a sub can be truly 100% submissive to their Dom with a spouse at home or how a Dom can truly be a Dom when their sub has a husband or wife. Or vice versa so I am thinking that maybe the BEST Dom/sub relationship is with spouses or single Dom/subs ...not saying yours or others aren't special I am just thinking that to truly experience the full pleasure and happiness and love of a bdsm relationship both shouldn't be committed to others. Its just my own opinion and I have never experience it myself, I just have seen a lot of them with spouses involved. I hope I haven't offended you or anyone in my opinion or question ...thank you so much for answering :)


hmm... as the the 100%, when we were together online, it was always 100%. and sometimes that would bleed into off line stuff, if there was some sort of 'an assignment' but normally, no. when i signed off, Sprite the sub sort of got put away and 'normal' life resumed. in all honesty, my wife and i tried doing the Domme/sub thing at one point in our relationship, and the concept of doing it 24/7 100% is just a little beyond me. i know some do, but i just can't wrap my head around being in that place every moment of every day.

i would have to agree that we're unique in this, i think, and that yes, it's probably best if it's two single people - the commitment level would probably be higher. also, i'd have to assume that some who do this and are married do NOT tell their significant others and do so in secret?

oh, and don't even trip about offending me. i like good discussion. :)
Trinket dragged me into this... apparently she's hot for me, which i understand. *clear throat, looks at all the 'offerings, zeros in on Liz* is that a strap on in your leather trousers, or are you just happy to see me?

seriously, i'm married. i don't know HOW to flirt anymore.
Quote by Dudealicious


If you're presuming, why answer seeing as you don't know?


so, we're only able to answer if we're certain we have the ultimate defining answer? Damn. too much pressure. thanks for putting me in my place, dude. smile

ok, that out of the way...

i'm married to a wonderful woman. before we were married, i had an online Mistress for close to 2 years. it was something that we discussed as a couple and she was ok with as long as i kept her in the loop with what was going on. it allowed me to get a side of me out in a safe enviornment with someone we both trusted and felt comfortable with that went beyond the boundries of what she was/is comfortable with.

would i have done this without her knowledge as well as her permission? no. would i have stopped if she'd asked? yes. am i glad she never did? yes. the thing is, my Mistress was respectful of my RL relationship and knew that, ultimately, it came first - in other words, she did what any GOOD Domme would do - looked out for her sub's best interests. we remain friends - in fact, she's one of my best friends on Lush.

hope that gives you a little insight?

I want my Liz Badge!


i have one - it's in a special place, tho, where not everyone can see it...
Quote by Autumn17
I no longer have a commentator badge, no big deal. It looks like everyone else's is gone as well.


good eye, Autumn, mine is gone as well - looks like a glitch... GAV! get your stormtroopered butt over here on the double! badges is important! *gets out the light saber and goes a-hunting for our resident techy*
Book marks this thread for later, having had a LOT of experience on the subject and needing to go make dinner and do stuff - promise to get back to it later - as SWW says, an excellent question.

I know someone with over 1,000 - she's a feisty one

Trying to retro fit these kind of limits is always going to be hard *sigh*

Reducing the amount of activity displayed isn’t going to help. In order to show the most recent activity we need to aggregate the activity of ALL friends then slice the top records.

Perhaps 200 was a little optimistic  Maybe a cap that would not affect any of our current users but would at least give an upper bounds and deterministic performance. I think 1000 is reasonable.

I bet there isn’t a social site out there that has unlimited friends. Facebook has 5,000 but they have 180k servers and thousands of programmers





umm... lol - i DO feel for you Gav, but yeah, seriously, i passed teh 1000 mark a long time ago. i'd be happy to weed it down to that, but still, you're killing me here! smile would it help if i sent you more photos? i have some of me with a light saber. that's it, just me and a light saber. and a smile. :)

Having Grooveshark play automatically when you visit your profile is just downright rude IMO. I wish there was a setting on here to block it completely.



that one annoys me as well, since i usually have my own music playing when i'm cruising lush and it's jarring to have something else suddenly playing over the top of it.
