My (non) comp entry. Non because I read the rules too quickly. Let me be a cautionary tale to you all: actually read the all rules of the comp before you start writing. I'm so bad at rules.

My story is published, but I missed the bit about it being flash-related, so I had to pull it out (heh) of the comp. Bah humbug. Anyway, here's my non-comp flash, if anyone cares to read it.

just a reminder for anyone reading this thread. the theme is FLASHING. if there is no FLASHING in your story, it will be sent back. for those unsure - FLASHING doesn't mean being naked. it's the deliberate, or sometimes non-deliberate act of showing off either your tits, your pussy, your cock, or your ass in a teasing way or flirtatious manner. thank you

D'oh! Guess I'm out. Totally read past that. Mine's just a regular flash. I blame the pain meds.

I'm in. The MS Word word counter gave me a higher number that the Lush word counter. Weird. I snuck a couple words back in still and stayed under 1000 on the Lush counter.

Fucktons of coffee

I do a ton of walking, even in the winter. I also lift a set of small weights on my off days.

Curtains open. I have a thing for hotel room sex.

Coffee or tea?

New York City.

What's your favorite city in the world?

13 years. We almost got married.

What is the most annoying thing about Christmas to you?

Morning all. Sorry you have to go to the dentist today Ape.

My knee is still messed up, so I didn't well. It's early as fuck, and I'm tired as fuck. Grrr. I launched my comp entry today, perhaps prematurely (heh), and I will pass the time reading the other entries.

EDIT: There's a LOT of entries! Better get crackin. This will need a lot of coffee.

Seize the carp!

I need nine. Under seven and I am useless.

I know. 😈 Notice how easy it is?

Good to see you Ensorceled; that description sounds like a great afternoon except for the knee part.

Nice to see you too. It really is kinda nice here, if you aren’t driving. There is a huge snowstorm dumping on us now, and I’m just editing and watching the snow pile up. I’m savoring my last gulps of cold coffee for the day.

i mean, you know me. when is reading ANY story of mine while really stoned NOT a good idea?

I'm a big proponent of the reading-Lush-while-stoned thing. Write sober, read stoned. It fills in the spaces :)

Wow. Excellent story. This is a great read! Fast and fun and hot, and really well-written.

Hey everyone. Haven't been around much, my apologies. But my knee is messed up, my wife is out of town, it's snowing hard outside, so I figure what better way to spend an afternoon than in a bar, writing.

A shot of bourbon and a beer back. A gummie if you've got 'em. I'll be in the corner booth.

I have just completed my first draft, and it came in at 937 words. 😊

However, after I edit it, I am sure it will be well north of 1,000 words! 🤣🤣

Ha! Yeah, I keep adding two words for every one I cut. Lyfbz said on another thread that you can get the count down by making your sentences more active. Neat trick. I'm using it.

1008.

First draft done at 1050 words. Those last 50 words to cut ain't gonna come easily.

I'm game. I'll bring some Sopapilla Cheesecake, a delish dessert made with crescent rolls, cream cheese, and lots of cinnamon and sugar!

Can we do audio for a comp entry?

My wife is out of town, and now my knee has given out, so I literally have nothing to do but try and think of an idea for this comp. Thus far: crickets.

Quote by Seeker4

Took a crack at something between shoveling snow and meetings today. Might work but needs a hot twist at the end. Fortunately, I have one in mind.

I'm the opposite. Strong set-up, but no twist, and nowhere to go.

That's excellent! A big fan of audio here.

Lighting the place on fire, the Lush you'll-regret-this log blazing.

Hey, the missus is out of town, I’ve got nothing else to do.

Like Godzilla on Tokyo

Deeply fond of this Screamer

Quote by sprite

you are such a slut.

It’s the Verbal in me. :)

We still go. Maybe once a month. Usually horror.

Do you still write anyone personally via snail mail?

Back in Lush1, unaware of the prohibition, I submitted a play, which was returned. Though the Mod thought it worth reading, the explanation given was the difficulty of maintaining proper text formatting. Lush2 tools have advanced in that regard, but not by much. I ended up creating page images and posting them as an album in my media: An Incident In The Night

Gorgeously formatted, and the tone you set with the language matches the formatting. Interestingly, both Bast and I cry the same thing during orgasm!
