What is your "Lit Legacy"?

[PennLady]

One of the big bombs was stone cold with former nfl bust Brian Bosworth

I liked him in millenium

I think most people remember Henriksen from Aliens and Millennium, which really isn't too shabby a legacy (to sort of get back on topic ).

I think I would like to be remembered by my Civil War series "Brothers in Arms"

There were no fags in the Civil War, they stayed home selling funeral wreaths.

Ah.... I see you've met our pet troll.

Slap him on the nose with a newspaper. That usually works unless he's bored or feeling left out.

For me it might be this:

http://www.literotica.com/s/diary-of-a-faithful-wife

It's my most-read story (over 32,000 views in three months), and my second lowest-rated (3.39). I wrote it after my first encounter with the LW crowd. I was feeling beaten up and generally horrible. I was staying in a sleazy motel, the kind with no HBO but free porn. I knocked this out in one night, putting in every filthy thing I could think of, cackling maniacally the whole time (I may have been a little drunk), and submitted in LW. The comments were so violent that the site administrators took down most of them.

After that I retreated to the gentle world of BDSM, where my characters whip each other lovingly.

With an intro like that, how could one not read it? I can just see you sitting there with a drink, laughing to yourself as you wrote it. This background made this story even funnier, and it was a well-deserved kick to the crotch of the ball-less LW trolls.

Thanks, CB. I noticed that the score on that story took a little jump after I mentioned it here. I guess the group that read it first is a bit different from the one that hangs out in AH.

Of course your Lit legacy changes as you keep writing.

If you had asked me 8 years ago when I only had a handful of stories up it would have been Mandy's Halloween Suck or Treat. Then it changed to ShipWrecked with Mom and Esther. Still my most read story. I just rewrote it. It really sucked. LOL I don't know why people liked it? LOL

Then it became the Busty Babysitter. My most favorited story...hands down that's my legacy but then.. my two new stories are skyrocketing. with 20 comments and 60,000 hits since Friday. about 500 votes. So those two may become my Lit Legacy but then I'm writing two new ones so...LOL you just never know.

I've thought about this and held off posting a reply because I didn't have a clue what to say. When I look at my story page, nothing pops out as "the one" people would associate with me more than the others. Very little of what I write now posts to Lit even though some of it would fit category-wise.

So my official answer is: no clue.

I have no idea

which of my submissions be, it a standalone or series, I would be remembered by. "Helping out her friend" has the most views, but "Us and the waitress" has the highest score.

I had 15 minutes of fame by virtue of being a female writer in the Loving Wives category, writing stories where there was no cheating and everyone left happy. But I deleted all my stories except two. My reasons wouldn't interest anyone, but it wasn't because of the hatred. It was due to personal migration.

Now I am a one hit wonder. My writing is...juvenile. It is embarassing. It is popular. I didn't mean for that to happen. But I can't stop writing just like a happy kid can't stop singing. I am as annoying as fuck, even to myself.

And I associate Lovecraft with foot stories.

 

[Ravishing]

Personally I'd have to hazard I wouldn't be remembered.

Which I'm fine with. It's not the comment on here most would expect. But the few that used to know me, might almost expect such.

My writing is a selfish thing, it's for me. Yet posted here at Lit, because I've never been one to believe that those who'd read my works in Real Life, were serious when they said it was decent.

Personally I still think it's all forgettable. I just refuse to remove it.

And why should you remove it? They were you as a writer - then.

Some of my posted stories are very dated and flawed. I ought to remove or rewrite them, or just edit them substantially.

I won't. They represent my writing at an earlier stage of my development. I will leave them exactly as they are because I would have real difficulty getting back into the mindset I had 10, 12 or even more years ago.

The best I can do, slowly, is to complete unfinished stories. I have achieved that with a couple and I am very aware of those that are outstanding. Sometimes I have to re-read the published parts before I can continue. My usual reactions are 'Did I write that?' and 'What was I thinking?'.
