retrospective

[NoJo]

As I approach my 500th post after almost a year here, I feel it's time to reflect on how far along life's highway some of us have come.

Remember the thrill when, after 25 (HAH!) posts, we lost our virginity? All those hours fretting over what LOL meant? And AV?

Literotica keeps a full history of every post by every user. Here's my first post ever:

Unless this is a punchline of a very strange joke:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: query() in /home/literot/literoticanet/literotica/newclasses/classMember.php on line 137


I'd guess that it's funny-not-so-funny.
I get it on page http://members.literotica.com/members/login.php


Can you detect the latent wit? The love of light-hearted word-play that would emerge in the later posts? Neither can I.

Here's a couple more first posts from some really seasoned pros, all with over 1,000 posts. Can you guess whose they are?

------------------------------------------------------


I don't like whips and that sort of business at all myself. Had a guy try it on me once, it ended very badly. Hayuhtun. I loved the story. The writing did it for me, it was very good. Definately hope there will be more

Hello World! Gosh, I sure am Shy. This is my *blush* First time. Don't tell anyone. I just wanted to drop a line, see if anything bites. Thanks for wasting 5 seconds on me

Please forgive me if i mess up as this is my first posting.

A lateral suggestion -
Perhaps you could employ the feelings that these words evoke in you to your advantage. If distaste is foremost in writing the word 'bloke', make good use of it. Turn it around and 'invent' yourself a character who fits the mould in your mind of a 'bloke'. Store the character away for a future story.

If writing or thinking stirs an emotion, then no matter what the emotion, shouldn't it be usable?

Dear SubJoe,
That one was me, right?

Yeah, I remember way back when, too... when I only had 110 posts... seems like only last week... Call me nostaligic, call me a polyanna, but I just think it was a simpler, gentler time back then.

Sorry. I'll do anything to get to 130 posts, I guess...

Is that "pollyanna"? Or does it mean, literally, "many annas"?

Gosh, Sarah, I'd never have guessed.

Sarcasm is lost on people who are inebriated, you know. (ka-ching! - 131)

 

[NoJo]

First was Killermuffin, sounding almost cute way back in 2000, second was Chicklet (MG, no that wasn't your first post -- maybe you posted something like that in your 723rd post -- I've heard that sort of thing happens, sort of like a mid-life crisis), last was WSO, hitting the ground running.

Killermiffin's second post, one minute later, reads
OMG did that say I'm a virgin?!?!

Hard to imagine...

Was what too transparent?


Alcohol, I find, gets the creative juices flowing (so it's as well to carry a change of underwear). I drink (I mean drink) once a week, after work. Last night was my drinking night.

Alcohol also loosen my tongue, so I occasionally find my tongue turning up in all kinds of strange places in the morning.

 

[openthighs_sarah]

Was what too transparent?

Um, I think it was... not sure, exactly, quite... something about trying to get to 130 posts. It seemed startlingly clever last night, though. Now it's just sitting there like a dullard.

I apologize for crashing your thread like that. I'm on good behavior from now on.

hard to believe i jumped right in like that. it was something i felt strongly about.

obviously it's stood the test of time, because over a year later i still agree with what i said.

i wonder what that says about me...

thanks for the reality check SubJoe, even if not intended, it is much appreciated.

Joe: How did you get to see the first posts of those people? I'm curious to see what the first thing I wrote was.

[NoJo]

See the four buttons beneath each post in the thread saying "Profile" "PM" "Search "Buddy"? well, click "search" and you get a list of every post that person has posted, sort in reverse date. At the top right of that list you'll see

Pages (40): [1] 2 3 » ... Last »

Click Last >> to go to the last (earliest) page, and you'll see the persons first ever post at the bottom of the page.

If you want any help, then I'm available, but usually if you bring another cook in, they tend to dilute the broth and move away from your original vision.

My very first post. Being a cocky bastard and offering to write a story for someone. Scary thoughts.

So what's new?

My, my. How people do change.

MG,
In your new AV, it looks strangely as if you're giving the camera the finger, but with your foot. Your talents really are mesmerizing.

 

[pop_54]

Hmm

Can't remember exactly word for word, but I think my Earth shattering first post went along the lines of: "Hello I'm new here"

Dear Sarah,
Actually, I was practicing hitting [CNTRL][ALT] [DEL] with my toes.

Nostalgia

My very first post on Lit read:

Two men one woman
One of the sexiest stories I've ever read was about a woman working in a diner, who gets picked up by two men who are passing by her town. One of them is black, the other latino. They are lovers, and bi.
As the story goes on, the two men and the woman have a threesome.
The language is very sexy, without getting vulgar, and my favorite scene is when one of the men puts a condom on the other man by using his mouth!
It gets me shivering just thinking about it... More of that!!!

What a bold first post! Jumping right into the heat, I was! No shy virgin here.
