Even though you feel like you need to let her know how you feel, this is a bad idea that will only get worse. It possibly will border on sexual harassment as one already said, plus you don't want to blow a good job that you may have and that will most definitely do it.
"Wow, I can't even see it with these glasses!"
All of it drives me crazy, even in text messages. When I compose a text message to my friends, mine are always perfect and spelled out correctly.
I guess with my English degree, I take it to heart.
I have been asked several times from Lush readers if I would mind proofing and correcting their stories before they submit them because they have told me that they have read my stories and see how well developed they are and they can tell that I take my time to get my stories correct grammatically and content-wise before I send it for authorization.
That makes me feel good to have other readers tell me that, so I gladly tell them that I will be glad to do so because it is something I like to do and I like to help a fellow Lush member.
I can't tell you how many stories I have actually proofed for a Lush member and I never have received a thank you as a footnote in a story. They do send me a PM thanking me and sometimes it is enough for me.
I can only imagine what the volunteers and moderators go through on a daily basis here having to read so many stories from authors. I know that it is a task in itself. I would like to hope that my proofing a story from a fellow Lush member would make the process easier when submitted.
My hand goes out to you volunteers and moderators for the jobs that you all do. If it were not for you, I am sure that Lush would not be as much as wonderful place as it is now.
A hand up for jobs well done!
I am partial to smooth, but it's really up to her how she wants to keep her personal quarters. It's her body and she has the right to do what she wants to, just as long as it makes her feel good.
I personally don't look at popularity when on here. I come here because I enjoy being a member of Lush and enjoy interacting with other Lush authors and members.
I write a story just for the pure joy of being able to share some of my writing ability with the Lush population. If a reader likes it and comments and votes, that's great.
I do like getting the comments on my stories. It does let me know that the readers enjoy what I have written.
But I never look at it as a popularity contest here. As long as I enjoy myself being a member and having readers enjoy what I write, then that is enough for me.
My dog just turned 15 years old and since the day I got her as a puppy, she has always understood words and commands.
However, seeing that she is now in the geriatric stage of her life, I would look at her and say, "Allie, it's been a long hard ride, but we have done it together."
I'd say that because since the day she was 10 months old, she was diagnosed with hip dysplasia, and I gave her the surgery to correct it or help it, but now she has developed arthritis in her hips and I have to help her up to get around.
She was also diagnosed with Canine Hemangiosarcoma, the hypodermal type, which is benign, but keeps coming back as a mass under the skin near her stomach and I have to have it removed when it reaches a certain size. She's already had three removed from recurrence.
So, seeing that we've both been through a great deal together, I'd want her to know for sure.
When writing, I tend to steer away from using numbers totally. Numbers give an exact meaning to something that a writer may not want to convey. For that reason, I use the same concept that you propose adele.
Those that you have named are ones that come to mind when I write and want to convey a meaning "numerical phrases," if you will.
There is also the following words: twice, thrice, quadruple, many, , zillion, and some (which in numbers could also be "sum," as we all know).
Then there are phrases like the following: "a lot of," "a great deal," and "it was not in the cards."
But to tell you the truth, if I ever use those numerical meaning words or phrases in my writing, I leave it up to the reader to make up what they believe I was trying to convey. The ready may be right or wrong, but I will never know because I am just the author letting the reader decide for themselves.
"A hand out is what you get from the government; a hand up is what you get from a friend."
The first thing I look for in a story is the writing. I do not want it to be very simple, but I do not want it to be very complex either. I want the writing to be well-written and very enjoyable enough to hold my attention.
If it is boring in the very first few sentences with no structure, then I will just move on.
Great descriptions also are a plus. Being very descriptive can be just as effective as being well-written.
As long as it is well-written with great descriptions, the romance, love, sexy parts and erotica will all fall into place.
Seeing that I hold an English degree, grammar and content weigh heavily on me, not only as a reader, but as a writer also.
I have seen so many stories here get approved with so many grammatical errors, I often wonder how they even get past the approval process myself.
That's why when I write a story, before I even send it off for approval to the moderators, I always make sure I proofread my story at least three or four times.
I always do the editing myself. Very seldom do I have someone else read a story. That's because of personal reasons.
I take the time to make sure my stories make sense in both grammar and content before I ever send them off for approval. I want my readers to be pleased by my stories and respect me as a writer.
And I have to say, I have received that respect so far as a member here and I do hope that I continue to receive that in the future.
Mine was "The Sundevils."
I admit, I participated in two, but neither were planned. They just happened.
I played baseball in high school and after a game, we would shower. Well, two of those times turned into one. Both started innocently with maybe one stroking a little then another started and before we knew it, we were all doing it. It was more of an experiment I guess you could say.
The second time was just like the first, but I guess it was kind of called for and we knew it was going to happen.
I am just glad I was not the first or last guy to blow a load. That would have been very embarrassing to me.
Never have done it again and never will.
I agree with both, DirtyMartini, and Gurlyboy. Since I also write fiction, I have folders in "My Documents" on my P.C. set aside for those. For my erotica, I simply save the story in "My Documents." It helps me keep them straight that way.
I've never named mine. Never had a reason to do so. I've never had a girlfriend name it either. It's just there and it is what it is!
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.
Well, the three that I have been with were all shorter than me and I actually prefer that. But it would not be hard to find a woman taller than me either, seeing that I am only 5'9"
If it ever happened, I wouldn't look down on it. But I do agree, shorter women are much curvier.
It shouldn't be just for military moms. Women who are mothers know how important it is to feed their newborns. What difference does it make if these women are in the military or whether they are just civilians?
I have no problem with women breastfeeding in public. I have actually witnessed it three times myself. As long as the woman (mother) is comfortable with it, why not? It's a natural thing for mothers to be mothers. The three that I saw, two were very discreet about it, but I could tell what they were doing and they did not show any part of their breasts. They were well concealed.
But one, however, she just whipped it out and let the newborn get nourishment. And this was in Ruby Tuesday during lunch one time! I say, more power to new mothers that have no problem doing what is a natural thing.
I know this is on the gals section, but I wanted to give my input, from a man anyway.
When I went on a cruise to the Bahamas one time, my partner (at the time) and I found our way to the indoor pool and we were the only ones there. With the thought of being alone in there, urges got the better of us and we had sex in the pool.
I would never do it again however. It felt like I was thrusting my erection into a dry socket of sandpaper. It was not that she was not aroused, she was, very much so, but the lack of her lubrication made it highly difficult.
Now maybe it was because the pool was filled with the salt water from the ocean, and that had an effect of drying her out a bit, but it ruined the moment for me, and since I remember that, having sex in a pool again does not appeal to me.
I have never been lifted by a woman, but the sound of it is highly erotic, although, I doubt I would ever find one that could actually lift me. I don't mean I am overweight or anything, but just more big boned and awkward, I guess you can say.
The role reversal of that would definitely make me feel how they feel when we lift them to take them wherever we want.
My first inclination would be, to make sure it was my girlfriend. Personally, I don't know how "he" could not have heard sounds that would make him know who it was.
I would not say that it makes one gay, but could it be borderline? Yeah, maybe. I'd say more bisexual at most, and even then, that's iffy.
This is just like the incident I have heard of years ago about a girl being taken advantage of while she was sleeping, and she had not been drugged or anything. She was just in a deep sleep that did not wake her as the guy was pounding her. When she did wake, he was lying beside her and she could tell what happened.
I mean, come on, women out there, wouldn't you wake up to see what the hell was going on? How could you sleep through a guy fucking you?
There would be so many questions going through my mind I couldn't go on. I'd have to know.
When it came to putting a bio in my profile, I knew exactly what I wanted to put. I put enough there to let people know who I am what what I was, without delving too much information. It tells the person reading it exactly who I am and where I stand without being offending to anyone. Most people understand where I am coming from and respect that.
