Dinner and a movie? That's always a solid choice...

Lol, as long as they're not out past curfew, I don't care what they do!

Got my required votes and now it's a cruise to that Big Sweep at the end.

I think watching trolls get swept away is what I contest for now

I'm half way to the required votes and getting closer to 3* with every vote

My story went live last night and I saw it had one 5. This morning it has more than the required votes, some hearts, about 4k views, and in the low 3s. Will have to see if it can make it in to the 4s.

Wow, ok I've never read anything like that before and putting my hand up, I felt uncomfortable with some of the phrasing.

It took me a bit to realize you weren't talking about my quote, but I think you're saying my story made you uncomfortable? Welcome to the deep end of the pool, I guess. Some folks like it, some are disgusted. That's all fine. I'm just doing me.

Lordy. I should post in NC/R more often, maybe. This thing's getting huge numbers of views.

 

[Rustyoznail]

Well, it's finally in. A few days late, but better late than never.

A brother and sister, both virgins, go camping in the middle of winter. The campsite's washed out, so they spend the night in the car drinking booze and watching porn. Of course, nothing happens.

Not bad considering two weeks ago I didn't have an idea.

Excellent story! I laughed, I cried, I masturbated. What more could you ask for? Mary Lou Retton doing back flips as Tiny Tim?

What more could a lit writer ask for?

Hopefully not crying while masturbating. The Mary Lou remark dates them.....and me...sigh

I remembered my 2-year-old son having a crush on "Me-Me Woo!"

The first crush I can remember was Valerie Bertinelli on One Day at a time. Another was Justine Bateman. Always had a thing for brunettes, which of course is why I'm married to a redhead.

Got my Winter Holiday story posted this weekend here. Ratings are coming in lower than usual and I already got my first comment that makes me question some of the readership (again)!

Commenter called me out for unrealistic portrayal of the effects of alcohol and the age of the people involved. But..but... my author name and entire intro specifically talk about how I write (basically) true stories. I put things about aging in there, recovery time and additional lubricant. It's been 24 hours! Where is his holiday spirit?!?!?

Oh, and first TV crushes? Easy!

Everyone knows "I Dream of Jeannie" - emphasis on the dream.

I should tell my genie joke here.

 

[Rustyoznail]

[Voboy]
