Political satire

[execuwriter]

Would a story in which a real life American politician is the main character be published?

Probably not.

Then I'll make it so it's obvious that it's AOC without actually using her name.

You'd still have to get it past Laurel, which by all accounts is harder to do nowadays.

 

[MelissaBaby]

Probably not.

So much for my three way with Beto and Kamala.

If Laurel can discern that you are dealing with a current politician in a partisan way, she'll reject it. This is an erotica story site. Take partisan politics elsewhere. If you want to write erotica about a current politician, have that politician in your mind, but write the character in a different name altogether. If you can't do this, it's because you want to shove your partisan politics down others throats, not because you want to write entertaining erotica.

OK, so me and Keto and Bamala are all in a hotel room at the convention...

There's no reason why that has to be partisan political. It could just be arousing fun.

Well, I was thinking that Bamala would give me a spanking when I tell her I am thinking about voting for Keto, I hope that doesn't cross the line.

You're taking video, right?

You will have already crossed another line--you will have asserted behavior to living persons that doesn't have support from their known behavior patterns and detracts from and could be damaging to their public persona. It wouldn't be libel, because they are public people (and only because of that), but I'd bet dollars to donuts that Laurel wouldn't accept a story of a steamy sexual threesome with Beto and Kamala even if all were having a great time. Now one between that hunky populous former Arizona congressman Brad and a gorgeous, smart, and witty Jamaican-Indian-American Oregon senator Lena could probably fly if they weren't identified any closer than that to real people.

Political satire is almost irrelevant in a world where reality mocks itself. Cf the fall of The Onion. Partisan activists need merely quote the opposition absurdity. Politicians can still be mocked for fun but why bother? Unless they fuck goats.

You wouldn't be the first person to try to slip something past the moderator.

But you just might be the first one to announce that plan in advance, on a forum that the moderator reads.

I'm not known for being clever.

ALLLL THIS.


Carnal_Flower proposed a potential writing event for politically influenced erotica. I thought it sounded really interesting. I hope it flies with Laurel.

Have you lot looked at the world's pollies recently? There's about as much erotic pizzazz amongst them as week-old mayonnaise on a Hawaiian shirt. Even Vlad the Lad has given up on his horse. You guys need help, if that's what gets you up in the morning, seriously .

You literally made me LOL. Yes that’s completely what gets my jollies, EB. The politics, not the mayonnaise And specifically, global economic politics.

My stories would bore you. They are partly about sex and romance among family members, but largely about current economic-political strategy: derivatives, net-zero debt instruments, underwriting mergers, yield, human trafficking, cryptos, family office management, etc. All I need is the Hawaiian shirt hahaha.

Lawyers and accountants, you're all the same - strange, strange people. You get turned on by legal instruments and economic babble? That's just... odd, very, very odd.

I'm guessing you've got a well-thumbed copy of Adam Smith in your bedside table, not Fanny Hill .

You are so right! And even odder are we finance people haha! I’ve read Fanny Hill, but Moll Flanders was on my bedside as an impressionable youth (i.e., how to build legacy fortunes from nothing while getting some snizz on the side). But still, I think stealing warships and pirating SpaceX launch sites is very sexy! Swoons lol.

One of these things is not like the others.

sadly it is. One example of the many (many!!) traffickers use is to bundle securities with cryptos into shell corporations as debt and then sell the debt. One such bogus credit default for more than $1B came up with a major bank a few weeks ago. One of my characters comes from a family of traffickers, and is based on my law school mentor, whose family were traffickers.

I might be showing my age, but years ago Nancy Pelosi was pretty hot. I had a story idea in which she takes a younger lover, and how they kept it under wraps.
I don't think I could get that past Laurel.

 

[CuteSlaveLisa]

So we just need a story about two five foot eleven Sweedish blonde sisters involved with each other sexually who are smitten by and decide to share a divorced, balding, middle aged stock broker. Dialog could include...

"Morty, tell me again about diversifying my portfolio, and zero cap bonds, ohhhh."

"When you talk about dividend producing equities I get so wet."

"Ah, ah, ahhhhhh. Say 'tax-free muni' again Mmm-man."

Once again, you write a story about a woman in a similar position doing whatever you want her to do, you don't use a name similar to Nancy Pelosi, and as you write you have Nancy Pelosi in your mind. You get to write what you want and you don't do something to another actual human being that you wouldn't want done to you or someone you care for. It's not rocket science.
