Stories you are proud of

[Duleigh]

I've thrown 22 stories against the wall, and they all stuck quite well, I've only got harassed once by that "cuck-freak" who insists on shoving his sense of fidelity down our throats with his cluster one-bombs. He now considers lesbian stories "Cucholdry" It takes all kinds... anyhow... Of those stories that I've published, I've put up two that I'm incredibly proud of:

Blind Sided by the Blind Guy - a playful little story about a blind guy and his girlfriend "gettin' some" at work. I received lots of feedback from blind readers of Literotica thanking me for portraying a blind person properly
and now:

Stormwatch - A Rest for the Heart - being an advocate for PTSD and the epidemic of veteran's suicide this story has been bottled up inside and it finally came out after months of struggle with the subject. I almost didn't publish it because, who would want to read it? Well, the feedback I've gotten tells me that I did something right, my readers are getting it and asking for more and more importantly, veteran readers are getting the importance of "Buddy checks"

Here's your chance - if you published a story that the feedback is telling you that you hit a chord, that you did something good, put it up here for us all to see!

My story Rope and Veil was well received by readers with disabilities for giving them a sexual voice rarely seen in erotica. The story is about an able-bodied man who falls for a woman with paraplegia and how they navigate her changed sexuality.

I received this comment, which is powerful:

Gorgeous
I am a wheelchair user. You have a great sense of what it means. She is beautifully seen, strong and vulnerable. I have never thought to include my disability in my writing, but you inspire me to. I will write and post. Thank you.

Someone else wrote,

Such a world....
Just when I think I've seen it all, something totally unique pops up on Literotica, reminding me that I haven't. Thank you both.

thinking it was autobiographical, whereas it's pure fiction.

I'm proud of the Alexaverse, naturally. I'm also proud of Time Rider and The Great Khan, which are about as different in tone as you can imagine. Time Rider is a goofy comedy, whereas Khan is a historical war drama.

My one-shot story 'I Don't Get You' does well, so I'm happy about that.

But mostly it's about the ever-expanding Alexaverse. It takes a lot of work and dedication to keep going.

 

[Duleigh]

Well, let's try that again. Inserting a link from the phone is a pain in the ass.

For Some Reason, I Think of Home: A lack of self esteem couples with bullying to push a girl into making the absolute worst choices she could make.

Blood Wine: A senior trip brings an outcast closer to acceptance and love in Paris, at least, it will if it isn't foiled by a jealous and controlling teacher.


Both run with a similar theme of the main character having an affinity toward the occult and witchcraft (a curiosity for both characters, though one is actually interested in practice rather than just learning about it.) and that playing into some aspect of the outcome for each story.

Otherwise, the one I'm proudest of isn't on here and I'm not sure it will ever be on here due to a particular degloving scene.

It's called The Keeper of the Cave.

Degloving? Ew. Yeah. Thank you for keeping that one under wraps. (See what I did there?)

VERY POWERFUL! It was difficult for me to read, someone close to me was in a car accident and came out quadriplegic, she finally gave up the fight after 25 years of being of being chairbound. You got so much right...

I'm pretty happy with most of my stuff, but the three "Cricket Anyone?" stories are ones I'm proud of. I used two Indian female characters by another author, moved them to Australia, and spent a long time collaborating with Sweetdreamssss to make sure I had the cultural and other country differences correct.

They were a lot of work but I'm happy with the results. They have good scores and comments and I picked up a place for one in a competition.

I'm more proud that I managed to keep a cricketing theme in the titles, and in alphabetical order.

 

[GrushaVashnadze]

My best story ever is my first and my longest: Alison Goes to London. Its early chapters are all "hot" here on Lit, after which it suffers from the inevitable drop-off in reader numbers for multi-chapter novels. And, being a novel which interweaves multiple threads and character arcs, it does not fit easily into the categories so beloved of a certain type of Lit reader. However, I commend it to you, as a social satire, and a romantic comedy, and a very filthy funny read. Here's what a couple of other Lit writers have said about it:

"tremendously well-written... some of the most arrant unhinged filth I have ever had the pleasure to read... full of outrageous humour - consider me sold" (Jaymal)
"Better than many novels... fantastic writing" (Violet_Vixen)

 

[Carnevil9]

I'm proudest of the eleven chapters of my "Hand Job Slut" series. I think they achieved my goal of a fine balance between sweet innocence and depraved sensuality, all the while providing a redemption arc that can give hope to anyone. At least that's how I see it.

 

[NewOldGuy77]

My latest, Roll Me Away, is a Transgender romance and for once ALL the comments have been very positive!

I'm also quite proud of Bad Blood Ch. 03 - Fine Day For a Reunion - it's a Romance around two over-40 people, and has, to my eye, some of the best sex scenes I ever wrote.

As for series, my The Black Rose Legacy Non-Human (Sasquatch) stories all still give me a lot of joy.

 

[Kumquatqueen]

44 stories here. Some are simple write-ups of my life with the edges and serial numbers filed off, so not really achievements of fiction writing. Some experiments, some parts of series, some didn't quite work. Some that did, selected to appeal to all sexualities:

One of my first fiction stories was Gas Station Guy where a woman (crap lesbian or filthy bisexual, definitely a pissed-off feminist) is mistaken for a man by the guy working at the gas station (British Bangladeshi gay virgin). Embarrassment, conversation and some sexual exploration ensue.

"This was a wonderful story. Her storyline, his storyline, the development and the dialogue were enthralling."
"This is one of the most genuinely queer and delightful stories I've read on this whole damn site & definitely one of my faves. ... I love Rachel and Atif and all the other characters you've scattered in the story."

Same woman is a background character in Homesick Halloween- shy housemate eventually gets together with the American exchange student who ends up living with her for six months. He's homesick, the girls try cheering him up with a Halloween party, but it's all weird and different.

"the culture clashes and phrasing differences are bang on in this, the humour had me crying with laughter in places, plus the gentle build of attraction between the two principals was so well done, the mental picture of a Thanksgiving dinner with British Christmas Crackers is one I’ll treasure for a long time!"
"So sweet that I hardly even minded waiting for the sex."

Turkish Delight aimed to be half travelogue, half gay porn, sort of in the style of KeithD, only there's also a fair bit of characterisation of the guys who recently got together in a 14-chapter series. It's fun, though four guys fucking is hell on the pronouns!

'Raw, intensely sensuous, arresting descriptions, exotic setting, polylingual. Brought us into the narrator's head from the start, leading all the way to the finish. Lovely'

Finally, Wheelchair Bound? explores effects of chronic illness on two women in a kinky relationship. Trying a wheelchair helps more than expected.

"Charming descriptions, attention to detail, capturing the independence issues of disability as well as the thrill of bound limbs in the able-bodied and inverted power dynamics. ... splendid dialog as well. Bravo."
"a real life couple making the best out of the messy thing that is life."
"I'm guessing this is a true story or as close to reality as possible. To much accurate information about wheelchairs. Anyway great story." A blue W, too.

Mama loves all her babies, and isn't supposed to have a favorite. But...

I have done very well with my writing here. Almost all my stories have been rated Hot. I've won two readers choice awards and am in the running for a third. Of course, I am proud of all of them.

But one that I am particularly proud of is The Gold Dollar Girls

I based the characters on girls I worked with when I was a dancer. I wanted to show a bit of what that life is like, without the usual tropes and stereotypes. Each of them has a plot line that speaks to an issue common to sex workers. One struggles to have a relationship outside "the life." One fights the prejudice in the system over child custody. Another succumbs to the temptation to succeed through her own exploitation. And, to balance it, one is happy and healthy and in a very loving relationship.

They are sexy and funny. Sometimes they show wisdom and sometimes make complete fools of themselves. Sometimes, they are downright bitches. I love them so much, I have brought them back twice, once for a rather memorable trip to a certain hamburger joint on Christmas Eve. I'll bring them back again, I'm sure.

But what makes me proud of their story is that I feel like I gave voice to a lot of women I've known, and many I don't. They are not glamorous nor are they lowlifes. They are just working women trying to get by. Except, ya know, with their clothes off.

And if that's not erotica, nothing is .

In 1993 & 1994 I was stationed in Korea, and we watched a lot of the Sky network out of Australia and Cricket was on a lot. Since it's extremely rare in the USA we didn't understand one iota of the sport, this was pre-internet, so we had no access to the rules. It was completely alien but it was oddly hypnotic, and we watched a lot of it to the point where we had favorite teams. Mine was Sri-Lanka, and I still have no idea why.

Definitely adding your girls to my reading list!

I can't wait to read Wheelchair Bound? I'm no stranger to chronic illness, wheelchairs, and bondage, but I've never thought of trying to combine them.

Why thank you, Duleigh! Consdering that Jaymal is, IMHO, the king of arrant unhinged filth, I am most flattered by his comment. I hope you find the novel satisfying: please do leave comments/votes.

In 1993 & 1994 I was stationed in Korea, and we watched a lot of the Sky network out of Australia and Cricket was on a lot. Since it's extremely rare in the USA we didn't understand one iota of the sport, this was pre-internet, so we had no access to the rules. It was completely alien but it was oddly hypnotic, and we watched a lot of it to the point where we had favorite teams. Mine was Sri-Lanka, and I still have no idea why.

Funny, I had a similar situation about ten years earlier. A few of us uni students watched the Formula 1 on a Sunday night, with a "few" drinks. After the season finished, channel nine showed American football. We had no idea what was going on. We picked different teams to follow and I chose San Francisco because it was an old gold town, and my family came from Bendigo, another gold town.

 

[oggbashan]

Ok, why?

English Lane is a real tear-jerker and about a military family. I was dubious about submitting it but it has done well.

Christmas Truce is a historic piece set in the 1920s. It won a Winter holiday contest and I think I got the era right.

Jeanie the Genie is a different Genie story, with the main male character showing that love is doing whatever will please her.

 

[Lifestyle66]

My story "Lifestyle Ch. 11 - Demons Past" is one I thought might do well in Romance, and the current ratings and the only two comments indicate it was good.

I thought it was a good story describing the MC wife's dysfunctional upbringing during her teen years, and her run-in with an abusive affair when she was 21. The story takes place when she and her husband return to their hometown, and she tries dealing with those bad memories (her brother's death and an NC abuse experience).

But the story was 1-bombed by a stalker within an hour or two of publishing (before I even saw it published), and after over a month now has only 1,200 views. The ratings scraped off the single one and left four 5s and a three (4.6 but only five ratings). Thus, I no longer obsess over ratings. The haters are who they are and always full of it.

 

[Kumquatqueen]

I can't wait to read Wheelchair Bound? I'm no stranger to chronic illness, wheelchairs, and bondage, but I've never thought of trying to combine them.

I hope you enjoy! I should perhaps warn you that there is one unrealistic line in the whole thing - saying that any damage to a hired wheelchair is covered...

I don't need a chair any more but have had partners whose idea of seduction goes "your joints are all aching? We'll just have to make some more fun parts of you hurt better, then, won't we?" There's a story there. (sighs, adds to the pile of plot bunnies...)

My story Rope and Veil was well received by readers with disabilities for giving them a sexual voice rarely seen in erotica. The story is about an able-bodied man who falls for a woman with paraplegia and how they navigate her changed sexuality.

[Wifetheif]

I'd have to go with my 14-part series Mrs. Cheng Pays the Debt"
https://www.literotica.com/s/mrs-cheng-pays-the-debt

I have had Asian women tell me that it is very realistic and not far from the reality of what some Asian women have experienced in real life. It is also not full of stereotypical dialogue and gives the heroine some agency, all of which has been praised -- Not bad for a middle-aged white boy!
