New Author Here

[AR_erotica]

Hey guys. I'm new here. I've submitted two stories now. One published and another pending. I wondered if you veterans would care to view them and offer up your suggestions. My inspiration is things that I'd never get to do. I'm married to a lovely woman but she's a tad conservative in the sexual realm. Add this to the fact that we are each other's only experience and you have a recipe for some pretty far out stories I also wondered what I can do to gain more exposure to the site and be more involved in the community. I welcome all comments and critiques.

Regards,

AR_Erotica

Pay no attention to the man above me...he is the wizard of id which means he has no stories posted here and only haunts the AH to pester the liberals.

Welcome to the AH.

One way to get some feed back from Authors here is to post in the Story Feedback forum. I would include a link to your story as most Authors are too lazy to go looking. You might want to place a link to your stories page in your profile in you signature.

A welcome for the little newbie from the good little witch.

Welcome to the AH.

Ditto what Zeb said.

I am almost new here....wrote Part one 4 years ago.

Ok I have problem - someone said only one?

I posted part 2 of a story - I spell checked and ran a grammar check too.

Now the problem.

Someone point out some errors in the story that SHOULD NOT be there after the grammar check. I use an old Word Processor to do the check... today I used MS WORD which found a hand full of problems which I corrected. Now I would like to post the new edited story.

I would like to replace the approved one with the new one.... how can I do that? I sees no way to edit the story after it was approved. What should I do?

Hi, AR, and welcome to Literotica and the AH. If you want to be involved in the community, you are on the right track, posting here.

ETA: The way to get your stories read, at least here, is by posting a link to them in your signature line. I hope you already know how to do that, because it's hard to explain without actually showing you, and I can't do that without going to your CP, and that would be sort of an invasion of your privacy. .

As I recall, you make a new submission, paste in the edited story, and use your original title of the story plus the word "EDIT" in the "title" field. In the "notes" field, you explain that this is an edit of the original story, correcting grammar. It will take the normal amount of time for the edited version to replace the original version - 7 days or whatever.

secondly - ignore that wanker. he's a small-minded shithead who can't imagine a world beyond his own country's borders.

as for exposure: submitting stories to the contests is a good way of getting your stuff seen and will attract feedback. beware though, as you've already experienced from knobhead JBJ, some of the comments will just be designed to belittle you - ignore the obvious troll comments. don't be put off by the feeling that it's all about winning the contest, it isn't. i don't have a hope of winning, but the feeback that results is invaluable.

oh, and as box mentioned, post a link in yur sig line to your stories.

enjoy the experience.

Resubmit he story as a new store. Make sure the title and the little blurb is the same. Then at the end of the title add a space then type EDITED. Also place a the word EDITED in the notes section of the form. It will replace the existing story within a few days and you won't lose any votes or comments.

I also suggest that you not rely on computer grammar check programs (or spellcheck all that much either). Run the spellcheck to pick up obvious errors, but neither program can capture the subtlety of English usage, and the grammar check is not very good for creative fiction. A dictionary (and using it) is needed on top of spellcheck ,and there's no fully reliable substitue for having a good grasp of grammar yourself. The computer's not going to properly catch and solve all of the problems.

The pilot is right about grammar. I am lucky that I got a solid grounding in grammar, punctuation and sentence structure in elementary school almost sixty years ago, and it has stayed with me since. I use Grammarcheck, although when it points out errors, it is wrong or the error is deliberate about 98% of the time. Sometimes I change the wording of a sentence and leave something that does not belong there, and it sometimes catches that.

Spellcheck is only good for some typos or gross spelling errors. If you confuse there and their or its and it's or similar errors, it won't usually catch them because what you end up with are words, even though they are not the words you wanted. The only thing to do is give it a good eyeballing or have an editor do it for you, possibly on an exchange basis.

Dear Reader,

GERONIMO APPLEBY is what we call a Special Olympics Stud; that is, he traded his balls for a sheepskin proclamation from Special Olympics attesting to his swagger and virility. You'll observe that he never poses his front.

He was once semi-famous as UK's 'Wayne Newton'.

Aw, come JB, give the bloke a break.
PS. Who is the UK's Wayne newton ?

i was hoping for something more challenging from you. this is just a schoolboy level effort at retort. you really must do better if you're going to cross swords with me. better luck next time, sweetheart.
