i don't have children. that said... the guys a douche bag. your daughter is 19. i did a lot of dumb things when i was 19. we all did. eventually, i figured it out. when i was 19 i was on the outs with my dad. big time. but you know, when i needed him, he was still there for me, and eventually we patched things up and i'm SO glad that i had that chance, that he gave me that chance. i would have been heartbroken if he hadn't. what she did hurt you, obviously - she is going to figure that out one day, probably when you're there for her after this douche bag starts fucking some other hottie. and she'll grow up and you'll end up with a better relationship because of all this.

i used to be fearless - i'd go anywhere, anytime of day or night, never worry too much beyond what is normal, and just have fun. not sure if it makes me sad or angry, a little of both, but i lost that ability. ok, angry right now. fuck you for stealing that from me. fuck you for making me leave a cart full of groceries behind cause it was all i could do to get back to my car, lock the doors, and hyperventilate. fuck you for stealing the beautiful stars from me cause now i'm afraid to go outside and sit in the park and watch them. fuck you for taking away the moon and the silence of the night. fuck you for every panic attack i get when i am out of sight of my house and fuck you for every time i can't go out shopping by myself but have to wait until my girl comes home to take me. fuck you for the dent in my car door and the blood that, no matter how many times i have it washed, i can still see it staining the silver paint and for making me crawl in and out of the passenger door when i need to get in and out of my car and for making my girl drive my car cause some days i can't stand to see in the drive way, and fuck you for every time my heart beats so hard i am sure it will burst and for the sleepless nights and the nightmares and fuck you for everything you are and did and fuck everyone for every time they say, move on, get over it, cause if i fucking could, don't you think i would? just fuck you.

there's two kinds of quinoa - red and white - i like the red better, but it's more expensive. i find that soaking it for 5 minutes in water and draining it and rinsing it off before boiling it - 1.5 cups of cold water to 1 cup of Q (you can add a little salt if you want, like 1/4 tsp) is good - let it sit for about 5 minutes after - i have it for breakfast sometimes, like oatmeal - it's good that way!

If it's about trying to maintain the current community, then I understand. The current community likes things the way they are, so rules are in place to keep it that way. Thank you, that makes sense. However, it's presumptuous to think that the only people who are interested in stories about a particular subject are people who would really do it in real life. I'm sure people who do it in real life would likely enjoy stories about it, too, but just because somebody likes a particular fantasy, it doesn't mean they would ever consider doing it in real life. I have no actual experience running a site, but I've read comments on stories of that type before, and it never seemed any of them were all that horrible.
no, you're right, not all people interested in those subjects are going to look at them as anything beyond stroke stories. that said, as a female member of the site, i get to enjoy some salacious advances and suggestions from some of our fringe members, and bringing in a larger precentage of fringe members is going to up the quota on unwanted advances.
for the record, i've done some research, and there are some decent sites that allow the kind of stories we're talking about here... ok, one... the ones that aren't so decent, reading thru comments and such on stories, it's a eye opener - there are some scary people out there, so yes, i think that the really active members of this community, enjoy Lush for what it IS not for what it is NOT. from my POV, it's a successful site and well respected and loved by a majority of it's members - there are always people who aren't happy with the way things are, but i believe that it's a small percentage, and Nicola and the staff are very open to taking suggestions from members on how to improve the site.

I'm feeling brave.
I don't think asking about the "why" is discussing real counts of . Nor do I think the inquisitors
are seeking such material. A question is a question. Is it wrong to ask questions, regardless of how
obvious it might seem to others?
And speaking of questions...
Who can tell whether or not stories are fictitious? Just like anyone here can claim things about themselves;
just like anyone can post pictures and claim that's really them; just like someone can claim things about
their experiences, embellishing or misleading--couldn't the same can be done with the origins of stories?
Please note that I'm not trying to attack anyone or anything. I'm just curious.
this is a site for erotic fiction - it is assumed, unless stated otherwise, that all stories are fictional - occasionally there are 'true stories' published, and there is usually a tag attached stating they are true - we do NOT allow true stories to be published. period.

... No. Just because a person with authority has made a rule, that they made it is not, in itself, the reason they made it. Claiming otherwise isn't even circular reasoning, because you never got to the second thing!
Ok, you want a real answer? Here goes. There is a difference between writing a fantasy and a story. I get that. I have written a handful in fact. They are clearly fantasies and I am skilled enough to know where the line that shall never be crossed is. Here is a sample if you’d like…
http://www.lushstories.com/stories/taboo/damsels-in-distress-inc-the-hunted.aspx
Read it carefully and see how I made it consensual story.
For the record, I am a story mod. I get to read the stories that people don’t know when not to cross the line. The reluctance stories that are non-consensual stories. The bdsm and spanking stories that are thinly veiled abuse stories. You have no idea how many stories we send back.
And yeah, fun, I get to read really graphic stories already, when we already have rules in place banning them – quite honestly, if Lush was to open up the category to include (and hell, at that point why not include , under age, scat, and snuff stories) then I guarantee you, most, if not all, of your story mods would quit – so your current turn around rate of less than 24 hours would be… well, I assume eventually your stories would be published…
Oh, and think of this – if your publishing those kind of stories, you are going to attract those kinds of readers. This is more than just a story site, it’s became a community, unlike a lot of story sites. You really want what amounts to sex offenders or wanna be sex offenders roaming the chat rooms and forums, friending you, leaving posts on your wall of really vile stuff? Do you?
So, as it is, we let stories in, as long as it’s understood that they are fictional fantasies, and they are between legal aged consenting adults. That’s where the line gets drawn. I think that most of us are happy with that. The alternative would be to go backwards and instead of opening the site up to other catagories, ban stories. I think that would make a lot of people unhappy. Is that what you want? Simply slash and burn every single story from the site? Cause I guarantee you, that will happen before stories are allowed here.
And that, I hope, answers your question?

Thank you, but I'm still curious why there are so many limits in the first place. I certainly don't deny that the owners of the website may make whatever rules they wish, I'm curious why they did it, though. Except for true stories, all stories are an exploration of fantasy, of the things you wouldn't do in real life, hence writing about them. What's the purpose of these rules?
hey, answered your own question! cool!

I would like some new chatrooms, for example a bedroom, a livingroom, a dining room, an office, some kind of a forest maybe?
*nods* and a kitty room, and a fairy room, and a bathroom, and a kitchen, and an attic, and a backyard, and a porch, and a front yard, and a garage, and a secret room, and guest bedroom, and a closet (to come out of) and a hallway, and everyone should have their own room!

sometimes when i read stories as a verifier, it makes me smile that someone's put so much work into crafting a piece of art. sometimes, though, i need a shower after, and there is puking (not an exageration). please don't be the person making me puke. we have site rules for a reason - we will NEVER publish certain things - read the site rules. they're not hard to find. if you can write in English, you can read English - there's no excuse.
