Aw, Hell Naw!!!!!

[BiscuitHammer]

I have some stories that could be put in Non-Con, but to be honest, they'd also fit in Horror, so I have no idea where they'd end up. More than that, though, I'm pretty damn sure they're too intense to be published to begin with. Non-Con and Rape not at all fetishes of mine, but they're written easily enough.

Well it looks like we were writting one story after another. Then things happened. Mostly it seems like after we moved back to the midwest neither of us has gotten around to writting. With my short term dementia I really have no idea where we left off. I think that's part of my husband's problem too. He lost track of his IN and OUT stories. I see folders with stories but we don't seem to have time to check what's in Lit and what's not even well written yet.
I was reminded that none of our stories are well written.

I do know I was warned to not write in Loving Wives and most others I don't care for. We were warned that true stories don't win readers so we might just curl up and die before anything else gets posted.

That's brilliant. I'm going to find someway, somehow to use that phrase.

Sorry guys, diversion from the OP post but ....

Okay, it's fun alright but you're gonna be screaming "Airborne" as you fly.... now that I have that little detail, well ..... anyhow, nobody dies this early .... this is just the warmup for the main act...

*That* was the warm-up.

I get that feeling I'm a distinct minority here

Ahem.

I'd never write a Loving Wives story. Like ever.

Now Horror is fun. I'm just not great at it. I did write one a loooooong time ago where the main character ended up being a ghost, but it was written so that no one guessed til it was revealed. Mostly because I didn't even know it was going to turn out that way.

 

[My I]

Heh. Truth is, I'm not interested in a LOT of them. Maybe even most of them. I don't have anything against people reading them or writing them, I just have no interest in them.

 

[ChloeTzang]

Aww, does this mean that if I write a story about a kick-ass ER nurse who goes to Afghanistan on Saturdays and church on Sundays, you won't read it?

If it's yours, of course I'll read it

 

[nosebone]

I've submitted mostly incest stories here, but they've been of the "are you sure we feel this way' variety because I'm not going to write the reality of the typical situation. I've written gay male and CD stories here and elsewhere, as I can imagine what would take place. I've never experienced this and some would say that the ratings reflect this. Granted my CD stories did pretty well.

I'll likely never write a true BDSM story. Pain/control do nothing for me. Ditto noncon. Having known several rape survivors, I can't go there. Celebrities is a maybe. I've always admired Emily Blunt and Keira Knightley as actresses, but haven't found a way to write that without it being completely creepy

Mind control, sci-fi, etc. Again, not my cup of tea and I won't try. Ditto with loving wives, I've written affair stories but the shaming, incriminations and cuckolding that are often associated with the category are not my cup of tea.

 

[YouDidWhut]

I would have to say Gay Male, BDSM, Loving Wives and Non-Con.

I actually started a NC story but stopped writing because it got so dark that it scared the hell out of me that I could even developed a character capable of that behavior. I have no desire to wade through the sewer that is LW and the BDSM scene is just as brutal. The readers there will rip you a new asshole for the smallest mistake. (And the BDSM crowd will smile while they do it.)

And finally, before anyone freaks and starts dropping homophobe bombs on me. My kid brother is “as queer as a three dollar bill”, (his words, not mine) so spare me the righteous indignation. Not writing in that Cat is a personal choice.

Jeeze, the rest of Lit must be all rainbows and sugarplums if LW is a sewer. Honestly, it isn't that bad as long as you ignore steadfastly all criticism from Anonymous posters (if they don't have the time or interest to sign in/up, their opinions are worth nothing) and from those who don't write (I do give some credence to Looooong-time members with no stories posted, because some of them have just stopped putting them up here).

It is a free porn story site, there ARE really decent writers here, but there are a metric fuck-ton [2200 fuck-pounds] of eejits who don't write and don't like it when others do so without mindreading and posting what the fuckwits want. I find these folks all across Literotica (well, I don't read the illustrated or Letters and transcripts sections, maybe they are different). Unsurprisingly many of them read Loving Wives stories. So what? Those posts DON'T COUNT.

Honest... go pick a LW story, and check the comments. no matter how bad, you'll see the thorns and tares springing up. Then look at the rating, and read the story. There are a lot of 4-5 rated stories in LW, including some really good stories, well told. Sure, there are a lot of crap stories, too, because LW gets a lot of stories.

There's a certain amount of catharsis one can get in reading (and more in writing) about revenge and betrayal and where else are you going to find such a distillation as in that thread designated for it? I love a decent Romance (some of you folks have got me right in the feels), I enjoy I/T and Mature and Interracial and (some) celeb (some are creepy) stories, I'm willing to consider BDSM and its evil reflection NonCon, but to provoke a visceral reaction, you need a visceral situation.

I stopped writing for that category myself, because visceral events were really easy to write when I was ANGRY, but its hard to shake off the ANGRY as I step away from the project. And visceral situations can go dark very fast.

The thing that irks me, though, is the "I don't read 'those' stories, that place is a cess-pool," posters (you know who you are). especially the ones who say they've never been, because it is so bad. How the hell can you judge the soup if you haven't been there in the soup (wait, that came out wrong)?

Worse, though, are the long-time authors who pretend their kink is better than other kinks. If you've written 900 Literotica stories, and 880 are Gay Male, or Letters and transcripts, or Mature, or Anal, and you have 3-4 LW stories, you are no more a subject matter expert than I am with my piddly three. You have NO FUCKING RIGHT to come all holier than thou about how bad that other category is. Those people get on my nerves.

Sorry to be ranting, but I get damned tired of seeing the 'lets all pile on LW' train start up, AGAIN. It certainly has its problems, and the aforementioned pile of do-nothing know-nothings, but you can tell some powerful stories there.

[yukonnights]

Actually, most of the categories hold little interest. And as someone said above, I'd find it hard to write a decent story if my imagination wasn't involved.

But to name my three worst of the worst:
Horror...anything ugly and demented turns me off as a human, much less in a sexual fantasy

Incest... just can't get into it enough to ignite a decent fantasy

Sci-Fi...I've read some really good ones, and I like to read them...I'm just not smart enough or clever enough to write one

In my simple, old fashioned mind, erotica is founded best on love...the hunger for love, the quest for love and the fulfillment of love. (Oh yes, I almost forgot: And LUST )

 

[Axelotto]

Everyone is anonymous on here, even those with users names. Even those I've emailed on here, I don't know them. I don't know their real names. I don't know their faces. I don't know if they are telling the truth or not about anything.

Not much difference between an anon comment and a named comment, because anyone can be behind them or several of them.

Fair enough. I figure that if they will not even step up to that very low bar, they aren't serious or worth listening to.

I have seen strings of anon posts that sound amazingly similar, and heard complaints that some posters must have multiple nicks/handles/made up names whatever we call them.

I dodn't post my real name or face here, because I doubt the reactions of people I might work for/with. Not the actual coworkers, the clients/people we work with/for. Once I retire, sure, I'll happily admit I write dirty stories, because as Tom Lehrer said, irty stories are fun!"

 

[Bramblethorn]

This thread isn't as vehement as it sounds, I just wanted to start off big...

So what category do you have absolutely no interest in publishing in or reading?

I don't have any hard "will not read" categories. If a story comes sufficiently recommended - e.g. I've read and loved something else by that author - then I will check it out regardless of category. There are several I wouldn't be likely to click on without a recommendation:

Anal: I'm generally more interested in human interactions than specific sex acts. Happy to read stories that involve anal, but if it's the primary theme then that's probably not going to leave enough room for the elements that do interest me.
Celeb/Fanfiction: celeb does nothing for me. Odds are I don't know what the celebrity you're writing about even looks like, although "thin white woman under 40 with big breasts" is usually a safe bet. I have enjoyed some fanfic on other sites, even written one smutty fanfic, but the stuff I've seen on Literotica generally hasn't grabbed me.
Gay Male: would definitely read if I had reason to expect an interesting story, but "two guys get it on" isn't enough to establish interest for me.
Humor and Satire: I enjoy stories with humour in them, but I can't remember seeing anything in this category that grabbed me.
Incest/Taboo: as per Gay Male.
Novels and Novellas: just don't have the time :-(
Reviews and Essays: if there's one thing I'm not short of, it's random internet people's opinions.
Toys and Masturbation: as per Anal.

Interracial, Transsexual: I really enjoy stories that deal with these issues in a nuanced way where everybody's treated as a human being. But I really really don't enjoy stories that fetishise people for these attributes (black bull/tranny chasers/etc.) and the hit to miss ratio for these categories is too low for my liking.

Gay Male...although I have written a T/C featuring a Pre-op transsexual...HE/SHE...She/He...???? I called her she in the story.

If she's MtF (trans woman) then "she" is good, no matter whether she's pre-op, post-op, or non-op.

 

[Gentleman_G]

How does that scare the hell out of you? Anyone can do it, you take all the horrible things in the news and anything you can think of and you make a person like it, give them a reason or no reason for doing it, and have them do it. Done.

That's not the issue here. Anyone can create such a character. It's the mindset of said character you have to get into and if you want to create character that really feels authentic and realistic, you have to be able to think like such a character. Once you manage to do so, you get scared for being able to do so.
It's kind of like an actor having to play a messed up serial killer and starts behaving like it even when they're not acting the role. Once you realize you're doing it, it gets really, really scary.

It is also why I have trouble writing characters that go against everything I believe in. I mean, I don't have trouble writing a serial killer, so long I don't have to write it from his PoV. If I have to write from his PoV, he'll become too realistic for me and I tend to sympathize with him. I don't like feeling he's reflecting off my dark fantasies. I could write a Dexter, who's actually pretty sympathetic in the first place, but that wouldn't be a scary character in the first place.

 

[Kojak01]

Interesting question. Before I started writing "The Text Message" I would have included BDSM in that list but that story took a totally different turn than I had intended while I was writing it.

But at this point I would start out to write:
Celeb & Fan Fic: Celebs just bore me to death
Chain Stories: I can't guarantee to find the time to write and don't want to let a potential writing partner down.
Gay Male: Not my cup of tea
How To: Find out yourself...
Illustrated: I'm (hopefully) a writer not a illustrator
Incest/Taboo: Not my cup of tea
NC/Reluctance: Not my cup of tea
Text with audio: See illustrated
Transsexual/Crossdressers: Not my cup of tea

But then again: I've been surprised by the events of a story I've written before so who knows how the next one is turning out to be...

 

[Jada59]

I guess I would have to say that I wouldn't write for most of the listed categories here. Why? If I'm not into something, I just can't write it.

I did try many years ago. Someone requested that I write him a story. I did it but I actually felt turned off by much of what he wanted me to write. And turned off is not something I like.

I have read a variety of things here. Some have been so far off from what I was interested in, but I still tried to read them. The problem? In many cases, I did not find the story to be plausible at all.

People have told me that it doesn't have to be plausible because it's fantasy. But for me, fantasy at least in terms of sex, still has to be something that I could at least visualize myself being a part of. And when there are niggling little details that would never be, I just want to laugh.

That being said, one of my novels that I've yet to complete is pure fantasy but it's not about sex and doesn't even take place here in this realm. So that's a different ball of wax.

I guess in terms of sex stories, I am fairly vanilla.

I don't know about that! I have created some really terrible, evil characters in some of my novels. I don't think like them nor do I want to. But I do write so that something terrible happens to the terrible people.

You're not dying yet, buddy, but I just blew a chupacabra off your ass coz you fumbled your reload.... Gotta practice more, but that comes this afternoon. Now Tex is having fun up front, whacking them with his .308 and Lovecraft is just pumping away. Voboy's finally figured out how to slap the mag in his FAL and get off a few shots. BB and Bear are blowing them in half with the 8 gauges and Barefoot girl jut got send flying by a headless chupacabra that kind of did the beachball thing without it's head .... the team has been ambushed by a swarm of chupacabra and they weren't prepared and it's chaos....

If you'll let me have a military 5.56mm or a Belgian FN in 7.62, please ?
A Kukri would be handy, too

This thread isn't picking on any category. It's a thread that asks, 'What wouldn't you write in," not "Please bash the category you don't like."

Fuck, this is a sensitive world.

I don't see an ounce of difference between the invitation to slam others between those two. I ascribe to "mind-your-own business" and let others enjoy whatever is allowed here as they want without being put down on the discussion board.

Just from what you've indicated on this thread, you basically are saying you are an insensitive person. You can easily wrap your head around and write about the darkest underside of humanity. Okay, so your insensitive...the problem with being insensitive is; Well, your insensitive. Obviously sensitive people bother you though, as your statement above indicates...maybe you're only sensitive about sensitive people
