We're finally doing it...the tentacle monster thread.

I need to find some of my old stuff, there's a few tenticle stories in there...
 
If I can focus on finishing my next story (12K words into "Amorous Goods: The Magic Lamp"), I'll have my first tentacle monster story by the end of the month.

I've been distracted and on a roll with an idea for the Pink Orchid challenge. I'm 3.5k words into a first-person story from my MFC wife's POV. The old Hall & Oates song best describes her: Maneater. ("Watch out, boy she'll chew you up")

Some of these threads in the AH spur me into different directions.
 
Rereading comments on this thread and seriously considering a LW Tentacles tale.
 
I tried to write an offshoot of the tentacle monster story. It started out as a girl walking through a forest and plants attacking her, like in the movie The Evil Dead. It ended up with a plant woman consuming a man in bed. A Kiss Before We Part

Still considering doing the first version some time. It just didn't flower for me like I wanted it to.
 
Haven’t done a tentacle story yet. Some of the tongues and a prehensile tail in my currently released stories come close. Maybe some day.
 
Latest Published is about tentacles, but Gregory is not a monster, he's a gentleman. Is it the weirdest thing I've written? Maybe. Most romantic? Definitely.
 
If you need any “expert” advice, hun, you know who to ask 🤣.

By our powers combined!

Okay then, riddle me this:

I write a story about an unhappy housewife who stumbles across a tentacle monster. Let's go with the trope setting, a cave along a secluded beach.

She is at first reluctant as the creature takes her and has it's way with her, but she finds herself aroused in ways she's never been before. Perhaps the creature has mental abilities to stroke the flames of her desires as well as those long, dangly appendages.

She quickly finds herself addicted, visiting the cave almost every day, lying to her husband as to her whereabouts, spurring his advances because his basic human anatomy no longer does it for her.

Husband discovers his wife's treachery when he follows her to the cave. He watches in both horror and arousal as the tentacle monster ravages his wife sexually.

But ultimately he is jealous and humiliated.

He waits til she leaves then returns to the cave with a torch and literally burns the creature to ash.

My question is: what category do I publish?

Loving wives
Sci Fi / Fantasy
Non Human
Reluctant/ Non Con
Exhibitionist / Voyeur
Humor & Satire

Actually, given that the monster is addictive, i.e., the wife only wants to go back because of its hold on her, I’d drop it in Erotic Horror. It’s too fantastical to do well in LW.

You need to set it on a spaceship.

And BTC (Burn the Cephalopod) is not big on Lit.

And most of all, poor octopus 😢. I like octopodes.

Point of order: As most cephalopods are aquatic (discounting non-terrestrial 'spacephalopods,' of course), burning is problematic. I suggest the acronym refer to "Boil the Cephalopod" instead.
Thank you for you time.

I don’t eat squid or octopus. I have historically. But I now think about it the way some people might think about eating cat or dog.

This was long before I wrote the Coleoidphilia Trilogy. I like sea creatures. I wanted to be a marine biologist when I was little. Then I thought that mostly involved swimming with cetaceans 😬.

In case it need be stated, I do not advocate either the burning or boiling of cephalopods (nor of bitches, for that matter). I'm merely a pedant, not a monster.
(Although a haunted house for authors featuring a grammar pedant is an idea I am now enjoying.)
 
Okay, fine. Maybe they reach some kind of understanding instead.

Cucked By An Octopi

Has a nice ring to it, eh?
He's living in a cave!

I envision a scene such as in the movie "Big Fish" where the giant "monster" was just an extremely tall man, who was being persecuted by the locals.

So, your monster might also just be an extremely flexible, but disfigured and misunderstood young man, maybe with extreme teenage acne leaving him with pock marks. Calling him an "Octopi?"

It doesn't need to be in the Non-human category, unless you're being judgmental.
 
I am running into an issue with a UFO tentacle creature story.
Is "over 18" our years, or their years? And what if they are over 18 Terran years, but under age of consent? Or over 18 alien years, of their age of consent, but under 18 Terran years?
Readers will really want all this clear.
And Cthulhu save me from the moderators.

My tentacle story is going into SciFi as an Amorous Goods story, hopefully within a few days. The complete draft is done. Now its publication is just limited by my obsession to edit.
