I posted this in the Story Ideas section, but I'm curious to see what others have to have in this section seeing this tends to be more of a sexual fantasy area.
Out of curiosity. Do you prefer a story that's a bit more fanciful or something that's a bit more grounded in reality? The reason I ask is while reading an incest/taboo where the main characters were wrought with guilt and other intense feelings. It was a well written story with the characters fully fleshed out to resonate with the reader. This got me to thinking though, when I read erotica, especially in the taboo/incest category, I'm looking for more fantasy driven story lines. Plots that wouldn't and most times shouldn't happen in real life. Characters who don't think twice about having that intimate relationship with that other person. I like to separate reality and fiction. I don't mind stepping away from the hectic and sometimes frustrating reality of the world for awhile. Now, I don't shun those who like to write in a more grounded reality, if that's their style then more power to them, but for me I'll stick to the lusty moms, the sexy neighbors, the inquisitive daughters/sister dressed in their mini skirts, the hot teacher, the disciplinary dad... you get the picture.
So, back to my original question. When you're searching for a story what style do you prefer? Do you prefer substance over style? Or the other way around?
