A distant incest story idea but need advice

[Pornguin]

While trying to go to sleep, I had an idea for a new story. Trying to avoid spoilers, It would involve a man named Caleb who died at age 24ish in 1864, and a female descendant around 19 years old in 2008. I've had two different ideas for endings, but what I hope someone could advise me on:

1) Would a third great grandfather be distant enough, or should it be a fourth great. (I'm mid-30s, and an ancestor of mine who fought is a 2nd Great Grandfather)

2) Should it be labels an incest story, or because of the distant i the lineage, simply be a sci-fi/fantasy tale? Or maybe some other label.

3) Is there a similar story a;ready of Literotica?. I wouldn't want someone else's "sloppy seconds", as it were.

Thanks

1. If you work on 25 years to a generation, it's a simple matter of addition to get a plausible number of generations.

2. Probably sci-fi/fantasy would be better. While technically incest, you'd probably get an awful lot of nasty comments that it wasn't "real incest" because it's not close enough.

3. With well over 100,000 stories here, it's possible. It's also unlikely.

Sounds more like necrophilia to me.

You think they knew any good moves in 1864?

I think you're looking at Sci-Fi/Fantasy as well, though you could always try for taboo, I suppose. If the characters know of the relationship and you mention it often enough, it just might fly. If they don't know that they're related, then this will never work in incest/taboo. Regardless of the taboo part of the category, the readership demands known blood relation -- the closer the better. If the couple doesn't know they're related at first, then it about has to be a long-lost mother/father/brother/sister to be acceptable.

If you put it in Sci-Fi/Fantasy, you'll probably want to put a taboo warning in an author's note at the beginning of the story. The readers there are pretty good about actually reading those and shying away from content that squicks them, rather than using that as a key to down-vote/viciously comment without reading, as is common in many other categories.

Without that word of warning, you're going to get a lot of silent low votes due to the surprise. If you go all the way through the story and don't reveal the relationship until the end, you'll get a lot more low votes, and probably some less than flattering comments.

If you put it in taboo, you'll probably want to put a little author's note in there mentioning that this is a bit of a sci-fi/fantasy story, as you don't see much of that sort of thing in the category. If the title or description conveys the time travel well enough, you might be able to skip this author's note. As I said, if she cries out "grandpa" often enough, it just might fly.

If you're not going to have a lot of descriptive sex, go with Sci-Fi/Fantasy. The readership there is far more forgiving of limited ( or even no ) sex content, provided the story is interesting enough on its own, without the bump-n-grind.

As far as readership, you'll get 10-50 times more reads and votes in incest/taboo over Sci-Fi/Fantasy. It's all a matter of whether the way you write the story is within the kink of the category's readership.

Hope that gives you an idea of which way to go.

They definitely know the relationship. I'm not sure just how much sex there will be, but there will be some.

First thing, don't evenworry about "sloppy seconds" because a story is what happens to people. I have one that I keep playing around with, where a young man is haunted by his ancestor of six hundred years earlier, so you're not the only person to think about the idea... but I bet our finished stories will be very, very different in the end.

At lit, whatever seems "weirdest" trumps, as far as categories go. Sci-fi/fantasy is "weirder" than incest around here, so that's where your story will probably end up.Mine will be gay male, which is probably "weirder" than sci-fi fantasy.

Reminds me of "Les Visiteurs", one of my all-time favorite movies.

I finally wrote it. I called it "Caleb's Story". Hopefully it'll be published in the next couple of days.

It got published; let me know what you think:

I noticed. Is the caps that bad? No one ever commented before on my use of capitals before.

Yes, it's that bad.

It is distracting, certainly.

And it isn't necessary. Use descriptors to show what she is saying, crying, moaning, screaming, etc.
