Announcing our Anti Valentine Competition

I have a question, which might be a bit of a strange one, but I came up with what I think might be a good twist on the dark valentines, with a bit of humor and a different approach. Darker stuff isn't my forte but I feel it's good to try at least to develop myself in writing. So my question is this, is necrophilia out of bounds for a story like this? - many apologies if I'm way off course in advance...

I protest! I love anti VD poetry! No fair! (Kidding-not kidding)

Simplified Acceptable Content Guide

Most of the rules, I think, were developed around British laws.

There are 2 things that make me say that the answer is 'No'

1) Necrophilia is illegal in the UK - 2 years inside for it.

2) This from the simplified guide linked above "totally unwilling participants". Consent has always been a key word on Lush, enthusiastic consent even better. As the dead cannot give consent, then I would default to them being totally unwilling.

However, I am sure a mod or staff member will be along to correct or confirm.

I couldn't find a link to the full guidelines for stories, if I do I will be back to update this post.

Welcome to the forum, by the way.

I mean… given the nature of this website there’s a lot of people who really are interested in big hairy balls being sucked.

True! Hahaha! Too bad I have to like it too though in order to hit Submit...

You set bar high with yours...

Necrophilia is always a NO, unless perhaps your story is about zombies, and no one gets off on the account of the other dying/being death.

Another interesting challenge. Hope a gritty story of deception fits the bill.

I just got the weirdest story idea.

I thought there was likely a hard NO looming for the story idea, I had a scenario around a guy who could not get his ideal girlfriend and so "makes one" every valentine (in a Frankenstein kind of way) and the story would have been his warped confession, hey ho, back to staring at that blank page. But thanks for confirming it now, and not 2500 words later

Imo, this could still work if the constructed girlfriend came alive or was shown to have a soul and could consent in some capacity. Maybe along the lines of The Man With Two Brains.

Would all the girls she's constructed from also have to give consent? Good story idea, I'd read that.

Me too.

Tricky, haha. If she was made of bits of people that were already dead and the last component of Frankengirl was something that made her alive, it'd probably be okay if it was handled well.

The only thing the rule's there for is to avoid snuff stories and ick. Steer clear of those and it should be passable.

Quote by CuriousAnnie

Lol, channel how you felt writing forum posts on other threads and you will be fine. Any rate what about Tick Tock?

That's what i use in the ring while kickboxing. tick tock wasn't really all that dark and twisted... well... maybe a bit? lol

necrophillia is not allowed. nor is snuff. that said, sex with a "frankenstein" monster, ie, a dead body brought back to life? i don't really see a problem with that as long as the sex happens while the monster "lives". hope that helps?

Same!

Geez, this one is really going dark. Now I am tempted to get in. Maybe if my story for the blue comp doesn't pan out, I'll have time.

i think i do, actually. tick tock, baby.

And... story started. i'm in as long as this one doesn't derail like that last one. lol

Could I write about Uncle Valentine instead? 😳😲🤣

Hey, it's getting late and I've had a busy week at work. That's my excuse and I am sticking to it. 😇

That's perfect, Rachel, 621 words: just add To Be Continued and hit submit.

Odds are you'll be fine, there's one mod who gets a bit grumpy but it will be worth it for the coin.

I'm front of the queue to tip large for this.

lol that genuinely made me laugh. oh, and updated to 1885 words. getting concerned about the 2500 limit now, since i just started in on the sex scene... fyi, this one's not as dark at Tick Tock. I think? btw, I AM expecting an entry from you. please.

🤣 at CuriousAnnie's post.

I pretty much always overshoot and then edit like crazy. You'll be fine. And you're further along than me. I had an idea come to me in the wee hours this morning. Not fond of it, but I had one that could fit.

i need to trim 47 word. not so many, but it seems like an impossible task. I did go off on a tangent talking about a wrist watch's origin, so i think that's going to have to go... lol

I'm excited to read the final piece.

Quote by KimmiBeGood

Thank you. Per my usual lately, I wrote it and now think it sucks big hairy balls.

Well, there's your story, then. Sucking big hairy balls for V-day!

Very romantic. Especially if it's a monster's balls…

Like the prince who wanted to wed the princess and was given a task that the king, who wanted him as his SIL, was sure he could do.

Prince came back days later, dog-tired, covered in blood, guts, and wounds, dragging a broken leg and an enormous sac behind him, which he dropped at the king's feet.

The king was horrified. "What the devil is this? And where is the pair of ping-pong balls I told you to get?"

The prince wailed, "PING-PONG balls?? I thought you said KING KONG'S balls!"

Tick Tock is still one of my favourite stories on Lush.

Love the theme. It's great to see so many authors excited by this comp! We have a nice bunch already, but I'm hoping for a large turnout.

Here's to a fun, dark and twisted anti Valentine romp!
