I have written stories based on real life from the viewpoint of a submissive gay, what would be really interesting if the same story coudl be retold by the other participant(s). Unfortunately my boyfreind thinks its silly idea so is not interested. Anyone else any thoughts or know of examples where it may have been done before ?

This idea arrises every couple of months. One of the best examples of this in professional fiction is:

"The Collector" by John Fowles

A nerdy guy kidnaps and keeps a young woman captive, hoping she will eventually submit to him.
Then, the story covers the same action from a journal she had kept of her imprisonment.

I have two stories which recount the same events--the early stages of an extra-marital, interracial affair between co-workers.

"Nurse Made" is in third person using the woman's POV. It's in the Loving Wives category.

"Nurse Nailed" is in first person using the man's POV. It's in the Interracial Love category.

If you're interested in checking them out, just click on "Rumple's Refuse" down at the bottom of this page.

Thanks Rumple,
Proof that one plus one can add up to a lot more fun. Reading the Orderly story was much sexier knowing what the nurse had in mind and knowingwhat was going to happen didnt distract from the anticipation of the orderly's excitement.

You have done a superb job by writing both, and generally that was not obvious. I like the different language used.
Just occasionally I was reminded by the same descriptive phrase, eg the " mock despair" paragraph. But a very clever example.

I will have to invest sometime reading your other stories !

Still very much like to find where two real people describe a real encounter. So anyone who has written a story somewaht base on reality, how about persuading your partner(s) to contribute to literotica :)

I can't think of any really good examples of the same story from different perspectives -- Most of the amateur efforts online don't take advantages of the possibilities and fall into the trap of telling the same story from both viewpoints.

No two people perceive the world the same and so two viewpoints will tell a different story about the same events. Inorder to make a pair of stories aboutthe same events work, you have to take the different perceptions into account -- Especially their feelings and world-views.
 
Very well put W. H.

It is the totally differnet perspective that would add the spice. I tell my stories from my ( rather strange) perspective and try to get others to understand what it is about the particular circumstances / encounter that doe sit for me. I am a bi sub, boyfriend is gay Dom, it would be great to have his story to know what it is about domination that works for him. It would add a lot more depth to the story.
