Hi Literoticans. I'm a long time member and frequent visitor just starting to somewhat seriously put some words to paper. I know you're a cool and honest bunch and I was looking for a little feedback on a snippet of a story I've started. Helpful ideas are appreciated. Thank you.


Richard was late. He knew Tom and Harry wouldn’t mind, but he still prided himself on being punctual. Hurrying into the diner he didn’t even stop to pick out a server and barely even registered the chorus of several female “Hellos” as he spotted his brunch companions. As he approached Tom and Harry were chatting about some game they both played and their current kill count. He was never much of a social gamer like them, but he did sometimes consider making an account. If only to have a little more in common with them. Taking an empty seat at the booth, Tommy spoke first. “Richard! Good to see you make it.” Tom was a somewhat rotund character. The part owner of a comic store, Tom looked exactly like someone who didn’t leave his house and subsisted on cheetoes and mountain dew.
Richard was a little embarrassed. “Sorry to keep you waiting, I hope you guys didn’t already eat.”
Harry looked up from his lap where he’d been smiling gently and chuckled. “Don’t worry, my friend. We just ordered about five minutes ago and were just catching up.” Harry was one of Richard’s coworkers and in addition to liking videogames, he was a major car buff and owner of a wild looking gotee.
As Richard sat down, a waitress promptly appeared to hand him a menu, leaning over slightly so her naked tits hung temptingly within arms reach. “Hello sir. Can I start you off with something to drink or would you like to order or take a few minutes?”
Richard glanced at the thong clad, topless brunette’s rack for a few seconds before deciding she was a low c-cup and handing her the menu back. “Thank you, I’ll have a soda and club sandwich. French fries and hold the tomatoes please.”
Writing down his order on a small pad she had clipped to a thin belt around her waist that was her only other article of clothing beyond her purple thong and tennis shoes, the waitress confirmed it. “Alright sir. Would you also like to choose one of our girls or would you prefer I send someone over?”
Richard thought about letting her choose someone or requesting her personally before deciding to look over the current staff situation at the front door. What looked like roughly two dozen girls, eighteen to early thirties were milling in the front. Some topless, some in bikinis, a couple nude but for the shoes they were wearing. Spying a tall, busty, raven-haired beauty in a iridescent blue micro-bikini, Richard pointed her out to the waitress. “No problem,” the waitress responded. “I’ll grab her right away.”
Turning back to his brunch companions as the waitress moved off, Richard tuned into the conversation they had continued while he had been ordering. Tom was talking about some new weapon in the game. “…and that’s why I prefer a long range rifle. It keeps you both in and ou-ahhh!” Jumping slightly, Tom looked down and spoke to his sizeable gut. “Watch the teeth! Is scraping a customer’s dick in your job description?” Richard heard something muffled from beneath the table while Tom frowned down. “Fine, but one more and I’m asking for someone else.” Shifting a bit, Tom’s sour expression mellowed out as his girl continued to fluff him under the table, maneuvering around his paunch. Richard leaned over slightly to see the rather curvy, nude woman under the table angle her head a bit and readjust herself on her hands and knees on the padded flooring underneath the table before the short, black bob of hair started to move again. Turning to look at Harry next to him, he saw a long, glossy, light brown ponytail repeatedly rising and falling in his lap too. Casually looking around the diner, Richard saw almost every male patron had the back of a girl’s head bobbing in their laps. One or two he noticed the girls sucking them off were fully clothed and sitting next to them, meaning it was a girlfriend or date. But the only guys who were not receiving blowjobs were either gay or just not in the mood.
 
Hi, welcome to the AH, good luck with your writing.

But there is a rule here we're not supposed to post more than a paragraph of a story on the forums.

Your best bet is to finish it, post it then when its live on the site start a thread in the feedback forum asking people what they think. Make sure you include the link so people can read it.
 
Welcome to the crazyhouse. You don't have to be crazy to join in but you will be by the time you leave.

LC is correct. Stories need to be posted through yourauthors page. And if i might suggest, make sure the paragraph breaks show and keep paragraphs down to six or wight lines to make everything easier to read.

There is also a 750 word minimum for a story.
 
Tone down the word count and post it on Story Feedback forum.

Good luck. :rose:

Stories aren't to be posted on the Feedback forum anymore than they are to be posted here. All stories have to be submitted on the story side so they can be checked by Laurel. Only a paragraph or so can be posted.

Go to the editors forum and ask for help with a first story.

I have a question. People usually say you're not supposed to post long segments of stories not on lit.

If you have something posted here is it okay to post a long excerpt from it in a thread?

Good question but I don't have an answer to that, other than ask laurel. I've seen a paragraph or three but not much more.

I assumed that the OP is looking for feedback on an excerpt rather than the entire story, so I suggested the SF Forum. Otherwise, what you said is true. :)
 
I don't think there's any place on the forum to discuss excerpts of stories before they are posted to the story file. I'm not sure anymore what is supposed to be posted to the Story Discussion Circle, as what is given on what that forum is for doesn't seem to be a function here anymore. The Story Feedback forum is explicitly for stories that have already been posted to the story file.
 
I think story discussion should be absorbed into story ideas because it seems more along those lines these days and it has very little traffic, maybe the least of all the forums.
