“In-laws are supposed to help out!”

[Brandnewbuddy]

Elevator pitch: wife comes from family where in laws are supposed to help couples out, including the bedroom.

Example: Couple has been married for awhile. Hubby’s side has oddly been asked by him to not visit without giving him a heads up and he starts spending more time with his wife’s side of the family.

Worried, his brother comes by to confront his sister-in-law who is surprisingly happy to see him and asks him to wait downstairs for a second. He does and then his jaw about hits the floor when she comes back in an ant of lingerie that feels more revealing than if she traipses out in her birthday suit.

As she unbuckles his pants and pulls them down, she chirps about how she’s so glad her hubby decided to play fair and let her have fun with his family. See, her family believed in-laws should help out couples with everything, including their sexual appetites. Hubby had started to really enjoy the benefits of his mother and sister in laws but he had suddenly really been reluctant to have wife some time with his side lest she start having fun with them.

“Truth is it’s led to some really big fights this past week, so neither of us have been in the mood and my mother cut him off. Guess he finally saw reason huh? Oh sorry, you’re the guest of honor. Let me take care of you so you can take care of me.”

I think you're going to need names to make sense of this. I also think it'll make a big deal whether this is predominantly a LW story, T/I (you haven't mentioned anything specifically incestuous, but it all seems adjacent to it), or something else.

So let's say we've got Richard Smith married to Ann Jones. Their relationship seemed conventional to Richard's family for a while except maybe with less contact with the Jones family than they would have expected. One day, Richard's brother Frank visits the Smith-Jones household and is greeted by Ann, who attempts to seduce him or generally expresses availability. Is the viewpoint character here Frank or someone else? Is Richard actually okay with it, or does that become a problem later? Does Frank have a significant other of his own who would be bothered by this? Is anyone else interested in any other in-laws? Are most of the pairings with the Jones family just MF "taking care of" each other, or do they get kinkier?

Reviewing what you wrote, I'm pretty sure the answer to my first question is "yes." All the rest still seem to be up in the air.

I see this as an unusual taboo without incest story, which could be fun.

So young couple Mary and Todd, have a child and it was very hard on her lady parts. As is custom in the wifes family, her parents, Joyce and Ken move in for a little while to help care for the baby and mom. And as it turns out, keeping Todds balls empty is part of the deal. Joyce is a world class cock rider and Mary is happy she can relax and heal and bond with her child, while her husband is taken care of.

But all things should be equal Mary figures and when she's healed figures a little attention should be coming her way. So they approach Todd's parents, Dottie and Mark.
"You want your father, to sleep with Mary?" Dottie asks incredulously.

Todd nods. "Yeah, and it would be nice if you'd consider my father-in-law, Ken. I've been fucking his wife for a while, so I was hoping you'd make it up to him. It's only, fair, right?"

It's an awful lot to wrap their heads around, so they beg off, wanting some time to think it over. The next night Mary shows up on her in-laws porch, dressed to kill. She's noticed how her mother-in-law looks at her and has deduced that Dottie is bi, just like Mary.

That night Mary brings her in-laws into the fold, in a rousing threesome that none of them will ever forget. After that they become one big happy swapping family.

The incest purists will hate it, but with the proper tags and an authors note to warn the readers of what they aren't getting, could be a successful story.

It sure is a doozy to keep track of all the names and familial relations, and we haven't even got to second cousins thrice removed!

This is the problem with ensemble casts. Group sex stories especially. To help with this I try to be varied with my characters not only by description, i.e. blonde/ brunette/ short/ tall, but also by body type. Thick, petite, stocky or lean. Sometimes I'll even add an accent just so that I can see the characters differently in my head.

And distinctive names help...
but ultimately, anything more than 4 or 5 gets confusing, IMHO

You have no idea. My first story here was a Halloween story in the Erotic Couplings category that mostly took place at a party hosted by a friend of the MMC. There were 20+ attendees, and while there were only five named characters involved in overt sex acts, each pairing one-on-one at the time, I felt I had to use a table to keep each named/described person organized.

My fourth story, a sequel to the above, was in Group Sex, and featured a swingers party hosted by the same couple. 10 attendees, including the main couple and hosts, so you might think it would be easier than the Halloween party, but you would be wrong. For one thing, the viewpoint character was blindfolded for most but not all of it, and for another, they and some other characters were new to the lifestyle, so most people at the party were masked and used aliases, and yet I followed up with their actual identities anyway. The table keeping track of things for this story had even more columns than for the Halloween story.

I'm amazed that first series turned out as well as it did.

well done. I recently wrote a fivesome story. Luckily I had well developed characters (it was part of a series) and distinctive names, but it still was a challenge, if for no other reason than the need to make sure no one got left out of the action.
