I agree with everything said above.
I hope it all turns out okay.

It's a great idea to ask for help from your Lush friends when proofing a story. I have had some great tips and advice from some brilliant friends, who are helping me grow as a writer.
If you ask them to make notes, and then you go back and change the mistakes, you will learn a lot more than from someone just corrects everything.
I find proofing the hardest part of writing but if you stick with it, it does get easier.
Good Luck x
I am always happy to give feedback on stories, but my editing skills aren't up to much. I have in the passed asked lush friends to help with my own editing.
It's a great way to learn, and I feel I have improved a lot.
One thing I would say, is be careful that when someone edits the story, they are looking at grammar and spelling. I prefer it of they don't comment to much on the content of the story, as I wouldn't want them to change the direction of my story. You may find that you don't mind getting creative help, but for me I like to keep my own voice and ideas. That's not to say that I don't welcome story ideas from friends, but I still like to keep control over my original idea for the direction.
Good Luck with your writing.
If 'cum' must be used I would suggest that it be used only as a noun, to distinguish between, say, semen, and the act of having an orgasm. For example, "At long last he was coming - groaning with pleasure as he spurted again and again, covering his beloved's face with cum.".
I was only having this conversation with another Author yesterday. I agree with you.
Welcome to Lush,
I always score and comment on stories that I read. I know not everyone does and thats thier choice, but being a writer myself I know how important getting honest feedback on my stories, so want to return the favor to fellow authors.
As I said above I am honest with my feedback, I dont think there is any point in being nice and lying about my views on a story, but I would never be horrible, I think its important to give constructive criticism, as I writer I welcome it myself.
When you have made some good friends on lush, you could always send them previews of your story to give more detailed feedback on, but I would make sure that the story is complete first, otherwise they could end up influencing the story and sending in a different direction to the one you planed out.
I dont have as much time as I would like, but if you ever want more feedback, I am always happy to read and comment on stories, if it will help the writer.
Hope the writing goes well.

As an author I have thought about it, and have taken the choice to limit the amount of description I use, giving as little information as possible and allowing the reader to imagine the setting, characters as they would find attractive. I may add a few details, perhaps hair and eye colour if I feel it adds to the story, but I don’t feel the need to go into great detail.
A good story for me draws me in from the start. The characters have to be believable. I like a good story, not just written porn. As a writer, if I feel inspired to become a better writer after reading someone’s story, then in my book they are a good writer and have written a great story. I like well written description, that are not to repetitive and that gets me hot and bothered, after all that’s why we come and read the stories on lush ;-)
If she doesnt ask you, then your not being dishonest, your just not telling her everything, its different.
If like me you feel like you have to be honest, then you should be able to trust this girl with your secret, if she's the type of girl to go and tell everyone, is she really the person you want to give your virginity to?
I will probably watch most things, but as I always wanted to be a gymnastic when I was little, I will definately be watching that.
Most definitely! There's nothing like a bit of rough ;-)
That's not to say I dont like to be in control some of the time, but its always hot to give myself to my man, but I dont like to make it to easy for him
I appericiate any comment left on my story good or bad, if someone has taken the time to read my story and then leave a comment it means a lot.
I couldnt decide between the two comment below;
"Along with part 1 I rate this as some of the finest writing Lush has to offer. It almost goes without saying that it's incredibly arousing, but I love the fact that there are also all kinds of interesting subtexts."
"The confliction of will and desire is so real, the sense of guilt prfound, yet the pull of her lust overwhelming. And the use of the dream was a nice stroke of creative writing. Very erotic and arousing. Great story. I look forward to the next installment with anticipation."
They really built my confidence and encouraged me to keep writing.
Coffee, White, Two sugars, I'm on my second cup of the morning x
I do own Pj's but I tend to just wear them round the house in the evening. I sleep in my knickers and nothing else. I have a dressing gown close by if I need to get up and cover up quick.
I have a few passing comment that my profile information was a little basic, and I have in the past not accepted friend request from people for not really having much info on their profile.
It’s the first I've heard someone moaning about too much information.
I'd just ignore it.
I started out just reading stories, but after a submiting a story I got hooked, and love writing now. I didnt set out to make friends here, but have found some really lovely people and made some very good new friends.
If you give it a go, if it doesnt work out a least you know you gave it a shot. If you feel that strongly about each other the distance will not matter.
If it's available then I will watch internet porn, but if i'm not by the laptop or its not pratical (the bath for instance) then I will go for the option of fantasy, thinking about a person or situation.
I tend to read erotic stories as a warm up, it gets me excited and then I find myself watching porn to get a release.
Hope this helps x
The worst for me has to be being submerged in water, I used to hate swimming lessons at school. I could swim well enough not to be in the begineers group, so they moved me to the next group and always tried to make me drive under the water.
To this day I still get panicked at putting my head below the water. Its a bit of a bummer really as I would love to enjoy water sprots, but if theres a chance that I could go under I just cant do it.
I did manage to concour part of my fear on holiday when I went snorkeling.
The other big one is enclosed spaces. I was at one of those adventure play parks, going through one of those plastic tunnels, two horrible boys decided it would be funny to trap me in the middle and not let me out, I shit myself (for all those non-british - this phrase is not to be taken literally lol - It means I was very scared ;-)
Personally, it doesn't matter to me what gender the writer is. I've read crappy stories written by both female and male writers and I've read really amazing stories from writers of both genders.
