Just a reminder. we have certain subjects that we won't publish.
- .
-underage (16 is a hard limit).
-non-consent.

the last one is bold for a reason. recently we have rejected several stories that are either stories or fantasies. we do not publish those. anyone submitting such gets a note in their moderation box as a warning. if it happens a second time, you will be deleted. period.

i hope that's clear?

thank you

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 swear there used to be a much more detailed breakdown of the content rules than is provided in the FAQs, which gave examples and such. Vampires and blood, for example.

Seems as if it was a forum post, but I can't find it for the life of me. Thought it was a sticky, but obviously not any longer, if it was.

Or if it even existed. Maybe I dreamed it...

You should bold the under 16 part because really, that’s just sick

We did have a very extensive list at one time but it started to get ridiculous and convoluted.

It was replaced with a new simplified guide back in 2014.

Don't recall it being all that convoluted. I found it quite helpful, really.

Of course, a lot of that was due to Supernatural/Sci-Fi & Fantasy clarifications more than anything. There's a lot of stuff that can happen in the storyline, which would get bounced if it was part of the sex. That old extended guide did an excellent job of drawing the lines for things like that, from what I remember.

I seem to recall from my brief time backstage that underage and non-consent often went hand-in-hand. I had to use the brain bleach a few times after nuking stuff like that.
Milik, why is that "just sick"? I began having sex with a friend at a shockingly young age, and I would never be allowed to write about my real experiences. Also, I think a lot of boys (I can't speak for girls) have their first experiences when they have just passed puberty. If is now allowed (and it's wildly popular) I don't understand the 16 limit. If it's not an adult with a minor, but two minors having their first time, I don't see the problem.

I’m not going to get into the morality - or legality - of this subject. What I am going to say is that, as a long time moderator, I had the displeasure of reading many examples on this subject, examples that were far from being ‘innocent explorations of youth’. Trust me when I say, the young love romance stories you are referring to can easily and effectively be written within the rules Lush has laid out. The story I have linked to my forum signature is just such a story of budding romance and sexual exploration. No one in it is under the ages allowed by the site, and it has done phenomenally well.

However, the vast majority of characters I’ve seen who were under 16 weren’t 15 or14. They were much younger and were not truly, as the law states, able to give consent. You haven’t read the unfiltered submissions we’ve recieved. I have. These are an entirely different animal.

I don’t know exactly the stories you’d like to see posted here, but consider that if those plots require a character slightly under 16, you as a writer should have no issue writing them within the rules at 16 years old.

That said, (and I’m not accusing you) if you were to desire them much younger, then I have no hope of understanding you anyway.

Edit: the issue of writing about two minors is that it is meant to be read by an adult. These stories cater strongly to those who have a desire to prey upon the young. Not everyone who reads them perhaps, but they do feed the fantasy’s of those who do.

I understand the rule and will abide by it, although I find it a little sad. I received my first real kiss from a female that was fifteen and so was I. We had other encounters but no anal or vaginal penetrations. We were just two teenagers experimenting.
