My first series on Lit was LW, and for a while I revisited the genre, posting twenty stories in the category. After my divorce, they faded away without conscious decision on my part. Oddly, the stepdaughter vibe continued til 2015.

Now, it seems it has been nine years since my last effort in that category, Forgiveness, which frankly fared poorly - I don't know if it is because my effort at capturing a specific vibe failed, or if that vibe was just unpopular.

In any event, I have not submitted to LW since. I don't think it was a conscious decision. My stories still feature a lot of married folks fucking others, happily.

should I put a specifically LW plot into the pipeline?
If so, what should I use as a hook?

(Don't say tentacle monsters- just because I'm currently obsessed with them doesn't mean that I think I can do them justice. Mind you, a LW fucking their pet TM would be an interesting twist- hubby of course tolerates it because it's not like she's fucking another HUMAN guy... )


or maybe after nine years, it's been just too long...

In nine years the readership of LW has changed a lot. There are now two main faction, the Burn the Bitch crowd is vile woman hating... anyway, the second faction is the Reconciliation at all Costs crowd who aren't as vile nor hate women.

It was just about the time you wrote your last story that the woman haters started to pop up and only want husband and wife stories with no cheating or extra curricular activities. They just wanted milk and cookies with no excitement.

I have written both types and a few in between and have always been 1-bombed to oblivion in the first week or so. After that the scores come up a little yet never close to what I first got when I started writing in that category.

Oh and if you put a TM in there you will probably get comments about "This should be in Sci-Fi."

I recall reading some of your stories, I will check the list out again...but my initial rememberance is that I liked them.
 
I think if you post in LW you do so knowing that your score is going to be low by the hateful anonymous crowd. If you don’t care about your ratings, then post away. It’s clearly (I think) the most popular category, but the scores never are indicative of the stories’ quality.

Look at GeorgeAnderson. He posted a MAGNIFICENT story called “February Sucks”, which has been so inspiring at least a dozen people have written their own versions of it. It’s one of the best stories I’ve read, but it’s rated under 4.00.

I think incest remains more popular.

some of my LW stories are popular, though generally my higher scores are on newer stories. Age seems to matter less for the number of favourites . Older stories seem to accumulate more views, regardless of category- my most viewed LW story is my fifth most viewed

The only time I post in LW is when I'm tired of low response levels to my other stories. I know I can stir the shit in LW and get lots and lots of replies. Mostly negative, of course, and frequently borderline psychotic. But hey; hate isn't as nice as love, but it's still a lot better than indifference.

I too do better with Incest. I get more views there and higher scores.

I was about to post "So a Loving Wives Incest story then?" when I realized that would get placed into Incest. I am not sensitive enough to write about a wife who is an incest survivor, so that leaves me still in search of the hook to get the story started. Turns out it WAS much easier when I had a wife, or could at least imagine having one again.

I have a story that started out as a Loving Wives story but somewhere along the line it has just turned into an exhibitionist story. :eek:

The do have sex in front of others. Almost finished with it... a couple of more days and it's submitted. :D
 
I don't care the least little bit about scores or ratings, so .....
 
Well yes, to be fair I have no interest whatsoever in incest so I can’t say I’ve scouted that genre at all.
 
Hypoxia Smurf posted a few pieces to LW with varying returns. Hypoxia Smurf is unlikely to do so again. An alt posts there now so Hypoxia Smurf's other tales won't be targeted for one-bombing. Moral: If you care for your reputation, hide behind an alt.

NOTE: In Hypoxia Smurf's best-scoring LW piece, which once even scored over 4.5, the cheaters were swept away by a mudslide, so any BtB action was due to divine will. Thus the cheated-upon were not to blame. Hint: Have your cheaters carried away by devils.

If you look at my catalogue, you will see that I am also vulnerable to the trolls who trash hubbies who get off on their wives extra cirricular activities.
 
In any event, we seem to have wandered far afield from developing some inspiration for me to get rolling on a story, you know- an actual story idea.

I accept that I contributed to that, but once we got past the first couple of replies here I honestly was hoping for a nudge in the right direction.

There are plenty of threads on the foibles of LW trolls over at the Author's Hangout., and I am familiar with that literature.

Assuming I dive in, which end of the pool is the deep end? Or do I stick with the pond, or a lake somewhere?

My only foray into Loving Wives was met by a very mixed response, although I'm currently having another go on a new story.

Perhaps a couple want a pool but can't afford one, however their neighbours who do have one have gone away for the weekend. Wife and husband are enjoying a moonlit dip in their neighbours pool when the owners unexpectedly return.

The outside lights illuminate the pool area...

Are the original couple naked, already fucking? Perhaps they were just enjoying a swim but the neighbours are striding across to their own pool naked.

I wrote neighbours with pools, a couple of times IIRC. More exhibitionist & voyeur themed though. I think if I wrote your idea, I would submit to Group Sex.
 
Man is a secretive cuckhold. The men cucking him don't know he's watching.
He asks wife for some bondage sex before another man arrives a her door.
Wife only has time to lead him into the wardrobe still bound, where he watches.

There, that's my scrawny plot bunny for the category.
 
@JJA122: A cuckold is a man whose wife cheats on him without his knowledge, and who is held in low regard by his community because he can't control or please his woman. You're describing a cuck fetishist, a wittol or willing wimp, who enjoys playing the victim. Cuck / wittol stories don't play well in LW, so use an alt to post such, to deflect attention from the identity you wish to be known by here. If you can structure it as pure fetish play, post it in Fetish not LW -- maybe add some shoe-licking for a more fetishistic appeal.
 
and I'm not really into cuck tales. I want hubby to share the happy ending.

The wittol is a mental masochist who loves the pain of infidelity, ie a fetishist, same as the fellow who licks dirty shoes. Thus he enjoys staged humiliation much as another might enjoy self-mutilation. I see it as a manifestation of self-hatred. People really are weird, y'know. [political points deleted]

Agreed, peoples is weird.

Pleasure, not pain, is my goal.

Plus, I'm not really into labels.

I'm just weird that way.
 
I don't have a desire to write it myself.
Have you thought of cuckquean? with sharing of course.

The bonfires are smaller.

If I had finished Nude Beach Bride the series instead of stalling, for reasons that are lost in the mists of time, at [URL="https://literotica.com/s/nude-beach-bride-ch-08"]chapter eight, I could write the reunion movie. Unlike the trolls, I loved those characters.

I just think after this time, continuing would be impossible. The incompleteness bugs me.

(and no, not looking for replies encouraging me to try to pick it up. I know myself well enough to know that first, I would need to find my LW voice again, see if it is a voice that matches. Trying to resume and failing would end me as a writer)
