Question
We're not allowed to have people draw for us, translate for us, or record for us. But are we allowed to write other people's experiences?
I have this friend, who's bisexual, and she's offered to tell me the story about her and her girlfriend, so I could write it and post it for the contest.
Would that be OK? She tells me what happened, and I write a story from it?

Question's Answered
I don't see any problem with ghostwriting, as long as you're not writing word for word what she's saying. Of course, again, that's another trust thing. How would any of us know if you're writing exactly what she's saying?
I trust ya, Svenska = ) I'll bet everyone else does, too.
Go for it!

Thanks for trusting me! 
I promise to write it with my own words. After all, I have to make up the lines they're saying to each other. It will be the very first time I write a lesbian story...

THE POETRY CAP SUCKS!
Okay, what I'm really here to post for today. You may not really care about this, but I have a good point - so, read on.
* * *
The Poetry Cap - Right now, after eight poems, Lit by way of this contest does not encourage me to write more poems.
The contest is fun, yes, but it was created to encourage writers who like such contests to write more.
When I saw this limitation to poetry last year, I said to myself, "Yeah, Lit is all about stories and poems are not stories (Well, actually most of mine are), and since it takes a shorter amount of time to write them (at least, for me it does, but this is not the case for everyone), then counting points for all poems would put the story-only writers at a disadvantage.
This year, I do not agree with this logic.
First of all, some of the stories submitted take less time than some of the poetry to write. You know what I'm talking about, especially those of you who wrote their first poems last year as a result of this contest.
I mean, we don't want this contest to be only about counting up points, we want the stories to get better and by that, for us to improve as writers.
So, as a result, my first suggestion is to change the scoring so that every poem written during the year of the contest counts!
Now, you might be saying to yourself, "That's not fair! Poems are short. Poems are easy. Anyone can write a friggin' poem in about two seconds!"
Fine, fine, I understand this line of thinking. It's just as true of many stories, however, but that aside, let's encourage the poets who spend a lot of time writing poetry to get compensated for the poetry they write.
Last year, I wrote about one hundred poems. I have a suggestion on how to score these for the contest that I think is fair; especially to those writers here who only write poetry. Remember, their max possible score for our contest is 24 right now (Non-Erotic, Erotic, and Illustrated) with the current caps.
Suggested New Scoring Method for Poetry Submissions: The first poem in a category is worth 1 point. Each successive poem in the same category is worth one-third point. In this manner, someone writer a poem a day would end the year with 122 points. A fine score, but not necessarily a winner. What did you end up with last year, Chicklet? 171 or so? And afterall with such an effort, a poem a day is a lot of work.
* * *
Well, what do you think? Can we implement this for this year, or do you feel that I am too late with this suggestion? Mull it over.
Thanks.

Cool, especially since you freaked out when I put the pic of that girl's wet pussy to you. This is really great. I look forward to reading it. I knew you would loosen up.

It wasn't so much the wet pussy as the stubs on her mound... Please, when you take such photos, go for the extremes - either a very hairy one, where you can't see anything, or someone who gets a Brazilian wax every week! Stubs are just gross!

Can you imagine that I was not paying any attention to that. I wasn't thinking that I should have asked her to shave before taking the pics. I just didn't care. The pussy felt great, but I will pay more attention to that. I want everyone to enjoy the pics and not get freaked out by them.
Our pics together will turn out much better, I'm sure.

BlackSnake, a picture of you licking a fully dressed woman would be even better!
Honestly!
I could get a lot of inspiration from that!
It's true!

Chain Story Idea
I was just watching Joe Millionaire and I was wondering if a chain story about a reality show could be any fun.
We start out with one guy or girl and ten contestants, girls and guys. Each author writes an episode of the show, maybe the characters sleep together and the main character gets to judge, and in the end of the episode the author chooses someone to be eliminated.

Re: not it
well we could only have as many characters as chapters people wanted to do - people could do more than one chapter...
I'm going to go start a discussion in the author's hangout
