Looking for recommendations part deux

[LaRascasse]

Once more, I am in a writing rut. To get my muse out of her customary coma, I make this thread.

I will vote and leave a shiny public comment. In case I have something critical to say, I'll save that for private feedback (why dirty the public comments, eh?).

What am I looking for?

1. A story. Please. Don't give me stroke fests. I don't mind a good stroke, but the characters should have higher functions than walking boobs and penises.

2. I am category agnostic. Any of the categories would suit me fine. The only things that I am NOT looking for are excretory fetishes.

3. Long is fine. Too long isn't. I draw the line at 8 pages. Although, if a story is really that engaging, I can be persuaded to stay till double digits.

4. Conversely, short sharp stories are also welcome. For reference, I present this beauty.

5. Darker themes get higher preference. Tragedy gets the highest.

6. Good dialogue is a plus. Emotions are welcome too.

7. While I am not overly fastidious when it comes to grammar and punctuation, there should be some semblance of care taken in that regard.

8. Last, but most importantly, I'm looking for something unique. Something offbeat. Something that deviates from the pre-set of cliches laid down for every category.

There you have it. My list of requirements. I'll add more if needed.

Tragedy: The Mill http://www.literotica.com/s/the-mill (ending needs work. Maybe you can help.)

LOL... I expected something similar. To be honest, the ending felt a little forced though. I get you were trying to go for the ironic/shocking twist.

Overall I liked the story, as says my comment.

 

[Darkniciad]

This is an old one that needs another editing pass, but it runs along the lines you're talking about.

Already read and commented on this the last time I needed my fix.

Any more?

 

[Darkniciad]

Crap... I'll have to go back and look for the comment. Too many stories to keep up.

Hmmm... I'd say "Ebon Genesis", but that one does have some menstrual and golden shower stuff in it.

Really the only other dark ones I have are the two "Home by the Sea" takes, and those are hardly tragedy.

http://www.literotica.com/s/documentary-cougar maybe? Not really dark, but it does have a sad undertone and an ominous ending.

That's about it. I don't get the urge to write dark stuff that often any more.

 

[JKendallDane]

This is a single chapter in a very long series, but I think it might fit your request.

It is GM but very, very light on the sex.

FYI, just dark will also do. Tragic is a plus if possible.

I liked the cougar story

Well, here's my two takes on Home by the Sea, then.

Hmmm dialogue, emotions, dark some tragedy.

You could always read what I sent you awhile back.

I actually read around half of it before real life violated my free time in several unpleasant ways. Will try to get back on the saddle on that one.

I've got a tragedy in EH that might fit the bill, if you haven't already seen it (though "unique" is in the eye of the reader).

 

[Hypoxia]

Tragedy (and characters): THAT'S MY GIRL (5p).
Unique: BIG BANANA (1p) and A FALL OF STARDUST (3p).
Darker: RIGHT UNDER HIS EYES (2p).

No rush.

Thanks for reading. That was one of my earlier stories. I've learned a million things since then.

I don't know if AMoveableBeast would want you to comment here, but try
The Submissive Gene (this link is to Chapt 1).

I am slowly writing a review of it, it's enjoyably challenging writing the review! Really well written and I was already thinking of recommending it to you.

 

[sheablue]

I have two that are a little off the beaten path:

http://www.literotica.com/s/a-flower-in-the-darkness

http://www.literotica.com/s/the-tank-1


The first one is just the first chapter in a longer piece. With a second chapter hopefully coming in July.

 

[NaokoSmith]

Do read Shea's! Her writing is unique, haunting. It reminds me a little of the story you were writing about the world of the dead.

Two of my Halloween entries and this one is a little dark/tragic

http://www.literotica.com/s/dark-as-day

And a little one page SCI-Fi I did one bored afternoon. Dark some what grim Non/Con story.

Read with a glass of red wine. Trust me.

My favorite of yours is your FAWC 4.

Read all 4. You certainly weren't kidding when you said unique

Yeah, it's strong meat - don't read it with a glass of champagne!

Done. I liked both. The second one reminded me of a short horror story.

I begin tucking him into bed and he tells me, “Daddy check for monsters under my bed.” I look underneath for his amusement and see him, another him, under the bed, staring back at me quivering and whispering, “Daddy there’s somebody on my bed.”

Your writing is superbly nuanced. I'll try to read more of yours if I get the time.

 

[MSTarot]

Alright, Shivering then.

Warning label: this one should be in Non/Con but since it's brother/ sister they wouldn't like it there. The incest crowds hate it as well.

Strong story non the less.
