And competition.

Now that... is a little disturbing. Competition for what? Em's octopus?

For women. The penis fish see men as the competition and wipe them out.

I had a vagina dentata dream the other night. We should introduce them to each other - they can consume each other, but what happens when they swallow?

For starters, we're not having nearly as many gun-related deaths per year as the US has each month. Maybe allowing any nutjob to buy a piece might be a bad idea after all.

Are there scientific studies on how gun ownership has markedly reduced the rate of home invasions and burglaries vs. the number of accidental and not so accidental killings? That's the #1 reason why pro-gun people resisting any form of control - "I needs three shotguns and my AR-15 to defend my home from all them gangsters trying to rob me money and rape me family!""

I might get mugged if I walk into the wrong part of town and piss off the wrong people, but the chances to gunned down for any reason are practically nil.

Well, it might happen for some reason.

One of my neighbors in this building had her nephew shot to death in the Mott Haven section last year. It happened in the street outside a barber shop. The man's mother, her sister, will have her residence relocated by The SafeHorizon organization. At the moment she's living in a temporary dorm provided by a church.

BTW, were would a prostitution story go on Lit?

I've put them into Erotic Couplings if they are fiction and Celebrities and Fan Fiction if they are based on a real person. Looking them over, however, it seems that they show that prostitution is not erotic, it's just selling a service. As one of the fictional ones describes it:

"Will you at least watch?" (He means he's going to masturbate after she leaves. He has already told her that he has no more money on him.)

"There is a charge for that too."

There was a note of annoyance in his voice. "Everything with you is an extra charge."

Now I was feeling some annoyance too. I knew he was inexperienced, but every now and again -- maybe twice per month -- I delivered a little speech to set a john straight about what we were going to do or what we already had done.

I replied, "Josh, I'm running a business here. Like, you wouldn't expect to get a free drill set from Sears."

Very dark wit from that woman, obviously.

~ A lovestruck Romeo sang the streets a serenade
~ Laying everybody low with a love song that he made
~ Finds a streetlight, steps out of the shade
~ Says something like,

Come up on different streets, they both were streets of shame
Both dirty, both mean, yes, and the dream was just the same
And I dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
How can you look at me as if I was just another one of your deals?

When you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold
You can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
You promised me everything, you promised me thick and thin, yeah
Now you just say "Oh, Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him."

Saltwater crocs though, they're doing well for food, recently. The warning signs are in English, German, and Japanese, but your croc can't read, so won't discriminate.

I was neck-deep in a very nice Darwin pool one morning when I noticed a saltie warning sign - small and placed so it could only be read once already in the pool. I had never realized I could levitate….

Christ on a bike. That's an "only in America" mind set, right there.

I can recall one school shooting in Australia, in about forty years (Bramble will correct me if I'm dramatically wrong about that). We have the occasional knivings, and random bomb threats, but road deaths and suicide are our biggest non-medical killers. Guns are for culling kangaroos and camels, not people.

I've just looked at few charts - Australia had around 50 gun homicides last year, around 250 gun deaths, total. Population, 23 million, thereabouts. We do things differently, I guess.

I like Australia, but I think I've missed whatever chance I had to visit.

By definition, everything on Lit is CNC or reluctance. True NC is not allowed, the name of the category notwithstanding. I do not think anybody is defending rape. Certainly I am not. Though we also have to acknowledge rape does make it into fiction. Just not on Lit.

Oh, Consensual Non-Consent. Anyway, no, that is not the majority of content on Lit, whether by definition or not.

 

[gunhilltrain]

I could not write in the NC/R category. I don't even read it. For me, it is too close to rape. Celebrity? I am not a celebrity junky, so I wouldn't even know what to write. On the other hand, Rihanna, JayLo, and Miley Cyrus are crushes, so I suppose I could write a fantasy about them.

God, I'm so old. My celebrity crushes included Barbara Stanwyck and Faye Dunaway. Never wrote directly about them, but they are sometimes referred to by other characters.

This story will eventually be done by me, I hope. Three women are talking; two of them are bisexual. The subject of celebrity crushes comes up; one of the latter two has admitted that one of her crushes was Stanwyck (as she appeared in the 1953 Titanic). She decides to "out" one of friends (and future lover), just to bug her I think. This is supposed to be in 1999 for, well, for reasons.

"So who was your celebrity crush?"

"Oh, you'll never guess it."

"I could try."

"Okay, if you must know, it was Judy Garland."

"So you wanted to go down The Yellow Brick Road with her?"

"No, I always hated that stupid movie. It was when she was a young adult; Meet Me in St. Louis."

The third one either misses the point of this exchange or simply doesn't care. "That was such a great movie!"

 

[gunhilltrain]

Cause you wrote it beautifully. Then, as you say, you were interested and did some research.

Last time I said something like, I have male gay l friends, but… I got crucified.

My issue with writing male gay porn is a) No experience - sure I love cock sucking and anal sex, but I don’t assume that makes me au fait with the gay male experience and the emotions tied up in that - pretty sure both are qualitatively different for a girl; b) it doesn’t turn me on - back when I used to live and breathe porn, I tried some gay male stuff and it left me cold - maybe I picked poorly.

I did go through a pre-op female transsexual phase (and kinda, but not really, wrote a fantasy vaguely adjacent to that), but that felt (and looked) very different to gay male sex.

Again, depending on your definition, I’m gay too. Then the B in LGBTQ+ is always silent.

If you believe Alfred Kinsey, I think he said that the categories of straight, bisexual, and gay are too rigid. He saw it as a spectrum (zero to 100, perhaps) along which a person's orientation might be plotted. To him, a lot of people, maybe the majority, were at least a little bit bisexual.

The only thing the Devil fears more than God is lawyers.

And insurance agents.

 

[gunhilltrain]

and mine even less so...
I only write stories about Dominant women and how they mistreat their men.

I think it's more interesting when they take turns. Also, it usually not a lifestyle, but just a couple of hours or so. (I once took some heat on the BDSM board for that. "It is a lifestyle!") Anyway, as one of them says (I forgot if it was the male or female of the couple): "We were two switches in love. Could anything be sweeter?"

Random thought: would Pig Latin be considered a Non English story?

"Eee-shay opped-dray to her ees-knay, her ips-lay oised-pay to uck-say my ock-cay."

 

[gunhilltrain]

Happily as responsible authors we have the opportunity to look further than five minute video clips with titles like 'She gets reamed by a black bull' or 'Old man tricks first-timer to take it up the ass'.

That's very much like what shows up on Story Ideas almost every day. Fortunately, they mostly want to talk about it, not actually write it.

No, but Esperanto would qualify.

I think the worst part of this is having to talk gun violence through with your offspring, in the event that some unhinged mouth-breather who got a semi-automatic rifle off some hillbilly in a backdoor sale decides to pay a visit to her school. I've honestly been content to homeschool her and keep her close, but even then, death by stray bullets or bullets intended for other targets isn't at all uncommon either...

The US is so fucking ghetto.

The family across town
would catch hell without a ghetto around.
In every city you'll find the same thing going down;
Harlem is the capital of every ghetto town.

Did you just Bobby Womack me?

He ain’t wrong though. It’s a sad reality but it is what it is… and there’s only so much staying inside and trying to play it safe you can do before you’re not really living anymore.

Oh yes, of course. He passed a few years ago. Here he covers "California Dreaming," of all things, and makes it his own, I think. "Across 110th Street" was written for the opening credits of the 1972 movie of the same name. Harlem has been gentrified so much (not entirely) that it is much different from the place I knew more than forty years ago. Anyway, now I just go out and go where I have to go (or want to go) and don't worry about it as much as I once did.

Very interesting take. I’m a Georgia girl myself but I can certainly imagine, watching Atlanta slowly transform from projects to high rise condos on every other corner echos a similar feel, though I don’t doubt you’re older than I am given your demonstrations of expansive knowledge.

My thanks for the cover, it was excellent! I love the original song, blown away by the fact that I never knew this version existed!

I've never been to Atlanta. Tom Wolfe's take on it, A Man in Full, was much like his other works: interesting but in the end mostly wrong-headed.

New York is strange; it's a whole different city every ten years. While some parts become richer, other parts become poorer. There is a constant churn of races and ethnic groups, so it's impossible to predict who is going to be in a particular neighborhood next.

Womack was an interesting guy. He never become really famous, but he was a true musician I'd say.

So... since the only cure for speculation is data, I published The Flip Side in interracial and I'm going down in flames

I think it would have gotten to a H elsewhere, given past experience. I guess I just missed the brief, but I'm getting zero feedback as well.
