HAPPY NEW YEAR, CRUSHES!
This year has been full of ups and downs (you know pretty much like every year). We could rehash all the lows of the year or we could focus on the lessons learned and celebrate the highs. I say we celebrate!!!!
In January of 2023, I started medium, and I had no idea what to expect. I happened upon the site because a few writers I followed on TwitterX would post their stories. I read several stories from Medium and watched a couple of YouTube videos about the platform before finally taking the plunge and posting my first story on January 23rd. This led to finding more erotic writers and publications.
I finally found my tribe! But I was missing my bestie,
. We’ve done this writing thing together for over thirteen years, and it just didn’t feel right without her. In March, I finally got her to join TwitterX and Medium. I might have made her accounts and didn’t really give her a chance to say no, but hey, it worked out in the end. She is a phenomenal writer and business partner. She is also the best friend a person could have in their life.In May we wanted to branch out and start our own publication. It started as a place for crush-themed erotica but quickly grew into more. We now accept stories from almost all erotic niches. Late July the HUNDOS created by
moved to Crush, and we had no idea how quickly they would grow in the community. We decided in September they needed their our publication and Crush HUNDO Edition publication was born.DECEMBER HUNDOS: 684 Published
HOLIDAY PROMPT ENTRIES: 15 Entries
WHAT ARE THE PLANS FOR 2024?
We have lots of plans for the new year and we will announce each plan as they become closer to reality. However we do have some exciting news for January 2024.
A Crush Substack Account
We will use this platform to promote Crush writers. More information will come about this soon.
HUNDO Expansion Stories
We now have a featured page on Crush HUNDO Edition Publication. HUNDO expansions will consist of either multiple HUNDO words going over 100 words, a HUNDO series, and/or a longer story developed from a word prompt. Use the tags HUNDO expansion and HUNDO to be added to the featured page.
Scheduling Non HUNDOS
We want to be able to promote your stories better. A few things are in the works for this…
We are getting a lot of serials/series and writers who would like releases on specific days. We want to accommodate this as much as possible. Please message Crush on TwitterX or email and we will work with you to schedule a day/days and time/times slot.

A New Crush Publication
As we grow, we realize it is becoming difficult to find specific niches on Crush Publication homepage (especially on the mobile app). Growth is a great problem to have, but it does need a solution for overcrowding. We listened to our readers' and writers' suggestions. One idea that we kept coming back to was adding a new publication to our Crush family.
What Does This Mean For Crush?
We want to add this third publication into our family. This publication would be specifically designed for the following niches:
Cheating
Cuckold
Hotwife
Free Use
We need a name for the publication and are looking for ideas. The name should have Crush in it and refer to the niche. Some ideas are below. Please make your name suggestions or choice of the below names in the comments.
Free Love: A Crush Publication Magazine
Crush Out of the Box Magazine
Open Relationships: A Crush Publication Magazine
Straycation Crush Magazine
F*ck the Rules: A Crush Publication Magazine
