Snow White: Which Category?

[Omenainen]

It's not an apple. It's a sex toy.

I’m relatively sure you’re not supposed to peel sex toys.

So is it Toys & Masturbation after all?

 

[SimonDoom]

I just submitted it. I opted for Exhibitionism and Voyeur. I've had pretty good luck with that category and I figured it would do better there than in Sci Fi/Fantasy.

I was going to ask your spelling of 'dwarf' plural, but from your earlier message I think I have the answer:

For one thing, dwarves aren't disabled, and I don't portray them as disabled, at all.

Two items:

You are likely aware that J R R Tolkien held that the only correct plural of 'dwarf' is 'dwarfs' (he later regretted using 'dwarves' in the Ring trilogy, but at least came up with a rationale for it in his stories, however lame.)

While 'dwarfs' aren't technically disabled, they do come under the auspices of the ADA. If your story is set in the US, there may be some issues in accommodation.

Is why I carefully wrote visibly disabled and added a link to a 2017 study, Liverpool Hope University.
Dwarfism is a visible disability with strong connections to various forms of entertainment, including folklore and lowbrow entertainment.
It's an interesting read and they use dwarfs, not dwarves.

Interesting wrinkle: the Site initially has rejected my story on the ground that I have violated the rule against "aging up" underage characters in the source material. I think this is bogus. First, the Site has allowed the publication of over 60 stories based on the Snow White fairy tale. How is mine different? It's not. Second, neither the Brothers Grimm source material fairy tale nor the Disney animated movie make clear Snow White's age during the bulk of the story, so there's no basis for assuming she's underage. I have sent an email to Laurel and Manu making this point. This seems, to me, like a completely ridiculous basis for rejection. We're not talking about a recent movie, like the Harry Potter series. We're talking about a fairy tale from the 19th century. I make clear in my story that the character is over 18. It's a nutty application of the "aging up" rule, if they stick with it.

It's probably just a mistake! Hope it gets sorted quickly.

 

[DouglasFinney]

I'm trying to decide in which category to publish it.

I think it comes down to four choices: Celebrity & Fan Fiction, Sci Fi and Fantasy, Exhibitionism and Voyeur, and Group Sex.

Masturbation wasn’t a choice? I guess that means there’s no dwarf tossing in your story.

 

[stickygirl]

Outrageous. If she had been catatonic from, lets say the age of 14, for a period of twenty one years - the age a wicked woman goes from bitch to witch, then clearly she would be 35 years, albeit a rather naive, tedious and precocious twat, which is born out by the Disnut movie.
I think it speaks volumes of Laurel that she is projecting her own interpretation of Snow White's age based on the Disnut interpretation rather than the numerous historical themes that permeate folklore.
Perhaps you could switch Snow White for Mary Poppins and we can project Emily Blunt into your story?
I hope this helps

 

[SimonDoom]

Good news: Laurel responded right away to my message, and the story has been approved for publication.

So, message to my friends here: If weird shit happens, don't just complain or take it lying down. Respond. This has happened to me twice, and both times, when I've responded, the Site has responded positively, and it's allowed the publication of my story.

Keep in mind: it's 2 people monitoring about 100 new stories every day. I can't even imagine how they do that.

I've written a sexed-up version of the fairy tale Snow White. I'm trying to decide in which category to publish it.

I think it comes down to four choices: Celebrity & Fan Fiction, Sci Fi and Fantasy, Exhibitionism and Voyeur, and Group Sex.

There are 68 published Literotica stories with "Snow White" in the title, although a few of them have the words "snow" and "white" used in another way. The categories for those 68 stories are all over the map. My first thought was that it would obviously be Sci Fi & Fantasy, but I wonder. The story has strong elements of exhibitionism, and I've had a pretty good experience with that category so I'm thinking about publishing it there. My experience with Exhibitionism is much better than with Sci Fi/Fantasy or Celebrities/Fanfiction or Group Sex. There is some activity that one might describe as "group sex" but I don't think it's really what the connoisseurs of that category are looking for. My impression is that the readership for Celebrities/FanFiction at Literotica is small. So I'm mostly thinking about either E&V or Sci Fi/Fantasy.

My goal is to maximize the number of readers who enjoy the story. I'm less concerned about the score it gets.

Thoughts?

Would not Walt Disney come after you with fangs blazing????

 

[SimonDoom]

No. Walt Disney doesn't own the rights to the Snow White fairy tale. It existed long, long before Disney made a movie of it. The Brothers Grimm wrote the fairy tale over 150 years ago and any copyright has long since expired.

I laughed out loud at your original post, and admire your prompt gustonic action to get it fixed.

There's another tale here: "SimonDoom versus the WordBots", Coming Soon to a multiplex near you.

Now I'll have to go read the thing!

The squeaky wheel, as they say, gets the grease. You just have to squeak in the right way.

I hope you do read it. I know what you will say (or think, if you don't say it): "Amusing, but you're seriously fucked up, Simon!" 'Tis true.

 

[SimonDoom]

Thanks. That's nice of you to say, and I hope you get around to reading my silly story. It's not the most serious story but it was a lot of fun to write.

"Aww, Simon," said Suzie, "you are such the cutest little mouse. Or hamster. Some silly rodent, I can never tell the difference."

"If there's a toilet roll tube, it's a gerbil," said EB, trying to be helpful.

The worst thing about this morning's fly through of the AH, what with your dwarves and Chloe's masterful clanger (Micket Spillane) is that in two minutes I have half a plot for another Mickey Spillane yarn, The Case of the Mistaken Identity. Which will involve art fraud, which is great because my Dan character knows fuck all about art, but knows what he likes; and Ruby will have a sister who studies Fine Art. Educational Literotica. Who knew?

Problem is, deadlines. I don't like a deadline.

"'Snow White plays dead. The boys are waiting in line.' There you go, Simon," said Suzie, "I've written the promo for your latest story."

"Art fraud" makes me think of a really fun movie that I recommend: Headhunters. It's the all-time top grossing movie from Norway. The villain is played by the actor who played Jaime Lannister in Game of Thrones. A very entertaining movie. Scandinavia meets Hitchcock. Highly recommended if you haven't seen it.

My story has been published. I ended up publishing it in E&V. We'll see how that goes.

Taking a bit of heat there, Simon. Snow White a little too naive? I wonder if you'll cop a pile on in your comments.

The credibility factor went out the door for me with the queen's half a cup of come, early on. I know it's a fairy tale, but half a cup?

I didn't say how big the cup was! One can leave that to one's imagination.

Credibility was not that big a factor for me in writing this story, from the first line to the last. I mean, it starts off with a magic mirror. I can understand how it might be too much for some readers.

There are only five comments so far, mostly positive. Interestingly, the thing that has drawn the most criticism is the anachronistic use of language. Some people object to the use of the term G-spot or vagina in a fairy tale. But that was deliberate. After all, it's not set in a world that ever really existed, much like the world of The Princess Bride or Monty Python's Arthurian England.

I realize the story isn't going to work for everyone, but I had fun writing it this way. In its first 30 hours it's had 3500+ views, 16 favorites, and a score of 4.5, so it's doing OK despite its goofiness.

Wait, what? You're saying coconut hooves don't exist?

[SimonDoom]

That was a truly inspired concept. They didn't have money for real horses so they used coconuts. I'm sure as they did it they were wondering what the hell they were doing, but it worked perfectly.

So, yes, think of the cup and cum that way.

I would not recommend checking it out unless you have a high tolerance for sheer, unadulterated ridiculousness. That's the way I sometimes like it.

Fuck me, there's seven pages.... one for each day of the week I guess. I was never quite certain if fairy tale women have periods but now I know for certain they don't, which sounds lovely. Can't wait till Monday's instalment but life beckons.
If I get through this you have to read one of mine - that's how it works matey
