Hello all.

Had a really sweet Christmas this year (after a run of bittersweet ones). Hung with daughter and grandson and Layla and had a wonderful time.

I got a super fancy Nintendo controller for Christmas and will spend the day playing No Man’s Sky. Does ANYONE here play this game? I am so taken with it.

We need some comp entries over on Stories Space! To recap:

Team Red: Annie, Carlton, Ape, Sprite

Team Blue: Verbal, Kimmie, Lyfbuzz, Bear

Did I miss anyone? Any more takers?

Average score wins. Losers have to buy a drink for the winners at Rumps and/or Inspirations. Sound fair?

Thanks for the coffee!

I am usually a completist, and try to read ALL the entries of any comp I enter. I fell well short this time, but I will try to read a gob of them today. SO MANY good takes on the theme.

Quote by LYFBUZ

Lyfbuz for Team Blue!

Blue Team thus far: Verbal, Kimmie, LYF

Red team thus far: Annie

Anyone else for Team Red? Sprite? Bunny Girl? Ape? Bear? Carlton? WW? Kat? Kisten? Terrence? Did I miss anyone?

I hope everyone is safe and sane this Christmas Eve. If you have a hard time dealing with the Christmas season (and boy can I grok that) then just hunker down and be kind to yourself and get to the other side.

Peace all. Merry Christmas.

Yay! Annie is Team Red. Verbal is Team Blue. Any other takers?

I wrote two stories for this comp. The first one, I didn't read all the rules (do'h!) and didn't include anything about flashing in it. So I took it out of the comp about 5 minutes after entering. It's got bondage, filthy phone calls, and two full hours of edging. It's called Gift-rapt. I'm really proud of this one. I like to think it packs a little heat.

The second story IS my official comp entry. It's lighter, less emphasis on sexual heat and more on dialogue (it's the same unnamed couple as the first story, and most of my other stories). It gets very nipple-centric, if you are into that kind of thing. Clearly, I am. With a little exhibitionism thrown in, just for kicks. Chris M called it "elegant." The story is Faith and Joy.

Excellent story. The way you ratchet up the heat and sexual tension in this is masterful. And your portrayal of the power dynamics is nuanced and fascinating. Congrats!

Morning all. And welcome back little bunny girl!

Anyone interested in a little friendly wager? For the SS comp over on the blue site: Lush writers vs. SS writers? Team Blue vs. Team Red? Best average score? If you write for both sites you get to choose your team. I'd be Team Blue.

Anyway, just a thought. Coffee please. And what the hell, fling a gummie into the bottom of that cup! I may actually try that this Christmas break. I will report my results. For science.

Quote by Seeker4

I though gummies went in bourbon, not coffee? Wouldn't a gummy basically melt in coffee (assuming fresh made and therefore hot)??

Melting is the point! It just adds a little flavor, and a little bump. Okay, I've never tried it, but the internet says it works great!

Quote by Jen

We had this on v1 for a decade. It's nice to see some old features coming back. The interminable to-do list is slowly getting done. The more we can keep people engaged, the better, I say.

This screenshot made me homesick for the old site. And Oceanrunner! Good writer! Hope he's doing well.

Quote by Seeker4
For those wondering why, my next story here will be a flash retelling my current one from the store clerk's POV.

Same picture please!

Woke up too early again. Bah humbug. Better hit me with a coffee. I plan to laze away the day reading comp entries on both sites. Maybe make an attempt at a flash for the rhymes-with-gnu site.

I had a 182 word story up for about 10 minutes. Decided I didn't like it and deleted it. Thanks to the 3 or 4 people who actually saw it. I may try to whittle it down to a micro.

Coffee please! I hope that's not a gummie I see at the bottom of the cup. It's not even noon!

thank you to all of you for making this possible by being wonderful human beings.

Even Kaiju? Even after destroying Tokyo? All we ever wanted was acceptance flies off happily on Mothra’s back

Nothing new here. Getting the last few touches of Christmas done.

Remember the flash comp over at Stories Space (https://www.storiesspace.com/)! Use up any leftover flash ideas for the flash comp extravaganza here! It really is fun.

Coffee and a gummie please.

I’ve had sex on LSD. It can be crazy hot, but you have to be able to get past the weird shit (I remember my girlfriend’s head turning into a bird head and having to take a moment). A big yes as long as it’s not your first time.

Quote by Ensorceled

Thanks for that, Ape.

EDIT: I just pulled what we'll call a Lyf, and forgot to hit the Like button on several stories I'd read and commented on. I went back and thought I got them all, but let me know if I missed yours. Or worse, if I changed my like back into a non-like because us poor colorblinds can't tell the difference between the colors. Discrimination!

A bourbon would be awesome. Maybe a gummie at the bottom, slowly dissolving into the alcohol.

There's a WHOLE NEW FLASH COMP over at Stories Space! C'mon! Let's get some Lushies over on the blue site to write some non-smutty flash! It's Christmas!

Okay. Done shouting. The comp looks cool though.

I should get to reading some comp entries over here today. So glad to be done with my two. Sadly I like my first attempt WAY better than my eventual official entry.

Coffee and a cinnamon roll please!

Quote by LYFBUZ

Fuck. I keep forgetting to hit the "Like" thingy on stories, had to go back and hit Ensorceled's. (Sorry!)

If I comment on a story of yours and didn't "like" it, it’s because I'm a fuckup.

Thanks for liking me Lyf! I do that all the time. I am partially colorblind, and I can’t really tell when the like button has been hit. I have been known to click it 4 or 5 times, trying to figure out the proper hue.

Anyway. Thanks for the reads everyone, I will get to reading some more entries after I get done welcoming Layla home. So don’t wait up. I cannot accurately describe how much I missed her, this last trip. Sigh. We are coming up on 10 years together.

Coffee please!

Afternoon all. Exhausting day, but I did finish a comp entry. Less sex than my first try, but more dialogue.

https://www.lushstories.com/stories/flash-erotica/faith-and-joy

I’d kill for a drink, but I am picking up Layla at the airport tonight! So, coffee for me.

Merry Christmas season everyone,

Quote by CarltonStJames

Pfft, I wish.

The way it's looking, revising the sex may be the only way to get this draft within the threshold. Didn't want to do it, but time's running low.

Son of a Bitch 😔.

That’s why I mostly stick foreplay when writing flash

I’m in. Less sex than the first go, but more dialogue.

Quote by Piquet

As a clever and creative kaiju (with three heads no less) I'm sure you'll come up with something. Hang in there.

GOT it! And, boom, I just hit Publish. I love that moment, hitting the Publish button.

Quote by JamesLlewellyn

Relax. Just take yourself in hand and let it cum!

🤣

I TRIED THAT!

Man, my THIRD attempt at a story for this is flaming out. Maybe I've lost my touch at writing porn.

Quote by LYFBUZ
If Sprite drops in tell her I'm out back playing with the kitty. Her curiousity will get the better of her and she will fall into my nefarious trap.

I'm currently chilling in bed with TWO kitties. Sadly, they have no interest in playing with me and and are huddled at the foot of the bed, mocking me.

My new comp entry is quickly turning PG-13, and it disappoints me. No spark. I need to think of something filthy to write about.

Fingers crossed for a great job eval, Kimmie. You've got this.

My knee is still messed up, but I got a brace yesterday, which is helping me hobble around a little better. Just go to make it to Tuesday, when Layla comes back home. I've got a memoir critique group at 10, so better start cracking.

Coffee!

The Grapes of Wrath. I read it in college. It reminds me of my Dad.

Do you like to shovel snow?

Still stuck in bed, temporarily wifeless and irritable, but at least I have an idea for a comp entry that follows ALL the rules. It will give me something to do.

Gamera is really neat! He is filled with turtle meat!

Hello all. I have another weekend looming with a bum knee and no wife, so I might take a second shot at this comp thing. My problem is, I was so happy with the thing I originally wrote, I can't get excited about new ideas. My boredom vs. my perfectionism.

I'm so fucking bored. It takes so much effort to move anywhere. Sigh.

Lyf, I have woken up with kitty hair in my mouth more than once.

I'd love a coffee.

Quote by KimmiBeGood

It’s amazing! You are truly a gifted writer!

And you still have time to write another for the comp!

If I can come up with a fast 1000 words in the next week I might give it a shot. No ideas for flashing yet.

I read a couple handfuls of entries yesterday. It’s fun to read flash comp entries, because they go so fast, and you get to see so many interpretations of the theme.

Coffee please. My knee still hurts like fuck. I’m in bed with a laptop and a thermos of coffee. Grrr

An improbable amount of coffee

Quote by Seeker4

Best work I've got from my image generator of choice so far. Took some wordsmithing of the prompt, though. First try was a bit too chaste-looking to be Minnie.

It's literally my high school mall fantasy come to life.

Selectively kinky

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.
