First and foremost, make sure you read all general contest rules...and also pay attention to the rules regarding this contest in particular (there are certain words and metaphors and such not allowed for this contest).

In regards to voting, you need 10 to qualify you in the contest. Meaning once your story gains at least 10 votes, it's officially in the running, and will be judged by our super secret contest panel, the SSCP, if you will.

Also, voting is anonymous. You won't see who votes or how many votes you have (I could be wrong about how many, so maybe someone could confirm this).

That's really it in terms of voting. Good luck!

For our poetry lovers, comes a competition just for you. There's a $100 1st Prize up for grabs, and a challenging deadline of 2 weeks in which to enter.

Competition Theme:

St. Valentine's Day is celebrated on February 14 each year. It is an occasion in which lovers express their love for each other.


Writing a poem for a loved one, has always traditionally been a popular medium in which people articulate their feelings for each other.

Breaking with tradition, as we like to do, as an additional challenge to our authors, you need to show your linguistic ability by expressing the emotion of love, in a way which isn't cliche!

With that in mind, certain rules need to be adhered to:

- Poems must not use the words, "love", "rose", "stars", "ocean" or "heart".

- Poems must include the word, "Valentine".

Full details here.

On my laptop, I copy the story/poem over to notepad, then copy from there into the Lush edit box. Of course, italics and such need to be re-applied. For Mac OS, I've been told that pasting into TextEdit, pressing Cmd+Shift+T, then copying from there to Lush should also preserve spacing.

Edit: key combination corrected.

This going to sound crazy and is tedious, but if you remove all the line breaks and spaces in edit mode and then put them back where you want them it should work when you press submit.

Anything, as long as it's not a picture of your dangly bits.

Daenerys, Mother of Dragons, hands down, best character ever. EVER. EVER.

haven't read the books - my prediction for next season - someone i like is going to die in an awful way and i will learn to hate Joffrey even more than i thought possible, which happens every single time he shows up and does or says anything, or simply exists.

Quote by DoubleDs
I have caught my hubby, and he got embarassed the first time, until I told him I like watching him stroke himself and asked him continue but told him not to cum, I wanted to suck it from him. Now he does it so I will catch him and I never mind...and when I am at work he will send me little video clips of him doing it and I know when I get home it will be a good night...hell no I don't consider it cheating, no matter what he is stroking too...that would be totally hyprocrital since I do it all the time.
