Reading it back now, is there anything you would change if you were to re-submit it?
How do you feel your writing has developed since then (if at all)?
I'm just nosy.

Quote by principessa
Before my first solo story I wrote a long series of stories with another Lushie. This first effort was called "Stacey's Choice". The idea for the story came to me thinking about being out and about after a long winter. June days are beautiful in my city, lovelier than the humid heat that comes later in the summer. The days are warm and clear, the sky blue, the parks lush and there are flowers on lampposts and lining sidewalk cafes. I also thought about the vibrancy of the south of France and its colours as reflected in its art. The main character was (I hope) an interesting woman who, like me, had many contradictions. She meets someone by chance and the story unfolds.
I was happy with the story then and would not change it now. It was a debut with some expectations as I was a story moderator then and fairly demanding with others' work. I was relieved that it was well received.

I think it was Band Camp. I'm too lazy to go back and check. I love that story. It's still one of my favorites. I wouldn't change a thing, unless I missed a comma or something.
My writing has evidently developed according to the mods' estimation. My first 25 stories here never earned a single RR, then mysteriously, my latest 5 stories have all gotten RR's or an EP one after the other. Why none of my older masterpieces ever won anything is a complete mystery to me. Go back and read my earlier stuff, mods and modettes! You might find some gems you missed the first time around!

It is far, far better to miss a comma than to miss a period!![]()
My first story "published" here is Two Dozen Strawberries (shameless link/plug follows) which I wrote a few years ago. It may also be my favorite because it is pretty much a true story, although I put thoughts into my then girlfriend Alice's head. But we were pretty much in sync all the time (much, much more in sync than she and her husband ever were) so I am pretty sure I got her thoughts right. I'm damn sure I won't be asking her, in any event! I did change the cover picture once, but nothing else.https://www.lushstories.com/stories/lesbian/two-dozen-strawberries-1.aspx
Don't believe everything that you read.

Authors, what was your first erotic story or poem you had published here?

I've developed a deliberately choppy style which I now use for stories which will be screen-read, rather than read on paper - whether that's an improvement or not is entirely subjective.
Don't believe everything that you read.
My first erotic story was A one night stand in Spain | Lush Stories. I don't think it's either my best or worst story, but it was quite popular and the encouraging comments really motivated me to write more erotica.
I'm new here. I'm still waiting for my first (Katrina) to be published here. Although I've been writing for a long time now and this story was originally written in 2014.
I spent most of my years writing and publishing on my own website. With next to no readers since I never told anyone about my website. I closed that site down about five years ago and have just been writing on my computer and not putting it anywhere remotely public. So this is the first time I'm putting my work out there on a community reading/publishing site. I've signed up for a couple, but I really like the format of this site.
I put this same story on another community (I won't name names) but it's gotten a lot of comments, mostly negative. I don't think it was the right community/category for that story. We'll see how it does here. At least LushStories has the proper category for it. That said, the story is ten years old, admittedly cliche, and isn't really written to satisfy hetero males. Who are the ones getting angry about it.
Most of my writing is fantasy based and I'll be publishing more of that here. But even then I like to dive into weird stuff. Like the story is going fine and all typical, princes and princesses and stuff and then one of the villagers gets poked in the rear with a wooden spoon and gets all pregnant from it. That's not in an actual story, just a made up example. I think it's fun to get all weird like that. Which is why I write erotic fiction.
As for the actual first erotic story I ever wrote. I'm not sure. The earliest one I still have is called The Erotic Adventures of Peter Kums. A fun campy Indiana Jones style piece about a guy walking a strange world and encountering and having sex with people of different civilizations. Starting with a tribe of all amazon type women. That one was written for more of a hetero male audience. I haven't read it in a while, so I'm sure it's pretty bad. At the very least I'm sure the grammar and formatting are atrocious. I should probably get it out, dust it off, and reformat it.
Does anyone know how long it takes for stories to be approved? I think it's been about 24 hours now. Just curious.
First erotic story I had published here was: Shopping for a strap on | Lush Stories
I've written many more since.

My first published Lush story was entitled "One Beautiful Morning" but it eventually got taken down for a rewrite so another took its place as my oldest story. That was on my old, now deleted, profile.
