Hey everyone. I'm fairly new at writing erotic stories. I have only posted one of literotica. I have several in the making however. I have had many many requests for a follow up story to the one I have posted, "Zoe's Night Out". My problem is this: I have no clue as to what to write now. None of my other stories fit what is happening with Zoe. Does anyone have suggestions for how to get inspiration or possibly full blown ideas that I could build from. Just the next sentence or two would help greatly. Thanks everyone. It means a great deal to me.
 
Try outlining a story plot. Start with where you left off and just start thinking of what could or should happen next. You can draw circles from one act to the next, or simply put it into outline form. For example:

A. Samatha is bored and horny
1. she wants to masturbate
2. she starts to while reading a story
3. she undresses
B. Her roommate walks in
1. they start at each other for a long moment
2. her roommate is turned on
3. Samatha wants to be watched
C. They go at it.

You get the idea. From there just start writing using your outline. Maybe make each line in your outline a paragraph and fill in all the juicy details. If you can't think of something right off, go to the next item in your outline til you have all of them filled in. Then start editing.

Another acceptable method is to just daydream about it, and then sit and type as fast as you can. Don't worry about grammar or spelling. Just get the story out and on the paper. Don't even worry about full sentences.

Once you've got something on paper, then you get to enjoy the fun of editing and re-writing.

Those are two methods that have worked well for me. :)

Just my two cents.

Hiya!
You might try reading a couple of series stories. Where the author makes a sequel or a trilogy or more. It could help you with where to go next.
Sequels aren't easy. Successful ones aren't anyway, you have all the troubles of making a good story, and then adding on the pressure of keeping it true to the original.
But, sequels are also some of the best stuff that has come out of sexual stories. They give an author a real chance to do things that they didn't fully get to do in the first story.
My advice, take all the ideas you didn't want to do from the first one, and add it on as a sequel.
 
Don't necessarily be pressured into writing a sequel: some stories work better on their own.

But if you're stuck with how to progress, the thing that always sparks me off is knowing one thing:

a story is all about the resolution of a problem (or problems).

So think of a problem that your lead character may have that keeps him or her from true happiness, and then try to imagine what set of circumstances or what kind of action would lead to this character solving that problem.

Examples of problems include: losing a lover, fancying someone but not yet having them, being bored of the normal lifestyle, having a particular fantasy/fetish that desperately needs to be explored and so on...there's countless.

Another thing that helps me to think of a story is to know that an easy way to explore characters is to introduce conflict between them, then find a way to resolve that. Romeo and Juliet is the greatest example of this kind of story, with two lovers on separate sides of a blood feud. But again, there are countless possible variations.

Hope this helps!

First,in order to truly create an erotic story,you need to see it develope in your mind.Fantasy,and Fiction are relative to Fact.

So in your mind,create a vision of that which is what you want others to read about.Ask yourself,WHAT do I want to do to the people who read my story.When you have decided,then think of ways to describe SOMETHING that turns YOU on.Most often,what turns YOU on,will be what turns on a specifically targeted audience.

Remember this last bit,for it is MOST important.

Ya can't please them ALL !
 
Well, I tell you what I would like to see.

First, I would have liked the two girl's to have on and very near Zoe to tease her. Then, just as they start to untie her to let her join in the fun, they hear someone open the front door.

There is a frantic race to get out of the house and Alexia loses the keys to the cuffs. Turns out Alexia was only house sitting, so they split, leaving Zoe in the hands of an older more experience and demanding woman.

Beth,

I have always found that using a personal experience as a springboard is very effective. For example: My wife and I went to Las Vegas a while back, and it has always been one of her fantasies to be in a threesome with another woman (who am I to argue). While in vegas, we did go to a gentlemens club, which was an incredibly erotic experience for us both. That is all that actually happened. If I were to write a story about that (and perhaps I should, now that I'm inspired) I would follow it up with what could have happened (meeting one of the ladies after her shift, etc., etc. You get the point. It is merely a suggestion, but I hope it helps.

Writing a story.

The first thing you must remember is that you can never write to please your readers. No that is not as strange as it sounds. The only time I ever write for a specific reason is when i am writing a story for a peson who requested it. Other than that, i write only to please myself. I write the things that I have experienced or fantasized about. When i write a story, and it receives good comments or bad, I am already thinking about where the story can go from there. If you feel you need to write a sequel, then think about the things you would like to see happen from the point where you left off. Will she continue to be the person she is or will she become even more of what you wish her to be. Will she grow with her experience, or shrink into herself.
