asking for advice about writing

17 Nov 2020

I'm still fairly new to Lush but have published some stories and had some positive feedback. I sometimes write about real experiences, sometimes about my fantasies -often going back to when i first became sexually aware. More recently I like to mix the two. I make this clear in the headings for each story.
Mu question is - would seeing pictures of the characters involved (not necessarily in any sexual acts) be useful?

Hi there. If you wanted to add a cover image (the image that some people have at the top of the story, near the title) then that would be fine, but bear in mind that we don't allow close-ups of genitalia or hardcore sex acts or explicit images for the cover. However, if you wanted to add images to the actual text, then they can be explicit.

i am sure the answer is going to differ depending on who is answering but personally i prefer being given just enough of a description to picture the characters in my head and sort of flesh them out a bit, so to speak - i'm a big fan of less is more. so, MY answer would be, no. no pictures. smile

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

I always thought that too. But not wanting to let my spanking (what a strange word for shiny and mint from the factory) new gold membership go to waste, I've just begun to add them to my stories.

Finding an appropriate image to match the story is a great way to waste a couple of hours — and then they never really fit the bill.

When I first read the Op's post, I thought he meant he was thinking of posting actual pictures of the people in his story. God forbid!

I'm with Sprite. I like to make up my own pictures in my mind. that way the participants look exactly how I'd like them to look. while pictures are great in groups and Forum picture threads, stories should paint the picture and the reader should be able to use the words to create images.

I often see photographs of real people online that I use for character inspiration (sometimes I even describe their clothing), but my preference is to let the readers imagine them as they see fit. Did you mean something of that nature or did you mean your own drawings? (I can't draw very well.)

I did post one photo of a real-life location somewhere on this forum, but now I can't find the thread!
