Story sent back due to lack of kink - can anyone help?

[EmilyMiller]

Hi all,

My most recent story was sent back with the following message:

• Literotica is an erotic fiction community centered on the sharing of human adult fantasies. While we do not have a policy against a lack of kink in submissions from EmilyMiller, we do ask that all work published by her contains at least some bizarre fetish or non-mainstream sex. This story contained none of: anal, gang bangs, femdom pegging, tentacles, urine drinking, restrained impact play or school uniforms. Are you feeling well? Please see this FAQ for more information: https://literotica.com/faq/publishing/publishing-emilymiller

Had anyone else had this message, and any advice what I should do about it?

Thanks in advance.

Em

It sounds like you should go back to bed and try to wake up less cranky.

 

[Duleigh]

YES! I received a message that was similar, in my case it said, "TOO MUCH PORN, back off on the sex scenes and let the plot rule the story."

Have you tried including a tentacle monster and a men's volleyball team? Group, gay male, non-human all in one.

 

[EmilyMiller]

I got one once saying just, “stop trying to write.”

But remember this is only allowed if the tentacle monster enjoys it.

The solution was staring me in the face

I’m not cranky, hun. I have zen-like equanimity.

Tentacle monsters always enjoy it.

This sounds like a decent setup for a story in itself. The draft just keeps getting sent back, and the writer has to delve deeper and deeper into her latent sexual desires to tease out enough kink to get the story published.

Furiously taking notes…

I'm spending entirely too much time thinking about tentacle monsters because of you.

I am a bad influence. Everyone says so .

It's the rarest of all things, a moment when everyone is right.

 

[EmilyMiller]

So, I took on board the helpful suggestions and resubmitted.

This time the rejection note mentioned a lack of pop culture references (with particular mention of Star Wars), no words with more than five syllables, an inexplicable absence of abstruse scientific terms, zero jokes that only the author gets, and no fourth wall breaking.

I’m so at a loss what to do .

So, clearly, what you need is another verse.
Where the FMC has sex in a WaWa parking lot, while wearing a Slave Leia outfit, while Jay and Silent Bob watch in shocked fascination until Silent Bob turns to the camera and pontificates that this whole thing is about as likely as Jay solving Fermat's Last Theorem.

Love [early] Kevin Smith .

Can Salma Hayek (circa 1999) play Serendipity Leia?

Why yes, that would work nicely.
I forgot to mention, that Leia is having sex in an uncomfortable place, the back of a Volkswagen.

My older brother is a Kevin Smith super fan. He got me started on them.

I’m in such trouble today . Apparently I’m doing nothing to help pack (guy work surely?) and “just goofing around on my phone.”

Oh dear!

this is so deliciously meta.

I LOVE THAT WORD!!! Can I used that? or do you have rights to it?
