The Interview Project-Advance Word

[Barnaby]

I recently took the opportunity to interview three young lady friends of mine about sex with an eye toward adding more realism to my fiction. The project took on a life of it's own and I decided to publish the interviews themselves. It all took about 6 weeks of my time to finish up (while getting used to a new job.) including transcriptions, editing, and getting final permissions from the girls themselves. I feel closer to these friends then I have ever felt before and I'm fascinated to see how these pieces are received on LIT. One of the interviewees has already begun publishing her own pieces on LIT! The other two have expressed a real interest in documenting more of their sex lives for the record.They talked with me in comfortable circumstances. They all wanted to go on record for various reasons but whether they admitted it or not I'm sure one of those reasons was to see how the public (ie:Literotica readers) would react. All names and most identifying sections have been edited or deleted but otherwise, here are the sex lives of three 19-20 year old girls, laid bare. These were the first interviews I did. I feel as though I got better as I went along but there are obvious follow-up questions I missed and I resisted the temptation to attempt to get the girls to be more explicit than they were comfortable with. Thus, all three discuss very intimate matters including swallowing, gushing, and shaving with rarely a "dirty" word to be heard. I'm awaiting final approval from number three and I'll submit them. They'll probably be up by next weekend (Aug. 17) and I'll post links here. It's a long piece in three parts with a short intro. It's hot because they're real. If they go over, I'd love to do more.Please let me know what you think now and please read the pieces and vote after they're up. Thanks! Barnaby

be sure to come back and boost this up including a link once your story has been approved - i'd hate for your request to get lost in the background.

Slight Delay

Well, I was pretty sure I'd at least have the Project submitted by now but the last girl I needed an approval from was having a crisis all week and just now got to read it. She wants me to add back in something I edited out and then she'll approve it. Give it another week to be up. I have another story, SEMANTICS, awaiting Lit approval since yesterday (8-16) Check it out in a couple days. Thanx! In the meantime, check out this first erotic story from Dani Meadows, interviewee number one. http://www.literotica.com/stories/showstory.php?id=103810

 

[damppanties]

Hey B,

I ca't find your story by following the link you provided or by searching (by using your member name). Are you sure its up?

 

[Barnaby]

Link doesn't work

I really do know how to do the links these days but you're right, that one doesn't work. And remember, this is not yet my piece, this is a piece by Dani Meadows under First Time. It's called STATIC IN MY HEAD. She had me polish it for her but then accidentally pasted it to Lit from her original unpolished copy. It' s still hot. Dani is girl number one from my still to come INTERVIEW PROJECT. She's 19 years old, extremely cute and quite dirty-minded.Her STATIC is definitely up. It's got a 4.14. My own new fiction, SEMANTICS, is pending and should be up by Tuesday. Sorry for the confusion.

 

[damppanties]

Yep, here it is -

Static In My Head

Ok, I'm confused yet again. Is this the first of the interviews or is this totally different from the interview stories you're planning to do?

 

[damppanties]

Ok, I read Static in my Head and it can not be an interview.


I liked it though

 

[Barnaby]

I didn't write Static

More clarification: I interviewed three girls. The first girl I interviewed was named Dani Meadows. Dani became so intrigued by Literotica that she has started writing and publishing stories SHE wrote on this site. SHE wrote STATIC, not me. I simply tried to link to it as a time-filler until my interviews are approved and up. Dani has approved her interview. Dru has approved her interview. Meg SHOULD approve her interview today. THEN, the piece gets submitted to LIT. Thanx for the continued interest, though. I hope you liked Dani's story.

SEMANTICS

THIS should be a link to MY own new story, SEMANTICS. This is still not THE INTERVIEW PROJECT. I promise, it'll be worth the wait.http://www.literotica.com/stories/showstory.php?id=105237

 

[Dani Meadows]

Static was a journal entry that I sent to Barnaby and he suggested I should try my hand at LIT and so I did. Currently, its got a 4.28 rating which isnt bad Im guessing. I can't wait to find out how the Interview Project is recieved. It really is a hot one! G'night ya'll!

 

[damppanties]

Hi Dani,

Welcome to Lit. Nice place, this. I liked your story and loved the title. 4.28 is good. Believe me.

Introduction Excerpt

The entire project should be up by the weekend. I'll be back with links. While we wait, here’s an excerpt from the accompanying introduction. “Last year I started writing stories for Literotica. I enjoyed it as a writing exercise and was surprised at how well received my pieces were but there were problems. As I wrote more stories, I found myself falling back on porn cliches. Eventually, this led to writer’s block. I realized that I had become completely out of touch with the reality of sex today. The solution? I decided that I needed to talk to some young, open, sexually active women. Their opinions and experiences would hopefully bring a new realism to my writing. The end result is a totally unscientific view of the sex lives of three barely legal young ladies, all of whom, despite the fact that they’ve already had ten times more carnal experience than I ever had, remain child-like and naïve in so many ways. In spite of some of the things that come out, I know them all to be good girls. They are not porn stars, prostitutes or Internet sluts. They are, in fact, works in progress. Undoubtedly, I now know more about each of them than most of their lovers ever will. In a bizarre way, I feel like I’ve been made love to by all of them …and they were all fantastic in bed! Thanks girls! I hope it was good for you, too.”By the way, SEMANTICS (see above link) is my most read story ever after only two days! Thanks, everyone!

PART ONE IS UP!!

http://www.literotica.com/stories/showstory.php?id=105676 Well, here is the link to THE INTERVIEW PROJECT PART ONE. For some bizarre reason, this has been posted BEFORE my INTRODUCTION piece (despite 8 people behind the scenes at LIT having read that INTRO.)and the other two interviews, although all submitted together, have yet to be posted. Sigh! Anyway, This is Dani's interview. Hopefully, you've all read her STATIC story by now. Let me know what you think of my first interview. Feedback, please! I want to do more of these but I need a reason!Tips for additional questions would be good, also. ThanX!

 

[Barnaby]

Rejected!

Turns out the reason the other two aren't up yet is that they were rejected. I was afraid that might happen (for what I presume are obvious reasons)At the risk of compromising my journalistic integrity (this isn't exactly the New York Times), I have re-edited and resubmitted the interviews. I hope I've fixed the problem and you'll be seeing the pieces soon. They're worth the wait!In the meantime, any comments on Part one? It's maintaining a solid 5.00 so far!

 

[Dani Meadows]

I'd like to think that part one is Grade A journalism...lol then again, I might be a little bias. Too bad about the others. I'll be looking forward for them to post.
Dani

Hi Barnaby,

I read the first half of the interview with Dani. Your transcript was well prepared. Not sure why the others were rejected, though I'm unsure of the category the belong in. You brought a lot of energy and effort to the project.

The outcome, however, seemed sorta routine. Maybe my standard is a bit high or unrealistic, since I enjoyed the film "Sex Lies and Videotape."

Dani seemed quite open, but the questions were kinda stereotyped as if you were interviewing for Cherie or something.
There seemed to be a rigid sequence. Are you sure it's worth working from a list? iow what's your goal? for 20 kinky or unusual things, do the lady do them? I'd like more 'going with the flow' not 'here's another kinky thing I want to ask you.'

Anyway you wanted feed back. So there it is. Best of luck in your project. Are you trying to sell it?

J.

my comments

Hi Barnaby,

I enjoyed reading the interview. Some parts made me laugh, others made me think. The start wasn't too great but I think you improved as the interview went on.

One thing I really liked was the way Dani was so open about everything. That really worked. She seemed quite natural.

One thing I didn't like: You, the interviewer, came across as a grandfatherly type. Almost patronising.

Good luck with the other two interviews.

Awww Pure, not really. I think it had something to do with him completing her sentences one or two times and telling her the guys weren't doing the 'going down on her' right.

 

[Barnaby]

Introduction is belatedly up!

THE INTERVIEW PROJECT-INTRODUCTION Well, they're going up piecemeal but they seem to be going up. Technically, of course, this Intro should have gone first. The rewritten version should have then gone last as the other two interviews were re-edited and re-submitted first. Apparently there's still some problem although they have not yet been rejected again. Sigh. Oh well, any thoughts on the Intro while we wait?

 

[damppanties]

I don't know Barnaby. Does it have to be a separate thing altogether? Perhaps a shorter version of the introduction should appear at the beginning of all interviews. Do you actually think people would read the introduction before reading the interview?

 

[Barnaby]

Shorter Intro

Originally, I had a shorter intro with each one but because the interviews were running long themselves, i decided to do it as a stand-alone piece. I did two different versions. Dani liked one and Meg didn't.Meg liked the other and Dani didn't. My wife liked parts of each so I combined the two. Then Lit's restrictions had me restructure this final version yet again.

 

[Pure]

I agree with dp, the intro is needlessly long. It's at 750 words.
It could be done in 250; or 150. OR make it a heck of a lot more entertaining to read on its own.

Also it doesn't answer one obvious question. 90% of pieces at literotica are plain porn or pornlike erotica, without much character or plot. They are *fantasies* intended to appeal to others with fantasies. It's *assumed* that the consumer knows this, and doesn't care, just as with a porn film the consumer doesn't care about what the girl had for breakfast or her doubts about her life path.

Given this fact, gathering 'realistic' data, assuming that's what you got, seems somewhat beside the point. Further, were you to write up a story of Dani's last date, for instance, it might be pretty damn boring, and maybe she didn't come, etc.

Only if it were written up in a 'literary' way, as a short story, and it showed her conflicts, etc, and didn't just deal with the swelling of her clit would the story be interesting to the general consumer, or other young ladies not seeking porn; but then it wouldn't be of much interest to 99% of those at literotica. You could sell it to Seventeen, or something.

Do you see my problem?

Yes, for sure dp, I can picture it thus:

Grandpa Meadows: Hi Dani, hows my favorite grandkid today?
Dani: Great. Gramps, I really love you a lot.

G: Well, that's wonderful, I love you too. But love comes in different forms you know?
Dani: (blushes) Aw... Gramps that's a little embarrassing. You're teasing me.

G: No, not at all, and I don't want to embarrass you dear, but you know that new boyfriend of yours, Jake?
Dani: Yes.

G: Well, did Jake ever have anal sex with you? and how was it?
Dani: Aw Gramps, I guess you're not teasing. And we do confide in each other, don't we. Just between you and me, it hurt quite a bit. My asshole is not very big, you know. What you don't know is that Jake's just enormous.

 

[Barnaby]

Finally! Part Two!

THE INTERVIEW PROJECT PART TWO-DRU'S STORY At last! Okay, enough with the grandfather stuff. Dani has now taken to calling me Papaw! I called Meg around midnight to tell her that she's apparently too hot for the room as her part three remains unapproved as of yet. It'll be worth the wait. Check out Dru. Comments?
