Geek Pride Day! Official Support Thread

[Etaski]

Not sure if I'm glad to hear that or not...

Heh heh heh. *hides Drow whip* I don't know why you're nervous.

Care to offer the title and description under which your story is submitted? And approximately how many words, if you like. I like an informative and anticipatory Playbill.

 

[ProxyBlack]

Certainly, Oh Author of a series I'm loving steadily working through

Dirty Play - Plenty of action both on and off the Blood Bowl pitch...

A SF/Fantasy somewhere @4k words.

 

[Etaski]

Excellent! I went ahead and updated the current list on the previous page.

And FYI, if you click on the Post # (in this case, #424), you get a page just for that post, the address for which can be used as a hyperlink anywhere if you want to let your readers know more about the event.

It's also the trick to do once we have a final compilation with direct links to each story.

We now have a Cool Dozen stories confirmed. Who is going to claim #13, I wonder?

Ah another Games Workshop initiate.

*Proudly flies the Chaos flag*

Oh my god! Thank you, ProxyBlack, I'm so glad!

I totally missed that the first time. Was hyper-focused on seeking your title and updating the List before hurrying out to see Deadpool 2.

....now my Geek-out Meter has the needle buried right now and it will take a while to come back down to the safe zone. God, I love Deadpool!!

Demonettes. Demonettes everywhere...

Can't say I blame you in the slightest

 

[Blind_Justice]

Demonettes. Demonettes everywhere...

I've always wondered... why is Slannesh considered to be evil exactly? What's wrong with an eternity of unearthly pleasure? *drools*

@Etaski: I'm hearing a lot of good things about Deadpool 2. Loved the first to bits - VOLTRON!!

 

[LoquiSordidaAdMe]

God, I love Deadpool!!

Just got back from seeing it.

*** SPOILER ALERT ***

"Hi, Wade."

"Hi, Yukio."

I laughed out loud every single time.

 

[NotWise]

What's wrong with an eternity of unearthly pleasure? *drools*

The question reminded me of a classic porn flick named For the Love of Pleasure (1979). Jamie Gillis's character (Simon Black) is a burglar shot during an attempted robbery (there are shenanigans involved). He goes to a pleasant, cloudy place where Shiva (Annette Haven) presents him with every pleasure he can imagine.

Simon imbibes in food, drink and sex until he can't go on. Then Shiva presents him with a high school senior who he has to deflower. He can't, but Shiva induces him to it anyway. Afterward, Simon is exhausted and tells her "I don't belong in heaven."

Shiva replies, "Simon, whoever said this was heaven?"

Interesting. One man's paradise is another's hell.

To give a bit more context: The other three Chaos Gods in the Warhammer universe (Khorne, Tzeentch and Nurgle) govern the domains of Bloodshed, Magic and Pestillence, respectively. An entity which coerces with and promises acts of debauchery doesn't seem so bad in comparison.

Such bad taste - the nod to Sharon Stone... there are some things you don't want to forget, some things you do. I laughed a lot, but want to forget that scene now. Whoa!

To be fair, Slannesh is God of excess in all forms, not just drunken lechery. Also, wiped out 99.99% of an entire species when he/she/it was born... which was fun.

Really need to find time to go see DP2 soon, as well. That, or post more stories.

 

[TANSTAAFL58]

I'm Up!

I'm up! Uh, that is, I got up. No I mean I submitted my story. It is titled "The Lieutenant".

Now I guess I wait.

Ah, the Golden Age, when porn was Hot AND the movies had a plot and characters!

That story was also a Twilight Zone. A gambler dies, and goes to a casino where he always wins. When he complains that it's all too easy in Heaven, his guide asks "What makes you think this is Heaven?" The gambler might have been Jack Klugman.

Is that a Geek full-circle?

 

[The_Comte_dAmour]

Long time listener, first time caller. I submitted a story Friday evening for this event -- I do so hope things were done according to the appropriate protocol... It says it's still pending approval.

Regardless of whether it is approved for the event, I hope you all enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it, and I look forward to reading everyone else's submissions.

Is this your first submission to Literotica, Comte? Stories by first-time authors usually get a little more scrutiny and take a bit longer to approve.

 

[ProxyBlack]

Looking forward to seeing what you've written, Comte

I plan to search the "Geek Pride" tag once the stories go live to try to pull together a Complete List, with links, here at this thread. Then all of us can put the link in your Author Bio page or wherever to give easy direction to the stories in this event past the first week.

At this rate, it will take longer than a week to get to read them all!

 

[Etaski]

I'm up! Uh, that is, I got up. No I mean I submitted my story. It is titled "The Lieutenant".

Congrats! And yes...muah-ha-ha, now...the waiting.

Agreed with Loqui; first time authors can take a little longer ordinarily. I hope you put "Geek Pride" in both the Note Field (for admin) and as a tag? That will help the admin prioritize.

But don't worry, since you've given me the heads up this was your intent, I can look for you to at to the final list of links, whenever it posts.

May I know the title and (ideally) description I should be looking for?

 

[The_Comte_dAmour]

Sink me for a deuced fool, of course I can list the title, and I daresay I should have listed it earlier. You must think me an absolute boor.

The story is entitled “One More Time”, and the description reads, “A noble necromancer, a courtesan, a lost love...”

I fear the necromancer is noble in title and bearing only...

(And yes, this is my first story here, and I did give it the Geek Pride tag as well as putting that in the Notes field.)

I really hate that small smartphone keyboard...

"does that mean"... I can type. Really, I can. I'm just device challenged.

I feel your pain. Touchscreens are a bitch.

Time for direct neural interfaces. Writing a thought spell checker will be soooooo much fun.
