Not sure who you mean by "ya all" but I'll give you some info.

If you want to write a story and post it to Lit, do so. Don't sweat the vote. The type you're talking about may not get super high view and vote numbers, but so what?

If it takes some time for your story to get to the "good" stuff, you need to make sure the beginning is strong enough to keep readers interest. That applies to any story, but it's especially critical with a Lit, sex oriented story with a "slow" start. Readers at Novels and Novellas, Non-Erotic, and maybe Romance will probably be a little more patient.

There are at least two kinds of readers at Lit. Those that read for the stroke story and those that read for the story story.

Those that are here for the stroke will typically open a story and see the number of pages and leave if it's too long. Those that are here to read well done stories with character and plot expect more than a 1 page read.

Some of us read both depending on the mood..

I've found the people in the Author's Hangout forum to be the kind of people that appreciate a story on it's own merits. The story ideas forum crowd is more apt to go for the stroke stories.

Write on!!

Hi, Bigus. Welcome to the authors' hangout.

Do whichever you prefer. Personally, most of my stories start with a one paragraph intro, followed by my knocking on her door and in the third paragraph, I'm going down on her. These are like porno movie loops, strictly sex with no plot and almost no dialogue. These are stroke stories. I also have some where there is some intro. and then sex. These are also stroke stories but I have to let readers know what is going to be coming. I also have two in the romance category where they go 15,000 or so words with no sex. Again, I have to let the readers know what is coming. These are also stroke stories but if the reader wants the juicy part he or she has to skip to the end.

Dis you see "Life of Brian"?

Edited to add: In AH, people will not refer to questions as "dopey". If you ask for advice, you will get it, and you will bewelcomed to the site.

First off, look up the catagories to see which possible ones your story is going to fit into. Maybe read one or two of the top stories in that catagory to get an idea of your target audience, and what they like to read. Then write the story the way you'd like it first, and edit, edit, edit it for the readers to enjoy also before you submit it. That means reading it one last time or two all the way through after doing a spell, and grammar check to make sure that the right words are where they belong.

And welcome aboard.

Shereads..our minds run along very similar lines *L*



BigusDickus....hello and welcome and a good story wil get me reading even if theres not much sex in it at first at least

 

[Uther_Pendragon]

1) As others have already said, generally the site accepts
almost any fiction. You might not get high votes for
some types, but go ahead.
2) There is a category, novels and novelas, which is
designed for long fiction.
3) If that doesn't suit, you might try the ancient recipe
of begining in the middle of things and then doing the
character development in flashbacks. (And I do mean
"ancient" the idea goes back, at least, to Aristotle.)
A radical version of that is "Susan" on my off-Lit website.

 

[whispering_surrender]

Well, everyone else answered your question....so I'll just say welcome, come on in, wipe your feet and have fun.

That scene made me laugh until I had abdominal pains. Just from watching the faces of the guards who were trying not to laugh.

What is it with laughter, anyway? Why can't we stop if we want to? Why does it hurt?

Please explain, Bigus Dickus.

yeah, after going through the lists, i spotted the novels section. that's more my type of style, but methinks it wouldn't go over well with this crowd. ya all seem to want anal penetration from the first word. that's just fine in real life (wink) but i prefer to develop yonder characters before they go and do the nasty.


i also noticed the celebrities section with folks writing sexual stories with the weather channel's Kristina Abernathy. this just states they have not branched out and discovered the other fine pieces of work on that network. at least that's my opinion.

Sorry we're not up to your standards, big dick. Just one thing before you go, the first letter of a sentence should be capitalized.

Have a good life.

Not to mention that the first person singular subjective "I" should be capitalized whereever it appears in a sentence.

 

[deliciously_naughty]

I have several series on lit. In two of the three, there is at least one chapter that has NO sexual content, but needed to be there for furthering or ending the story purposes. In both cases, my readers responded favoritively. (sp, I know)

So true, Boxlicker. And if intended to mimic a southern (USA) drawl, "ay all" is most commonly spelled "y'all". But maybe he's one of those post-modernist, anti-grammer writers who considers punctuation and standard usage outdated barriers between the author and his reader..

Sorry Pop,

I'm covered with rue. Of course, with my luck it's probably Lash LaRue instead of Madlyn Rhue.
