Is your first posted story here now an embarrassment to you?

[NoJo]

Mine is. I keep it on here as a sobering reminder that I can be an utter fool.


How about you? Are you proud, embarrased, or "meh" about your first story here?

As my first story is still my only story here... I am quite proud of it. Moreso, I am quite happy about the topic of it. My story is a non-fiction account of what happened for when I lost my virginity.

I posted that when my wife and I were separated due to my job, and we were using Lit to vicariously have fun... and post stories back and forth... primarily for each other.

Well, for some reason I couldn't post stories initially, and I posted them on the General Board.

That was interesting, but most often pearls before swine.

The writing? *shudder* Good storylines (mostly true stories) but the writing was abysmal.

That being said, I still need to work on "it's" and "its". Just can't seem to wrap my head aound those.

I am still pretty proud of my first actual posted story, but I am also amused when I read it. There's a big difference in my writing now.

I guess I must be since it's no longer on here.

Oh wait! I sold it to a publisher.

Yep. Mine is too. Not just the first, a lot of my early ones. The first is kind of better than the duds that followed.

Joe, I think I responded to your first on the story feedback forum way back when.

I'm humbled and strangely aroused

 

[glynndah]

Oh, the story's just fine. It's those boldfaced neon typos that kinda embarrass me.

 

[sr71plt]

No. My first of 283 posted here is sitting at a 4.60 rating with 30 votes (which isn't bad for that category). The last comment on it is "This has to be one of the best stories I've read here." All happy here with early stories.

 

[carsonshepherd]

I'm indifferent toward my first story I posted here. It was fun to write, and it's not like it was my first try at erotica. It wasn't horrible. *shrugs* As to whether my writing is better... well, I hope it is, but I don't really know.

 

[voluptuary_manque]

Since I only have 7 and have only been around for a year, no. The later ones are better but that's just evidence of an ability to learn. Nothing to be ashamed of.

 

[English Lady]

I tidied my first one up a while back..a year or two ago in fact, so I feel kinda "meh" about it now. It's not Blisse at it's best but it is my humble beginning and as such it is a cherished part of me

 

[CrimsonMaiden]

Considering I ran my first story through the SDC... I think it rather good. Under my first incarnation here at Lit, the story sat at a 4.76... which is not bad considering it was in the BDSM category, and I don't practice the life style. Now up on my "writing" ID after a couple of years absence, it's not fared as well under the new voting system. It dropped 0.5 in score. I'm still really happy with it though.

 

[starrkers]

I've only been around about a year, but I'm still pretty happy with my first ones (first two posted on the same day). They both gained (and held) Hs. They're probably better than some of my later efforts.

 

[oggbashan]

No. I posted several in 2002 that I had written earlier.

Their themes reflect the Yahoo Groups that I had been visiting.

I wouldn't write them now but they are nearly 8 years old.

I hope that my writing skills have improved.

Deleted it a long time ago. Embarrassing shit. Two MILFs going down on a young guy in the middle of a mall food court. Eeesh.

 

[jomar]

No more so than the others.

 

[Trombonus]

It's a little embarrassing yeah. I've been meaning to add the second part of the story in for quite some time, but the plot is just ridiculous. Oh well, live and learn.

 

[hmmnmm]

every single consonant and vowel and period and comma; every apostrophe and noun and pronoun and verb and every sentence or sentence fragment; every paragraph and page and thought, since day 1, submission 1. Especially every cock, pussy, cum, clit, and nub, and all the rest. About time for another mass deletion, and start all over, because it's kinda addicting.

 

[cloudy]

yeah, it sucks, pretty much.

 

[dr_mabeuse]

I'd been writing fiction and porn long before I came here. "Morzhay Cosmetics" was my first posting at Lit. It had no point but juice, the squirting and squandering thereof, and had a kind of mindless joy which I don't miss. I hate the sound of that word though: "Morzhay". I originally wanted to spell it with a Chinese X -- Morxhay -- but then I realized no one would pronounce it that way.

What gets me is how you can keep your follies in plain sight, Joe. I bury mine in a hurry.

 

[MarshAlien]

Nope. Downhill ever since in fact. This is a water slide, isn't it?

I'd posted on one other site, and picked what I thought was my best, Goin' Fishin', to bring to Lit first. And with Lit identifying "similar" stories by Daniellekitten and S-Des, I think it's doing pretty well.

 

[Boota]

Mine is still here and it's pretty good. It's in a print anthology too, but I still got to keep it up here.

 

[TE999]

The first erotic story I ever wrote earned an 'H' and still sits at 4.65. It also received Special Mention on the New Story Reviews thread.

I was encouraged to write another which earned an 'H' and sits at 4.73.

The rest is history.

Did I make errors? Sure.

Would I change them. No.

They show my evolution as an erotica writer.

 

[tickledkitty]

Maybe a little. It's pretty long on stroke and short on plot. I've thought about pulling it, but it's at 4.68 and had been at 4.7 not too long ago, so people must like it. I'll leave it for now.
