What are we all writing right now?

[SomaSlave]

I just finished Masters' Night In; it dropped today. Next up in Galatea's saga is Roissy Night: I have the outline finished and am starting on the first draft. Also in the pipeline: the next part of Afternoons with Ginger, which is a combo reminiscence/what-if/meet cute. It's a romance with a twist or three along the way.

That sounds like a lot of fun, and I can certainly see pegging perking up a few patients! Will keep an eye out for it.

The project has expanded a bit Even commissioned an artist to work on a cover for me. Probably going to be a novella. I have just submitted a short spin off story as a teaser. No pegging but introduces the main character and there will be a follow up to introduce the second lead. I have another short story idea that's completely unrelated in mind, that I hope to complete by the end of this month. Sadly work got in the way, but now I at least have 5 stories live, two of which are part of another series about two lesbians on a road trip. I intend to keep that going as well.

Sounds good, let me when it's finished Stories can expand, before you know it it wants to be a novel! I've had that happen, what you think is going to be the whole story turns into chapter one lol

Less writing, more audio recordings currently.

Decided to read some of my poems (and update the godawful quality of my audio reading of my little 750 horror story. New apartment has a great little space for recording audio. It's my closet. I have a whole fucking setup for recording audio in my closet...) and upload the results.

A couple are poems I had up before, and I renamed one as I think it fits the poem better.

So, at some point, there will be some clearer audio of me poorly reading bad poetry up. At least I didn't try to sing it!

A Winter Holidays story, which might be described as an anal Odyssey.

A Winter Holidays story, which might be described as a anal Odyssey.

"The fleet of Ithaca - twelve ships and six hundred and thirteen men - left the shores of Ilium (or the shores of the land where Ilium had stood) and sailed westwards for precisely two days, four hours and seven minutes..."

"The fleet of Ithaca - twelve ships and six hundred and thirteen men - left the shores of Ilium (or the shores of the land where Ilium had stood) and sailed westwards for precisely two days, four hours and seven minutes..."

It will be written in Homeric Greek of course.

I can't wait for the part describing the hero driving his stake into Polyphemus' brown eye.

I wanted to make a witty comment about Sirens, but I got distracted by remembering the Red Dwarf episode "Psirens".

"Some kind of writing on the floor. P-S-I-R-E-N-S. 'Psirens.'"
"The poor devil must've scrawled it in his death throes using a combination of his own blood and even his own intestines."
"Who would do that?"
"Someone who badly needed a pen."

I’m getting close to finishing my first novel length (140k words) and realized I only have 3 shorts posted and probably not enough followers to make it float. So I’ve been working on some shorter pieces. I’m 80% done with a mother/son piece about their disappointment in the dating scene and their slow solution to the problem. It will be about 15k words.
I’m 25% of the way through a story about a young woman that is asexual in a family of people with very strong sex drives. She thinks she is broken so asks her mother for help. That doesn’t do it for her, so her mother convinces her father to take her on a weekend getaway. That doesn’t “fix” her but she does enjoy her time with her father. In the end she accepts that she is who she is.
I’m contemplating a story from my novel length about the parents meeting and falling in love. Also in that story one of the characters is an aspiring writer and writes a story about a rancher that falls in love with wolf shape-shifter that he shoots and rescues. I’m thinking about writing that.

I have an erotic horror piece I’d love to write based on a haunted house adventure I wrote, but that has way too many LE violations to even contemplate. (Teenage, torture, non-con sexual bondage, murder, sacrifice, demonic rape… you get the picture)

 

[StillStunned]

Damn Plot Bunny seems to have made its nest in my brain. Its latest whispering: a fantasy take on growing up during the Cold War. The constant shadow of annihilation hanging over you, from before you were born. A massive, formless threat only a few hundred miles away. Huge armies on the march every year as the two sides rattle their sabres.

If only the Plot Bunny had mentioned how to turn this into a story, preferably with hot redheads, I'd be writing right now.

My first thought would be a dark ironic story of falling in love, which hides the angst, but being vaporized in a flash just as the love is first consummated.

Of course, I grew up with that angst. I was shown the Tommy Turtle duck and cover movies in elementary school. "Put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye." If you have never seen them. they are creepily funny.

Make it a story about a soldier deployed to Germany who falls in love with a local girl. Use things like drills and readiness exercises to keep the threat more present. If you really want to up the tension and the sex factor, let the young woman be seduced by a communist spy in an attempt to get to the boyfriend.

Sound interesting

Some of the best sex I've ever written

 

[iwatchus]

I am starting on a sci-fi novel about settling a new planet. The colonists all left post-apocalyptic earth to reach the planet. It's half pioneer days, except FMC (single mother of two) carries plasma rifle with her. This all becomes the backdrop for an enemies to lovers romance. I expect it to end up a short novel (70-80K)

Fantasy, not historical fiction. Partly because I can't be arsed to do the research, but mostly because I want it to be about living with the dread.

The idea actually came to me when I was listening to the audiobook of The Return of the King, when Pippin is in Minas Tirith. He sees the darkness of Mordor on the horizon, and his companion tells him that it's always been there like a threat. This reminded me of what it was like growing up in Europe in the 1980s. I'm sure most of us didn't give it a second thought - it's only been recently when I've looked back and thought, "Damn, how did we get out of beds in the morning?"

Young man who has to serve as a watchtower guard. The neighboring kingdom is ruled by a necromancer. He finishes his 1 month deployment and returns home for a month before he has to go back. His lover is trying to help him see the good instead of the dread.
If you want to make really fucked up, while he’s on his second deployment he gets a Dear John letter. Worse yet, one of the guys rotating in to replace him tells him his girl is in love with his sister.

I don't think I explained the premise very well. It's not about heartbreaking situations in a war zone. It's not about being sent to the front. It's about a whole generation never knowing anything other than living on the front. When the shit hits the fan - when, not if - you know that's it. Everything you know will be a battlefield, unless the powers that be decide to go for complete and instant annihilation.

That would be the background, the mood that permeates everything in the story. I just have to think of a story.

How about a guys camping with his sister and it gets really cold...

 

[AwkwardMD]

Lesbian witchcraft and/or sex magick

 

[SmilingLez]

I just finished my 'Crime and Punishment' prose. I decided to take the story challenge and post independently in non erotic poetry. Definitely hits hard.

 

[StillStunned]

Great idea! And this time it would be Literature, with a capital L, because of the deeper meaning behind it.

"Reflects the author's childhood growing up in Cold War Europe," said the Nobel Committee. "With his sister."

 

[Erozetta]

Train ride that leaves MMC hot and bothered but unfulfilled.

 

[AwkwardlySet]

A very sexual lesbian sort of romance with plenty of build-up and drama. It's gonna be a long one, because of course it is, since I'm the one writing it. But I'm determined not to split it into chapters, and to actually finish it and not leave it open for future chapters.
Feels good to write again.
