How much do small details get to you?

@ loquere -

Have you been in the closet huffing the piss dribbles in Pilot's high heels again, dude?

Your last comment made even LESS sense than they normally do.

They probably are still laughing so hard that they can't type through the tears of mirth. I'm still laughing from when you mentioned werewolf and condom in the same sentence on the forum.

I know, I'm still laughing from when I first thought of the idea. When I first had the idea I rolled all over the floor and writing it up was quite difficult I was laughing so hard. So I was kinda surprised the Amazon reviewers didn't ping me for it. They did for just about everything else! See how much enjoyment you got from just thinking about a little bit of safe sex writing? You should try it too, it gives me absolutely hours of fun.

Huffing, you know I had no idea what that was until a couple of years ago I sent my nephew to the hardware store for some spray paint and he said they wouldn't sell it to him because he wasn't old enough.

when I went there I asked what the issue was and they explained the huffing thing to me and that anyone buying spray paint had to be over 18.

Jeez kids these days. We only sniffed glue!

Ah, Miss Sunshine (Safe-bet Usurper) appears, the woman who not only has no oar in the water as far as erotica writing goes but even hides behind an account that falsely indicates that she does.

I'm not exactly obsessive compulsive, BUT, I do have a knack for noticing the simplest things that are out of place, catching my eye.

Oh, I write quite a bit of safe sex into my stories--to a degree more than I really think it warrants. I reviewed and expanded on an old eXcessica e-book (serialized here as "House on Park") recently for relaunch and found myself writing in more condom use than was in the original.

I don't write werewolfs, though, as I see that as just an end play around bestiality. If I do in the future, I'll certainly think of putting a condom on him. Maybe two--one for each ear.

I usually do too (took exercises for being able to do that in editorial courses--you know, like catching words doubled at the end of a line and then at the start of the next line) with the notable exception that I often can't see the most obvious of goofs when reviewing my own writing.

Exactly! Finally someone who gets me

I have some ocd in me and my wife screws with me all the time by switching up the order of the tv remotes or moving things around slightly on my desk.

She then sits back an watches to see how long it takes me to see it.

Once I caught onto her I would try to pretend I didn't notice or care, but eventually I would give in and move it back to where it belongs.

That does not seem to extend to my writing however, as no matter how many times I look I miss things.

Here, on the other hand I can't help but notice when someone makes a typo in a post.

Agreed. I'm guilty of it plenty of times. Mostly, I get lost in the idea, or point of what I'm typing and publish it before even checking through. And believe me, I learned fast to check my typos. You can take a harsh lesson on that from the GB. They'll jump on your ass so quick for misspelling something, it's ridiculous.

Right!

You can be sexist, racist and all around ignorant over there, but don't you dare misspell something!

Haha I know!
Because the whole point of coming to a sexual exploration website, is to be an old man who sits there and bitches and groans at other over-aged men who have no sex life about politics, news, sports, and anything else OTHER than sex.
Yeesh! What is this world coming to these days?

I suspect a lot of werewolf stuff is dreadful. I practically opened a bottle of champagne when one of the one star reviewers wrote that my story made her put her whole collection of werewolf erotica to the back of her bookshelf!

I did briefly consider reading some Twilight and whatever in order to inform writing my stories but I couldn't be bothered. I wrote mine against the Hunks Who Happen to be Hirsute grain. I entirely agree about the bestiality thing, I think having a werewolf boyfriend would not be like having a very hunky guy who happens to be hairy, it would be more like having a really great pet dog. That's what some reviewers hated about my story although others seem to have enjoyed it LOL, especially those with a sense of humour.

You must use a dancing squid, surely. I brought the dancing squid off the safe sex thread into my werewolf series, I couldn't resist. My other writing group loved it. When that chapter posts I'll put the extract up here for you.

You just described all the top posters there!

But at least its the "general board" which allows for all that. What's worse is we got a few like that here in the "writers forum"

And there are some damn hot pic threads over there like Three's company and good and rough. It was a link to "Cocksuckers" that lead me to that forum for the first time.

 

[NaokoSmith]

Sorry, LC! Went a bit off topic.

Anyway, if anyone had said: That scene when the werewolf gets the condom out (stop laughing Pilot!) is completely ridiculous, I would've listened carefully and done what the Hell I liked while thanking them sincerely for their feedback. I do like to have critical feedback, I find it helpful in considering how to shape my writing so it gets across to people better. It's a whole heap better than no feedback at all.

Believe me, I know the top posters there. Haha. Ever since I was shunned in my first time posting on the GB, I've upped my game and now I go to pretty much give them all a run for their money. To show them, that a pretty, smart, younger woman WITH a sex life, can be right up there with them. And, of course, to give us playgrounders a good name .

And to give them something to look at.

I have a pic thread too

But that's not the same. First off as long as its consistent with the story that's fine.

Second of all you're already writing about werewolves so out on a limb reality wise already so what's the big stretch he uses a rubber?

My only take would be the same eye roll I get whenever someone breaks out a condom in a porn story, but is purely my opinion and nothing I would try to stick someone with.

No, I know, I was just trying to get back on topic, LOL. I work hard to make it a smooth part of the story and nobody ever complained so I hope I get it right. (You have to pinch the tip, don't you? ).

 

[loquere]

Hmmm, maybe bad 70's porn was something I told someone else or maybe I said it to you somewhere here on a thread.

The "cock inspiring lips" I remember. Including the it made me say "what" and the good "feel" just the 70's line I got mixed up.

I don't recall actually saying that much in general, but I obviously did.

On my end I don't believe I saved any of that I usually don;t keep a lot of correspondence on my lap top just in case. Maybe I should in case someone who sent me something gets famous and I can say "I was there say the beginning!"

I save all my correspondence, either on a laptop or on backup. I also record most of my conversations, I do inform participants though. It's a professional thing.

As an over-aged man I love to read how the youngsters discount us, unfortunately most of these critics age, too, and wakeup before they know it...old haystacks.

I'm sure. However, I'm not a critic. I'm actually a friendly, and open person when you get to know me and actually have a conversation with me instead of bashing. And I'm young, I'm in prime, and I'm enjoying it.

Most of the guys I encounter on the GB are assholes. They don't have a friendly bone in their body. I just like to kind of turn things upside down a bit when I can. Ya know, get their knickers in a wad.

No offense to you, you haven't done anything.

No, I did nothing, I made a generalization as you did. Most of the guys on the GB ARE assholes! And I get your point, I do. I'm infamous for my attacks, so I fault no one for doing what I do Your comment simply reminded me of some experiences.

 

[i_would]

When such things happen in my stories (and yes, there have been a few places where the character removes her panties twice or was lying down, but lies down again in the heat of the moment, etc.), I submit an edited version as soon as possible because nothing really makes me cringe as much as such things happening in my stories.

You never had an instance where clothing mysteriously disappeared and got out of the way?

 

[NekoParks]

Trivial detail -- I was watching Castle the other week, and the plot was that the title character's daughter was kidnapped. He is a mystery writer and "Castle" is his pseudonym. In an early episode, season one or two, it's revealed as part of the plot that this last name is something else. When his daughter is taken, her name shows up on a list of people as "Castle, Alexis." I said, wait, no... and I bet I'm about the only one who noticed. Didn't ruin the episode, but man I remember small stuff sometimes.

PennLady--
I reacted the same way... I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that Alexis's last name was wrong. I'm always noticing continuity errors in films.
