Who doesn’t love a good crime thriller? The mystery and intrigue. The suspects. The alibis. The thrill of danger often goes hand in hand with sex, as adrenaline spikes.

We want to read stories which start with some sort of crime, or the immediate aftermath of a crime, and go on to reveal over the course of the story, just who did it. Who done it. Fine, whodunnit (and that will be the one and only time Lush will encourage the use of bad grammar).

To give you room for plot, plus a whole lot of sexy action, the word limit on this one is 10,000, however stories can be in any category, other than micro or poetry.

Crimes of passion are of course allowed, however usual Lush rules apply. No snuff stories, no death during sex, no non-consent, and violence shouldn’t be too extreme.

We'll keep this one running until mid November to give folks time to get stuck in.
