Taboo Topics

[NaughtyMike]

Okay I had 2 poems rejected. I didn't know such a free forum had taboo topics. Besides killing your parents, and necrophilia (I thought sex with minors was the only no-no) what other subjects can't be written about??? Let me know so I won't waste my time going there. How about Jesus getting a good ass fucking? Just let us know.

Lit has several taboo topics. The stories go to allextreme.com, you'll notice the extreme link down on the category list somewhere. There is no place for taboo poetry that I'm aware of.

Here's a list, and it's not all inclusive:

Bestiality
Rape
Snuff
Necrophilia
Anything particularly gory

Minors are not allowed in sexual situations anywhere.

If I may make a small correction, based on my observations.

Sexual assaults and rapes are not 'taboo', nor do they consign a story to 'extreme.' So far as I can make out, it's particularly brutal and/or multiple rapes (i.e., by five guys) that tend to get the story put into 'extreme.' 'Ordinary' rapes are assigned to 'nonconsent' and should be submitted in that category of main literotica stories.

I believe that non-consent is made up of rape that conforms to the fantasy where the rapee enjoys it. Extreme rape is more along the lines of rape where the victim does not enjoy it. As ridiculous as it sounds, consentual non-consent versus non-consentual non-consent. Though Laurel is the final verdict on this.

So how does one submit an "extreme" story

I've looked, and I can't seem to find the procedure for submitting what would I already know would be a extreme story...

Can anyone tell me?

good site

www.allextremesex.com and www.nifty.org (gay/lesbian/bi/beastiality)

both are free - of course
enjoy

If you want Laurel to post it in the extreme section, then I'd just submit it the regular way and flag it at the top or in the note section. "This is an extreme story." Something like that.

Taboo topic

I have two questions actually. I am writing an incest story about a brother and his older sister. I read that the minimum age was 18. I originally stated that the brother was 14 and the sister at 20. But I went back and deleted there ages from the story. I instead, eluded to the brothers age, by still having him in High School and not giving his or her age at all. My question is, can I do that? Elude to the age without really giving it. I didn't put him in any particular grade in school, only have him in high school. My second question is: How long can a story be? I am at 17,000 word count right now and am just getting a good start. Is there a maximum length?

 

[KillerMuffin]

You can write a story as long as you want. You may want to consider breaking it up into chapters and posting it as a series. There is a Novel/Novellas category where longer stories go.

As far as the age thing goes. The 18 year old cut of is firm. However, if you don't put in an actual age in the story, you only have to worry about the allusions you make. If you say that his voice is changing or that his body is hairless, then you're breaking the rules because he's obviously pre-adolescent. There are eighteen year olds in high school, they are, generally, in their senior year. Don't make it inconsistent with how an eighteen year old teenager would be.

We've all read the stories where "Kitten" was a virgin who didn't know a damned thing about sex and "Daddy" popped her cherry. She was obviously originally a lot younger than the eighteen years the author is claiming.

Unless there is some written in stone reason for you story to require a fourteen year old boy, you might want to consider just making him eighteen in your mind and writing him as if he were eighteen. It solves problems in consistency.

 

[Gray Beard]

An other question? Is it better to write in the first person or as a narrative? I am trying to write the story as a narrative, but I keep catching myself writing as first person. It seems easier to write using I, (I did this, she did that.) Insted of (He did this, she did that.) Which way is the most interesting, what will reader prefer?

 

[Sprite_65]

I've always been taught that consistency in tense is the most important. If you're more comfortable using I instead of he, then do so. You'll have less chance of mistakes. Of course, those would hopefully be caught by the editor you choose.

What the readers enjoy will vary. Write with your heart and the readers will follow, no matter what the tense.

Age

I find it very interesting to try to write around the taboo of underage, incest, it makes for so very creative writing. I'm kind of worried about my writing though, I have 64 pages written so far, double space dialoge mostly, and they haven't, (my bro/sis) had genital sex yet. I know readers are not going to want to read that much just to get to that point. Have you any advice here? I just keep writing and writing. Had the same problem in college, prof. would ask for 1000 words, I'd write 2500.

"Write shit, Edit brilliantly."

Finish your story, and when you go back to edit ask yourself "does this bit advance the story?" about each scene or conversation.

You say "haven't ... had genital sex yet" so I presume that they've had oral sex and done some petting? Some readers will definitely read "that much" to get to the "real sex" if the tease is hot enough.

Story plot

I read on the story ideas thread, somebody wanted a story about a bro/sis that fall in love, and presumably live happily ever after. So I spent a lot of time setting up, the process of falling in love, before sex even happens and then the romance that follows. Tried to stay away from just lust, although there is a lot of sex, I am trying to make it more than just pronography. Maybe that's what I'm doing wrong, if I am doing something wrong, haven't finished the story yet.

 

[KillerMuffin]

You may not be doing anything wrong. Some people can't write short fiction, they can only write novels. Stephen King complained that he couldn't write a short story because they just didn't want to stop that soon. You'll notice that as he's advanced through the books they've gotten longer or became trilogies.

Your concern is how your story is compared to what you've read on the site. It's 60 pages, that doesn't tell me much because I write in 12 point, Whisper writes in 10 point, and a few I edit for write in 14 or 16 point. We use word count. Generally speaking File--> page setup --> information/properties/something.

If you would be so kind, post the first three paragraphs. Resist temptation, just the three.
