I’m wondering about people’s experience with requests here, so I figured I’d start a thread.

Do you accept requests?
Yes, if I’m into the story. If you try to push me into something I don’t want to do, no dice.

Examples of a story you’ve done that was a request?
My stories “A Request For Help” and “Desert Angel” came as requests from the same source. “Running Down a Dream” was a request from another fan.

Requests you’ve denied?
On another site, someone wanted me to have a cop abducted, tied up, and sexually harassed, then left in that situation with no rescue. I was not into that for obvious reasons. Sorry, but if I do anything like that- a) the cop will be into it and playing along to mess with the perp. And b) there will be a rescue. I do not leave my characters in unwelcome situations. I’m not that kind of person.

I can't remember ever writing a story based upon a request. I don't turn down requests. I just don't respond to them.

The reason is writing such a story is usually doesn't turn out well. The person making the request has in mind what they want the story to be, but since I can't get in that person's head, it's unlikely I'll write what they're thinking they want. It would be about the same as your kid asking you for a car, and after you buy them a Mustang and they see it they say, "This is OK, but I really wanted a Charger".

I get that. The requester has to let me write the story. All the fans who requested the stories I mentioned above told me they wanted were “Kellie Shirley & Jessie Wallace from East Enders”, “Eva Mendes”, and “I want a character based on me to be Ryan Reynolds’ obsessed fan unicorn”. I did the rest.
 
Sometimes, sort of. On a different site I took over a storyline that was about a college girl who was hearing voices. The voices were trying to corrupt her into doing various sexual things, and readers were invited to comment with suggestions from the voices. So it was kind of a game and pseudo-collaborative writing exercise. I'd post a small chapter incorporating one or more of the suggestions from the previous chapter, then end with some kind of a prompt for new suggestions in a new scenario.
But generally I'm posting stuff that's already written, so the request/suggestion would have to be extraordinarily compelling to tempt a rewrite.
 
I have had one "write my wife" story request that was sent to me directly. Apparently he'd read my open relationship LW story and wanted a similar story about his wife and her boyfriend. As my future story idea list has thirty five entries, and I'm not into the humiliation that he wanted, I passed on it. I'm not against the idea of doing so, but it would take a very intriguing story idea that was perfectly within my wheelhouse for me to take the time to do so.
 
Yes, I have done stories on request. In both cases, they were stories done at the request of a couple, where the woman was cast as a "hot" wife or girlfriend. I had extensive back and forth messaging with the couple. It worked because their fetishy interests dovetailed neatly with mine. The stories were "Slut Lessons For Scott's Wife" and "Photoshoot for Bobby's Fiancee." In both cases the couples loved the stories, or so they told me.

The one thing I dislike about doing a story on request is the extra pressure of knowing I'm writing for someone else. I don't like that pressure. But the results were very satisfying. I think a crucial element is to make sure your writing goals and erotic interests fit perfectly with those of the people whose requests you are fulfilling. In my case, the fit was perfect, so it was fun for me and for them.

I have received some other requests, but I haven't followed through on them because I'm just far too backlogged with half-finished stories.
 
I’ve been asked, and it’s usually flattering since they’re basically saying they’ll trust you with their story idea. But every time so far the plot is very specific in a way that does not appeal to me. Like Simon, I have plenty of work in progress.

I get suggestions - normally “this is my favorite fantasy, can you make it into a story?” That’s not often very interesting and I mostly politely decline. But, for the right idea (see next)…
Examples of a story you’ve done that was a request?
I have only written one request, The Pornstar Experience. The requester had formed a quasi-friendship with a well-known pornstar on OF. He wanted a story about meeting her IRL. He was specific about some things he wanted included. He left it ambiguous as to whether he had actually booked her, or whether this was fantasy about doing so.

The OF relationship was real as far as I could tell. He sent me a screen shot of her saying she was cool with it as long as we didn’t do some things, mostly relating to identifying her.

Why did I take the request?
  1. I found the idea interesting - the dynamic between adult content creators and consumers
  2. The guy had read and liked my stories - he explained why he wanted me to write this one
  3. He gave me total control, apart from including a few things
  4. Importantly, he was very nice when he asked, the opposite of demanding
Requests you’ve denied?
As above really. Plus when people assume you will drop everything and cater to their wishes, that can be grating.

1-Yes, but the idea has to really grab me

2-Several that are for sale, on here 'Let's Make a Deal" "Is your mother Home" and from way the hell back in 2011 Anniversary to Remember which I was supposed to write with someone else, but they dropped out so it turned out to be just mine. The ones that are for sale come from my method of handling commissions. If someone asks me to write something I offer two prices. A higher one if they want it exclusively for them and I write it and send it to them, or a lower price if they're okay with me publishing the finished product and making money on it. So far only two people have taken the higher price and even with them its because there was no place I could publish that content.

3-When someone reaches out and asks if I do requests of commissions I always say I'll take a look at it, but no non con....and I swear six out of ten times they come back with a non con idea.
 
Do you accept requests?
I'll look at them. I don't accept requests. If it fits something I have in mind, the requestor might get lucky.

Examples of a story you’ve done that was a request?
LOL. Not Applicable.

Requests you’ve denied?
I never deny them. I just ignore them.

It has to absolutely grab me and be something I want to write. Pumping out something for money isn't sufficient motivation for me to finish anything. I can't even be bothered to package my existing catalog and stick it up on Smashwords.

Examples include the later chapters of Blackhawk Hall https://www.literotica.com/s/blackhawk-hall-ch-01 where a reader was sending me "challenge words" to include in the story as I went along. Actually led to some fun scenes in the story. The other — from the same reader — was Ebon Genesis. https://www.literotica.com/s/ebon-genesis He was curious about where Zoraster's origins. Once he mentioned it, I was too. I had a history for him, but it was from the PnP game and didn't include the sexual fetishes that emerged when he ended up in erotica.

I'd say at least 70% of my requests in this name are for cuckold humiliation, and another 20% for hardcore non-con. ( Often, a combination of the two ) Why anyone would look at my catalog where there's little of any of those elements and think I would be interested in — never mind any good at — that sort of story baffles me. Another small fraction are Milf cutting loose and having a gangbang, which makes more sense, but they're usually so specific with details to include that it pulls me out of the idea.

So I've politely declined nearly every request that has come my way. Had to block one guy on another site because he went on a rant after I declined a request for a story about him being humiliated by his wife and her bulls saying, "I don't think I'm the right person to write this for you. It's not the sort of thing I'm interested in." He was pissed that I'd 'dismissed' the idea with so few details, and then started providing those details. I got a couple of lines in before deleting it and blocking him. A hardcore dominatrix would be muttering "Jesus Christ..." at what he wanted done to him.
 
When a requester gets overly specific about their idea, I suggest they write it themselves and shut them down. It usually works.
 
I've written a couple of stories on request. Mainly because the idea peaked my interest.
I don't even mind a collaboration.
As long as I can put my heart into it!
 
never been asked to do a story request, but have done art requests. i do requests if they request something i happen to be into to start with :p and sometimes i have fun doing like interactive art thingies with the peoples. like someone was like you should draw a sexy genie, i was like yeah i'll draw a sexy genie and yall comment what you'd wish for from her and i'll draw that too ;3
 
I have solicited requests and suggestions for my series, but more of a what would you to happen next from a list of possibilities. Not much helpful resulted.
However, there were some proposals that had nothing to do with the story. 🙄
 
If I've received a request - maybe two? - I've ignored them. I have no interest in writing somebody else's story. I don't consider myself to be a writer to be a writer, but somebody who has a yarn or two to weave. I like it that way.
 
I get suggestions - normally “this is my favorite fantasy, can you make it into a story?” That’s not often very interesting and I mostly politely decline. But, for the right idea (see next)…
Meant to add, the guy I did the request for knew my kinks (from reading my stories). The worst is a “fantasy idea” which is totally not my kink. E.g. “I want you to write my wife cucking me with a BBC, while she humiliates me verbally.”

So no to cuck, no to BBC (nothing against black guys - have only fucked a black girl, but that says more about the crowd I was in; I just don’t like the black guy as savage beast that BBC seems infused with), no to humiliation (the BDSM I used to take part in had no humiliation element, before you ask).

Other than that, when do I start writing?

I've got one here I wrote for a couple which worked out okay.

I was approached a few years ago by a woman who wanted me to write something, but her idealised woman was so unerotic to me, and her plot premise ridiculous, that I gave it away very quickly. Someone else wanted me to write humiliation stories for her, so that too never got started.

Concensual Bondage where the sub is in control, which is what's really happening anyway, if you're doing it right. 😉

Yeah. I hear on here “the sub is never in control, that’s an illusion that dies hard as soon as the restraints are closed.” Not in my old crowd, is all I can say.

Sounds like this thread has wound its way back to the 'is it NC/R or BDSM?' argument.

Not really. Some people view BDSM as NC. That’s when boundaries are not agreed up front and safe words / signals not respected. For some people the actual total loss of control is the turn on. Not me. I used to like what was being done to me.

Of course this only works with trust. I only ever do 1-1 BDSM with someone I trust totally. Some people hook up with strangers for BDSM sessions, I know two. That was never me. Even in a group session, I wanted at least two (ideally three) people who I could trust to look after me.

It’s kinda funny writing about this stuff. Feels like another person sometimes. My Saturday has been assembling IKEA bookshelves and hanging up pictures. Not many ball-gags involved, well maybe just one 😊.
