dialogue

*sigh* You people! Instead of bitching about how difficult/impossible/corny-carny it would be, you're supposed to take the advice above and check out MINE! Then, you're supposed to come back here and say it was brilliant. Sheesh! :rolleyes:

Ok, honest opinion time here. While I found the stories amusing and well written for what they are I have to admit I also found them a bit corny. I understand what you were trying to accomplish with them and I think you succeded admirably. But as a serious sex story I don't think it would work.

As someone else mentioned it plays out all too much like Cyber-sex.

Sorry, just my oppinion, I could be screwed up in the head.

No matter how good it is, an all-dialogue story will never be anything more than a stunt, like those stories that are written without using the letter "e".

It's hard to think of a situation where that would be the best way to tell a story.
It's hard to think of a situation where that would be the best way to tell a story, but not impossible:


Vox*
by Nicholson Baker


(...) A novel that remaps the territory of sex--solitary and telephonic, lyrical and profane, comfortable and dangerous. Written in the form of a phone conversation between two strangers, Vox is an erotic classic that places the author in the first rank of America's major writers.

*look inside the book for a little preview.


It's a very good novel, entirely composed of dialogue, almost without speech tags. I couldn't put it down, had to read it in one sitting. :D
