Breasts In Stories

nice to know i've changed your writing style

Well, you didn't really CHANGE my writing style... I don't think anyone can but myself, and I've been writing the way I have with erotica for quite a few years (the 'can't teach an old dog' saying comes to mind here! :)).

But you did INFLUENCE it, as others have done over the year or so I've been submitting work to Lit. :D

A slight difference, yes I know, but I want to hold onto the notion that the author accepts the good readers' constructive critisicm and adapts accordingly, not the notion that the readers FORCE the author to change their style and thus, in a way, sell himself or herself short in the process....

Don't mean anything much by this, though, so hope you don't take this the wrong way! :p

well I didn't mean like change it in that I actually did something to it, but change it as in I've made you rethink and maybe do something about the way you write things. To be honest I haven't read your stuff, so I can't give any direct things to your writing in particular. I do understand what you mean. No not taken in a wrong way at all.

:) cool, thanks.

Yeh, well I guess my 'style' is pretty much 'fill in ALL the details and lean towards the HEAVILY DESCRIPTIVE'. I think this will change over the next few submissions that I do to leave the readers with SOME details but also with a few gaps, which they can fill in accordingly.

Umph, yes well my style isn't really for everybody, as it's pretty explicit sexually and a fair number (most) of my stories are in the incest category. But thanks be to everybody who's submitted here on this forum for helping me grow a little bit more as a writer... including you too, Donsehan! :p

detail is good, numbers=bad, it's really a compromise between detail and flow, if you can master that you will become a great writer. You can probably see what I mean in the fight scenes I have in Way of the Sword.

I submitted a story called "Tomboy", which was rejected because I did not explicitly state the age of the female character. I like the reader to make up their own mind about such thinks. I want the reader to imagine the character in different ways. But, I inserted "18 years old" and the story was approved.

really? i have a story written where the characters were in their early teens and in order to get it submitted i just removed any reference to their ages.

and on the original subject: all of my characters have small breasts so far and i agree with those that say giving exact measurements is silly. let people use there imagination. i've given up even giving ages. if it's unnecesary to the plot then leave it out of the story.
 
hm im wondering why they didnt ban this story its called sandis borthday trip when they baned Tomboy. it has a daughter seduceing her dad starting when shes 15 no sex then but still you would think if under 18 sex is taboo then the sexual adventure if you will starting at 15 would be out too. maybe its in the wording i dont know anyone got any ideas on this one

Well I've written an Incest story where the mother had a son in her early-mid teens... no sex was actually WRITTEN about but the 'Mom' character was 36 years old when the 'Son' character was celebrating his 21st birthday... making her 15 years of age at his birth by my recollection.

I just don't think they want to have the sex acts written about for characters under the age of 18, and that makes sense. It was a submission I made quite a while back and didn't try to 'sneak in' the fact that the main female character had had sex and gotten pregnant as a teen, out of wedlock. Lit let it through so it MUST be alright by them! :p
