Okay I've been writing for some time now, and I know I work best in a collaborative environment. I am completely open to suggestion and changes to my writing (providing you don't mind my tendency and penchant for arguing). I have written two parts to an ongoing series wherein I explore writing in the second person perspective. I have written other short pieces using this style, but they were more experimental and I'm not including them in this series. I take most of my inspiration from a mixture of truth and fantasy to write these stories, because of this there will always be an inconsistent amount of time between each installment. This also means that the content/themes within the stories will vary (for example: one story might be very vanilla where the next explores exhibitionism)

I would PREFER to work with the same person for each of these, providing, of course, that they enjoy working with me.

That said, I will be upfront with my main issues. I have a terrible habit of breaking up the sentences with commas and the like where I feel that natural pauses in speech would go (clarification: When I'm writing I'm thinking about how I would narrate this story orally and insert my pauses accordingly). I know this is wrong, but stopping myself tends to ruin my progress. So, you can probably expect to see quite a few run-ons. I am also terrible at editing my own work due to natural bias.

As I stated above, I work best collaboratively and I would like this relationship to work that way. So this is how I would envision the perfect way of working with you:

Step 1: I come up with the idea for the story and plot it out in general terms.
Step 2: I tell you about the idea, show you the "outline", and we discuss it.
Step 3: I write the story.
Step 4: I ship the story off to you and give you a chance to read it, then we discuss it as a story, what works, what doesn't, was there any awkward phrasing, were there descriptions you think could use work? (you can yell at me for the numerous grammatical errors, but I'd prefer not to go over them at this stage)
Step 5: I make changes based on our conversation and then re-submit the story to you.
Step 6: You red line/mark up the work for the grammatical/technical/minor issues and send it back to me.
Step 7: I make the changes.
Step 8: we both go over it to see if we're satisfied.
Step 9: Submit to Literotica

I know this process might require a larger investment than you might be used to, requiring what might be more-than-standard involvement and time (as I am fairly new to the literotica forums this is just an assumption, sorry if I'm wrong). I am, however, realistic and if the above doesn't work for you, we can tailor it till it fits for both of us. OR if I'm incredibly desperate we can just do it your way.

Here are links to my previously approved stories in this series for you to get an idea of what you'd be getting yourself into:

If you would like to talk to me privately, please feel free to PM me. We can exchange AIM SNs or Google Talk emails for more in-depth, real-time conversation.

I look forward to talking and working with you.

1. Submit to me

2. Repeat step 1

Just kidding. You write pretty well. Just so you know what you're getting involved in, I'm only a twelfth-grade editor. Not a commercial editor. But good enough for these parts. And I write too.

Saw your stories. I personally like there to be a reason for the sex. Don't just jump into it.

Let me share this link with you:

Let me know.

Been around the block once or twice <wink>
 
If AS works with you, Felix you will be very lucky. I've had my differences with him, but I've always greatly respected his work ethic. He is an awesome mentor and he won't abandon you until you tell him that you're good to walk on your own.

AS: Glad to see you back and that your health is getting better. I heard about your heart attack ordeal and I'm happy to see you back where you belong - ==> Right here.:D
 
Thanks LadyC! I'm trying not to spend as much time here, just check in from time to time. A heart attack changes one's priorities.
