Quality story recommendations without the 'ugh'

[theinternetisforporn]

Ugh.

I'm sick of reading stories where people are taken advantage of, or where the main description of a person is the length of his cock or her bra size.

I know that everyone is different, and I know that what I find sexy is not always going to match what other people find sexy. That's why we have categories. That's why I stay away from the non-consent section. That's why some people avoid the gay male section. But there's no category for what I want.

I want stories that are not disrespectful to people in general, and women in particular. I want stories about people with bodies that don't conform to photoshop-media rules. I want stories that don't involve sex as a reward or a punishment or 'deserved' or a right.

I'm hoping to put together a list of stories that:

• are well written
• do not involve power relationships being taken advantage of
• do not contain the phrase "curves in all the right places"
• involve mutually respectful sex
• do not focus on physical 'perfection' or measurements

Recommendations gratefully received. I will post a list of stories that 'pass' my requirements so that others who share my tastes can enjoy, too.

Thanks!

PepperPace writes stories that meet your criteria. Most of them are no longer to be found on Literotica, unfortunately, but a number of them may be purchased at Amazon/Kindle or Barnes and Noble.

From her Lit bio:

"Thanks for taking the time to read this. A little about my writing style--you will find that EVERYTHING I write is out of the norm. I am intrigued with unlikely characters. I find it boring to read about a drop dead gorgeous person in love with another drop dead gorgeous person, well unless one of them is missing a limb. Stories about perfect people are a bore and very formulaic. That's why I write outside of the 'box'. If that's what you like, too, then I think you will enjoy my brand of writing. If not...well I warned you beforehand."

Of the three still on Lit, I recommend A Seal Upon Your Heart, but you will have to buy all but the first chapter. I think it's worth the investment, as are a number of her other stories. She's a very talented writer.

Thank you, toubab. I've just started reading A Seal Upon Your Heart. PepperPace's blog looks great!

Anyone else with recommendations?

You're welcome. A short story of hers I like a lot is Someone To Love. I recommend it as well.

Another good way to find stories is to check out the profile pages of authors you already know you like. A lot of times they will list their favorites and that might lead you to some unexpectedly good places as well.

I've tried to find things that I can enjoy and link to some of them on my favorites page.

I can't guarantee that all of these recs below will fit your criteria, but I think they're a good start. I don't like cookie cutter stuff with zero description either, so maybe you can find some good rabbit holes to explore:

(Most of these people are Author's Hangout regulars, or were back in the day. I don't know how many of them still post, or how frequently.)

Abstruse is an AH matriarch of sorts, she and Nirvanadragones have also written together as: Fusionnée
I was completely moved by their story Queen of Pain.

Liar writes wonderful stories and poems, and he still posts here on the GB.

BlackShanglan doesn't post anymore but is a fabulous writer.

Tickledkitty also has a great story called Redivivus; her writing was always really high quality.
