not sure i'd describe the authors as volunteers. amateurs, yes, but not volunteers.
also, unless you some how have been fooled into thinking the mods are variations of spiderman, your quote makes absolutely no sense. what great power? you think that this is a position of power somehow? btw, if you want to fast track your stories, feel free to go gold.
Frequently Asked Questions: Why should I support lush? Lush stories is a privately owned site, run by volunteers.

To me all the moderators do a marvellous job here on lush ............ Moderators are only volunteers so there can be a limited number of them online verifying stories. Gold members always take priority as so do competition entries. So be patient and your story will eventually get verified. Some of the moderators have become good friends of mine and I fully respect everything they do for this site and giving up there time to help out the site
new message has been sent to you from curvygalore.
Hi Michele,
Just to let you know that your story is currently at no. 7 in a queue of over 50 stories. So if my American colleagues don't look at it tonight, I will snag it for you tomorrow when I'm moderating.
We volunteer moderators really do our best to process stories as quickly as possible. The queue just seems to be never-ending! Not that we're complaining as it's great people want to publish their stories on Lush.
All best wishes,
Curvy
Cheers,
Lush Admin
Quote by MelanieCDT-girls and cross dressers what was the first item of feminine attire that you BOUGHT and where?
For me it was a burgundy padded bra and matching thong from Target. It was where I was at when the urge and courage hit me to finally buy something of my own. My guys parts kept falling out of the thong. Finally found a style that holds everything in. I tend to buy a lot from Marshalls, TJMaxx, Burlington Coat, Victoria Secret and DSW and department stores.

With the demise of tumblr, I am looking for another place (in addition to Lush) in which to write my stories. I had/have all my stories on my tumblr site currently–some of which are also here on Lush, but many have yet to be published here or are too "hot" for Lush. I am looking for another story site in which I can keep them and explore subjects which Lush does not allow. I DID have cover pics with my stories on tumblr until they got a stick up their...
Anyway, I am just wondering if anyone else writes for another story site. I am not leaving Lush, I just like to have my stories backed up and want to explore more "advanced" subject material. Suggestions anyone?

All of our experiences with submitting stories here on Lush are anecdotal. For me it is rather simple. In over six years and more than 500 submissions I can't really recall having any submission take more than a day to be approved and posted. etc etc

Maybe because some of the sites you mentioned publish any crap sent to them, while here you have to use understandable English. I've had stories almost rewritten, considering the typing errors and punctuation mistakes the monitor had to correct. I've also had about eight stories rejected, but now I've learned (mostly) and get published fairly quickly.

that and the competition deadline, where we green lighted all comp entries. btw, gold members get 24 hour (usually) turn around on submitted stories.
as for why we don't allow multiple submission, one reason is, if you're writing a multi part story and we send back chapter 4 for revision but publish chapter 5, than you've got a hole in your story.
as for the other sites, i can't speak for Fict, SO, Nifty, or TS but unless things have changes, Lit takes notoriously long to publish - i know this from talking with other authors as well as personal experience. Maybe you just got lucky.
I am prolific author of online erotic fiction, mainly themed around transvestites (because I am one so easy to write about) but also , pantyhose/stocking fetish (yes I have one), and often with a forced/reluctance theme.
I am published on Literotica, Fictionmania, Stories Online, Nifty, Top Shelf and few other smaller sites. Some of these sites take a day or two to publish submitted work and some send back for revision but here at Lush it seems to take forever for works to get approved and published.
I don't know, maybe it's just the holiday season and all the moderators are away on holiday?
Not complaining; just sayin' that's all
