Taboo?

[starrkers]

I tend to avoid the incest/taboo section. I've read a few stories there, but incest generally turns my stomach (long story for another day).
Assuming I wanted to write a story for it, what else can go in that section?

I may be mistaken, but I think it's just incest or near incest. By that, I mean something that is not legally incest, but involves two or more persons with a familial relationship. I have seven stories in the category and one involves a brother and sister. That is strictly incest but four of the others are a man and his wife's nieces and two are a man and his stepdaughter. Those six would be considered taboo.

I don't know about other taboo stories. Maybe a priest seducing a nun or vice-versa. Maybe a teacher and his or her 18 year old student, assuming those are not NC stories.

In all my incest stories, the people involved all enjoy themselves very much, and look forward to doing more of the same as soon as they can.

Tough question. Incest stories are enormously popular (hey, I don't get it either, but they are), which is why that topic has pretty much taken over that category. Popular in that folk want to write them, and popular that folk want to read them, so authors write them to get lots of readers.

Which pretty much leaves other taboos out in the cold. But then, most other "taboos" have their own categories. I wonder what is left that isn't incest that is taboo and doesn't have a category? You can't write beastiality or underage sex, and if you were to write about a guy having sex with, say, his car that would probably go into "toys"...sex with a tree would probably be in "inhuman..."

I guess, as suggested, maybe something like a priest and a nun?

Although you'd probably get slammed (not in a good way) I've seen stories there which were in-law sex rather than incest.

Generally, a story in the cat is better received if it IS incest, not just some kind of in-law thing. The real divide comes with the force aspect. Some readers really get a squick if any hint of force or coercion comes in, others hail such a story like a long lost wallet.

Starrkers, are you doing the 'write for every category' gig? Why even bother with it, if it doesn't give you any pleasure to write for it?

Yeap.... i tried it that way and yes i got slammed at first but the story still has an H and the comments were good....

It was more of a mistaken idenity story.... daughter-in law in the bed instead of girlfriend...

Well, I wrote about second cousins in Montana Summer...that may or may not actually be related at all...they are still waiting on the DNA test results...

I have done quite wrll in this category and all seven stories carry the H. The stories of my (wife's) nieces have the highest scores, and those aren't real incest.

the woody allen case comes to mind, also. he had sex with--and has married-- a adoptive [or foster?] daughter of his wife.

in the jewish 'incest' list are several non blood connections that just seem a bit disturbing, like the man and his wife's brother's ex-wife. fucking both mother and daughter, also {or marrying mom, divorcing her and marrying her daughter [by a previous marriage]}

priest and members of congregation comes to mind, also , not just priest and nun.

teachers have been mentioned; in the news are h.s. female teachers and 14 year old boys. {sometimes kids and or marriage have resulted}

by law, captains of ships may not fuck the passengers--don't know if that counts.

the military have rules against 'fraternization,' i.e. an american soldier in Japan after WWII marrying a Japanese woman.

Underage. Can't write about it.

Interracial.

See? Most other "taboos" are against the rules or covered by other categories

I think that writing one for every category could be a good self-challenge. To see whether you can do it or not. Stretching your limits, testing your abilities and skills is never bad thing. Writing should be a pleasure, but some might get pleasure from going outside their comfort zone ...the feeling of accomplishment in writing something that you might not normally write - but to still have written it well - that would be a bit of a rush in itself.

That's why I did Survivor in the first place (before my competitive OCD nature kicked in... )

Listen, Starrkers, if this is a Survivor thing, just write around it, and then use an immunity for that category when you eventually win one. I did that for a couple that I just didn't think I could ever write in, for whatever reason.

And this is why I entered Survivor this year - I like a challenge. It wouldn;t be enough to make me write in a category i really didn;t like however. Writing is for fun, and if it ISN'T fun, then I won;t write it.

If you can't stomach writing incest - don;t do it!

Close relations are essential

Incest readers don't want second cousins or relations in law.

What they want is the frisson of breaking the taboo of sex with a close relative. Mother/son, father/daughter and sister/brother are most appreciated.

Sister/sister, mother/daughter, father/son and brother/brother are probably better in the lesbian/gay category.

My attempts are really normal heterosexual relationships with the addition of guilt 'I shouldn't be doing this with my sister/brother'; 'What if someone finds out' etc. They seem to work. If I wrote about sex with a cousin, I might as well write a normal story. The guilt has to be real.

There's a lot of categories that I couldn't write in...I have to feel the passion in it to write it...If I can't give it my all...then there is no point...

But, as always, this is only my point of view...

I have to disagree with you there, Og. Montana Summer Ch 1 is about second cousins, and at over 210,000 reads and over 1200 votes in a year and a half, I would have to say that at least a few incest readers were happy with 2nd cousins...

 

[Vermilion]

Maybe social worker and the person they're looking out for, doctor and patient, someone shagging the offsrping of one of their friends... there's actually quite a few taboo subjects - just think what people might raise their eyebrows at and go with that one.

As someone said, though, if it doesn't make you happy - don't do it...

I think that's the exception that proves the rule.

A good story, and Montana Summer Ch 1 IS a good story, will get the votes wherever it is and whatever it covers.

PS. I'm not jealous (I'm lying!). 1200 votes is more than the total for all my 150 stories.

Silly question -

A story plot: Man invents a time machine and goes 20 years into the past. Meets his mother, has sex.

Is this Sci-Fi or Taboo?

Yes...

 

[Boxlicker101]

I will also say that readers of the I/T category freely express their appreciation. One of my "My Cute Nieces" has a score of 4.80. That's pretty good, but not good enough to make the top 500. Maybe not even the top 600 or 700.

 

[oggbashan]

Yes...

And Fantasy.

If the man is 19 years old ... you're talking about some potential paradox.

I always thought the general rule is that the stronger "kink" determines the category if there are multiple "plot devices". Two women having sex ... lesbian sex category. Two sisters having sex ... incest. Two sisters having heavy D/s play involving leather, slings and assorted other accoutrements ... BDSM. Sci-Fi isn't really a kink though.

I suppose if the story is focusing more on the science aspect ... does he go back for more than a quickie? Then it might go into science fiction. If the time machine is just a vehicle to get him into his mother's panties (god that is so fricking crude), then it is incest.

The whole incest thing aside, it is an interesting thought. A man travels back in time, has sex with a woman, who then becomes pregnant and gives birth to her only child.

The man is his own father.
