I'm working on a story that spans a girls live from 8 to 18. so far 4K words of nothing sexual, just world building. we will see I'm thinking abotu scrapping the whole backstory and just starting at age 17 or 18
Be cautious about how far back you go. Lush Stories will not publish anything that involves sexual awakening before age 16.

So, what I am hearing that you and I could sit at the bar and talk about economics (and potential impacts of AI) for hours! I studied economics as an undergrad.
Grabbing a to-go cup of coffee and heading into the office. Happy Hump Day everyone!!
Bear is quite the knowledgeable conversationalist! He's more than just fur and paws!

Hi, Rumpies
Under a tornado watch in KY today. Yay! (sarcasm)
Well… crazy stuff for mirror twins. My thyroid scan revealed a suspicious nodule in exact place, opposite side, of my sisters, so now the fun begins for me.
On a good note, her surgery is over and she’s doing well. Ended up being a 5 hr surgery yesterday, more radical neck dissection, due to suspicious lymph nodes. Kudus to her surgeon for being skilled, diligent, proactive with what he was seeing.
We appreciate all the prayers and well wishes.
She’s the tough one between us for sure. I’m struggling, overwhelmed, but seeking mental health help today.
Love you all! ❤️
Hugs and prayers for both of you! Love you too! ❤️
Just stopping in for a Coke Zero. I did some modding, and it's always thirsty work! David (wtx55uk) has a new story published today, and so does a certain sassy redhead. Now it's time to spend a lil time with my honey. (And maybe read him my story later...)
Hot off the press, a new story for y'all! It's about a redhead...go figure!
Ruined By A Redhead is about a one-night stand that he'll never forget.
She said she would ruin him and she kept her promise.

That's a really nice sunset. Where I am, I can't see either rises or sets without driving 10 or 15 minutes. Too many buildings around us. But I am cruising in April so usually get to see a few sunsets that way.
I get to see sunsets most nights and I feel quite blessed. Moving to that beach helped my anxiety so much!
Not a fan of the time change, but I don't mind that the sun will set later than it has been.
Quote by KimmiBeGood
Thank you all for your well wishes!
And…
Those aren’t Kimmi’s buns. Bear. These are Kimmi’s buns!
Get ‘em while they’re hot!
YUMMMM...
Good luck to you and your twin with all that's going on. 😘
Ooh, we really enjoyed The Thursday Murder Club. Helen Mirren is fabulous!
My mood has improved significantly this morning. Could be because my man is on a plan waiting to take off and come home to me.
TGIF all y’all.
Here's an oldie, but a fun, quick read. The Matinee was my first redhead story and, while it was written 17 years ago, it's still good, naughty fun!
Have you ever been to the movies, but missed the show?
Voyeur Quote by Suburban_Housewife
I just want to step inside, perch my ass on a barstool, order a cocktail, and wait for a man to come talk to me.
Welcome Susan! We have lots of fun characters in this bar. 😎
Had a magical weekend celebrating my youngest's 30th birthday. Her hubby, my hubby, and I pulled off an amazing bunch of surprises, and we managed to fit as much as possible into their short visit. Much food, wine, and dessert were consumed! LOL. It left me feeling joyful.
Back to reality today. The kids went home, and my man is traveling again this week for work. But the good news is, the weather is warmer (finally), and it looks like a good afternoon to swim!
I'm working on a new story this week. Not sure if it will be ready to publish sooner or later. I do have some other irons in the fire as well. Now, I'll grab a Coke Zero and head back to my little corner and do some more modding. 😊

My thinking around MM/MLM continues to progress (and what a beautiful take you had on it, techgoddess).
Many thanks! I am really excited that it has been so well-received. I can't thank you enough for your kind words about my story.
Quote by Seeker4
It is!!
Good afternoon. Weather is nice, my mood is on an even keel, work is happening. What more could I ask than a glass of Pinot Noir.
I think I will join Ape in a glass of wine, but make mine Moscato, please, and thanks!
The weather has been foggy and rainy all day here, but I'm in a great mood. My story, Sunset Grill, is getting some great comments (even from some straight guys), and my girl and her hubby are on their way here to celebrate her birthday with us. (How the fuck is my baby turning 30? I have no idea, but we are ready for a great time!
Cake is made
The song is written
Gifts are wrapped
The house is decorated
All we need is the birthday girl! 3 more hours!! Woo hoo! (It's been over a year since she's been home... we have either gone to her house or met up with her somewhere else, so this is making my heart really happy!) 🎂😊❤️
Quote by fuzzy1954
Thanks!!
Best add a Mr Ape and why not a sexy HOT REDhead!!
😃
Did someone say they needed a REDHEAD?😉
Having finally finished my gay male story, which has been well received, I’m working on a few other categories as I chase Double Omnium. I have a Steampunk story, an Outdoor story, and a few others started.
Besides those, I another set of chapters for Mac and Grace, a HWH story, and even an additional part to The Office Whore all in various stages of completion.
Now, I just have to find time to finish something. 😉🤪
Quote by Mandapanda2025
I had that fear when I edited a published story to add the series mechanism. Fortunately, that did not trigger the review process.
Fortunately, you can add a series without needing reapproval. 😎
It's been a while since I've written anything this long. But to get the story right, I needed time to give the characters a chance to get to know each other and for the relationship to have a slow, realistic build-up. Above all else, this is a love story. I hope readers won't be tempted to skip this one because of its length and/or genre. The comments so far have been amazing. I'm proud to share this stand-alone story with you. Please enjoy Sunset Grill.

Gay Male Quote by KimmiBeGood
Twin big fun today!
She’s let her hair go white-gray. I told her I’m not ready yet…
Shhhh don’t tell her that I said this, but you look younger. My sister did the same thing and though we are 5 years apart, the gap looks much larger since I refuse to let my hair go white. (As a redhead, my roots are white, not gray). I don’t know if I will ever be ready. lol
Love the sunshine for both of you. It’s been chilly here at my beach. Hope you are having better weather. 🥳🥳
Quote by Meagananne1986
Worn out by repeated use over time, or overstressed beyond design specifications in the moment of passion? Either one is good, but exceptionally good if the latter.
A little bit of both? 😘

We know who is using AI and who isn't.
Kinda like Santa Claus, we know who is naughty and who is nice. 😉🎅🏼
As someone whose brother is in a wheelchair, it never ceases to amaze me how inaccessible the world can be for people with mobility issues. Bless you for all you have done to change that in your space. 😘🥰
Tomorrow is the big fundraiser for cancer research that I’ve been working on with a group of amazing colleagues. Looking forward to a successful evening! We have a bigger venue this year and there will be more people.
No gym today. 😎 Maybe I will actually have time to finish a longer story. 🥰
TGIF all y’all 💋
Quote by Elisa_J_Vaughs
Is having a story locked by a mod for a week considered “normal”? The message on the users end leads one to believe it’s being reviewed currently. For a 2-3k word story, 7 days to review it seems rather excessive after it’s supposedly made “progress”. It’d be one thing if it could be pulled back by the contributor. But being locked out of your work for 7 days with zero update or movement is incredibly frustrating and doesn’t seem right.
I'm confused. You don't have a story waiting in the queue. Did I miss something?
Quote by MissVixen
This I try not to do. I did when I changed the cover graphic for Battle Born, but new story I wait a few days.
And it is much appreciated. ❤️

Hi, Rumpies
Headed on Twins Gone Wild trip in the morning. Got my head back in a good space. Dad’s beyond sad and in particular his loss of control of bodily functions is hard on everyone. Just gotta stay strong for him. It helped me writing and publishing on SS about us. Helped me come to terms with us never being able to have the close relationship I had with Mom.
Anyways, enjoy rest of the Month of Love!
Writing contest in SS runs through St Patty’s Day, if interested. An eclectic bunch of entries so far!
Love you all! See ya in March.
Please feed and pet Butters while I’m away.
And play with the toys in Storeroom 4.
Have a blast!❤️
Quote by Hughtheman
While I'm trying to keep in mind that mods have lives outside of Lush, it can admittedly be annoying when you hear about stories that were submitted after yours being published before.
Sometimes this occurs when we are trying to give other authors a chance to have their stories seen. It's frustrating and annoying to approve a story, only for that author to submit the next one 12 minutes later. Jen has made it clear that the queue is consistently full and verification times will take longer.
Quote by DousedInGasoline
Also-this is not helpful feedback in any shape or form, and misses addressing the points i made.
But, as a site administrator, you do make an excellent point. My only option is to delete. There is no “contact mod option”, no “recall option”, no “support” option. It truly, in your own words, makes no sense.
It makes no sense to lock down a story with no intent to mod it for an entire week.
I have authors reach out to me all the time to inquire about the progress of their story, if it is locked, and if it seems to be taking a long time, even if I am not the mod who has their story locked.
There is a link to the mods at the bottom of the front page called Meet the Team. You could certainly reach out to any story mod at any time.
