assembly line porn

There's also the consideration that anyone who is prolific may be generating a certain degree of jealousy from some people, encouraging them to find fault in the work.

They then disseminate that opinion bringing attention to cherry picked "facts" designed to present overwhelming evidence. Often, this is done privately, in the hopes that someone else will take any heat resulting from presenting that opinion publicly.

i'm not interested in creating an attack thread which seems to be what you want. why don't you discuss the topic rather than try to start a disagreement? i'm not interested in satisfying your need to be disruptive, i'm asking how people feel about this method. obviously you have a problem staying on topic.

Well...you did create an attack thread. Clearly this angers you, which is why you decided to post it so that others could join in your outrage. You're not getting the response you want, because without providing others a means of verifying your accusation you're just standing on a street corner, telling us the end of the world is coming but not giving cold hard facts. If you want folks to give you a legitimate opinion, you have to allow them to form it based off of proof.

I mean, for all we know you could just be randomly making something up because you're bored...that is what I do, but generally I do it in a Word document so that I can publish it later.

I know Kindle can produce porn story formulas of every twist, without any help from a human writer. It's amazingly droll and uninteresting. The older porn classic novels (Liverpool Library Press for example) still seem to be the best.

I think of the doctored Disney cartoon with cheezes on the assembly line and Mickey Mouse turning them Swiss by fucking each wheel. Modernize that. Naked humans roll down the assembly line, fucked at stations along the way. POV: the plant manager, overseeing operations and maintaining quality. Hey you at H7, fuck harder! We have a quota!

This!

Especially with robotics.

Yup.

My other thought.

I think that the size queens might find more satisfaction at the Ferrari factory.

Naw, let's torture that nerve till it squeals. My view: Some people are word-spewing machines. Talk incessantly; scribble endlessly; keyboard hotly. Some are paid but many blather on for emotional rewards. Their words may follow self-similar patterns, ie formulas. Rewards reinforce the formulas. People bought that shit? Make some more of it. Do so daily, and you are 'prolific'.

Our audiences are not *forced* to absorb formulaic works. They want the shit so give it to them! Oh yeah, another mom-sits-in-son's-lap-in-back-seat tale! This week they're rednecks in a Jeep Cherokee. Next week, suburbanites in a retro Dodge Caravan. Change their clothes and accents but keep the same fun.

It's all entertainment, cheaper to make than cookie-cutter stage and screen shows. People buy the cloned stuff. Am I blaming the victims?

I've got no horse to ride in this game, but this is as interesting as the games in the Playground. I'd hate to see it end. In the Popular Author's box on each category page, these are the authors who show up the most.

Do any of them fit rae121452 bill of story scribbling?

I have been thinking of doing this for one story to see how it would work out. Setting: couple A & B, and colleague Z.
A seduces Z, B comes home, A runs away, leaving Z behind, tied and naked. B finishes the job.
B & Z would be the same sex, A different. Which combination would be better.

I experimented with my A Taste of Incest bits A Taste of Turkey [Dad] and [Mom], the same story but gender-flipped. Both tales have close scores but the [Mom] version got twice as many views and votes. I'm tempted to take this approach further. For experimentation, not production-line story-cloning. Maybe a binary interracial story with colors flipped in each version. Do BBCs beat BWCs?

 

[FEELINGLUCKYPUNK]

I do the assembly line process because it makes better reading than re-inventing firs and wheels all the time. Originality usually produes bizarre crap.

 

[Zeb_Carter]

It's difficult to evaluate this in the abstract. I've been reading stories here for 15 years and I can't think of any author whose stories quite match this description. There are some popular authors who work and rework certain tropes and situations, i.e., "son suddenly thinks mom is hot because [insert new reason]." But genre fiction in general works this way somewhat, and I wouldn't call it assembly line.

I like to see creativity and originality in a story, and I begin to get bored of an author if I feel the same ground is being retread too often. But there's a huge body of readers on this site who want to read the same basic story line over and over, and it's understandable that some authors would like to tap that audience.

I could name one or two, but won't. I found them a long time ago and since then they have stopped the assembly line writing.

 

[LupusDei]

In one of my drawers I have well over 200 self-produced unfinished low quality quick-draw one-two page porn comics. In a review of the pile I do once in never it becomes obvious over 80% of it are iterations on conceptually the exact same scene. Maybe you have to thank god I don't speak English, but exactly because of that I would enjoy an algorithmic sex scene generator as a writer's aid.

 

[mr. robinson]

In matters of taste there is no right or wrong. Some may find the stories you describe to their taste. If it is not yours, note the authors and don't read their work. They will never trouble you again.

 

[AfterDusk]

Hmm a thought occurred to me that humans, by nature, are creatures of habit. We wake up at the same time, go to the same job, do the same shit, eat food at predictable times of day, go to bed every night. Chances are, more often than not, we fuck in predictable ways. In normal life, originality is difficult to come by. Hell, I’ve had the exact same thing for breakfast every morning for the past five years. They say art imitates life so maybe there’s something to assembly line porn.

And now I’ve another random thought: compose a Mad Libs erotic story. I dare someone to do this, it would be hilarious. Fits in any category!

Excellent idea. A few others had that idea too.

 

[Desiremakesmeweak]

Yep, too much assembly line crap around these days.

Are these people claiming to be 'writers?' They're frauds is what they are. And there are a lot of them. But I'll give them this - they are capable of using a powerful imagination: they must have to have one to believe they are real writers.

 

[RejectReality]

There's also the consideration that this is an amateur porn site.

What some may construe as a purposely formulaic and malicious attempt to exploit the readers may be as innocuous and simple as a horny person submitting stories that turn them on.

Specific details of what's fueling their fantasies may be bleeding into all of their stories, causing them to have similar themes, cadences, plots, etc.

Like them or not, they're almost certainly providing content that a segment of Lit's readership loves.

 

[Hypoxia]

I've walked urban streets and enclosed galleries where assembly-line artists show their cloned products. Memory at random: central Antigua Guatemala, the old cultural capitol of Central America, sidewalks lined with canvases, almost exactly the same scenes of cobbled streets, bright adobe walls, and volcanoes. Or another set, looking straight down on geometric views of costumed Mayans in marketplaces and kitchens, the same patterns with varied details. Or another set, backgroundless portraits of faceless figures in the unique garb of each tribe or village. Same pose, new clothes. Assembly line.

And tourists bought them. WE bought some. We were tempted (but too cheap) to buy one example of each, like our Southwest pottery. Our walls now are hung with straight-down views, and village ritual scenes, and costume portraits -- the Space Cowboy outfits of Sololá men are unmistakable. So we chose attractive assembly-line art. Is that bad?

I doubt that most LIT readers expect to find immortal literature here. Smut is enough.

Damn. Goes to show no matter how hard you try, more often than not your idea isn’t original.

Well, except for banana slug porn, I think.

 

[rae121452]

this thread turned out to be a lot more revealing than i had anticipated.

the assembly line approach has been around forever, it's how the mass market smut paperbacks of the 60's and 70's were produced. a lot of pulp writers use the same approach. it's a way to generate product quickly. that said, we're on a free site. no one gets paid for product.

and that's what provoked my question. on another site that i used to frequent it was often discussed, calling it the "cut and paste" method. what i am curious about is how many people are on here to write creatively and how many are intent on generating the most stories and the most views.

i never expected the rabid backlash. but, that in itself somewhat answers my question.

If this post was your original post and you were asking for opinions, I bet you'd have received very different feedback than what you received from your OP.

VERY much agreed.

I’m on here to write stuff I’d want to read. So I won’t post anything I don’t think meets my definition of “creative.” I’m like most writers here: I’ve got many, many completed or near-completed stories that I won’t post because they don’t meet my expectations.

So, OP, it’s not a binary “creative writing” OR “views ‘n’ votes” proposition. My feeling is that good writing gets more views and votes. So the one leads to the other, at least for my readers.

 

[KeithD]

I think I rank with the "most prolific" writers on this Web site, although I purposely look for the "different" when I sit down to write. And that "different" is from what I've written before because I don't read much of what anyone else writes (not out of disrespect, but my reward is from writing it, not reading it, and if I don't read it, whatever I come up with was honestly from myself even if it was like what anyone else wrote.) That said, there are only a certain number of setups and positions to write about in 1,000 stories. I try to work with unusual settings, time periods, fetishes, character attitudes/values, and plot twists.

I think I probably have the time to be prolific because I keep my nose out of the business of other writers and don't spend time worrying about what they are doing or "outing" them on the discussion board while being coy and not backing up my assertions with names. I just do my own thing. I recommend that to others.
