Your Future Ruined by Literotica?

[3113]

Thinking on Brideget and how her career was ruined by the stories she posted on Lit made me start to wonder...was there any future I might try for, or end up in, that my stories here could ruin? Could any of us end up in her situation? An alarming thought. I believe we ought to gaze into the crystal ball of possibilities and see how likely it could be--and, thus, be prepared.

Write up a few paragraphs detailing a scenario where your future self is destroyed by the discovery that you posted free erotica on the internet for anyone and everyone to read.

Don't think of this as a mere writing exercise, but as a way of helping you to decide what actions you might want to take now, in the present, before it's too late. Like, writing yourself a reminder so that you don't forget that you've got erotic stories posted on this site. Like making sure you don't go out drinking with a future jealous rival and spill the beans about writing erotica. You might even want to consider "silencing" any fellow Lit writers that you met in person when you visited Chicago, so that there is no chance that they will ever reveal your dirty little secret (nothing personal, of course).

So what do you see in your future?

Having less future than past, I feel quite safe. I don't reveal my name or my face , have no political ambitions, am already known as an odd duck and am two years away from retirement. And I have tenure. Nobody can to anything to me or for me because of what I write here. And that's on purpose.

Isn't this a open door/gone horse sort of thing. Bridget was one of "us" at some point, and it's happened to her.

What? Bare all so you can play Bridget's friend with whoever bites?

I've revealed enough of myself that I'm compromised, certainly.

And I remember Bridget.

Some people are such fuckwads.

I am hoping for an Oprah bookclub selection.

A fictional autobiography ought to do it.

I don't consider writing porn something to be ashamed of; my definition of said would be doing something that hurts others. I like to think my writing please some people. I don't keep my activities a secret. Everyone in my uni class knows what I am up to. I shot them the link, for Goddess sake. Secrets have power. I try not to have ANY.

 

[sr71plt]

Don't disclaim too loud too long; someone might decide you are hiding something.

 

[English Lady]

I think my vicar might change to a funny colour if he discovered my erotica writing but I don't think I'd be kicked out of the church, in fact I'm pretty certain I wouldn't be.

My family know what I write, well Nanna doesn't know the details but I've heard the jokes she tells so I don't think she'd mind awful much.

And apart from the odd friend I've lost contact with, everyone else knows about my writing. So my outing wouldn't be terribly explosive. *L*

As with Bronze, the point is pretty moot. Your linked pictures are floating all over the world.

Ask me anything. I learnt the hard way about keeping secrets. When I was younger I had stacks and they got out and it was terrible. I have none now and am really honest with others and I sleep much sounder at night knowing nothing is gunna sneak up on me.

 

[sr71plt]

Yep, the longer you disclaim, the more suspicious it sounds.

Well, it's certainly an open barn door that we've written and posted the stories. But I think some of the horses can yet be saved if we take a moment to gaze into the future and see if there's any chance we might regret doing that an how we might minimize the damage of our thoughtless actions

What? Bare all so you can play Bridget's friend with whoever bites?

Who me? No, no. Never crossed my mind....

 

[Liar]

Nah. Some of my friends knows. And my family is not too uptight.

I'm a freelance journalist and copy writer. I might lose a customer or two. But my main bread-and-butter client also hires photographers who openly own, produce and run a porn site, and one whose other gig is to shoot "page 3" type girls for men's zines. So I think I'm pretty safe there.

I'd rahter it stays a secret though, since it's not their business. I choose what parts of my life which people get to be part of. I don't discuss my penis with co-workers and random strangers, just because I have one.

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

The real danger comes from the people you make friends with here. By their own disclosure many are unstable, and plenty post under the influence.

 

[DeeZire]

Considering my history, being found out as a porn writer would be insignificant. However, if writing porn could disqualify me from getting Medicare and Social Security, (as I'm sure many conservatives would be happy to legislate) than I'd have something to worry about.

 

[vrosej10]

Yep, the longer you disclaim, the more suspicious it sounds.

You don't have to believe me, but I am telling the truth. Secrets are poison.

 

[oggbashan]

I'm retired and have been for sometime. I was self-employed (and retired) for 10 years so no employer is going to be worried.

I'm active in local politics (with a lower case "p") but since one of our councillors was outed for being a porn star as a student and increased his majority at the following two elections I'm not worried about the community's reaction.

But I would rather keep oggbashan and real life slightly apart...

PS. And who would want to be associated with Fag-Ash Lil?

My future is going to consist of living in public housing and on a disability for the rest of my life. Sometime in the next year, my angel will be moving in with me.

I had some aspirations of writing professionally but those got shot in the head and left in a ditch earlier this year.

My guess is you were toast when you sucked your first breath of air.

 

[jomar]

I would be impeached if anyone knew.

I find that if youre congruent about who you are people generally leave you alone. They climb on your back when you sail under a false flag.

Pretty much.

 

[Boota]

My mainstream writing, and a lot of my music, with my real name on it is far more offensive than anything I've ever posted here. I'm an open book. A filthy and offensive book, but open.
