Fairies?

[UsuallyPresent]

‘ Dicktionary’ and thesaurus along with using the speech program instead of typing it all helps a lot

Unless you’re looking EVERYTHING up, and tied into some supernatural AI, there are strong glimmers of creative intelligence all over your work above. Don’t mean to embarrass you, but you’re a damn good writer with a solid grip on imagery at the minimum, something that’s out of scope for most people and all ai systems of my acquaintance.

I agree with @UsuallyPresent , have some more faith in yourself.

Don’t be nailing out your Fate like that - Dream, that’s the ticket!

There's always the 'Goblin Market'. There's a poem ripe with erotic imagery and undertones. Written by a die hard Christian too. Always found that amusing

Now who was the Queen of the Fairies again, someone tell me..? Titty-somebody, no..?

I'll get to the Bottom of this, even at the risk of making an ass of myself...

Which one, there are so many… Titania? Mab? Robin Goodfellow? Galadriel? Divine?

Titania is the queen of the summer court and Mab is the queen of the winter court.

Terry Pratchett's "Lords and Ladies" might offer inspiration.
These are classic Irish Fae, tall, beautiful, capricious, cruel, the reason people hide from noises in the night.

More Celtic than just Irish - Scotland has plenty of fae of differing types, too. And Pratchett also wrote Wee Free Men, dealing with a different take on similar tales. Of the two, both are great but I do prefer Wee Free Men’s take on the fae.

Look, as a passionate Pratchett fan, I was trying not to launch into my "OMG, NO ONE HAS MENTIONED PRATCHETT!!! HE'S THE BEST THING EVER!!! READ ALL THESE BOOKS NOW!!!!!" (Note the five exclamation points)
Lords & Ladies seemed most relevant but the Tiffany Aching cycle is amazing, especially Shephard's Crown. But Lords & Ladies was my first Pratchett, so I am biased.

Carpe Jugulum was my first. I do like how he expanded on the meaning of awesome and terrific in Lords and Ladies though.

Also, the activities Nanny Ogg apparently got upto with the horned lord in her youth.

As is your undeniable right, just as it is mine to sit over here and giggle about your relatively poor taste in such a rich body of work1

Nanny Ogg is amazing. I almost pity Casanundra, the step stool wielder was completely outclassed. If you haven’t read it, find a copy of her cookbook. Still makes me grin, remembering ‘bits’

Used to have the whole collection. Sadly I lost a few when we moved, but that wasn't one of them. We've even made a couple of the recipes, they're actually pretty good. Especially the baked potato one.

Like most of my library, parts regularly disappear into friends’ libraries and I restock the really, really good stuff. Pratchett is one author I keep restocking.

 

[KindredFlame]

I never liked Pratchett I have read some Poe, Shelley and I love Stephen King not really classic but in years to come I think he will be one of the greats. Lord of the rings, labyrinth are also on my bookshelf

 

[Statius]

Just can't keep up with this thread. So little time to read I mostly gave up on fiction works. I mostly read folklore anthologies, and mythology- my first and true love . Although Salman Rushdie frequently uses myths and fairytales from different cultures in most of his novels.

Some Poe?! Some!? Aghhhhh!!! I'm unsure we can be friends anymore....

Oh speaking of witches and what not, one that fascinates me is Black Annis. Confusing origins though. Seen both England and the Scottish Highlands. Hard to find info on that one.

Oh I've heard of her, but not really much beyond the name.

 

[Statius]

I have a book from the 80s called 'The Book Of Things That Never Were'. Love it, so much fun to flip through when I'm bored. That says she lives in highlands or moors and cannibalizes people who get lost. Google/ Internet says a former nun lives in a cave somewhere in England. Can't remember what happened that turned her into a cannibalistic witch that eats kids, though.

Good one - although we're well past Midsummer!

I had a concept that goes something like this...

A lone guy goes hiking together with a couple and their (barely adult) daughter. Could be friends or coworkers or even relatives, or even just met on the trail, whatever. He eyes the Girl, but judge her off-limits at least situationally for communal reasons, but he's got a good look of her already, not naked, at most in a bikini. They make camp and our guy take off alone a bit, for firewood or even quick hunt or whatever, and is surprised to see Girl bathing in a waterfall nude, she's kinda couldn't get there, but he's too fascinated to not watch, and get nearly caught peeping, or not, he's unsure, but the bather leaves in a hurry, without even dressing as far he sees. Guy return to camp and try to apologize to Girl without saying anything too directly, but she appears just baffled.

At night however, a girl comes into his tent with undeniably amorous intentions, and he's unable to kick her out. It's quite into the act when it clicks to him that his guest is not the Girl, but a lookalike other. He's kinda relieved but a bit disappointed both, and doesn't kick out the Fae doppelganger either, but ends up a bit standoffish, why's the mimicry, who's she's at all and so forth, but gets no answers, she leave just as sudden.

That's just the first chapter, when he returns home, it turns out the Fae has followed him, and do exhibitionist and sexual stuff mimicking various women in his vicinity. At first just for him in private, but then with other people around too. By then our guy has got a knack to tell it's Fae almost instantly, but others do not and that lead to all sorts of complications with them and the women impersonated by the Fae. I mean, imagine a coworker, accountant, storm into a meeting naked and sit on his lap and he's like, Fae, not now please. Or she's looking like the boss wife.

And he's totally not in control of any of it, although actually it's always sorta his un-addmitted fantasies she's playing out, but she does whatever she damn wants, and he's totally baffled why or how he may get rid of her before she had ruined his life totally or even where's she goes when she's not doing her misdeeds, she just goes puff for all he knows, just to appear in the most wrongfully sexy way again later, unexpectedly and unexplainable.

That’s an awesome take on the fae. That kind of uncertainty - is this that fae or what? - is hard to do well, IMO.

I’d suggest at least one mixup with a ‘real person’, where he sees a copy of the woman he’s just cum in giggling at him before scampering off, perhaps, or an illusion of a neighbor’s daughter fades after orgasm to reveal that neighbor’s wife or even the male neighbor if you’re ok going bi.

If protag tries to ignore the opportunity the fae provides, have her/it up the ante- maybe get police called on protag for peeping on the neighbors? Or more, all while wearing the protag’s face.

If he ‘gives in’, I’d be torn between getting him hooked & wanting and disappearing or to take him thru a flood of sex impressions, a wet dream sequence if you will, and state or hint at his becoming fae as he plays with mortals, perhaps one that the original fae ‘modeled’ for him.
