More Mature Stories?

[sirhugs]

You mean, most stories of love are based on a comedy about two horny teens being idiots? Cause, ole Willie fully intended for them to be laughed at. Just imagine him rolling in his grave now at all the people sighing over that story and going, "Such a romantic tragedy."

Hmmm, that might make for an interesting story idea for someone. A crotchety old historian that is constantly getting into debates with a romantic literature lover on intent vs interpretation, and the love that blossoms out of it.

I don't recall Romeo and Juliet to be a comedy.
I do like your twist though.

 

[sirhugs]

Wel if there was a reasoned argument to be made, I'd happily debate you. But there isn't because the issue is a matter of your opinion. Yours. There are no facts to toss around, no stats to look up.

So sarcasm is what you've got left. You come here and get critical about other people's input and ideas, but don't actually put in the effort yourself. Which makes your opinion completely worthless.

Again, so sorry you're disappointed in us. I'm sure we'll all miss you when your demoralization leads you to quit the Story Ideas forum altogether. For about 3.2 seconds.

no personal attacks please. Definitely not a story idea.

Something like that.

No, it's not very funny to the modern person, but all of Shakespeare's plays were originally intended to make people laugh.

You're right. My apologies. Edited the post.

Have drafted a prologue for a sequel to My Father's Secretary. Not sure about how that prologue, which I rather like, fits with the scenario for the reunion that I sketched out in the first post to this thread. Welcoming fresh suggestions how I bring sexy Sadie back into my Nameless Narrator's mature life.

I did start the the assisted living story. Must get back to it.

I think it’s one of the ten stores I have awaiting publication. Not sure

My definition of a mature woman isn’t about a specific age number—it’s about that moment in life when you realize you’re not chasing your beach body anymore, no matter how hard you try. It’s the acceptance of a few extra pounds, breasts that know gravity is real, and curves that weren’t there before. But along with those changes comes something far more exciting: a sharper, hungrier desire. I know this because I’ve stepped fully into that stage of life.

At first, I resisted. I squeezed myself into clothes meant for girls, not women, and wasted time lusting after men who didn’t even recognize the TV shows or cultural touchstones of my generation. Finally, I said—enough.

I tossed the Roxy outfits, embraced the softer lines of my body, and leaned into the woman I’ve become. That’s the place I’ve been writing from for the past three years. In every story I publish, you’ll find at least one woman in her forties or older—claiming her sexuality, reveling in it, and giving her lovers (and my readers) immense pleasure along the way.

Because here’s the truth: as a mature woman, the intensity of both the pleasure I receive and the pleasure I give is tenfold compared to my twenties. I love this stage of life. I love being seen, wanted, and celebrated for it.

I’ve just dropped my 14th story. I write slowly, mostly because I do what I want, when I want. This new one is called The Maine Attraction. At just three Lit pages, it’s a quick, playful indulgence with a few unexpected twists. And if you find mature women irresistible, I think this story will deliver precisely what you’re looking for.

Great comment

Great comment

but of no help to me...

Just read the first part of that story. I love the detail in the sex. I seem to have read quite a few stories recently where there’s loads of detail in the build up but then the sex is just a line or two.
I was really able to imagine what that bar looked like too, probably not what you had in mind but your writing made it easy for me to imagine

this is not the place for comments on the story, this is Story Ideas... there is a comment function at the end of each story.

Right-o, I’ll take the hint. Have a good day

meanwhile, I am 800+ words into the secretary sequel , trying to segue into the sex. Still not sure what sort of sex it ought to be. Do I parallel the first chapter, or try to cover sex acts not included in that chapter?

 

[KindredFlame]

Put your own experiences in when deciding a setting. The detail you can add to the scene means so much to a reader because it brings it to life. I've done hobby shops, car shows, beach houses, offices, condos, cruise ships and trailer parks all based on somewhere I've been.

So if you're a big camper, hiker, convention-goer, whatever, use them as your setting. 'Write what you know' is one of the oldest idioms of writing, and it's good advice.

They can be I was working on a story where step daughter agrees to go to cabin with her stepfather and a few of his mates. They normally took one of the wives or hired a call girl who was willing to rough it who was willing to cook

 

[000zing]

Got me thinking that what we need is more mature stories. Probably because I'm just a dirty old man.

God, yes. Every time this issue arises it gets the thumbs up from me. Sex, I honestly believe, is wasted on the young.

Certainly from a story plot angle, the more enriched a character can be from experience and individual quirkiness - features usually deriving from maturity - the better!

 

[KindredFlame]

How about elderly man who decide his home help should do a bit more than cook and clean.

Frank, a distinguished sixty two year old gentleman, whose neatly pressed shirts and well maintained garden spoke volumes about his lifelong penchant for order and independence, had come to a quiet, somewhat reluctantly accepted truth. Though far from frail, the sprawling Victorian dwelling he'd called home for decades was slowly but surely becoming more of a challenge than a comfort. The once effortless task of polishing the banister now left his shoulder aching, the weekly vacuuming felt like a marathon, and the meticulous trimming of his rose bushes was becoming a test of endurance rather than a pleasant pastime. It wasn't an admission of weakness, he reasoned, but simply a pragmatic adjustment to the gentle march of time. He needed a little more help around the house.

Before placing an advertisement or even beginning to ponder the logistics, Frank, ever the considerate patriarch, broached the subject with his two daughters, Sarah and Emily. He knew, deep down, that his decision wouldn't come as a complete shock. For months, he’d overheard their well meaning but increasingly audible 'complaints' as they rather dramatically put it about the amount of time they were dedicating to 'looking after him.' While he deeply appreciated their care and frequent visits, the phrasing always chafed slightly; he was perfectly capable, just a touch slower.

To their credit, both Sarah and Emily were immediately apologetic when he brought it up. Their faces softening from their usual bustling expressions, they quickly expressed remorse for any burden their comments might have implicitly placed upon him. Beyond the apologies, a sense of palpable relief settled over the small gathering. They enthusiastically agreed it was an excellent idea, a sensible step that would not only ease Frank's daily burdens but also alleviate their own thinly veiled anxieties. However, their enthusiastic assent came with one non negotiable condition: they insisted on being intimately involved in the entire vetting process. This wasn't just about finding staff; it was about ensuring their beloved father's comfort, safety, and continued dignity, and they wanted to personally ensure the right, trustworthy individual became a part of his meticulously ordered world.

What's a "Victorian" when it's at home?

Sorry it should say something like Victorian house. Victorian abode. Victorian dwelling. I missed it, resolved now.

 

[Reenigam]

And nor is Story Ideas the place for discussions on all kinds of things except a story idea.

And yet we see these being allowed to go on for days, weeks before sometimes being booted out to AH or elsewhere. People draw these irrelevant postings to the attention of both yourself and the OP, often being howled down in the process as somehow being "unfair", and yet often nothing is done.

One of these days I'll put up a thread here on the merits of solar power versus wind power. I'll bet it lasts a week or more.

Ooh no, no, no. The classic stereotype is 'Victorian suburban red brick villa'. Surely you knew..?

I have submitted a post that includes a snippet of an idea that is aligned with the idea for the request for more mature based stories. Have I missed the point somehow? I don’t think so?

For once or twice I agree with you however the point was made that it was confusing to some. Therefore I added dwelling.
