Come write a story with me!

[pleasure_central]

Hi!
I've been on lit for a goooood solid amount of years now (5ish?), but every time I write a story (bar one) I always end up not finishing them or not posting them, even though my writing quality has gotten far better over that time.
Looking for an author willing to help force me to complete a piece and drag me through the mud - maybe also have some fun with it!

I'm thinking of doing it on google docs so we can just bounce back and forth with it real easy

(Note im in Australia re: timezones, but I don't sleep much anyway lmfao)

any potential takers send me an email at [Email Removed] (there's an underscore in there) and I'll get back to you !

Sending y'all that luuuurv

hehe
Peace!

Ah, haven't used that in like forever. Texting probably killed a lot of that.

Might not be a bad idea to give potential collaborators some info about your stories - category, length, etc.

True cheers! the current story I just penned about a page on is a young guy all of a sudden having a voice in his head - which category I decide to fit that into is tbd - either incest/taboo, BDSM/noncon, or maybe mind control, because of where it’s up to
Incest could be simple Mum/sister situation, unfolding into the usual frenzy as it progresses
BDSM/non con would likely be a power play dynamic with someone in his life - neighbour, girl next door, someone at school (teacher?) etc.
Mind control would probs be a little more out there but could be fun with the usual creativity that it allows

As for length and time frame to work on this; would probs be a good couple of pages - maybe a few chapters, but I’m not going to turn down having fun writing this even if we only get like 2 pages done together.

And that’s exactly why I use it for my lit account

These are wildly different categories. You have the two most polarizing categories in that list. They also are very hard to combine and publish on here, since they're what's called "trump categories." Basically, any incest in a story will kick it over to Incest/Taboo, regardless of the amount. Same thing with Non-Con.

Can any of you ridiculously (wonderfully) experienced authors tell me where a story with these two elements will be categorized? Or will it be rejected for being too much of a categorization problem (which I doubt, but I'm curious)?

I've seen incest stories that have BDSM, Non-Con and Mind Control (but not all three in the same story). Non-Con and Incest from what I've seen tends to be unpopular. You can say that's because it's too much like RL incest and you can say that's because most I/T readers want to see two family members succumbing to their desires and non-con is the opposite of that.

Nothing gets rejected because it doesn't fall neatly into one category or another. You can propose a category, Laurel might place it in another, if she thinks the story will run better there.

Stories only get rejected for content violations or poor writing (punctuation, mostly).

Lol you guys haven’t got chill - I’m just saying that most things I write fall into those three categories, and the current 1.5 page size 12 calibri (body) font, stuff I’ve written into word (specific enough??) has the option of proceeding into any of the three categories - not all at once jesus (however combining two is theoretically possible)

As for how long it should be I literally made it vague noting I don’t care about length, and that if someone collaberates with me I wouldn’t mind writing as much as theyd be able to write

For me, I would come down to ownership if written equally. Who would post it on their page? and who would just receive passing credit?

I have two collaborative stories on my page and often feel guilty that the co-authors don't get the praise they deserve for putting up with me during the process. I love, loved, loved, doing those collaborations for an author challenge that Lovecraft started but there are challenges.

If it's your story and you will post it to your page then its hard to expect the same amount of input from your collaborator, if not then you need to have a chat about that before it goes pear-shaped at the end.

You could make a new author name/page for it for the two of you or you could consider a series where you could post alternate chapters to you pages so you both get the traffic and recognition.

Just something to think about before you do a collaboration.

Or do what I did for my collaboration with Jason Clearwater: post the whole story under my name, with a note in the introduction that it was collaborative, and a link to his story file in the intro. He then published a short section of the story under his name (with exactly the same story title), with a link at the end to the whole story.

We then coordinated the submissions with Laurel, who sorted out the cross-links, and published the two submissions one after the other.

That way, we both streamed our own (previously quite separate) reader bases to the story - which featured previously established characters from our own earlier stories.

The down-side of a new co-author page, if you don't collaborate often or it's the very first time, is that nobody will know who you are. Cross-linking an intro section to the whole story solved all that, and gave us two entry points from the category front page as an added bonus.

The standard lit page is approx. 3750 words long. That's about 12 word pages or there about, depending on how much dialog there is. So 1.5 word pages hasn't even reached the minimum length of 750 words, again depending on the amount of dialog.

Most word processing programmes have a word count feature.

Of course, this is just a beginning, yes?

I've seen incest stories that have BDSM, Non-Con and Mind Control (but not all three in the same story). Non-Con and Incest from what I've seen tends to be unpopular. You can say that's because it's too much like RL incest and you can say that's because most I/T readers want to see two family members succumbing to their desires and non-con is the opposite of that.

I've seen some successful stories with sons dominating moms that border on non-con, but I'd probably classify them more as D/s. That type of story can do well. When you have the younger son-older mom you dodge the problematic issues with parent dominating child.
