For Those Of Us Bold Enough

[Kantarii]

For those of us bold enough to submit stories to this site, if you could only publish one story you have submitted, which one would you choose and why?

 

[Hypoxia]

The next one.

Then I can die contented.

Honest answer, none of them. I have two stories, not erotic, that I have written, one has been shared with a very limited audience, and one I have considered posting here, that I have considered selling them together on Amazon.

"Some Hero" (The one with limited audience) is about a high school senior that along with his best friend stopped a mass shooting in their school. Many lives were lost, including his neighbor that was secretly in love with him, and his journey down the rabbit hole of depression and anxiety. This story would require some major rewrites, I originally wrote it 15 or so years ago and there are current event references.

"The Knife" is about a man picking up a rare find in a pawn shop for a great deal. He obsesses over it for his trip home, that comes to a sudden halt...

The description reminds me of the Columbine school shooting. Suddenly, I want to hear "Stray Bullet" by KMFDM..... That's badKant

 

[EverLux]

My Summer Lovin' entry. I smeared my heart all over the pages for that one, and I'm extremely happy with how it turned out

And what about you, Kantarii?

I wrote it a few years after that. The reason I haven't posted it anywhere is that is exposes some darkness I was living through at the time. That story was therapy writing, and is part of the reason that I still like doing it, good at it or not.

My first choice would be "The Beautiful People" but since it's an incest story it would be limited to publishing sites.

So I'll say "Southern Heritage." It's one of my best efforts.

[lovecraft68]

I've published a lot of things that started here.

If I had to limit it to one. I would choose Abigail.

Why? Because its full of rapists and sex traffickers who die horrible bloody deaths as their real life counterparts should.

I resisted the urge to dedicate it to "all my friends in the non consent section"

And what about you, Kantarii?

I am partial to my storyline "A Slut's Triangle" by far based on my more experience writing style.

But, I have undertaken the slow process of updating my storyline "My Brother's Ghost". Grammatically, it is horrible, the first storyline I submitted to the site, and badly needs to be updated to my current writing style.

Of my few storylines, "My Brother's Ghost" will always be my favorite. I would love to see it published as a short story one day since it is a story I can personally relate to being a transvestite. It might take me the rest of the year, but I will edit and reedit "My Brother's Ghost" until it is perfect in my eyes for the special place it holds in meaning to me. Kant

If you smeared your heart all over that one, I'm going to have to go read it before the blood dries on it nothing more exciting than a warm, romantic, story that has been smeared by a heartKant
Might be this weekend though.

 

[GoldenCojones]

Probably "The Summoning" but I would put it in SF/F instead of Group

LOL Sadly, if you're expecting blood and gore, you will be sorely disappointed.

I'll have to include that in my next story, though, and see how it does in Romance
(So very much kidding. Blood is icky.)

For those of us bold enough to submit stories to this site, if you could only publish one story you have submitted, which one would you choose and why?

Hmmm...I don't know if this applies to me. I pulled a bunch of them and published them. I then wrote some more and published them. I then wrote a bunch of non-erotic stories and published them.

I have written more that I published here. Then published elsewhere.

I'm currently in the process of writing four more for publication...elsewhere.

I do, when I'm in the mood, have two in the works for here.

The one that started me on the way was God Mother. The first chapter is still up here. The rest is for sale elsewhere.

For those of us bold enough to submit stories to this site, if you could only publish one story you have submitted, which one would you choose and why?

I would choose Maggie's Gift because of the emotional message the story tells. The non-erotic piece took first place in the 2009 Winter Holidays contest.

Great question, and very difficult to answer. Your favorite story, your best story, and the story that readers enjoy the most are probably not all the same, after all.

If push came to shove, I did a story called "Roses Are Red" (published here last year, although originally written in 2013) that I like to hold up as an example. It's not the best thing I've ever written, but it's cheeky, scary, subversive, fun, and lets me play with folklore, plus I've always been a little proud of the final sentence.

It also has a particular distinction of being relatively popular with readers on the couple of sites where it features, but also being a bit divisive. I like that it (apparently) found an audience despite being a potentially disturbing piece of work. So there's that.

 

[ElectricBlue]

Rope and Veil

Coz it's erotica with a social conscience and inclusiveness for people with disabilities.

 

[Carnal_Flower]

My gay male story set in L.A. I think its commercially ready. I've had lots of readers tell me it should be turned into a movie. Ha ha. But it is cinematic and could easily be, in a perfect world, starring Matt Bomer.

Yes, I can see him in your story, but what about the second lead?

 

[oggbashan]

Like Hypoxia I'd probably choose 'the next one' or 'the next good one' but of my stories already posted on Literotica I would say this one:

Christmas Truce

 

[Carnal_Flower]

Craig? I don't know. Brad Pitt in his hey day?

Yes, I can see him in your story, but what about the second lead?

In a perfect world, everything would star Matt Bomer

 

[Carnal_Flower]

Lol . . . so true

If I could pick a series as my "story," it would be A Gift from Outer Space. 7 chapters, enough to be a novella. I had a lot of fun with it and the story had a nice pace. It ended on an emotional high note with a marriage proposal. I wish I could write in that whimsical way today. I tried to write a sequel series but I found myself unable to write the ending I had envisioned. I still have 3 unpublished chapters sitting here in various stages of revision.

If I could pick just one submission, just 3 little Lit pages, I would choose the first chapter of The J-Girl Model. I took a lot of time to develop the main character, a Japanese lady with rather sizeable tits who becomes a bikini model. She tries to maintain a professional distance from her photographer, even though she was attracted to her from the start. The last scene is in the jacuzzi where the girls are sipping champagne, they play a question and answer game, and the sexual tension bubbles over and then they are sipping champagne out of each others laps etc.

Well you did ask why. I like the scene and the buildup to it. A lot of my other stories have scenes I enjoy and all kinds of build up, but they include an element of pathos, or sadness, or what have you. The downer kinda takes them out of the running.

Chase Cooder was a fun romp, but I'd probably choose White Trash.

Why? Because it was a hoot to write and it still makes me laugh.
