Hi All, my first post.

I had a handsome and sexy Lit Crush, but things didn’t work out. We had a few very specific fantasies about getting together IRL that we never lived out, and they are “haunting” me. I am thinking about writing them out in a story.

Any advice about turning a deeply personal and hot story into something that other readers can relate to?

Just do it. Include actions, dialog, and feelings and emotions that a reader can identify with. First Person style will make it feel more personal.

See what kind of feedback you get. Then learn what lessons you can, and write another one.

What he said. The more personal and emotional the story the more the readers will be pulled in.

The obvious solution to your dilemma is to:
1) find a new handsome and sexy Lit Crush (or just a willing stand-in)
2) live out a few very specific fantasies together IRL
3) write down what happened

I guarantee it will be realistic that way.

Now, if only you had a volunteer...

I’d say be as specific and honest as you can. Details matter. And make the reader feel the chemistry you felt. If you need an editor let me know

With my writing experience I may be able to help with that writing project.

The more personal and intense the fantasy, the better the story. Start writing…. Now

@R_Clairmont May be you will get to live those fantasies with some one else ? Sorry to hear that you never got to live them out. It’ can be achingly painful to not fulfill them.

Yet another personals ad masquerading as a "story idea". We seem to be getting a lot of this lately.

Except it’s not. The story is written and going through a few editors.

I assume you’re a writer as well, would you like to help out and edit? Each editor has really helped evolve the story.
 
I'm sorry but what part of the board title "story ideas" do you have trouble in understanding?

Actual ideas for stories are what we post in this forum - and people will search your post #1 in vain for anything resembling that. Your post is a call either for other people to contact you (and/)or for them to give you their ideas.

If "the story is already written" there is even less justification for your post. You do realise there is an editors' forum here which would be far more suited to your call..?... or have you not noticed that..?
 
Literally someone's first post, as stated in said post, and the first thing you do is attack them... That is kind of a shame. No wonder people are so nervous to post.

If you feel that it is in the wrong spot, there are definitely more constructive ways to bring that up.

Try honey instead of vinegar, I've heard good things 😉
