When have you written a short erotic story that you thought was good, but decided it was not appropriate to be posted to lit? (I'm excluding things like breaking age rules etc)?

In my case it's only been because I wanted to monetise it.

I was inspired by one of the Lit writing challenges 'write a first kiss from the perspective of the other person' and produced a really touching story of about 5000 words before remembering it can't go on Lit because of the ages involved. I thought a out simply making the characters.5 years older but it didn't work.

Another story of mine ended.up so autobiographical that anyone who knew me would recognise it instantly. If I manage.to re-write it so it's convincingly someone.else, I might post it here as I don't think it would fit into an anthology to sell.

I’ve recently parked a shorter story that I was set to submit.

By ugly coincidence some of the content mirrored an event that hit the news (UK) recently.

Morally while it’s only a work of fiction I didn’t feel comfortable with the reflections of reality

Back in 2009, a short story about employment of dwarfs in medieval times for extreme sexual sport. I was experimenting with extreme fetishes at the time. The story was published in a collection, but when it came around to deciding whether to publish it to Literotica as a standalone, I said "nah," and moved on. It would not have breached any Literotica rules.

The story I’m working on now might take forever to get finished, because I’m nowhere near as prolific as some of the authors here (whom I therefore envy). I’m continuing to write it, because the theme and characters interest me (it’s around 20k words so far and likely to be novel-length), but I’m hoping for other, more compact ideas to show up. Those I could finish and post on Lit, when I need a breather from the big story. If I live long enough, the big story might eventually go the self-pub route. Lit readers in general appear not to stay with me when I write long.

Shit I hope it's not the very recent news which happened not 500 yards from where we live - and the previous day my wife and I watched "The Collector" with Terence Stamp - a very disturbing week altogether, specially for her.

Now that's a story I'd like to read, not enough of that sort of thing here for me

 

[TarnishedPenny]

Oh, yeah. Good story, IMHO, but nonPC, even for the loose standards here.

Live and learn.

Usually its monetizing it, occasionally something a little too dark. I stated out here with a long running dark depressing taboo series and what it taught me was there is little audience for that in taboo here

So when I write a train wreck style I/T story it just goes for sale because I know its not what most of that readership is here for..

There is another site that will probably take the first story you did. They do have standards but the age restriction is much looser than Lit, and thus it works well for coming-of-age stories. I'll send you a PM if you are curious about the site.

All the time. That's why I have a couple of other platforms with different rules, categories, and readerships in my utility belt.

I home everything wherever I feel the effort/reward equation balances.

"Inexcusable" is only on Lit, because it's the only place with the category it was written for. Doesn't categorize well anywhere else.

It's also doing poorly because it's in one of the least read categories, extremely short, off-brand, and contains cheating content, which is a landmine no matter where you post it on Lit. LOL I expected that coming out of the gate, but the reward of moving one step closer to my personal goal of writing in every category balances that equation.

In my case, was an adult who was sorting through her memories about being sexually molested by her father from age 8. It won't fly here and I've held it back.

Yeah, I think many authors here wish that subject wasn't off-limits here - I elliptically described a child abuse event in main antagonists character in my story The Hive, and got away with it.

It's frustrating for me, because I like to be honest in my stories, which are usually about "deviant" sex whose origins are usually a childhood experience.
