So called snuff story

[Foxee Browne]

Well, I am a little ticked off, TE999 & I wrote a little tale called Death Becomes Them. We set up an alter ego for it, since it was a combined effort, both of us should get the credit. Lit said it's snuff, and rejected it. We did a few re-writes and got the same result. So I got mad and submitted under my name. Submission approved. So what is the difference? The exact same story was submitted.

I think that snuff, the term being "death as a sexual turn on" isn't allowed on Literotica. However, Erotic Horror is, which is weird in itself being that real erotic horror never ends well, most often characters die.

Maybe your first two submissions were throughly reviewed and the third might've just snuck by? No idea here, only guessing.

It's also very probable that there are way more people vetting the stories than just one or two. Could have been the same one caught it the first two times it was submitted, and then someone else was catching when you submitted it under your own handle.

I don't know, though... it's just a guess.

there are certainly stories with death and sex intertwined, murder, sadism, etc. usually under 'horror.'

(assuming you submitted in the same category on all occasions).
i'd say the differing results are because the reviewers, on the various occasions, read different excerpts.

or maybe you just hounded them... to death.

i had a look at the story (at your blog) and it seems well told, if properly horrifying.

anyway, it's up, and will likely stay unless there are lots of complaints.

Keep in mind Lit is a business. As a business Lit has a responsibility to play within the bounds, not unlike restaurants who must also run within restrictions and not everything is always caught. I think you should be less ticked off and more understanding and thankful.

Cheers.

well, if Literotica is like a restaurant, would charleyh be an entree or a sidedish?

sexual arousal in torture and murder are hardly forbidden within the horror genre; take for instance "Born Evil, Ch 2"

Thankful for what? That a story written by a regular gets approved when the same one under a newbie handle is rejected?
If I understand Geeky's point, there's a double standard here.

Yep, it's a porn site, not the pope. No claims made for infallibility.

Congratulations on getting the snuff story up through sheer persistence.

You would be correct Starrkers .... that is exactly what I was trying to say.

I am just going to say that you are a bit of an idiot who doesn't see the greater picture. Nothing more than that.

Guess that depends on your framing, really.

Hold up a sec for us trying to understand. Does framing distort reality or is it in contrast to such? The reality as the-person-posting-on-CharleyH's-account so plainly pointed out is that Lit is a business and *gasp* has to operate in reality. Complaining about one of the editors thinking the story crossed the line is one thing, but claiming there is nothing to be thankful for on this site is taking good things for granted. Not entirely sure there's even a picture in your frame.

 

[starrkers]

My point (and it would seem, geeky's original) was that it is harder for new authors to get stories posted that authors who have been here longer. This is not good.
Whether or not we should be thankful for Literotica's existence is irrelevant to that point (as a sidebar, I am very thankful for it. As a reader it is the clearest and easiest to navigate, as an author it is a straightforward run to post - wonderful)
Since the business side has been brought up: It is hardly good business sense to alienate potential authors. Geeky said she couldn't get a story posted under a new nom de plume, but it was posted without delay under her usual one.
So, a new author reads stuff here, writes something similar to what they have read and gets it rejected. Decides it's a closed shop and goes elsewhere.

I am just going to say that you are unpardonably rude and rather lacking in the social graces. For someone who touts her own intellect, you can be rather thick yourself sometimes, such as when the point went sailing past you.

Co-author reporting in.

Thanks for the thread and the recognition, babe.

Damifino why this story was rejected until geeky put it in under her own handle, but there it is and I hope everyone enjoys it.

Next time we'll do a Loving Wives story, partner.
