What is your "Lit Legacy"?

I dunno. I've got some high scoring ones but what people would remember me for? Probably my avatars. Or the sig pic! :D

I really have no idea what people might remember me for... Oh well. Guess I'd better write more stuff. Or repost old stuff.

I dunno long term for you, but for me it's "Rhythm and the Blue Line". When I see PennLady, that's what I think right now. I was floored. And it was trying something outside my usual venue.

So... yeah.
 
Obviously either Blood of the Clans, or Redwood Nine. Both are doing well in their cats. :)
 
If you were to end your career right now, this is my guess as to what story the literary scholars of the future will associate with you... :)

Which career are we talking about here? The one in which two people read what I write or the one in which two people listen when I speak? Because the former could certainly end the latter. :eek:

Thanks for making me laugh. That was great. :D
 
My best reviewed story is still Wingman... Or at least it was, last I checked.

My "Lit Legacy" would have far less to do with stories and far more with the many beloved friends I met here and still keep in touch with... or even share a domicile.

It's not about how many lives I touch, but the quality of the contact.
 
Legacy? In under 11 months of writing fiction? Ha. Probably BIG BANANA and UNDER HIS EYES, my most-read and lowest-voted stories. Ask me again next year.
 
Yours has to be Rhythm and the Blue Line.

Thanks. :) Then I wonder, is it memorable because it's good and enjoyable, or because it's the longest thing I have posted? Doesn't matter, I guess, as long as people remember. :)

I'll probably be remembered as that guy who takes reasonably good stories and fucks the characters over for no good reason at the end.
 
Hm. I"m not sure. Very possibly "Shopping for Sex Toys at Walmart".
 
I remember people rather than stories - and for their classiness; PennLady and Glynndah have it, as do a few others, mainly women - mebbe VM and OG for the guys.

But I remember far more people for their complete lack of class - thank goodness - sour is as much needed as sweet.;)
 
No idea assuming I even had one. My stories are all over the map.
 
Hmm. I could add thoughts I suppose.

PennLady I've touched on. Rhythm and the Blue Line. I don't like romances, it's just not my thing. I heard you talking about it and thought what the hell. Tried it and loved it actually. So to write something that connects to the reader even beyond preferences is a strong trait for an author. That's your legacy for me. To build bridges with quality.

LC68. Yours is reality for me. Even you have spoken of your own ability of "down to earth writing". Whether its reality with SWB, the kind that is real whether you want it or not, or just an easy going read that's very relatable, your legacy for me is the ability to feel like I'm reading something real and plausible, without jumping through hoops. Your writing is like sitting on the couch or riding a bike. It's natural, relatable, and in a language I easily understand. It's a natural talent that is appealing without trying. Kudos.

patientlee... yours is weaving. You may already know this. But it's a rare ability to take so many concepts, blend them into the same soup, and make them taste like they belong together. Every time I read something of yours, I always think "well I'm not interested in the concept" and then you deliver. You have a spellbinding technique that screams quality. I'm pretty sure you could make people fall in love with anything. That's your legacy for me.

Pilot. There's a flair of precision to your writing. I don't give a fuck what people say. There's this complexity to your setup that is surgical, and when it gets to the sex, it surprises you with bluntness. GM isn't exactly mainstream, even now, but when I read yours, it has this air of normalcy about the content that I forget the world around me. You make man on man seem just as natural as man on woman. You don't merely assume the sex is normal and found everyday, you insist and prove it. It's an aquired taste like beer, but I'll drink anyday because it pays off.

I dunno if you're there but Cruel2BKind (or however that's spelled). There's this nastiness, this "I don't wanna look but I gotta" to some of your work. Let's be honest, some of it ain't easy to read, and yet I come away feeling this incredible epiphany because of your writing. It's like a "glad I was there for that ride" kind of thing. That's powerful. You ride the line of wanting to look, and wanting to look away. That's great shit. Doesn't rake in viewers, but rakes in the right ones.

That's just a few. Great thread I think. Sometimes, we need to step back and examine what we've left in our wake.
 
I don't get a review SC? :D

Fine, I'll just be scary at Halloween.:eek:

I prefer salty with my sweet. Especially when I have PMS.
 
Checking the numbers, I seem to have made the most impact with my "Meeting The Master trilogy". In other words, I stand to be remembered for deceit, betrayal, sexual power play, pain and crazy sex-cults. I SO need to write more stories to off-set this trend before I croak or I shall go down in history as "Mr. Paddle" or something... :(
