Spinning the Trope...author's challenge idea

[Voboy]

Librarian: BTDT. Currently 4.73.

It was hot, but not exciting enough for me to want to do it twice.

If the trope is to avoid the cuck, hot wife, and LW category, then the MC should be single or divorced and unattached. When dealing with the babysitter or teacher/parent, again it would be for a single parent, otherwise there's a cheated spouse in the background.

I don't want to limit it to that degree, my suggestion is to not place anything in LW. If a husband or wife fool around with their kid's teacher, whatever. I know the incels leave the catbox, but we can't be afraid to write what we want, we can just avoid their main hangout.

Course...maybe another idea could be a hot wife contest where we all invade LW and cause them to have aneurisms. I have one that will absolutely do it.

MC could be a widow(er) or going through a divorce (which gives them a reason for finding comfort in the arms of their kid's teacher or babysitter)
ETA: or the teacher is the MC's spouse and at the end, it is revealed it was a bit of roleplay.

I don't think the point is to avoid those types of stories, just not to have the trope itself focused on one of them. I think it would be a mistake to set up the trope to avoid certain classes of stories. Let the trope be what it is and then let authors' imaginations run free to explore the trope as they see fit.

If we're talking short stories the marital status of the characters might not even be mentioned. Only their unquenchable thirst for each other.

 

[TadOverdon]

It's got to be the pizza guy or the plumber. Because both were done to death the second time they were ever used, and if the challenge is to bring something new and interesting to an old, old number then you might as well go big.

• Bridesmaid / Best man hooking up
• Hooking up at a school reunion
• Patient falling in love with their nurse
• "Whoops I lost my purse mister taxidriver, can I pay some other way" (she didn't lose her purse, but the taxidriver was hot)
• Teacher/Parent of one of the children they teach (which is a bit less exploitative than teacher student)

I have a story about a taxi driver on here, but it's extremely unlikely - it's a complete fantasy. Taxi drivers' lack of hotness is not based on their looks, but on their low social status. And they are not true "bad boys" like drug dealers.

When I had a passenger who couldn't or wouldn't pay, they just opened the door and left. I wasn't going to chase them.

A hot taxi driver would certainly be surprising. They tend to be older, so a hot one is probably the son/nephew of the person with the actual minicab licence (or NYC medallion or other local requirement). So our passenger can tell they aren't the guy in the photo and can suggest how they might be persuaded not to report the driver to the council/whatever authority. Back of cab shenanigans ensues.

My brother is a plumber and says he's had half a dozen women in 10 years answer the door in flimsy negligées like in porn movies. All over 80, at least two with dementia. Probably just as well.

There's a 'reality porn' site(oxy moron) that features a taxi driver that picks up women and has sex in the back seat. The name of the site is fake taxi
A friend of mine really thought this was legit, even argued about it forcing me to scroll through a bunch of the videos until I found the inevitable pro porn star as one of the 'real women' he picked up

But the fact its a site means there could be something to it, and now we can add uber drivers who tend to be more varied it seems than taxi drivers in appearance(a very cute young lady picked me up at the airport when my wife ended up with a last minute work issue and couldn't make it.) so there is potential

We can't live in fear of the trolls. Let's brave the troll infested forest and post "extra-marital fun" stories where they belong.

I was twenty-three when I started and got married about five months into it. Whatever I looked like, I'm fairly sure I was "invisible" to my female passengers as a potential partner.

When I wrote that taxi story I initially liked it. But if I was being realistic, as I think about it again, I would have ended it about two-thirds of the way through. Then, instead of getting a 4.36 score, I would probably have gotten something like a 3.02.

All over eighty! Reminds me of The Producers. The first one was the best; the second one in 2005 was kind of blah. As Zero Mostel says in the '67 one, "That's our Hitler!"

Look, I haven't polled every taxi and Uber driver in the United States. I'm sure it's happened somewhere. It just seems unlikely. I have heard a woman say that a UPS delivery guy was noticed by the girls in her school years ago. She was an adult by that time. Otherwise, for most working-class guys (firefighters being a major exception), it's more like the eighty-year-old ladies mentioned above.

Porn sites are not a reliable source of information about gender relations.

I worked as a warehouse manager for years, there is a lot of truth to what the UPS drivers have seen. However, none admit to taking anyone up on an offer. That is a well paying union job with great benefits, unless you're a real idiot, its not worth losing for sex

But that is reality and we'll have none of that in our stories dammit.

The low status might be the attraction for a classy lady who wants to go slumming.

Straight up, absolutely, but if you have another dynamic, for example if the extra marital ends up in a threesome, or its an older woman cheating with the sons best friend you're better off in the mature category where most people won't get crazy over the cheating because they're actual humans over there, not hyenas.

 

[Voboy]

I put extramarital cheating stories outside LW all the time. It's perfectly fine.

Or priest/congregation member

Youth pastor is also popular

 

[Jmanchu]

I already got a teacher story coming up but I don't know if I'm putting a spin on it. But ... I'm learning things writing it as I go along.
Librarian? Hm. Now that one gave me the beginnings of an idea for a story that I hope will be a ... good reading
And I have a... pretty boss idea, if I do say so myself, for a boss story.

I'm going to go now.

"Reality" porn is hilarious. 99% of it is obviously preposterous, but I have no doubt that plenty of guys fall for it. It's actually not a bad trope idea. I'm slowly working on a story of that type--two slackers who pretend to pick up women in a limousine, but it's really all staged, until one day it isn't.

 

[Lifestyle66]

I've done that, too with stories in Erotic Couplings, Group Sex, Mature, and even Romance.

But, lately, for my "The User Guide - a Geek Pride Story" I decided to slap the trolls and published to LW, when it might have gone into Group Sex. (That's probably why my subsequent Romance story was 1-bombed within an hour of publishing.)

Agreed. I've had success putting these kinds of stories in Exhibitionist & Voyeur. I get a few negative comments but not enough to spoil the fun.

That's funny I'm halfway through a milf piece where the woman is approached by two young men who run a milf hunter type site and offer her money to do a shoot with them

But I always try to be more real and maybe self aware because during the conversation when she mentions she's just supposed to bareback two guys like its nothing, he mentions they get drug tested weekly and they have the results and they need her to take one, so the shoot is not as spontaneous as it looks

His line is "Yeah, there's not a lot real about reality porn"

 

[gunhilltrain]

I think I have one of each suggestion already sitting in the wings, though of the two teacher/student stories, one wouldn't fly because the mom of the student gets the teacher fired a few years before teacher/student reconnect (I think I have her at 19 when they reconnect and she's working as a prostitute for her mother's drug runner boyfriend) by claiming something untoward was going on even though it wasn't, and the other is a play on red riding hood so would fall under nonhuman.

Preacher's kid being wild is another fun trope.

Or priest/congregation member

I got the priest/congregation member thing going on another site. I'm writing the third sequel now and yeah, it's a lot of fun. I'm a lapsed Catholic myself so I know some good details to include. It's in the New York of 1957, and the church buildings are based on the actual parish I went to a few years later.

Mine is a semi-spoof of the Bangbus concept -- a couple guys driving around who "just happen" to stumble on a hot young thing that needs a ride. It's all phony and staged, but one day the model doesn't show up, so they cancel the show, except this time, for once, they just happen to stumble on a pretty, vulnerable MILF whose husband has driven off without her after a fight. I'm about halfway done with it.
