How incestuous is incestuous?

[voluptuary_manque]

So in the last episode from Benthamsthwaite College, the newly inducted protagonist, having been 'altered' by the resident tentacled alien, is now "placidly compliant" with the idea that her uncle has designs on her body. This is her father's younger brother. I presume that the relationship is close enough that it falls in the "Incest" category? Is it close enough that the ravening hordes of Incest Readers will be satisfied?

One measure

If you go to

http://tags.literotica.com/incest-taboo-category-tags/uncle/

you can see for yourself how readers react to such stories in general. Little red Hs do appear there, though they seem a little sparsely strewn to me, compared with, say, those in

http://tags.literotica.com/incest-taboo-category-tags/brother sister sex/

Of course, this doesn't control for the quality of writing---which is clearly better in the latter category. (That being the one I write in. )

And be warned: If you try to alter the filters (near the top of the page) after you go to one of these pages, the links come up wrong and you get error messages. There's a bug in the way the site constructs the URLs when you make such alterations.

Well it's uncle/niece so sure it works. From what I have seen though that is one of the less popular couplings. Mother/son rules followed by siblings then Daddy/daughter. Honestly Aunt/Nephew rates well too.

But yeah this is incest. Only time they get upset is if you start making them adopted or step/foster, then they get pissy. Junkies need their fix ya know.

It's one of the lighter readership themes in the category, but most certainly within scope.

An Unk bonk is definitely Incest. It may not be enough for the Mom/Son, Dad/Sis crowd, but close enough for government work.

I wrote an Incest story about cousin's getting it on which did okay, but was informed in the comments that Cuz/Cuz is not considered Incest in many states. Go figure.

 

[voluptuary_manque]

My reason for asking is that the only comment the story got was that the reader was waiting for the incest chapter so I figured . . .

Thanx

Bear.... I think your preoccupation with tentacles is because you want more than two paws.....just saying

Incest can be sexy when it's not really incest....as in a step-brother or father....or step-uncles.....

 

[voluptuary_manque]

No, this story is blood uncle. I'm writing it as a request from an anonymous reader. I get so few comments I feel obliged to react when someone asks for something, like a sequel or this.

 

[lovecraft68]

My only thought here is wondering if the incest crowd, which more often than not likes their incest "formulaic" shall we say is going to be okay with the non human sci fi aspects of this.

I am a huge incest fan, but personally you can keep aliens and tentacles and what have you over in the categories it belongs in. Now I don't mean offense, its just my tatses but I feel they would be shared by many.

I foresee a lot of flaming. But also realize that with the incest it can't go into the other categories. Hopefully you're not expecting great reactions from this and writing for fun and your requester.

Incest is a trump card, and it's normally a default when encountered by the moderators, but it's not absolute by any means.

A story with a non-human character important to the plot can easily go into Sci-Fi&Fantasy or Non-Human with an appropriate incest disclaimer at the top and not suffer any consequences. You just need to put a note in the "notes" section and give a good reason why it belongs in the category where it belongs.

The idea that "incest has to go in incest!" is easy enough to disprove with only the tiniest bit of research. I can think of at least 7 categories off the top of my head that have incest stories outside of the category. No doubt there are probably more.

Yep. I know for a fact that you'll find them in GM, for instance.

 

[voluptuary_manque]

Really? Well, I haven't even go the 'story board' of events going so there is plenty of leeway for either category. I guess it would depend on whether I start by having her wake up spooned between her aunt and uncle or whether I start by having Teddy (the alien) call her in for a report . . . and a sound fucking, of course. I'll think on this.

It still runs the risk. A lot of people don;t read the authors notes. It's too much work, half the time they don;t read the tag lines. Honestly it would do better out of the straight incest category, but incest is still a how do you put it in your review thread " a squick" factor?

I think it's a hard sell story period.

Depends upon the category. From what I've seen, GM readers are fine with it. I know that the readers in my categories pay attention to author's notes. Same seems true of N&N and Chain.

Honestly, if warned up front, many of the categories have readerships that are perfectly content to skip a story that contains content they don't like without 1-voting it and leaving nasty comments. It's only in categories like LW where a warning is used as a signpost to blast the story unread.

( Which is probably just as likely without the warning... That's just the readership there )

The weird thing is that in my single LW story the readers spent more time flaming each other than they did my story. The majority of them actually liked having the husband and wife beat the bad guys. Not the usual LW result. Makes me wonder, what is it that causes a certain percentage of that readership root for having the husband reduced to a sniveling cuckold? I'm sure there's a doctoral dissertation in Abnormal Psych waiting there to be written . . . by someone else!

I'll take your word for it. From my experience I've had some yo-yos complain about something I warned them about upfront so either they didn't read the note or thought I was lying to them or something.

In the 3rd part of my SWB finale I had an extremely graphic scene. I warned them at the end of part two, had the warning on my home page for a week before three went up, warned them again at the start of 3 and... received a dozen e-mails about how sick I was and there's no room for that in that category and...whatever.

Mainly my warnings are about the length of my stories. I don;t write quick stroke I have fun telling the story so most of my work is 4-5 pages (even my contest entry is 4) so I tell people if you're looking for a quick stroke this may not be for you. Inevitably I get "it was okay, but too long blah blah blah.

Oh well watcha gonna do?

 

[voluptuary_manque]

Keep writing what you like and tell 'em to fuck off.

Oh, I always write my way. That's why my incest series was getting 100 votes per chapter instead of the 1000 the stroke stories get.

I'm gearing up to start a long BDSM series. The real flaming should begin over there. They are harder to please then the incest folk.

Incest actually has it's share of pure flamer trolls as well. There's a camp of "purists" who have to believe that every story is a biography that is either romance or pure bump-and-grind, and only the closest blood relations qualify.

From what I've seen of BDSM comments, there's a strong camp of purists there as well. They seem to single out stories that stray from "safe, sane, consentual" into abuse, though.

Can't fault them much for that. The lifestyle has a bad enough name as it is for the people involved who are in perfectly happy, functional relationships. No need to let wannabes perpetuate a stereotype or encourage the scum who attach themeselves to the lifestyle without having a clue what it's actually about.

Well I have lived the lifestyle for years and you're right. Most BDSM lifers are not the whips and chains whackos you see on TV and we abhor the overly abusive sadists who use the lifestyle as an excuse for their sick behavior.

My BDSM sex stories are close though. I prefer my sex extremely rough (always consensual though the character always has an out, but does not take it) so I'll see how I do. My two part Breaking of Allison did okay score wise -low 4.5's for each-but I did have a few people say it was a fine line with non con.

I agree with incest purists. I myself enjoy the romantic incest stories and always try to have that aspect, in my stories. To me the emotional taboo is more exciting then the sex.

... received a dozen e-mails about how sick I was…

Well, gosh, LC. We all know how sick you are. We're surprised it was only a dozen.

I used to get more, but as I continued to keep pushing the bar I think they gave up. These are the die hards. Including one very sweet woman who keeps quoting scripture and praying for my soul.
