I want to do this in the right board

[poeticend]

Is it this one, or another?

I had a story request. I read one a long time ago and I don't remember enough keywords to find it again. Which is the appropriate board to describe it and ask if anyone else has heard of it before, or knows where to find it, title/author, etc?

Does anyone ever walk into a library and say, "I'm looking for a book I read a long time ago. I don't remember the title, the author or what it was about. Can anyone help me?"

This usually gets a better response over in the story feedback forum.

But even there you're going to need something to go on, category, basic storyline character name etc....

I used to own a secondhand bookshop. I had requests like that almost every week. Usually a few questions from me could narrow the search down to manageable proportions.

The person I couldn't help wanted to find a book from his childhood for his grandchildren. He remembered it as being a good read for younger children but his only description was "A big red book". He couldn't remember any of the stories, characters, or even if it was fiction or non-fiction.

I sold him a few cheap books suitable for the age of his grandchildren. They were so pleased that he came back next week to buy more.

But he still wanted his "Big red book". Not just any big red book, but the particular one he had had as a child...

Is it the story where a man finds his daughter works for an Escort Service?

When they meet, the daughters says, "This is a business arrangement and nothing personal should be discussed. Take me out to dinner and dancing then I will let you fuck me in your motel room. If you promise to never tell Mom about what we did and I will give you a discount. Do we have a deal?"

Actually I do remember what it was about, I was just waiting to put the description in to see if the board was right.

It was about a girl named Andrea and it chronicled her sex life from its awakening until, as I recall it ended, "she tried out at a modeling agency."

There was one scene in there where she's trying to sleep with a guy who has a major premature ejaculation problem. He passes out on her in a car after coming just from having his cock touch her pussy, but stays hard, so she continues to use his passed out self anyways.

There was another scene where one guy she had slept with before comes around her house looking for some more, this time with his friends, and her brother beats them all up since they were acting very rapey.

Then there was another scene where she starts sleeping with this one couple, the guy is either a photographer or a college teacher I THINK, but he does take a lot of pictures of her. He later sells or releases lesbo pics of her to try and discredit Andrea's then boyfriend, a black guy running for.. some kind of school office, or political office? I can't remember which. Oh, the story was also set in the 70's or 80's I think and there was some big taboo about them being interracial, like his friends were judging him for being with a white girl.

She gets in touch with a different one of her past lovers who ends up killing the photographer guy.

And I those are the scenes that really stuck with me. It was a very long story, it might have been a bootleg of a novel. I saw it on some mailing list that had a story section, I think freedailymail.com (don't go there now it became all virusy), but it might have been the book nook from WhiteShadow's too. You'd think that's certainly enough to be able to find it but the search for the main words I can recall (Andrea, model, photographer, brother, summer) couldn't locate it here or on asstr.org

It's never as good as your brain remembers it anyway.
