Never mind

[Areala-chan]

Never mind.

 

[WCSGarland]

I might be a bit overly ambitious here, but to be honest, if I eventually have a legacy here, I would prefer it would be for everything that I've published and everything that I will publish on Literotica until the last item.

 

[MK_Whimsy]

That's an interesting question. I never had any aspirations to be remembered in any way or have any kind of legacy. My intent was to stop by just long enough to throw out a handful of stories, and that would probably be it for me.

If I had to pick anything to be remembered for though, I suppose it would be for my exploration of unusual or niche fantasies. So of the stories I've posted so far, a couple that I like in particular are Bound Futility, which depicts a straitjacket bondage scenario, and Rectification, a male/male foot fetish story with an anthropomorphic bird character. Neither story is perfect, but they hit pretty squarely on the kinds of things I wanted to explore when posting here.

Once you're no longer with us here, whether it's because you've stopped coming around by choice or by circumstances beyond your control, what story or series of yours would you want to be remembered for as your legacy with the site?

...

But to know you, to know your writing, what's the one you'd be happy knowing you'd be remembered for when the time comes, and why?

I look forward to your answers.

That's a good question, which relates to another thread in the AH:

My shitty writings might actually nudge the AIs in their ingesting of the Internet's total content, in a direction ... which I might have preferred for the ultimate end of the Universe!

When I shuffle off this mortal coil if a few people on Lit somehow find out and think, "that's too bad, I enjoyed her stories" I'd be satisfied.

I write stories because I enjoy it, and I hope they provide some happiness to the people who read them. Nothing more than that.

 

[StillStunned]

If I should die, think only this of me: You Know You Shouldn’t.

More seriously, if people in the AH remember me for the Writing Exercises and WIWAWs, that will be good enough. Beyond the AH? I don't really care much.

I feel the same way, so echo your sentiment here

I hope my legacy will be vast array of quality smut where women are portrayed as real people in an interesting way, inspired by my event, written by both me and other people.

 

[pink_silk_glove]

My legacy is not for me, it is for and defined by whoever is around to define it, so I don't care.

 

[Bazzle]

My legacy will be relief from many that I've stopped publishing.

I'm not really looking for a legacy, TBH.

When I was small, my mother told me stories at night, which she invented herself. I've forgotten almost everything of those stories now; all I have left is a little bit of the main character, and a tiny piece of the plot of one of those stories. But I remember she spent hours telling me those stories, as one of the ways she expressed her love. One day I'll be gone and those stories will be completely lost, and it doesn't really matter; it doesn't undo the love that went into telling them. Some other parent will be making up stories for their kids.

Before I came here, I posted hundreds of thousands of words on other sites. Most of them are lost too, as far as I know; they might be lurking on some hard drive somewhere, but the chances of them being dug up and re-read by any human eyes are pretty slim. I don't mind; it's enough that I told them and people enjoyed them. Most things are transient and that's just how it is.

But if somebody reads my stories and gets ideas on ways to be kinder to themselves and to others in their lives, and if they remember those ideas long after they've forgotten where they got them from, and pass them on to others, that's a legacy I'd be happy to have.

Would it be to crass to say I hope my legacy is a pile of used tissues, dead batteries and many a pruned finger?

While I do strive to write engaging stories with well developed characters that are technically sound at the end of the day they are a vehicle to people getting their rocks off.

If people are talking about my work after I am gone I really would prefer it be about how it got them hot and bothered as they paint the scene I described in their mind and not how well I structure clauses and my correct use of oxford commas.

 

[AG31]

remember me for the Writing Exercises

Will do if I survive you. (Unlikely).

But in the meantime, did you happen to see this post of mine?

but I keep thinking about this idea, that a physically unattractive person can be the central character in an erotic story.

I'd read the submissions in any category if there were such a challenge here, just because it would stretch people's skills.

 

[AG31]

It so happens that I already did this. Here's the link.

But for a nutshell version, I'd like to be remembered as someone who fostered interesting conversations.

 

[OnlyHappyEndings]

I'd like to self-publish a paperback of stories so that years from now a half dozen or so readers can run across it in forgotten boxes of sex toys and dirty magazines and think 'Yeah, I remember that. It was a good year for written porn.' Might sound like joking but I'm serious.

 

[AwkwardMD]

The last few I wrote were pretty great, but the next one is gonna be the one.

 

[SimonDoom]

I can't think of one story I've written that makes me think, "That's the one I want as my legacy." I still strive to write that story. In the meantime, I hope I've given readers a little fun and that some of them come away from reading my stories bolstered in the belief that erotica can be kinky, edgy, naughty, arousing, sometimes amusing, and life-affirming at the same time.

 

[MelissaBaby]

I'd like people to think of me, or read one of my stories, and know that writing from your heart can be healing, to yourself, and to others.

 

[AchtungNight]

All the posts I’ve liked in this thread have said my feelings better than I could.

 

[Voboy]

My legacy is not for me, it is for and defined by whoever is around to define it, so I don't care.

This.

I'll be dead. Nobody will care what I think. Hopefully, my stories will keep on making people cum.

If ever anyone orgasms and thinks, "Wow! That Voboy sure could write!" that'll be legacy enough for me, and I don't care which story they're reading when it happens.

 

[LittleTitLover]

I'd like people to remember me as a nice guy who wrote a few hot stories.

Don't underestimate how sexy an Oxford comma can be...

Don't underestimate how sexy an Oxford comma can be...

The button-down collars, especially!

 

[Naughtylit81]

Don't underestimate how sexy an Oxford comma can be...

Oxford, Cambridge, and Hull, of which only two are great commas.

That's right, Oxford is a complete dump.

Never mind.

Surely this wasn't always called "Never Mind???" You must have changed it. How come? A great thread.
