Reluctance

[impressive]

Working on a story for the NonConsent/Reluctance category (which is a first, for me). Not rape. I don't think I have it in me to write rape. So, it'll be "reluctance" -- at least until the moment of surrender.

I just scrapped over 2,000 words with M/F characters and started over. The M/F approach is just so damned formulaic that I couldn't get past a you-know-you-want-it feel.

Okay, time to rethink the characters.

F/M is (sorry guys) just too damned easy -- even if the M is the frickin' Pope. There's just not enough "reluctance" to make the story have any tension whatsoever.

So, that leaves M/M and F/F. Not being a M, I started over with F/F and am breezing along. It's got me squirming in my chair.

However, I'm concerned that the category fans will slam it for not being hetero. (It's for the Survivor contest -- so I'm sticking to the category.)

Has anyone here written F/F or M/M in this category? If so, how was it received?

TIA,

~ Imp

Imp - I've only wrtten one story for this category and that was a hetrosexual one so I can't really say.

I reckon it should go down ok though. As long as it's written well (which i am sure it will be!) it should be recieved well.

You could put an author's note in the beginning to let them know from the get go that it's F/F.

Tee hee! Very punny, EL.

I love to pun!

Will do!

Unrelated tangent: I wish more people would do this at the beginnings of their stories.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled Impressive. Please form an orderly line and have your credit cards ready.

I would politely disagree. Of course it is not realistic to believe that a M would be reluctant to just have sex with a good looking F. However, what if the M is taking a big risk with his marriage/girlfriend/job? Then you can have tension regarding the risk. Also, you can develop the reasons why the F is anxious to force the M to have sex.

What I am saying is that perhaps you gave up a bit to easily on the idea of a F/M reluctance story.

JMHO.

Re. F/M: Mucho plot bunnies if you use 'reverse' sexual harrassment (not that I would ever ).

Well, my only output to the category was basically a big "Fuck You" to the readers where the rape was rape (unglamorous and evil). The main relationship and described sex was F/F though and none of the comments singled that out as why they hated it so I'd assume it'd be okay.

Excuse me!

NC/Reluctance isn't just about 'you know you want it'.

As to tension, you just haven't done it right

You can make it as complex or as simple or formulaic as you want. Perhaps they are best friends, and she blackmails him to have sex with her because she's worried about being a lesbian, but he [religious reasons] wants to remain a virgin until marriage. What could she blackmail him with? How does it impact on him that he likes it even though it is against all his beliefs? Does she find out she does prefer sheila's?

But really, in the non-consent category you will get trolled simply for that category. I doubt f/f would upset readers if you have an author's note, but if you are still worred, perhaps try m/f/f.

You're right, of course. I didn't mean to totally dismiss the idea.

to the guys. No hard feelings? (Wait! I like hard feedlings. )

I'd like to see more 'homosexual' Nonconsent/Reluctance stories, so I say go for it.

"Damn the torpedoes; full speed ahead!"

 

[Op_Cit]

OK, feel compelled to be a counter ballance:

Don't listen to the whisperers saying go back to M/F! F/F is good.

Personal preference, and by the way, I think reluctance is what makes them hot. Probably half the F/F is reluctance; and as a warning, if you're going for the multicategory competition, they may change your classification back to FF because that element is so common to FF.

I just gotta say I love that name....*L*

Personally, I'd put it in Gay/Lesbian. I think you run the risk of upsetting more people if they find out its homosexual than if they find out it's nonconsent.

BTW, I agree wholeheartedly with Wishful. There's an element of reluctance in every seduction, and seduction is at the heart of every erotic story, even if it's the reader who's being seduced into reading. Without reluctance there's no drama, and so every good erotic story is a reluctance story in my opinion, except for the loving couple/perfect sex stories, which I find boring.

I see a non sequitur here. True: There's an element of reluctance in every seduction. But: ...seduction is at the heart of every erotic story.... -- I'm not sure that follows (even with your qualification re the reader).

And there certainly can be drama without reluctance -- lovers battling circumstance in order to be together; miscommunication; death; illness/injury; etc.

I agree that the "loving couple/perfect sex" stories are boring ... but that's a YMMV thing.

Thanks for your input!

Anyone have time to take a peek at about 1,900 words of build up for a F/F reluctance story? I need to know if the characters are believable and the tension sufficient to proceed to the "nitty gritty."

TIA,

You're a sweetheart, EL.

I was despairing of getting any takers here, so I posted it over in the Story Feedback forum. You can pick it up here:

I (sweetnpetite) always do this.

But I'm gonna stop. I don't wanna warn people anymore that they might be offended. They will just haveta take the chance.
