On the Home page - the big button that's marked "Submit a story" - click on that and start typing away!

Why not read some stories instead

It's my impression that most of the writers here in the land of Lush, use word processors, Microsoft Word being the one most often used. If your computer lacks a word processor, free ones, such as Open Office, are available on the internet.

While it is possible to write a story in the 'Submit' section, it would be a struggle. Most folks submit stories by copying their final version then pasting it into 'Submit'.

Hope that helps, and good luck.

While I myself don't have anything as fancy as Microsoft Word, since that one costs money, I do have MS Works Werd Processor on my netbook...

Oh, and do make a serious effort to find the "Spell Check" button before you submit anything...that is without a doubt the most important lesson a new writer needs to learn...

Lush Erotica, an Anthology of Award Winning Sex Stories
Did we answer your question?

I am a bit confused as to what you want help with exactly.

Submitting an existing story?

Wondering which program to write a story in? (it's best not to write a story directly onto any site, in case the story doesn't save properly)

Thinking up a story?



Can you be more specific please.
I agree with Nicola on this about not writing the story directly to the site, although, I will admit, I sometimes go ahead and start a story and paste it and save it as a draft here. I've never had a problem with Lush not saving it properly! (Thanks, Nicola, for that feature!) I can always go back in and edit the story before I click the actual submit button.

I often use Microsoft Works to do my writing though. It does make it easier to use a word processor application and then copy and paste it into the "Submit a Story" feature here.

If you set up an account with either Google or MSN the you have access to online office software, including a word processor. It means that as long gas you have internet access you can get hold of your documents anywhere. There is also the advantage is that you don't leave your hard drive scattered with erotic stories.

Well, I know when I have the writers block I like to take a shower, then I lay back in my bed and the words just come to me. But if you need to know where to start, the beginning is usually a good place to start.
I must be weird. I actually write and edit my stories right here in the story editor. I use the 'save draft' feature a lot and come back a couple of times before a typical short story is finished.

The same GQP demanding we move on from January 6th, 2021 is still doing audits of the November 3rd, 2020 election.
I use notepad. It's on every Windows computer. Right-click. Select 'New' then Text Document.
My latest story is too hot to publish. My most recent story before that is Even Stranger In Lust

Great tip, thanks Graham.

You want to get serviced by 3 guys in tutus? Christ, I knew you'd reached the tipping point, but I didn't know how far you'd take it.
