Story Partner Needed

[CmdrGdHrt]

I would like to work with a female submissive writer in collaboration on a story. I would like to swap "chapters" back and forth with her. I would write one chapter, describing part of a larger story line from my perspective. Then she would write the next chapter, briefly recapping the story from HER perspective, and then taking the story line a step further. I'd give her MY perspective, and so on.

I've started one such story here with a woman, who, while not submissive, thought she could get into the role. She could not, and having no understanding of Dominance and submission, took the story line in simply the wrong direction. She also found her real time life interfering way too much with maintaining the story thread.

I've had a couple of other women write to me to say that they were interested in participating, but when I wrote them back and asked for some background information, to make the story more realistic, they never answered.

One sample of my writing has been posted in the BDSM subject group.

So, serious inquiries only, PLEASE.

Kurt

Hello? Anyone out there?

 

[snooper]

Some of us have heard the lady's version of your last attempt at cooperation.

 

[CmdrGdHrt]

Implication

The implication you make is that HER version of what happened is different than mine. I stated that after a lengthy wait for a reply, she took the story in a different direction than I liked, and so I ended the correspondence. Is HER version different?

I'm still looking for a partner.

Dear CmdrGdHrt after reading your original story premise. I found it in to be a poor rip-off of Indecent Proposal.

Our views on the way the story should go were not the same, and that should have been the end of it.

Writing derogatory remarks about myself does not resolve any problems, we might have. I hope you find someone that can work with you and I wish all the best on future projects.

Thank you snooper for your support, but I don't think that I am the only person. That has had problems with CmdrGdHrt and his views on what is a good story and what is not. I suppose it takes all sorts to make the world.

Lime I see you cannot work with him at either, so that makes two of us. I wonder how many more there are. When I was made aware of this thread I tried to read CmdrGdHrt posts, only to find he is already in my ignore list to pass must have crossed before, but never again I hope.

I would find it very difficult to cooperate with anyone in writing a story because writing is such a personal thing.

Unless there are clearly understood criteria established between the two authors and they are sympathetic to each other then I think that the project will be very difficult.

There are examples of AH authors working together successfully but the mutual respect each has for the other is obvious.

Asking for a female submissive author is a loaded request. A person may enjoy participating and writing about the submissive role but any author has to have a significant amount of self esteem to write and display their work. A 'submissive' is unlikely to be submissive about writing. The voluntary editor's role can be difficult if the editor is not diplomatic in expressing criticisms.

A co-authored work between authors who have respect for each other's talents could produce a work about BDSM and submission but one author should not be the junior partner liable to be overruled by the other.

Dear Ms Linnet

Since your name was not mentioned in my original post, I did not see that my remarks were hurtful to anyone. The decision to publicize of whom I was being critical was yours, not mine. Until you and snooper decided to take this public, it wasn't.

If you have knowledge of others who "had trouble working with" the Cmdr, I'd like to know who. There is only one other person that I started to work with, and I am unaware of any "problem" they had. I have NO idea who "Lime" is, and have never attempted to work with anyone of that name.

I think you've merely proven the age-old adage: Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

 

[oggbashan]

Lime and I were offering general, not specific, advice.

Cooperation in story writing might be better accepted in the Story Ideas forum.

As I said, I would find it difficult to co-author anything, and those of us who write about submissives are not likely to be submissive as authors. Few authors are because we have to have the audacity to put our work out in public.

Perhaps I AM asking too much. I have had successful exchanges in the past.
