Lit for Dummies.

[sweetnpetite]

I'm not very good at following peoples 'life stories' here on lit, and I'm finding myself confused a lot. Like have all the r/l couples broken up and become lit couples or what? who's having well known (for lit) affairs? Who's desperately hiding there affiliation with the porn site from there lovers/spouses? ect. ect. Anyone care to write a cliffs notes version of how your life has changed/progressed since you started posting at lit? (only as much as you've already reavealed, not prying, just trying to get the story streat)

My cliff notes life- not much has changed. I went from working at a convienience store to having one more kid and being a stay at home mother. I've created 10,000 alts, a few of which are known here and most of which I barely even post under. I've been with the same guy the whole time and he showed me the site, so it's no secret from him. That's it

You?

 

[minsue]

I never read cliffs notes, but I'm guessing it would go something like this

I found lit.

I found women to flirt with and one who caught my heart without even trying, whether she wants it or not.

I found it no longer possible to pretend in real life.

My husband moved out a week ago.

We're much happier now.

Thanks for sharing.

That's sad... but lovely.

Is the woman known? Or is it a secret? ARe you together/ getting together/ corresponding?

Best of luck.

Spend some more time here, sweets, and you'll likely know.

Yannow, even then it's not all that easy. You're so gosh darn loving towards everyone, and everyone seems to want a piece of gosling.

Anyway, me is pretty easy to sum up: I came, I posted, I quit my job, I posted some more. Still the same dude.

One could say the same about you, poet boy.

My Lit Cliff's notes...as best as I can sum up without hurting anyone involved...

I started writing a while back. I started writing stroke because I wanted to just keep writing, and that was a very good topic to keep my interested. I found Lit one day while searching for porn stories. That's how I came here.

One day I got brave enough to start posting in the forum boards to learn how to submit stories. I quickly fled from the GB to here. I met several great people and amazing writers who encouraged me and also improved the level of my writing.

Personal relations at home declined. I came to Lit every night at ignored the individual I should have been paying attention to. The fact is that I didn't want to pay attention.

I had a rondevouz with someone from Lit. It's not secret.

After the rondevouz things got worse at home until the current situation. Things are looking much more optimistic there though. The futrue holds much hope.

I've told my family, except for my dad, that I write porn. Well...I haven't told my grandpa either...so most of my family. Even my mother in law knows. No one really cares or looks down on me. They know my heart and me as a person.

I told a few friends at work. Again no negative attitudes.

That's the short version.

 

[elsol]

I write less.

Editing my story content for literotica and hanging on the forum is new way for me to procrastinate.

Pretty creative, I think.

Sincerely,
ElSol

I haven't been here a really long time, so my bio will be pretty short.

Came to Lit and wrote a few fabulous stroke stories, some poems, and a kick-ass essay (okay, okay: shameless plugging )

I am in college, so I have been absent on the boards a lot, due to finals. I'm online a lot more, now, because it's summer break (but only until July, for me).

Latest news: I took a Comp class last semester and my professor approached me about publishing my work in the next text book!! Yay me!!

I spend way too much time on the boards and not enough time writing. The last thing I wrote was over a month ago. I really should write more. *sigh*

Anyway, nothing dramatic here. No huge life changes or anything. My husband is aware of my Lit use and encourages it. I don't have any children or career changes or anything like that. Just a college girl writin' smut.

My dear Vella, there can never be too much of you. Imagine how much better the world would be if there was in fact more of you. I think all of mankind would be better off.

 

[sophia jane]

I haven't been here long either, but lit has changed me already.

I wrote a few poems.

I lurked on lit, submitted the poems.

Submitted a story.

Joined lit and started posting like a mad woman.

Found a few really great friends who have made my life so much better ( to them).

I was already going through a divorce when I joined lit, but now I feel alot more confident about it.

I fell in love for the first time.

Oh, and I wrote lots more porn. A few people in RL know, but not many. Most of those in my family are super conservative, so telling them I write porn would be like telling them I'm the devil.

[mlady_france]

In the short time I've been here I have changed a lot.

I am no longer afraid to express who I am.
I found the courage to end a bad marriage.
I started writing again, something I haven't done in almost 3 years. I still can't figure out exactly why I quit, but I'm glad I found that lost love again.
My personal business has grown to the point I'm actually making some money now.
And I've found a group of caring people who don't mind me venting and bitching when I need to. Thanks guys.
I've also started the process of discovering other sides of myself that have yet to be explored.
I also wrote my first short story in almost 4 years.

 

[maggot420]

I found lit one day and decided to post a story.
then i had surgery, quit my job, got hooked on painkillers, found a new job, got off the pk's, was banished to the northern frozen wastes for a couple of months, got separated, moved to a new apartment, and i still haven't finished the story.
somewhere in there i fell in love with yui but i havent told her yet so let's just keep it our little secret

im still amazed at how supportive and generous everyone on AH is. i try to lay low in case they find out what a degenerate i am and kick me out but so far i think ive managed to keep a low profile and no one has noticed.

I started writing and posting porn elsewhere, then moved much of the best of it to here. My husband knows and is happy that I'm getting good feedback. I may be moving into a permanent position at the job I'm temping for, but I haven't heard yet if I am. I hope so, though. The job itself isn't all that great, but the company's really supportive and the people I'd be working WITH are fantastic. I've found out in my 32 years so far that yes, you can do just about any job as long as the people you're working with aren't utter jerks.

 

[LadyJeanne]

I quit my job, found Lit, starting writing stories and poems. Did a lot of traveling. Wrote more. Fell back in love with an old flame; he knew about my porn and liked it when I wrote personal porn for him. My close friends know I write porn, but they don't know for which website. They think it's great. My flame and I broke up, though now he's hanging around and flirting with me again. Traveled some more. Accepted a new job. Am still here, writing more poetry than stories. Never had a thing with anyone on Lit.

 

[Belegon]

I write when my muse hits me. It means I am inconsistent but I enjoy it. I found Lit as a reader and then decided to try out my writing skills for the first time in many years. I had fun with it, kept it up. Made some friends. I stick around now mostly for that.

Quite a few people in my RL know, and my best friend even co-wrote with me for awhile. My wife knows about Lit. I'm not much for hiding things of this nature. I would wish for her to like it, but I have to be content with her accepting it.

 

[Halo_n_horns]

My cliff notes...

I don't have to hide anything from my wife. She knows all about my art and writing and my mild addiction to almost all things erotic.

Has Lit changed me? Eh. Most of the time I feel that I'm one of those who is more so ignored than taken into any kind of appreciative envelope. But, otherwise, Lit has been a place where I've been at least pleasantly tolerated, despite a few scuffs here and there, and managed to meet at least a few individuals who have become rather special to my Lit experience.

Then again, perhaps I'm just an attention whore who has not yet come to grips with being an attention whore. How does one ever really know?

Whatever the case may be, this place is a pleasant distraction, over all, and I'll probably enjoy it here for some time to come.

Short version:

I've been writing short erotic stories for years but had never published, posted or even shared them with anyone other than my wife. I found this site while surfing for porn. When I checked out the site a bit more I found the A.H. and lurked for a bit. Started posting here around the same time I posted my first story, managing to piss off most of the people here at the time but held on and am still here. (Much to the distatse of some I'm sure. Oh well.)

On the real life side, I'm still married to the same wonderful woman, almost 13 years now and still going strong. Been through some hard times, emotionaly, physicly and monetarily but neither of us are the quiting type. Learned a lot and both of us are still learning, looking to try some new things but basicly just hanging on and hanging out.

For the one or two fans of my writing expect to see more of my stories soon. I just found a disc with something like twenty of my older stories on it and have started editing them with the intent of posting them on Lit. (That should frost a few cookies.)

I don't usually have a whole lot to say to you, but I'm certainly glad you're still here. (Maybe it's because you haven't pissed me off yet, lol)



Stick around... and spill some more dirt (all of y'all)

I retired from my main career with back injury and then started another career. That lasted just over 5 years until I was made redundant illegally. They paid compensation and that plus the pension from the first career made me just about financially viable but unemployed.

I started a secondhand bookshop when no one would employ me (too old, too experienced, over-qualified, too scary - at least that one was honest).

While I sat in the bookshop waiting for the infrequent customers I started writing stories for Yahoo Adult Groups (then clubs) because I was very disappointed with the stories posted in their Files. Most of my early stories were biased towards specific Yahoo Groups and their interest. I still write some stories with very limited appeal for a restricted audience.

I found a link to Literotica and copied some of my stories here. The response was better than from most Yahoo Groups (typical Yahoo response 'Great - give us more' That's it. Four ******* words as the reaction to 10,000 of mine!) I began to write more and eventually started lurking on the AH. I've been a fixture ever since concentrating my writing for the competitions.

My wife and daughters know that I write for Lit but are not interested. They have their own hobbies and interests - writing porn is mine.

Hmmmm ...

Found Lit while Googling for erotic short stories. Had never written anything outside of English classes, but decided I could probably do as well -- or better -- than much of what I encountered online. Posted my first Lit story in Sep '03. Found the forums in Sep '04 and hopped right in the water. Got bit by the poetry bug last fall. Wrote & posted my first ever poem in October. Must be doing something right, since both my stories & my poetry are pretty well received.

I've learned more about writing from colleagues in the AH than I ever did in school, and my writing has improved a great deal over the past 7 months. I don't think I have the stamina to write longer works -- or maybe it's just ADD. Still learning/growing, though (and hope I never stop).

In RL? Work-from-home mom, advocate/activist, wife (somewhat reluctantly, but it's not an entirely unpleasant gig), chronic organizer and general pain in authority's ass. Super loyal friend and confidant and all around nice person.

You sure are and I'll always appreciate your wonderful presence.
