Does anyone know about your stories?

[DarlingNikki]

I've only told three people I'm writing stories and haven't told any of them where I'm posting. Not a reflection on Lit, which I think is a great site, I'm just too embarrassed to have anyone I know read my stories. I would feel the same way even if the stories were sex-free, but the sex part makes it even more difficult. Is it just me? Do you guys share? And with people besides partners?

 

[Chicklet]

everyone at work knows what I write, and I've lent printed copies to some of them. My friends read them, my parents even do. I guess I'm pretty open about it = )

[deliciously_naughty]

I'm pretty open about it with friends...at work all they know is that I'm writing a "novel"...which of course I am

 

[TheEarl]

I keep this as secret as I possibly can. I have seen a preview of what it would be like if I revealed that I did this to everyone and it was only through the fact that no-one believed the person who spread the rumour that it didn't go into full production.

Only two people know, my sister and one of my best friends, and I trust them more than anyone in the world.

I have yet to tell a soul. People already know I look at too much porn let alone. Creating my own would make me certifiable to some of the prudes I know.

 

[DarlingNikki]

Wow, Chicklet. Your parents?

Maybe I shouldn't feel so scared to show my stuff to my guy-I'm-seeing.

 

[jfinn]

I do use a nym to protect myself on the net, but as for RL friends and family, I don't really care who knows.

Hi

My wife reads my stories, she won't let me post them until she's added her bit bless her.
Other than that I don't advertise the fact, but as the avatar picture next to me now is real and only taken a couple of months ago, if anyone who knows me visits the site, they'll know who I am soon enough. It doesn't worry me, I'll take my 15 minutes of fame anytime.

pops...........

 

[The_old_man]

My wife knows, several friends suspect.

My wife even edits for me, and has submited several stories herself!

 

[Dirt Man]

Every body I know, knows that I am a writer..

But not everyone I know knows about my seedyer script, or that I post here. Nor will I tell those who I don't think are capable of reading such material. It's a personal thing to write in the first place. Hell, even my legitimate work gets snubbed by my family, so why should I let them know about this. LOL If they can't show any interest in my books by buying at least one, then they aren't going to get my work for free either. LOL

[Octavian]

My wife knows I have written an erotic story but she has never read it and doesn't want to.

I try to be discreet about this pastime but I wouldn't worry if any of my friends knew. My only concern is that my two daughters (31 and 29) might find out. I think they would be horrified!

Either he will chicken out, or he will fall even deeper in love with you.

I've told my hubby, my mum, and some of my best friends. I seriously doubt anyone of them has read any of my stories, though.

 

[Wicked-N-Erotic]

Hubby, my sis and brother in-laws, and a few close friends know I write, they think it's great. My sister and mom read my first one, mom said it was smut and sis said I was sick so I haven't shared any more of them with them. My in-laws love them, they've wanted me to write one for them or are always asking for new ones to read. The brother in-laws' take printed copies to work and share. Only a few know I post on lit, mainly the ones who have internet access. I really don't care who knows I write erotica because anyone who knows me knows what a wild imagination I have and that I'm open minded.

My Stories

 

[SexyChele]

Very few know that I write erotica. I am becoming more open to telling people, but I could never tell my mother! Damn, I sometimes wonder how in the world she ever got pregnant! I do tell the men I meet, which is probably not a good thing - it gets them thinking only along one thing. I've had a couple of people tell it just isn't "right", that I'm feeding the porn industry. However, I'm looking at it more from the aspect of being creative and releasing thoughts that I can't in real life. So, it's a good thing.

 

[Sabledrake]

My hubby and most of my friends know, read and wholeheartedly approve.

My family, well, most of them know and a couple of them read (and then tease me about them at gatherings).

My in-laws may have an idea, but I don't think they read them.

Some of my co-workers, and my boss, know (and tease me mercilessly <g>).

[SlaveMasterUK]

Everyone I know has been told that I write stories, but I have three close female friends who I have told about the erotic side and they're really pleased that I've found something I enjoy doing and that they think I'll be good at. All three have asked for and will recieve printed copies of my current project when it's finished - it's up to them whether they read or not; I don't think it's in their taste (it's a lesbian slave story and all three girls are straight; I get the feeling one is far more kinky than she lets on tho ;-).

I have a reputation for saying and doing things that scare my male friends (such as random suggestiveness of homosexuality) and they're never sure whether to believe me or not. Personally I consider myself pretty straight but wholly kinky. So a few weeks back when I said "I'd rather go home to work on my lesbian story" they just carried on the conversation as if I hadn't said a word, and haven't mentioned it since. Did they believe me? I doubt it.

Not a soul

No one I know r/t knows I write. I have directed a friend or two to; "check out this writer, you can read his stuff on lit..." but I've never acknowledged to anyone that I write.

 

[Pookie]

My fiancee and two roomies know I write erotic stories. But they already know how big a pervert I am. Others know I write "stories", but they don't know exactly what they are about.

Wanna bet they have figured it out already?

 

[Just_John1]

perhaps

they have figured it out... But they, like those of significance for Pookie, know how warped I am.

 

[SlickTony]

I can't keep from writing--most of the people I know have read stuff I write, and like it. However, they've only read my letters and stuff. Very, very, very few people know that I write erotica. Most of the people I know in the city I live in are either people I've worked with or the people in my church.

Hardly anybody in my family knows. My mother certainly doesn't know. She's one of these people who says that Cosmopolitan, for Christ's sake, is "pornographic." She did a number on me when I was fourteen, ferreting out some romantic stuff I'd scribbled (which I had hidden, and certainly had not invited her opinion on) and throwing it in my face when she was on my case about something else, and it really traumatized me; it prevented me from finishing anything for just years, let alone submitting it anywhere for publication. In fact, I vowed at the time that she would never, never get a chance to read anything I wrote until it was Published, and if I ever Published anything, she'd just have to go to the bookstore and buy it like everybody else--no galley edition for her, nosiree bob! (As it stands now, she'd just have to go to Literotica and find it, and I am sure I'm fairly safe from that.)

My daughter knows I've got stories here, but she has not read any of them, AFAIK.

My husband read the first story I published here, but I don't think he's read any of the ones I've put here since. He's cool with it, though--he's just not much into reading fiction, even mine. He thinks I'm a good writer, though.

Nobody at my work knows--I work for a social services agency that's under contract to the Department of Children & Families; I am afraid that if they knew I wrote erotica they'd think I was unfit to work for an agency that was all about protecting children. (Chele, didn't you say you were a PI--do you have the same sort of consideration?)

 

[DarlingNikki]

Interesting mix of replies... I am this close to telling an ex of mine - the one who took some pics for my forthcoming AV.

 

[SlickTony]

I am this close to telling an ex of mine -

Huh--if I were to tell my first husband, whom I have not seen in around 27 years, he probably wouldn't be surprised. He always thought I had potential that way, but he never meant it in a good way.

 

[DarlingNikki]

Hey, SlickTony - that does sound traumatic about your mother... but Cosmo is pretty pornographic these days, LOL... I'm surpised they sell it at the supermarket.

 

[SlickTony]

Well, Cosmo, Glamour --they're all pretty much of a muchness, with the latest sex tips advertised on the cover. And then you read them and realize that you've tried at least 90% of them and you know which of them works and which not so much. 'Course it could depend on your POV. I'm somewhat older than Cosmo's target readership.
