Stop me if you've heard this one before

Lit is a wonderous and exciting playground filled to the brim with sexy pictures, ideas, and stories. Which makes me think has every possible story idea been used? Now, I know this isn't even possible. There's always room for different takes on old ideas, a new twist on the classic tropes, and some new idea is always hiding under a rock waiting to be uncovered. But with all the babysitters, and school girls, and dads and moms, and strangers, and awkward situations, and Santas you start to think well maybe it's gotta be true.

So, unless your story doesn't have magician aliens with ten foot penises from planet "yet to be named" or weregnomes from Dimension X who sneak into unsuspecting women's house and lick, suck, and nibble their victims to orgasm then you're just like 99.9% of the people writting on Lit. But maybe thats not a bad thing, considering the alternative.

My question to you is do you every feel this way?

Ps. Feel free to use any one of those ideas.

I've found that I can read any story out there and compare it to something else, TV shows & movies as well. So long as it isn't word for word and I find it interesting, then I don't mind reading similar ideas. And, for your alien and magic stuff, I could always find some Hentai.

I read somewhere that there are only about a dozen or so distinctly different story lines for most TV shows and that most shows are a mixture or retreatment of one or more of them.

Probably the same for here.

It's not a yes or no question; it's a matter of degree.

On the one hand, most stories can be lumped into a small number of categories, tropes, or cliches. On the other end of the scale, each story has things that make it unique, although these may be very small things, such as the writing style of the author or a preference to say "glad" instead of "happy" and such.

Which only means that you can both agree and disagree, all at the same time, with the idea of a finite number of story possibilities. Yes, most every story will probably remind you of a dozen other stories. But it will also have some important characteristics of its own that make it worthy of standing with the previous ones. As a writer, this is very liberating: you don't have to worry about coming up with a totally new idea. You just have to focus on making the story your own in your own special way.

The reality is it's probably been a few centuries since anybody had a truly original idea. Stop me if you've heard this one before. A baby is put a vessel to and sent away, the baby is found raised amongst a different culture and eventually learns about his roots and becomes a hero. Am I taking about Kal-el the Superman? Kakkarot the Saiyan? Moses the Jew?

Here's one scientists messing around something they probably shouldn't created a misunderstood monster and then lots of people tried to kill it. Spice? The Incredible Hulk? Frankenstein? I could do this all day mind you.

So yes every story has been told and honestly between the Bible and ancient mythology most of them were first told in the BC era. As Carn correctly points out though there is a lot of wiggle room within these stories. Dragonball Z and Superman are entirely different stories despite the loads and loads of similiarities.

Thank you hssh345! I like to think sex and comedy go hand in hand. I'll do my best to continue delivering the comedy gold

You really are wasted on story ideas.

Yes, comedy and sex do go together fairly well. I think the "problem" you have is that your ideas tend to fall into that wonderful gray area where they kinda sorta sound like serious ideas.

I'm not sure where you're going. Are you looking for story ideas or people agreeing they're sick and tired of the same repetitive crap?

None of the above. Trust me I have ideas in spades. I just wanted a build up so I could introduce the topics of well endowed magical aliens and weregnomes who sexually gratify unsuspecting women.

Post your story premises, or you're on the wrong forum, Einstein.

If you look at my story posts you will see they are just that, story ideas. I always have a premise and plot. But I do appreciate the input.
