I've been on Literotica for a minute; the bulk of my output here dates back to seven or eight years ago, before I was making an actual living at freelancing. But I've enjoyed my time here, and it occurs to me that I have a particular fondness for many of the stories I've written on the site. It occurs to me to wonder: which are my favorites? I'm going to throw up my top ten. For those of you who have a top ten (or five, or whatever), I'd be interested to see them.
My top ten picks from my own stories:
1. Strange Hunger
A "rude girl" story (I have a bit of a thing for skinbyrds for some reason, I suppose I'll have to take that up with my therapist). Consistently my favorite Literotica entry. It's the story of mine that feels most authentic to me, featuring characters and situations who could actually exist. It's the story that leans least on Porn Tropes but is still erotic, and it's the story I'm most likely to re-read.
2. A Short Disclaimer
This actually came out of a conversation about Disclaimers on AH, and was my effort to create the most comically ludicrous example of the trope. Some of the most fun I've had writing just about anything, and to my knowledge is the only text I've written to be translated into Hungarian, so... that's a thing.
3. Heart Like a Lion
Another "rude girl" story. As I understand it, this was the first prize-winning story to emerge from the NC/R category (I'm sure there have been other examples since). I still enjoy it. The fact that it sent a certain entitled party into such a paranoid spiral that he tried to emulate the Sorcerous Formula that he imagined made it possible is a bonus, and remains funny as hell.
4-6. The Space Princess Stories.
These aren't live on Literotica anymore, but I published the first few novellas here. The first three of them, if I remember rightly. Extremely hardcore porn Star Trek parodies whose basic premise was "bikini girls in spaaaace!" They're ridiculous and very niche, but also the most consistently profitable erotica I've ever written when I actually published them. (Shout out to Pippa Martinez and Uruk Press, whose faith in the concept made that possible.)
7. Miss Lilly's Spring Surprise.
Hot Teacher Porn featuring an analogue of Lily LaBeau. The first story I ever published here. Nothing too deep going on here, it's pure spank material, and I think that's one of its virtues.
8. The Game.
A story focused on NC/R roleplay. It was meant to be the beginning of a series, but I never got round to completing the series. It turned out this story was enough for me.
9. Running Riot.
Another "rude girl" story. This one borrows heavily on personal experience, but not in a straightforward way. I would probably rank this one higher if it had a more believable climax, but I still enjoy it.
10. Making the Scene in Room 116.
Sort of a "rude girl" story, but only tangentially. Basically a story designed to poke fun at the "interracial" genre and a specific sort of Karen who gets off on it. Not my most artful work, it has to be said. But I'm not embarrassed by it. It was a fun little attempt at a contest entry (this one didn't win anything).
Those are my top ten favorite Literotica outings from my personal perspective. I look forward to seeing others' picks: there are more than a few writers who have veritable libraries of stories on here, but even if you only have a handful of tales on the site (much like me) it can still be an interesting exercise.
(Is this lowkey an attempt to trawl for some good stories to read? Oh yes. And how. Non, je ne regrette rien.)

So I guess it can be done.
