First Story

[Island_Barbarian]

Hi all, I have been reading literotica for some time now and finally got around to signing up, and submitting a story.

I felt the need for interaction rather than just being passive viewer. There is more to life than mental masturbation.

How long does it take for it to be approved or reviewed?

Just curious.

Take care all.

Oh goody, THE QUESTION has been asked.

I'll be kind and let everyone else have fun. It says three days but for a new author it's more like five and with a contest on now, it'll be about a week, more or less.

Welcome to the writers club and the AH in particular.Drop a link to the story in your sig line so the lazy ones around here can find it.

Hi, Barbarian, and welcome to Literotica and to the AH in particular. What you asked is THE QUESTION that all new writers ask. Tex is right, assuming you use copy and paste to submit your stories.

Read the FAQs.

Ah, THE QUESTION. Jenny would be licking her chops right about now, waiting to pounce.

I miss her.

Welcome to the AH. Approval time depends on sunspot activity.

Welcome to the AH. Approval time depends on sunspot activity.

And chocolate. Lots and lots of chocolate.

A welcome from the little newbie from the good little witch.

I'm sorry but, welcome to the AH first of all.

The Question!

The Answer: Once in a blue moon.

Okay, I now feel like the butt of the BIG JOKE!

My question was really just an afterthought. I posted to say hello to everyone. I do admit that it would have been a good idea to post the link, except how can I do that if it has not been posted yet!

Here is the link....it has been approved, and after what...something like 5 or 6 days. Not too bad.

Another question...bloody pain in the butt to even find it. I will have to start boning up on the tools on this site to find things quicker.

Thanks for the welcome(s)!

That is pretty good time, considering there is a contest in progress. We are not making you the butt of a joke, because almost every new author asks that same question. Those who don't probably read the answer given to some other new authur who has asked it.

I read and voted but I wanted to add a few things. It was a good stroke story, which is my favorite kind anyhow. There were some typos and other things that should have been caught, but there are other things too.

In dialogue, start a new paragraph whenever a different person starts speaking. During the cousins' conversation, you have both of them speaking in the same paragraph.

In a stroke story, you get down and dirty in the narrative. A man does not have a penis; he has a cock. A woman has a clit, not a clitoris. During dialogue, it's best to have people talking as they actually would, which might include speaking of a penis, especially in the circumstances of the story at that time. If she gave him head again, she would have called it a cock.

One other thing, and it's the kind of thing that plagues all authors at one timel or other. Vonda was bare above the waist when she was looking out her window and when she went out onto the roof ledge. How then was she wearing a tee-shirt when she climbed into her cousin's window?

As I said, this is the kind of thing that happens to everybody, a detail suddenly changes and you haven't mentioned it before.

Thanks for your comments. I read through it again and caught one spelling mistake. Not sure how I missed it. I ran the spell check twice and read through it about 12 times.

Thanks for the tip on the dialogue.

With respect to words, this is a personal choice. I chose certain words over others with careful consideration. For instance, a 19 year old girl with little sexual experience, if any, would think of it as a penis, not a cock. I then switch to "cock" later on in the story when she is well into it, to show the change in mood.

With respect to the shirt, I did say "she slipped on her shirt" before going on out the ledge. Perhaps you were too "excited" to notice those words! ;-) (being the best complement)

I noticed you have written a truly impressive collection of stories. I will be sure to check some of them out.

Happy licking...

I own maybe every HOW-TO-WRITE book there is. Most of them are worth what I pay for them, which is pennies. Most of them repeat the lessons all of them contain and you learn not much.

But if you wanna learn how to write read the very best writer's very best stories, and test what you write with real people.

I dont mean post a 1st draft and collect polite plastic trophies from insincere readers, I mean offer your wares as real experience and opinion, and study the responses you get. Because you wont get any plastic trophies when folks think your wares are real. You wont get THATS NICE, DEAR; they'll wanna toss you to the sharks if the idea touchs a nerve.

You devoutly wanna touch nerves.

Make every young girl Lolita, and make her the villain's weakness. Mario Puzo used the trick in THE GODFATHER. It still works.
