What drew you to Lit and why do you stay?

[Alana_]

I've asked this on another site, and it got a good range of replies and discussion.

Ok firstly I don't want some smart ass reply like ' why do you think I joined Lit duh'? That's a given..but there is surely more.
Adult sites attract adults sure, but there has to be areas of the site you actively looked for..
Was it Personals, or just somewhere to hang out of an Adult nature.., or the Picture threads, or was it the Writing?

And why have you stayed? IE Relationships formed, ..friendships or romances..the love of writing..the love of hanging out..filling in time.

It's not a pole thread, and I'm not putting it up on the General board, cause I find that place scary..So answer or don't answer....But be respectful please of one anthers replies.


__________________________________________


For me, I only got interested in erotica about 3 years ago, and just literally one night I googled up the topic, and found my 'other' site. I was stunned/shocked/amazed that a place existed that fitted my needs without demanding anything back other than its members enjoyment..Through there I found Lit, and joined it a few months later for the writing in srp.

Lits huge, much bigger than my other site, and back then I wasn't so weary. I posted sometimes in the general board until one Sunday morning I posted about the economy in my country in a like minded thread, and I got a barrage of hate mail from a bigot in Great Britain who hated the Irish, and seemed to hate Catholics even more.

It went on for a few days, none of which I replied to, but none of which was dealt with either by the staff I brought it up to, so I left. I was actually made feel ashamed of who I was by that man..That won't ever happen again!..
One thing I've learned on the Net since is to hang back, and not jump in until I've made some judgments..Some are right, some are wrong, but that's life, however I'm also usually very lucky in my judgements.

I came back `18 months later approx, because of an invite from another writer who promptly vanished. My first contact then was with CG in the Pearl, who welcomed me and unwittingly proved via chatting there, that my perceptions of Lit was a little unfair.. esp in the Srp forum where I'd enjoyed myself first time around. I met other writers, one of whom I'm still writing with. Marauder 13, and who I would call a friend at this stage.

The reasons I stay..
Writing. I love writing. I love the buzz, I love doing the ordinary things in RL and suddenly having a little longing to visit, even for a few minutes, just to catch on those that interest me .
I stay because I would miss CG and his chivalry,
And definitely M13 too much, cause he makes me work hard, and scares the bejesus out of me ( yeah right).
Also Firmhanded_Daddy cause he's cute and toyboy material if I were hunting.

I'd miss Minxi and her hormonal attacks lol ( that's said fondly sweetie)..and Yeishia for her dreamy outlooks and good soul.

I'd miss my partners way too much, cause I'm blessed to have attracted some of the best writers on the forum in my view, and they get me and respect my limits, and the fact I'm not looking for more than a writing partner.
There's lots of reasons, and it's all about the super people here in the Lounge . I only go to the Lounge now and my threads in SRP, cause while it's all fantasy, outside the forum is just far too aggressive and angry for my liking, and here, sure there's arguments, but there's always someone there to watch your back.

Yep..I ramble.

 

[FuckFantasy]

I'm not sure how candid to be. I fear for making anyone uncomfortable.

I'm pressed for time right now, so I'll be brief:

I came to Lit looking for escapism via roleplay. I figured if there was a giant board for people who knew how to write, I could start PMing them all and poaching them over to my Yahoo for some one-on-one mischief. ;D

I almost left Lit twice, because the drama and the hysteria here hit me over the head in about one week's time. You guys can be fun, and I'm far from perfect, but omg, it gets INSANE here sometimes. I almost fled, and a few people convinced me to stay.

About a month ago, I almost left again. I didn't want to. I felt I had to. I hated leaving my story with Light Ice unfinished. He talked some sense into me while I was being weepy and dramatic. I stick around because of him, and because I want to play on the boards. Don't misunderstand; we're not in some Dom/sub relationship. I call him 'Daddy', exclusively, but we're not like, say, Leo and darling Minx. There's no claim. Just playfulness.

Hopefully, I can start writing with other people soon. Unfortunately, my time is going to grow limited these next few weeks. But in a month or so, if someone was interested in penning a new story with me, I'd like to fit that into my schedule. I love writing, and my attachment to 'A Fall Classic' makes me realize that it means something to me to express myself creatively in this kind of an arena. If only because it gives me a good break from the stresses that come from real life.

And as you can tell, I'm a wordy little bitch. "I'll make this brief" = a nice little half-page of ramble. ;D

 

[Mephistophelily]

I used to write in Yahoo Groups back in college. I was barely 18 and having fun writing these "dirty" stories; barely a few sentences that seemed so naughty to me at the time. I found Lit itself when I graduated college, peeking through stories on the site itself and slowly meandering into the forums. I finally signed up under a name when I got my own place, but then promptly lost that password. (Yay short term memory.)

I made a new name, made a few friends under it, and found myself more chatting with them than writing stories. Don't get me wrong, we had some interesting storylines going too, but we were also talking and keeping each other company. My hubby worked nights, LATE nights, and I was always lonely and bored. These guys lessened that.

That name started doing odd things: locking up, saying I had PM's when nothing was there, weird stuff... So I made this name. I still have a number of friends, though the majority of that original group seems to have either vanished or slowly pulling off the boards. I've made some new friends in the last few years though and have gotten close to them (a little too close, some people seem to think... CHILL, would'ja?), so taking off seems a hard thing to do. I'd miss those weirdos.

I liked writing in roleplay situations just to play characters different from my real boring self. I look at it more like acting than writing. Writing has never been a strong suit of mine, though I think I'm adequate. I chose this forum because it would allow more mature themes to be explored. I didn't come here to act like a playboy and just write a bunch of sex stories. I didn't come here to watch people have orgies in every public thread.

Why do I stay? I ask myself that sometimes. Probably because there are still some people I connect with and some great writers. I guess there's the classic 'trainwreck' logic too, that some of the stuff people do and say here is so ridiculous to me that I can't help but watch. Boredom is a factor, too.

Boop.

 

[Ahren]

Yeah I stay for her too, cause she'd get lost in the sea of crazy without me to anchor her down.

 

[Light Ice]

Honestly?

I came because I like to write erotica. It's a good place for that. I stay because of some of the great writers I run into and have run into.

-SweetP
-MadMissJ
-SiaKlynn
-FFantasy
-Lily
-TearsoftheWorld

And then I stick around because there are chances to point at these boards and laugh. Because a lot of you are completely out of your minds. It's mind-numbing at times and hilarious at others.

And, mixed with all that, are some pretty great snippets with some pretty solid groups of writing partners.

The entire crew of my Zombie thread, slow moving as it is given everyone's various reasons, is amazing.

lily's lounge group? Greatness.

A few of you wacko's elsewhere? You've your moments, too.

 

[Firmhanded_Daddy]

What brought me to Lit?

A friend introduced me to be honest. I started out under another SN made maybe 2 or 3 posts in the Non-SRP forum. My threads got ignored so I gave up on Lit after some browsing. Like Alana_ mentioned I saw other area's of Lit as being confrontational and hostile, I came here to have fun so I left for a while.

Started browsing the SRP section and figured I'd try again.

So what kept me here?

I have taken a break or two now and then as the RL has tugged me away or drama has pushed me away but I'm glad (Most of the time ) that I stuck it out. I write with some amazing people, I have made some good friends, and I get to write. I suppose I should put the rest of this in the "introduce yourself thread" So you can all be bored to tears there! Mwaha.

 

[Veroe]

First it was the stories, but I quickly read all of them that sparked me. The others were good too just not my cup of tea.

That's the real thing that drew me to RP. In the stories I read too many that started out hot and then the writer took in a direction that wasn't so hot (atleast to me) anymore....what a tragedy.

I've tried writing some of my own stories, but it never lasted long. I just couldn't generate the heat on my own.

Well through some poking around I found the RP forum and clicked on one who's title seemed to interest me...If I remember correctly it was one of the versions of Hallowed Halls of Hell or maybe it was a thread PhoenixPrime and Pywakit did called The summoning and claiming of a succubus. Whichever one I read first those threads had some magnificent and sexy, sexy writers on it, and so I lurked the forum for years.

Afraid and emberassed to register, but finally last year (seems like it should be longer) I discovered those books by Joey Hill I'm always raving about, and they really really turned me on and at the same time I was reading a thread (still lurking) by LucianDevine and sinful whispers, that was doing the same thing-no vampires, but the BDSM was the same.

So the realization hit me I could craft a story like these books that turned me on so much with another person, and it would stay hot as hell if I could write with one of these magnificent ladies on here...so...I decided to jump into the pool at last, and have been swimming laps here ever since.

 

[monique_minx]

Awww thanks Alana and FF

And why I am thanking them?
I shall explain my reasons for being here and staying in the same breath as my explanation.

Okay so it started with me reading the Literotica stories, they were an awesome fantasy world for me since I had never found any porn that actually interests me. It just seems fake whereas the written word allows me to imagine the scene as I would see it.

Where the woman is my version of fuckable perfection and the man is everything I want and crave, oozing masculine energy and that hard up against me, unafraid to grip me a little tighter type of guy that is few and far between IRL.

I accidentally stumbled on the forums, I was messing around and saw Literotica personals, I clicked out of curiosity as to what people were saying in there and I found these boards. I joined, I watched, I read and I was quiet for a long time. Especially in the Lounge.

I kicked off my own group thread and let people join as they wished. I got those random worthless 'I'm a chic cut n paste' PM's and I ignored them. But someone had something worthy to say to me, I got my first one on one request for a role play. From Marauder13.

I started reading his threads while we kicked off our own and I was astounded and humbled by his talent. I learned how to get back into writing and role play on his advice. I also got up the courage to enter the Lounge if I saw him in a room since he was pretty much the only one I knew here.

Marauder13 is a great friend and co writer, he lives in my city and when he can convince me he won't murder and bury me on Moreton Island, we might meet IRL and have coffee together along with some probably incredibly creepy conversation. Lol!

So now we are some way down the track, Faebites helped me to my feet again as a submissive, she and I spent endless hours talking about BDSM and yes, I miss her like a mad bitch. We still talk on Facebook from time to time. She got married and moved country which made her too busy for Lit and while I missed the wedding, I congratulated her and told her how sad I was that I couldn't be in attendance. She and I remain close.

So I got into writing again and I talked to people, got to know them personally in PM's, in the Lounge and on the boards. I found Luna to be almost like a mother to me in the way she cared and looked out for me, she has that kind of comforting, protective demeanor and yet she appealed to my darkest fantasies as well. She made me feel safe and dangerous at the same time. I knew her early on and became attached to her instantly.

Bsquad and I had this topsy turvy friendship where I knew he'd become attracted to me and I couldn't allow it to happen. He's that type of guy, the nice, shy guy that I would ruin. I gave him that chance with me against my better judgement and I came out it correct about myself. He came out of it with vicious fantasies of how he'd wreck me.

Enter Leo.

Leo met me at a time where I wasn't certain of what I wanted anymore, where I was becoming sure BDSM wasn't for me, that maybe I wasn't or couldn't be a submissive. I grew very attached to him, I started to crave him and want him like no other and when I was offered his collar. I said no. I didn't want to be some other Lit submissive to this man. I couldn't handle that with him. It scared me how much I wanted to be his and I told him we'd take this slowly.

We did.
For a month.
No commitment and no relationship.
But then, I'm not known for my patience.
I am deeply in love with this man and his abuse leaves me craving him more and more, he's made me such an addict to his dominance.

Of course there's Ausus. No one can deny the best bitches bonded in bondage kind of friendship we have. She and I can bitch about anything, yell and scream at each other, fuck like crazy cunts and end up in a teary hug at the end of it. We've been to the ends of a friendship and back again and we're still crazy for each other, unable to be separated and we wouldn't have our fucked up friendship any other way.

FD, the slag fucker himself. He got his nickname after we were throwing insane insults at each other and we chose the worst two of the bunch. We're so close it hurts and boy does it ever! When we fight, he somehow manages to make me cry every goddamn time. And god, how I hate him for that! But that miserable bastard and I are insanely close, we get each other's sense of humour and we adore each other. It drove me nuts when we fell apart and I couldn't speak to him without crying. I'm glad to have him back in my life.

CT; this one is dear to me and recently vanished. He started calling me Nike once we got closer and I became his Victory Goddess. In return? I wanted him to be a deity of mine and when he showed me a photo of himself, he earned the right to be my Jesus. So of course, my whoring ways left me to be his Mary Magdelene. Lol! I gave into his small requests, he never thought I would but I'd prove him wrong. Of all the things I've ever been asked to do for a man? He had some very small requests to make of me. I miss him a lot.

LitShark. What can I say about this one? His heart if not his mind is always in the right place. It's rare that anyone who doesn't know him personally gets to see his soft side and after a falling out between us, he finally granted me that insight. I've had one of my most intense scenes with him in IM, to say it was incredible to me would be an understatement.

I find that the better I know someone, the more incredible these scenarios become, they don't just become something sexual to me, they hit me on an emotional level. Leo, FD, CT and LitShark have all had this effect on me at some point or another.

So this is why I stay. Because I love making people laugh, I can rarely live my fantasies elsewhere, I enjoy the company of the people here and getting to know them is just a pure bonus.

Fuckmeat. What can I say about this woman? She is my sister submissive in words but in my heart? She's so much more than that. She's the only woman I privately connect to on an intimate level, she reminds me of me with my last girlfriend. Which was RL and not online. She's easy for me to talk to, she leaves me longing for her in so many ways and she just brings out the top in me. So few can do that and she makes it look so easy. To me she is flawless, beautiful and utterly incredible. I am so rarely sexually attracted to a woman and I am attracted to this one in every way.

So does that explain it? I could go on to every person here. Even the ones I have rare moments of interaction with. I like to create intensity when I write and I do that so much better with the people I know well. I stay for them who give me something in return even if they don't know it.

So I like entertaining with my jokes and my slutty behaviour, my writing and my natural explanations. When a whip falls? I scream. I scream like I would scream IRL. When a body is hard pressed against me? I breathe faster, my skin heats up like it would IRL. I do everything as realistic as I can imagine it and if I can't have that moment in my RL when I want it then I'm glad to have it here where I don't have to hide the Nympho Bitch inside.

I'm not undesirable or short of a fuck when I want it IRL but I don't always get it how I want it so it's fun to live that out here and perfect my writing skills. I love getting better and better at it while co writers challenge me so beautifully.

Thank you all for staying and being here

Even Ahren!

Now suffer my wall of text! Mwahahaha!

 

[dragonrazor]

Jeffinator insisted I join to play a male character in one of his group threads.

What keeps me here...hmmm....I suppose it's the various people at this point. Certainly not the RP anymore. I don't get enough of that in .

 

[Alana_]

Glad to see so many of you reply. It makes really interesting reading, and some are cause for smiles which never is harmful. Thanks for joining in, and I hope others post too.

Thanks all.

 

[zydrate]

I stay because Lit tells me too.

I do as Lit says.....

giggles

 

[shizzz]

I married my highschool sweetheart and have hitherto only had sex with two woman. So lit is my way of living out all the things I never got to do. I really enjoy the balance between good writing and sex. I love to see how different people write sex, see what they focus on or exclude. I keep coming back because I keep having fantasies

 

[dragonrazor]

Lol. That sounds like a Jay Naylor joke. This one.

 

[Luna_Wolf72]

I came to Lit to learn more about the urges that I have concerning BDSM...I stayed to learn more about the things that made me gender queer and omni sexual. All of this ultimately led to me being here because THIS is where my on line friends are...

I have found real love here wrapped in the form of my baby mama (Trinique Fire), a best friend. I stay because no matter the drama, most of the people I like come to this place and make it fun...

*shrugs*

I wouldn't be averse to some molestation by the right gal, no. Do you think you can keep up?

 

[monique_minx]

I don't think anyone is gonna read my text wall

I really need to learn to shorten shit lol!

 

[Alana_]

I read it Minxi and all the relevant posts that the thread is about, and thought you expressed yourself wonderfully..

I'm sure everyone mentioned or implied in mentioning will be very touched.

Mostly I was just comparing the length of mine to others I talk too much or ramble or something too much heh!

Lol thanks Alana

Minxi your talking to a natural rambler. I edit almost everything to death because I just run away with a subject, and murder my point. So I do understand.

I for one personally love reading your lengthy personal post, as it gives a lovely insight to you..

*Furious blush*

Thanks, to be honest, that's one of the reasons I created my Lit Diary. I just wanted something, somewhere to be a personal version of who I am but most of what I write somehow comes out sexual! Lol!

 

[Niriate]

I read it all, and it was touching to read at times.


As for me.. I kinda got here by accident.

I've been interested in BDSM ever since I started to do SRP's. I don't know how I combined the two, but my twisted mind sorta connected the two together.
I'd also been an avid reader of sexual stories, but then on a different site.

Skip ahead about 3 years, to May this year.
A friend once gave me a link to one of the thousands of stories here, after I probably complained about a lack of good ones on the other site.
Being the inquistive lass that I am, after reading the story, I came back the next day and started to explore the site some more. About a week after finding the Lit site, I decided to register to the forum.

I had been part of a different BDSM site, a national site for youngsters, but that really didn't go very well, since it was a very small community filled with cliques, naturally hard for a new person to really get into.

Anyway.. after sticking to the Author's Hangout for the first month orso, I made the descision for myself that I was no author and would probably never be one, so I moved over to the RP section.

Queue Scarletnym, Gaia, Last_Rider and Chgris. While I did not meet the four of them at the same time, they were the ones that were the deciding factors for me to stay here. I consider all of them close friends.
And most of you will have seen my relation with Scarlet

I stay here for the friends that I have made, for the company of the lounge people and the general atmosphere. Eventhough I'm one of the few with no BDSM relation.
