Taking Chances As An Auther

Hi all.

Have been questioning my decision to add a few twists to a story, knowing from past experience that some readers really enjoy twists.

The story "Making Daddy Pay" will (should) be posted soon as I submitted several days ago.

Authors know that we put a little bit of ourselves in the story, the Risk Factor so to speak. But now I'm wondering if I may have taken too big of a chance. Don't know.

Would be interested if others have taken a gamble and succeded, or failed.

Crossing fingers it does okay.
 
I guess it would depend on a few things, like just what kind of twist you're including, or what kind of risk you're taking. And are you worried about what people will think of the twist? Or will they perhaps react to the fact that you wrote it, and it's different from what they're used to?

I know I've said before I find it amusing when I write a stroke story (not that I've done many), and they are rated lower than my "usual" stuff. I mean, it's an erotic story site, right? :)

However, readers of different categories appear to vote differently, so they must want different things. And I got a couple of comments to the effect of: "All right, you can do this, now go back to the stories that you do better/we like better/are more interesting, etc."

So I think it depends on so many things, not least of which is the readers' feelings about the author and their works to that point.
 
I am currently gambling big time.My "samba" finale is a five part spinoff, two parts of which have no erotica at all.

In part two the main character, who is heavily trained in martial arts, and is borderline crazy-complete with a voice as he is paranoid schizophrenic- is attacked in his home and kills several people before being shot in the chest.

In the next part I decided to go back to my horror writing days and introduce a female character and describe in detail her slaying five people in a ritualized style.

The sex that is in there is some of the roughest I've come up with including knife play.

And for the hell of it I throw in a satanic wedding ceremony.

All of these things are parts of me that I have decided to indulge. I have 25 years of karate behind me and love fight scenes, I once belonged to a coven, and have used knives during sex (not with the current wife of course) I will also admit to tossing this out there after being challenged by some asshole, who writes erotic horror/Non Human and claims I can no longer pull this shit off.

Seeing my editor at the time told me they couldn't handle the ritual killing I think he is in for a rude awakening.

So far part one is a good 20 points below my average score, and I don;t feel the others will fare any better, but what the hell? Many chapters of this thing I forced in sex to keep the readers happy. I decided to make myself happy at the end.

As for risk? what risk? Will I lose my Literotica royalties? Maybe get booted from a few favorites pages but big deal.

Just go for it Asylum Seeker, you'll be just fine! (although you make me wonder when it is daddy/daughter and you're speaking of putting a lot of yourself into it:eek:

Just kidding.

That's okay. My daughter knows how to "assume" the position.

Only kidding BTW. Don't even have one.

Can't make any assumptions these days.

Do you get a lot of e-mails from readers asking if you have had sex with your daughters? I mean Daddy's Girls was pretty long.

reason I ask is I got some asking if I have seduced my mother.

Have to say the only time I ever wanted to touch my mother inappropriately was to wring her neck a couple of times.

No, never have.
 
Go for it. I'm gonna jump in the loving wives pool at some point, just for the fun of it.

I'll meet you in there, just added a rough outline of one to my "plotbunny" notebook. There is no cuckholding in mine, nor a big black guy fucking a white wife, so I'll really be in trouble.
 
Not too much reason to add yet another story to the pile unless it was something you were taking chances with.
 
When all is said and done, I write for myself and the story tends to take it's own course. The twists were already somewhere in my head and they just need to come out. Even if I'm writing a story for someone else, I still add my twists. Some of my stories are so eclectic and varied that readers who love half my stories will hate my other half. I can't even write "incest' stories the correct way...I refuse to follow the formulas. I just write em how I want to. I have about 4 million hits on my stories so...someone is reading and enjoying them. :)
