Hi rora,Aurora Black said:Another thing I've always wanted to ask you guys: Why did you decide to write erotica, and how did you find your way to Literotica specifically?
curl4ever said:Hi rora,
You have a very cozy thread here, despite the unusual building materials.
I finally got around to reading the beginning of this thread and found your post (click here) about the evolution of your erotica writing. Your starting story was amazingly hot for a nineteen year old writer and the latter excerpts scorched my monitor! (Any suggestions for removing soot from LCD screens? ) If you're still collecting life stories, here's mine...
During a business trip in Fall 2005, I found literotica's "wap" gateway in a search of Google Mobile using my cell phone browser. (For almost a year, I did most of my literotica reading through the tiny screen of that cell phone.) It was part of a deliberate plan to shift myself from image- to text-based erotica. I had a theory that such a shift would be healthier for my relationship with my wife, which turned out to be true. For me (YMMV), I found that visual porn decreased my desire for my spouse, while text-based erotica increased it. As much as I love them, I've forced myself to unsubscribe from the visual "nipples" and "lurving the labia" forum threads, since I found myself savoring the images too much.
I started *writing* erotica in Spring 2006 as a way of dealing with the occasional difficulties in our relationship. Instead of stomping off to a strip club or massage parlor as a secret revenge for frustrations, I decided to turn that energy into stories, which brought my desire back home. Most of my writing (many chapters still unfinished and unposted) have spouses reconnecting as their broad theme. (Don't worry about the storyline for Outside Interests though; in that case, the frigid wife was just a plot device and will soon be a distant memory.)
Due to work and family constraints, I don't have very much time for writing, so stories takes me a long time to finish and post. Aurora, you may remember that you teased me a month ago about writing for the Halloween contest... well, this morning, I came up with an idea for a SciFi story that coincidentally could fit the theme. Even if I started writing now, the day it's ready to post will probably be much closer to October 2007 then October 2006!
Peace,

He does not appear to have suffered from homesickness, although the suspicion that this might have been due to the unsatisfactory nature of his 'home' life seems belied by the tone and content of his letters; he makes frequent and solicitous inquiries after not only Mabel and his mother but also his father.
-- Matthew Sturgis, Aubrey Beardsley: A Biography
She was often solicitous of her daughter's feelings and intense reactions, trying to shield her from emotional trauma.
-- Adrienne Fried Block, Amy Beach, Passionate Victorian
He . . . was excessively solicitous, constantly apologizing for the car's poor suspension, the heat, the state of the roads, and the insane behavior of other drivers.

solicitous \suh-LIS-uh-tuhs\, adjective:
1. Manifesting or expressing care or concern.
2. Full of anxiety or concern; apprehensive.
3. Extremely careful; meticulous.
4. Full of desire; eager.
Solicitous is from Latin sollicitus, "thoroughly or violently moved, disturbed, or agitated," hence "anxious, uneasy, worried," from sollus, "whole, entire" + citus, past participle of ciere, "to move, to stir."
Skip1934a said:Well, 'Rora, you've finally found some words I know. I wrote a short 'stroke' story in one day yesterday. No editor, no beta reader. Just me. I wrote it with the intention of having readers finish it, not me. Wonder how that will work out? The name is 'Pure Stroke'. It should be up in a couple of days, so I'll see. Take care hon.
Sorry. I did see the Hades discussion, but missed the connection to change-of-venue. I really should look out the windows more often.Aurora Black said:We started in the North Pole, but since then we've completely moved house to Hades for the summer.
I had completely forgotten about that post until I clicked the link. Was I really saying things like that after only a month at the AH, so matter-of-factly and comfortably? I suppose so. I loved your story, and I applaud the fact that you use your reading and writing of erotica to strengthen your marriage.
That's how it happened with me, you see. When I first found Lit, I was unhappy with the way things were going with my boyfriend and I. I was frustrated sexually as well as generally concerning my life. I felt as if I wasn't living up to my full potential. When I began to read the stories here, I knew I wanted to be a part of the Lit equation. Since I began sharing my works with the public, my most intimate thoughts, I've become a whole new person. Better, stronger, more open, more loving and understanding. I grew a backbone, finally learned to love myself, and realized that 99% of sex takes place between the ears. I saved my relationship with this knowledge, and now it's the strongest it has ever been.
Grass tells this story in awkward fashion, coming at it crabwise indeed, with hesitations, shifts of direction, and out of sequence, allowing his narrator to display his own confusion, uncertainty, resentment of a history that has deformed his own life.
-- Allan Massie, review of Crabwalk, by Gunter Grass, The Scotsman, April 5, 2003
Atwood moves crabwise through such questions as the place of moral or ideological content in art, the conflict between artistic purity and commercial necessity, and the nature of the relationship between writer, text and reader.
-- Christopher Tayler, review of Negotiating with the Dead, by Margaret Atwood, Sunday Telegraph, March 10, 2002
Without taking his eyes from the road his left hand moved seamlessly from the old-fashioned gear stick to Sally's lap where, after a brief professional rummage, it moved crabwise on to me in the back seat.
-- Sue Arnold, "The difference between a grope and a caress", The Independent, October 4, 2003

-- George Perkovich, India's Nuclear Bomb
Although we are not very old friends, we struck up a rapport on that trip which was more than that of mere shipboard acquaintances.

Good morning, friends and lurkers.
I'm going to be writing all day, so there's no need to get huffy like a neglected housewife if I don't respond right away. Later, gators.
