I have really enjoyed writing a little fucked-up hommage to J.R.R. Tolkien, in The Fockit, or, In and Out Again, beginning: "In a Hole in an Arse there lived a Fockit..."

Do others enjoy this sort of thing? I would love to read some X-rated C.S. Lewis, Orwell, Jane Austen, Dickens, T.S. Eliot, Sandra Boynton (yes!) Not necessarily fanfiction as such, but smut-writing inspired by some of these great writers. Any suggestions? Self-promotion welcomed.

Aww, you've put in a warning, just for me
Don't worry though, I definitely won't repeat the whole thing again. I even feel bad a bit for calling you out so bluntly as if you were the only one who is doing it. You are in good company on this forum, that much I can tell you. Anyway, I wish you plenty of fun in this thread and successful self-promotion.

I'll even engage a bit and say that while the homage is humorous, I wish it was somewhat subtler. It was too easy to guess the reference. It's not a jab, just an honest opinion. Maybe that is just my preference though.

Well, I wrote my own smutty homage to Tolkien, One Night in Mordor, about a hobbit-elf encounter. It was fun to write. https://literotica.com/s/one-night-in-mordor.

Is C.S. Lewis, or The Chronicles of Narnia, on Lit's forbidden list? I kind of figure they are, given that they're generally considered YA literature, and the principal characters spend most of the series as children. But there's that time reversal bit, where the main four are adults in Narnia before reverting to kids back in England, that might tantalize writers who like trying to squeeze through loopholes. You even see adult Edmund and Susan as supporting characters in the fifth book, if I remember correctly. One wonders what they might have experienced as grown-up kings and queens (and double entendre there, since most of mainland Narnia was peopled with fantasy creatures and talking animals). But that's probably a question with answers that wouldn't fly here.

I haven't seen it listed as such, but if it were me I'd definitely be PMing Laurel to check whether it'd fly before putting a lot of effort into writing it.

I doubt it would fly, on the principle that you can't up-age if the original characters were children.

I'm forever in your debt for pointing me towards this piece. I read the Narnia books repeatedly as a kid, and Susan would have been one of my first literary crushes. Later replaced, when I was sixteen, by Fuchsia in her red dress, from Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast novels.

Bamagan's point was that they're children for most of the story, but not all of it. I'm not sure how Laurel interprets the rules there.

I'm very fond of Ursula Vernon. Her take on Bluebeard is worth a read too: https://www.redwombatstudio.com/bluebeards-wife/

To be clear, my expectation is that it would be denied, as that's the simplest course for the site to take. There's maybe just barely enough wiggle room to do a tale of adult Pevensies in Narnia, but if it were to be allowed, I'd expect it to have more to do with the relative lack of obsessive fan fiction like Harry Potter generated. As I understand it, that's one of the IPs that is denied in totality, even of the entirely adult characters, and even though we see about as much of the HP kids grown up in the epilogue as we see of the CN kids grown up in the final chapter of LWW.

Other factor there is that Rowling is alive and has been known to call in the lawyers on people. CS Lewis is maybe less of a threat; I presume whoever has the rights these days would still be protecting them, but might be more likely to take the path of "don't give it publicity" rather than suing.

I still agree that it probably wouldn't fly, but it's not quite as clear, and unlike HP I haven't seen Narnia listed on the "don't go there" notices.

Now I look, there actually is one Narnia story on this site, but non-sexual: https://www.literotica.com/s/once-more-through-the-wardrobe-door
