Allo There - redux

[Taharil]

I was directed in here so I can introduce myself again.
So hi!
I'm a bit of a newbie writer, I've done a lot of work on amateurish non-erotica, but never really got to the end of it.
My current work is a sci-fi story, which will contain a lot of different themes, including an alien lifeform (But that comes in much, much later)
2,300 words in, and I've gotten a little bit of it done. It'll take a while though, perhaps. Though at the rate I'm going, it might be done soon enough.
I've managed to find a happy medium between blatant sex scenes, and storyline. I've always considered storyline to be one of the most important things in erotica. Just random-sex-scene-of-doom, while interesting, leaves no lasting impression. Don't you find?

Hello and welcome.

And I have never minded random sex scenes. I'm a porn fiend, and hardly ever turn a good scene down, regardless of story. Story can be very good, but for me it isn't needed (even though most of mine have them).

Hey, thanks everyone.
It seems to be very amiable in this group. I'm rather glad I picked this site.
So, first of all... Any chance I could get a gauge of how many people are interested in the medium I'm going to be writing in?
Science Fiction Erotica, that is.
I promise not to be generic, I've actually planned quite a few interesting concepts that aren't often found.
Thanks,
Tah

"Science Fiction" covers a lot of territory!

I have two Sci Fi novels in progress (Progress, she said, haw haw)
One is a Space opera, with a half-breed humanoid protagonist. I'm aiming for a Young Adult readership, so the sex won't be as explicit as I usually write it. Go figure-- and that would be the one that might have alien-sex in it!

The other is a time-travel thriller based firmly on Earth history, with an antihero protagonist. A weird human, but human...

I understand it but i never liked the word redux. Can't we have an alternative?

 

[Taharil]

Um... But I LIIIIKE redux. It's a fun word.
Anyway. My story is about an interstellar tug-pilot. She's basically been hired to salvage a science-vessel that crash-landed on a fringe-planet.
There'll be a lot of description in my story, because I like the readers knowing the motives and mechanics behind things.
It's science fiction with an emphasis on the science. I don't really like space-operas too much, but there's a few elements of it in it.
Starting off rather light-hearted, then you get to watch the slow descent into darkness.
Should be fun

 

[Stella_Omega]

Sounds good!

And Sethp-- Redux is a perfectly good word-- no need for substitutes.

 

[Taharil]

Mmhm. My only dilemma is this:
I'm not sure whether I should post it in chapter format, or in one giant steaming load (PLEASE IGNORE THE SEXUAL INNUENDO. IT WAS NOT INTENDED. THANK YOU FOR READING THIS PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT).
Anyway. What do you find is better to capture the reader's attention? Also, are there posting word-limits, which would require multiple posts?
...I hate being a newbie. Has to happen though.

tug-pilot. science-vessel crash-landed fringe-planet.
space-operas

I'm guessing you're doubled-barrelled in real-life.

 

[Taharil]

Eh, I like using-these-things.
If they're that annoying, I'll stop.
Actually, I have no idea why I put all of those in there anyway. Usually I don't. ^^

I think its kinda-cute

 

[Taharil]

Thanks, I think.
Anyway. Anyone got any thoughts on the chapter/nochapter thing?

Good job! don't give in. If'n you like a word (even one made up like "if'n" ), you just go right on ahead an' use it

got it right 'chere.

definitely a cool word, but still doesn't beat "smiting" in my book.
