New Formulas

Gee... how entitled and privileged, str8, white, male of you to think that way.

Oh, yes I grew up quite entitled in the poorest part of Providence and also felt like king of the world when I was sent from foster home to foster home.

And you're bitterness proves my point.

Everything in your life is the fault of someone else or because of your sexual preference which, again to prove my point, you use as an excuse for all your failures.

can't be that you're a loser or don;t want to push for anything, its because some one is "keeping you down"

Enjoy wallowing in your own self pity.
 
The technical literary terms for this are: dilemma, tension, resolution. ;)

I dip into the GB a good bit so forget I don't have to dumb down here. :)

Sort of surprised you never heard that saying though.
 
And back to the question that was asked... (not touching racial politics, even though I have many opinions)

I am trying to write longer stories, so I'm trying to avoid the formula I've been using:

1. single guy/girl is minding his/her own business
2. hot person walks in
3. they fuck

So far people like it, and of course I like it, but it would be nice to try something with character development and a plot. I don't want to be known as someone who only writes strokers! :eek:
A formula I've used before is;

1)Protag is minding their own biz, etc
2)Hot person walks in.
2a)!Problem! they are a gender/age/look/have preference for something that protag has never considered.
2b)!Dilemma! does Protag fuck the hot person even though ?
2c) !Resolution! the decision yes, via seduction or reasons or introspection or sex pollen.
3)they fuck -- for better or worse (I always write better, personally)
4) in the aftermath, protag realises they have changed in some way.

Are tentacles involved?
 
LOL Nothing wrong with writing strokers. :) But I want to know they why and the how between your steps. What makes the hot person notice the quiet one (who may also be hot)? Who makes the first move? Does either one resist?

I came across a couple of stories in which a nerdy or quiet character, sometimes two, had to overcome their shyness and lack of belief that they were sexy to get involved. I enjoyed those very much for breaking the formula:

One hot person meets another even more incredibly hot person.
They have phenomenally hot sex.

Squids have a strange underworld life on here, popping up every so often in the threads! :D
 
Brings a whole new meaning to: OctoMom...

There's a new formula for me-- I have never before considered writing anything with pregnancy of any sort in it. But evidently, spawning squid is okay. :confused:

Where can we find your stories?
Well yerah, that's the problem-- Teensy pieces in my files, mostly. :eek: My same old bug-a-boo, figuring out a plot that makes the novel have to be written.

the Despina Jones tag at stellaomega.com has all of two! more-or-less complete scenes.

It's not that I am not writing, it's that I've lost my voice. Everything seems to come out very pedestrian and flat and bloggish.
 
Had calamari for dinner a couple of nights ago.

You were the squid originator, when you recommended your pirate stories to me and we speculated on what a pirate might use for safe sex! That squid was a dancer, and went on to a wild career in my stories. :D

Maybe you could use the challenge of writing against formula? It would be like a crossword puzzle, you would feel intellectually engaged even if not emotionally engaged and could get the story out.
:heart:

Wanna brainstorm with me? :eek:
 
I thought about it and decided to serialize within a few categories, to wit: NIGGA HEAVEN is a series about interracial liaisons, MAMA'S BOYZ is for incest, OLD SOUTH TRAILER COURT is for glow in the dark toxic tales of webcam whores, and SUGAR & SPICE GIRLZ is a series about mature widows who encrust gated communities.
 
OK, so this is you, JBJ. You were left alone for more than a day to have a running conversation with NaokoSmith on this thread, but as soon as others went into a running conversion, you did the nasty. Don’t wonder why more won’t engage in substantive conversations with you.

It's SB. She is always a "victim". How typical! She wants to blame everything on "white, male" privilege. She even assumed that I was a straight guy at one point. Funny as hell for a bi guy, I assure you.

White, male privilege don't mean jack shit when you're a cracker from the Appalachians, Bubba. Show me a guy who can't afford meat most days of the week until he turns thirteen and then tell him that he's privileged. Well, I was that kid. I had a year of my life when I didn't regularly eat meat from twelve to thirteen, because I was too damn poor!

Despite which, it was not such a bad year. I have a lot of good memories of tasty meals of beans and cornbread (though I did miss the meat and fruit). Yeah, I was so fucking privileged.....but only in the sense of having a great (not perfect) but great, family. Including parents who still, despite their fundamentalist delusions, are great folks.

Being white and male didn't have a damn thing to do with it. I can guarantee you that at that level, black and white live on much the same diet and standard of living. Male and female, too.

Hey, there's a great new formula....redneck meets rural black girl, hits it off, etc. A nice rebuff to those who think that everyone from that side of the tracks is a racist prick.

Maybe not Octo. Some zoologists say a squid has 10 tentacles, others say 8 arms plus two tentacles.

More interestingly a squid has three hearts. It could serve as a non- formulaic plot for an erotic horror story if say, three lit people; I nominate sr71plt, lovecraft68 and Safe Bet/Amy had their hearts miraculously transported into a squid.

The Amy heart could decide whether their squid should be the deep sea variety well known for having/being the biggest pricks(relatively) in the animal world, or whether their new home should be the shallow water squid which has a vestigal penis and never has sex, but transfers a spermatophore, literally at arms length with a specially adapted tentacle. Your preference madam?

But maybe that would be too much 'horror' and not enough 'erotic' for readers.:)
