Looking for author

[Handsomehim]

Looking for author. I have some ideas. Looking for an author who may want to write about them.

Hello. You might have better luck if you gave us some more info. Many authors tend to stick in one or two categories.

As another thought, you might also want to try asking in Story Ideas. Good luck.

Hi,

You may find someone who is willing to help, but it doesn’t really work this way that often. Authors are not sitting around yearning for someone to give them an idea so that they can write. We all have lots of our own ideas, too many to write them all.

Some authors do paid commissions, but I don’t get the sense that this is what you want. Reading between the lines, you want someone to do the hard work of making your fantasy into a story. It’s not that likely that anyone will do that. Writing takes time and effort, why expend that one someone else’s ideas when you have your own?

Having said that, please share what your ideas are. They might resonate with someone here.

Good luck!

Sorta what she said.

To be frank, you're likely to get a better result posing your inquiry in the Story Ideas forum. Judging from responses to similar past requests, most of us here have plenty of our own story ideas bouncing around in our heads and are wearing our fingers into nubs getting them down on paper in electrons.

That said, there are professional ghost writers among us, so if you're prepared to back your creative thoughts with a sometimes considerable amount of by-the-hour, maybe one of them will DM you with rates and their expectations.

Or you could write your own. Many of us got our start here that way.

Most of the joy I get from writing is being in the same room with my characters and having them guide me with their ideas.

Thanks. I paid an author once before and was not happy with the effort given and how expensive it cost to write it.

Thanks for honest reply. I’ll just label it as a pipe dream. I paid an author once and the final product was disastrous.

What are you saying here?

If I were to say that, what I'd mean is this: if I'm going to write something, it's going to be because I know the characters backwards and forwards and I feel like I'm writing down the things that they'd doing if they're real. I don't feel like I'm coming up with plots or events or stories; I'm being led by the people I'm writing about to find those things.

I'm not sure I could take someone else's concept and write it unless I strongly connected, independently, with the characters they wanted.

 

[Dearelliot]

What are you saying here?

As my story unfolds, I dont write with a finished story in mind, my characters come alive and have feelings, that helps me develop my story...It is as if, how they react to the circumstances I put them in, will decide the next sequence of events.

 

[Handsomehim]

I honestly don’t know how I want the story to end. Personally I’d leave it to the author.

Many of us start with only a vague idea of how the story will end. Don't let such uncertainty stop you from starting.

I’m looking a writer willing to take the idea and run with it

What is stopping you from giving it a go yourself?

It was only during COVID that I started writing down some of my own fantasies for wider publication.

I’d just prefer working with a creative person

Would it help if somebody helped you plot the story through to the end? Perhaps then you could write it yourself.

 

[TarnishedPenny]

WRT Story Ideas, I have on occasion found somebody there with an interesting idea and it worked. In my case, and I suspect many of not most writers will either require payment or else retain editorial control.

 

[crookedletter]

There's a forum for this - https://forum.literotica.com/forums/story-ideas.2/. Maybe try throwing your ideas in there and see if anyone wants to run with them? Not sure if that's really how it works there, but seems more apt than here.

Why not share the idea then?

 

[Handsomehim]

I will

Be a positive person!

Give it a go, and you might surprise yourself.

As for the expense, look at it this way. We all work for a living right? We're paid for our time and our expertise. When we're at work we have no control how we spend that time, we do what we are hired for.
After those work hours, any time that I spend on something that I don't choose to do, has to have a price tag on it. My free time is worth something as well as any expertise I bring to the job. So if my work time/expertise is worth $XX an hour, what is my free time worth? Logic would suggest that it would be worth more, wouldn't it?

I have pages of my own story ideas and I'll bet 95% of writers here have a similar document. So yes, I'd be writing anyway, but what I spend my time on matters.

As others have suggested, drop the idea on the Story Idea forum and see if there is someone that might be inspired and want to work with you on it. I'll have a look at it for certain.

Most established Lit writers are 'creative' or they wouldn't be here. The point is that most are already working on their own stuff and you're going to have to get their attention with something that interests them.

And we're all volunteers scribblers here, doing it because we find it interesting. It follows that few writers are likely to rise to a request unless it meshes with their own style or character. Somebody who is excellent at crafting lesbian erotica, for example, may have no interest in writing gay male stories. A good, solid writer of Romance may find a request for a fetish tale as off-putting. Just 'I want somebody to write me a story' is pretty unhelpful.

You're just going to have better luck if you put a little more on the table up front or dig into your purse with an offer to pay.

Again, good luck. I hope you find what you are looking for.

Curious, have you tried writing your ideas into stories yourself?

Even if you don't consider yourself a "good writer," at least making the effort would then give someone else an idea of what you're trying for.

OR, better yet, you discover you'd rather just write it yourself.

I think only one or two Literotica writers were given a drink of the blood of Kvassir by Othinn. The rest of us had to learn to write by writing.
