Posting true stories

[Nick_Blade]

I'm asking about this statement in an FAQ:

• Works professed to be true about real people in the title, tags, and/or description. You can use “true” within the body of a story as part of your fictional storytelling. This policy is to protect authors as well as third parties.

I only write true and unembelished stories from my own past. I only use first names and the only place I claim it is a true story is in the first two words of the piece - "true story." I do not claim that in the title, description, or tags. I'm 65 years old and have been hypersexual since a teenager. So I have lots of stories and I would like to share some of them. Based on the information I provided here, can anyone tell me if these stories would be admissible (assuming they meet all other publication requirements).
Thanks
Nick Blade

The stories that you describe in your post are the only kind I write normally. I have written two fictional stories but my other 12 are all true experiences. They are published but not very popular - people prefer fiction.

Thanks for the response

I sometimes write true stories but I never label them as such and allow the reader to draw their own conclusions.

It's weird - I posted one real life story last year, about times I'd gone streaking in the past, and the title said that the submission was "for real", and the description made it clear that the story was about me, not a fictional character. It got published first time, no problem.

Then this week I sent in a similar true story about events which have happened since then, with a very similar title and description, but it got rejected for the same rule as detailed in the thread. I've since changed the description so there's no reference to it being a true story, and I'm hoping that works.

Why is it so important to you that anyone knows its a true story? Is it important to the story in any way? Or is it just ego?

Saying a story is "true" means nothing to a reader. What matters is how well the story is written. If you write well enough, no-one can tell what is fact and what is fiction.

Drop the words "true story" from your opening - that's blatantly telling the site you're breaching a site policy, so why would you do that? The policy is there for a reason, it's to protect you and the site, so follow the policy.

Many readers will look at a self-proclaimed true story and say, "Who cares? Can you write?" Or they won't believe it anyway, and go find a writer who can suspend their disbelief long enough to say, "Wow, that was a good story. That guy can write!"

Because real stories are way more interesting when you know it actually happened. Otherwise they're just pretty tame by normal literotica standards.

I agree. I am not interested in the fictional flights of fancy - I want real life. The true stories are the best but I know that I am in a tiny minority.

I enjoy both, but I do agree a true story is or seems more erotic knowing someone truly lived it

Nous avons publié plusieurs histoires et nous aimons préciser quand il s'agit d'une histoire fantasmée ou imaginée de toute pièce ou plutôt un récit d'un plan cul réellement vécu. Nous trouvons, à tort peut être, qu'une histoire réelle apporte une saveur encore plus pornographique.

Funny you say that, I prefer true stories.

A well crafted story that maybe believable has more appeal than a poorly written anything. "True story" is irrelevant to maintaining interest if it is poorly delivered. I agree with others here that at best, the phrase is nothing more than a tacky marketing ploy for the ego enhancement of the writer. You don't know "it actually happened" or how it maybe embellished with fantasy.

As for Nick_Blade stating "have been hypersexual since a teenager. So I have lots of stories" - so what, pat yourself on your back about your memories. These words don't make your stories believable, how you write them may. If you are a clever writer then the reader may well come to that conclusion or enjoy the realism whether the story is based on reality or not.

I have no interest in the life or past exploits of any writer here. You would need to be shaping the world significantly for improvement of others before I gave any thought at all to who they may be as individuals. The quality of writing and how I may relate to a story may remain in my interest and admiration but their notch count is totally irrelevant.

How do you know a story is "true"? Just because some guy says so? People can say all sorts of things, but from their written content, there's no way of telling truth from fiction. Well, often there is, because very often the self-proclaimed true stuff is badly written - that's the usual give-away.

Give me good writing, be it truth or fiction, over poorly written true recounts, any day.

Personnellement je le dis quand l'histoire est issue d'un plan réel. Après je m'autorise à rendre la situation plus hard, plus intense car en quelques lignes il faut traduire un plan de plusieurs heures qui a de fait des hauts et des bas. Donc si vrai je le dis si fantasme je le dis aussi.

I wrote a friggin POEM last year that was hardly even sexual.

But it was rejected because I mentioned that it was a true story.

 

[Pabiporffor]

All my stories are probably true. I've got no proof but I'm sure they've probably played out somewhere.
