A writer's conundrum

[sirhugs]

When I started my Nude Beach Bride series ( which started to be a 1200 word quickie, is now on ch 4, but I digress) it was on the premise that my editor, who likes fidelity, dared me to write a lusty sex filled romp in which the bride never has sex with anyone but the groom. She thought that was more realistic, on a honeymoon, and wouldd stand out from the typical Loving Wives story. The challenge being how close I can come, etc.

The stories are scoring well, with only modest amounts of vile anti Loving Wives feedback. But here's the dilemma:

most of my positive feed back is from people that want the bride to have sex with other characters. In some ways, that might be more true to how the plot is unfolding, though I have had her maintain that she wil do everything but fuck the other guys, it being the honeymoon...

I have at least one more chapter to write. The issue is do I remain true to my original vision, or write to please the fans?

An eternal conundrum upon which I seek your opinions.

In my opinion...

and you can ignore it if you wish (!) would be to remain true to yourself.

I made the mistake of writing what I thought readers would want with Chapter 4 of my first story "Written Just For You" when I had the wife having sex with her lover in front of her husband. I was never pleased with that ending and felt I had somehow "prostituted" myself by writing something that I would never have done in real life. And of course, the reaction I received was akin to me admitting to being a baby murderer...

So now I write for myself and if some readers don't like it, then that's their problem. There's a lot of truth in the old adage, "You can never please all the people all of the time..."

Ultimately, it's your story. Why are you writing it? For yourself or for your fans? If you are trying to stay true to your editor's dare though, I'd say stick with your original intention.

thanks.

I did suggest to one feedback that after the honeymoon and the homecoming that I might eventually do an anniversary return to the resort....


Other comments appreciated, as it'll be a while before I get back to this series, other stories in progress first.

I'm onto your game; you can't trick me into reading and voting on the previous chapters. :emoticon:

My opinion is that the song should remain the same; the fans of the series will not appreciate sudden infidelity and who cares what your detractors think?

 

[J.Q. Hack]

At the end of the day you are the only one writing the story. Sure, you always hope the readers will like the story and give it good votes, but you have to make sure you are happy with the outcome. All I can say is do with the story what you feel right about writing. You can deal with the negative and positive feedback as it comes in later on.

thanks guys.

i'm inclined to think that if i ever get to it, I do the anniversay reunion orgy to please that segment....

meanwhile, um, er..ch 3 of the series is like one 5 vote shy of regaining its "H"

and I hope you liked it.

The writing is quite good, although the fisting...

I laughed a bit because of my own recent hotel porn and serving girl story's similar language.

Thanks for the story.

I know the fisting isn't too realistic ( though I have been with a few older women loose enough to take my whiolre hand past the wrist) , but it is fantasy, and I wanted to mix it up a bit for variety.

Not sure if I've read your hotel or serving girl stories. I shall check it out. You should either link your stories in the signature line, or at least add a link in your profile.

I put the link back, I never view siglines so I don't make people view one on my posts. The Hotel C...ifornia story is the one I spoke of, humour of course.

hope my vote gave you your H back.

you fear the word " cunt"??? that surprises me. I had read that story. It rocked. Much more high speed reading though than mine, I'd say.

I do not like the word, although I do use it from time to time. I do not mind it in proper context, or in jest. I do not use this word as an epithet, although it is a good one.
