A hot little Halloween number just posted at Lushstories for the “Morning After” contest. Go give it a read and a vote to support me in the contest!

Never saw that one coming.
“Send in the Clone” just placed second in the “Toy With Me” contest at Lush.
Never saw that coming, because as far as I knew, it hadn’t received the necessary ten votes to qualify by the time the contest ended. Surprised, and naturally happy about it.
No clue what I’m going to do with the store credits that are the prize, though *laugh*
Dip at SOL & Lush – Clone in Ebook form
“Dip in the Lake” is up at Storiesonline and Lushstories. Doing well at both places, and at Literotica for the contest. No chance of winning the contest, but lots of votes and favorites, as well as attracting eyes to my other stories, which is the real goal.
I also converted “Send in the Clone” over to Ebook format. It’s available in RTF and Kindle .prc on my downloads page.
When I scrolled through my numbers yesterday, I realized that “Nude Holly Day” has hit “Famous Story” status at Lush, ( 30k views ) so I added that award to the story information.
My last several stories have all also made the toplist for downloads at SOL. Usually, it’s in the 20s, but a few have climbed nearer the top. The site has really improved as far as readership goes the last year or so. It was down for a long time, and is getting back up to where it was when I first started there.
That’s it for now. Brainstorming Halloween stories as well as a few others. Feel free to make suggestions.
“Clone” in the queue at Lit
I just put “Send in the Clone” in the queue at Literotica. There’s been a two-day lag in posting for quite some time now, so I expect it to go live there on Wednesday. With that in mind, I’ll submit it to Storiesonline on Tuesday night.
If the Lit posting goes up earlier, or gets marked for an earlier posting ( sometimes stories are pre-approved ) I’ll adjust my SOL submission accordingly.
This was written for a contest at Lush, but I think I may stop entering there. Most of the recent entries haven’t even managed to qualify. I tend to get exactly 9 votes, which is one short.
I’ve really seen no benefit of entering the contests there. It doesn’t increase readership the way the Lit contests do. If anything, it seems to keep people from voting because they’re participating in the contest, or a moderator charged with narrowing down the field, etc.
It’s getting to the point where posting there at all isn’t worth the effort. Even a good showing is less than 30 votes now that they’ve disabled anonymous voting, and anonymous comments have never been allowed. So, I’m getting very little feedback there.
The overall readership has plummeted since they got rid of the incest category as well. On the day they abolished the category, they had an Alexa world rank of 5362. Today, that rank has nosedived to to 8121, and is on the verge of dropping below ASSTR again.
If conditions don’t improve, I may not bother with Lush any longer. The submission form is annoying to me because it won’t recognize my italics from Wordperfect, forcing me to go through and manually put them into every story. I do that for Lit as well by adding the tags, but I can do that in the document before submission. I have to do it in the submission window at Lush.
I’m also not getting any referral traffic from Lush. I’ve always had constant referrals from Lit, SOL, and even Lit’s forum, but lately, Lush isn’t even showing up on the radar. Even Facebook and Twitter send more eyes to my site than Lush, and I don’t really post or tweet there that often.
The effort vs. reward is rapidly deteriorating. As it stands right now, if I do decide to drop Lush, I’ll probably leave everything up there and simply stop posting new stories. There have been some troubling things coming from management/moderation in the past, though. If something like that comes up again after I’ve decided to drop them, that could prompt me to wipe out my work there.
If that happens, all the stories will still be available either on my website, or at Lit and SOL.
Send in the Clone
My latest story just went live at Lushstories for the “Toy With Me” contest. Go give “Send in the Clone” a read and a vote, won’t you?
Coming soon to Lit and Lush. Just want to give it some exclusive time to pick up votes for the contest.
Getting up for Dawn
My latest story is live for Literotica’s Nude Day contest!
Go give it a read and a vote!
Coming soon to Lushstories and Storiesonline as well.
EDIT: Consider it “soon” LOL
Lush update
In case anyone is wondering, Lush chose to remove the incest category, so all those stories I had posted there are now deleted.
They are all still available on Literotica, Storiesonline, and as Ebooks in Kindle .prc and RTF format here on my website.
Kind of in a serious motivation slump right now. Trying to find a storyline that gets me jazzed enough to get back in the swing.
Apologies for the drought. I go through them now and again.
Pink Slip-pery Slope is live!
Pink Slip-pery Slope is live at Lushstories in the Seduction contest!
It’s in the queue at Storiesonline, and will likely go up in the morning. I’ll put it in the queue at Literotica tomorrow, because I want to make sure I avoid a Sunday release. It will most likely post Monday or Tuesday there.
It’s up at Storiesonline right here Pink Slip-pery Slope on SOL
A Pink Slip-pery Slope
Well, so much for “mulling it over” 😀 I finished the first draft of “Pink Slip-pery Slope” for the Lushstories “Seduction” contest last night.
That one will go into editing before “Breasts to Go” simply because it does have a deadline – though that deadline is 10 days away.
If work isn’t a living nightmare, it will go up at Lush sometime during the week. I’m hoping for the 14th, because it does have a bit of a Valentine’s Day connection. Once it posts at Lush, I’ll put it in the queue at SOL, hoping it will go up later the same day.
Because of the lead time at Lit, it will probably wait until Sunday to go in the queue there, for an expected release the following Friday.
I don’t want to risk an accidental Sunday release at Lit. That’s the kiss of death for reads.
Another in the pipeline
Don’t forget about “Diamond Valentine” in the Lit Valentine’s Contest 🙂 Your votes determine the winner.
Just finished the first draft of a new quickie for the “Hot Shorts” page called “Breasts To Go”. I’ll start editing it in a couple of days and probably put it up on the site before next weekend.
Now I’m mulling over a story for Lush’s Seduction contest. Not much time to finish that one, so it will be a matter of whether the idea will come together quickly enough for me to get a solid start on it this weekend. If work is anything like it was last week, I won’t have the energy to do much of anything during the week.
