What exactly makes a story 'hot'?

[blackbbwlover]

Now, I don't spend a lotta time on the forums board but I figure i have too since I seem to keep getting such trashy story feedback. I do understand that it's more to an erotic story than two people fuckin each other like jackrabbits. I can't really get to teh core of the problem but all I can say is that I write mostly incest stories. So what exactly makes a story a good one?

 

[Jenny_Jackson]

Jack Rabbits? Mmmm Bestiality

 

[Stella_Omega]

either; Writing that connects the reader to the characters emotionally, or;

Bondage.

 

[Bianca_Sommerland]

Bunnies, bondage, whips and chains.

Add a hunky guy with a machine gun and a big boobed chick with tattered clothes. Make them siblings.

Ta da! hot stuff

And don't forget to get the girl in the tattered T shirt wet so her nipples pop out at the reader.

And numbers; 4 bunnies, 2 whips, 7 feet of 100-weight chain.

A 6'2", 240lb guy with an AK47, and a 44DD chick in tattered Versace that she once paid $3.000 for.

1/2-siblings.

Whoot!

Okay, this is pretty blunt for me, but I'm tired.

Look up. No, up on your screen, up there ^. Yeah, see the light blue area? You don't? Well, that's cause you have to back out of the thread, so do that when you're finished here. I guess they call those permanent threads 'stickies'. See the bottom one? The one that says "Author's Hangout Library"?

Good.

Now, go click on that, scroll down to post #12. Read all those listed links. It'll take a while, but you'll probably find it fascinating. I do when I go there.

When you get all those read come back to this thread and ask for more. I know where plenty of help is hidden. After that, you just have to do what we all do and that's practice. Okay, so I mostly have good intentions of practicing, but ... well ....

Good luck, I'm sure you'll find all those helpful. Really. I'm not joking.

Reminds me a bit of Vonnegut's sex scenes.

And whatever you do, she must not be wearing panties! Such tedious things

Darn. Always forget that part.

Your title could be; Auto Erotic

...See the bottom one? The one that says "Author's Hangout Library"?

It's such an uninformative title. I was thinking we might ask that the title be changed, to "The Archive of Informative AH Posts" or something that is even more redundantly descriptive than that....

 

[rgraham666]

Ask a thousand people and you'll get a thousand answers.

Maybe more than that.

For a new age? God, am I such a fucking nerd that 'library' meant something to me? That I assumed it would be a place I could go and get information?

I actually prefer the Writer's Resources link and wish it were easier to get to. That fact combined with my laziness is why I offered up the library sticky. Both will get you started.

Pardon me. I'm getting snippy and rude. Lack of sleep catching up or something ...

Ask us, Rob, an you'll never get a straight answer either

 

[Laurel]

Tension.

 

[cloudy]

Tension.

The kitty-mama has spoken, and she's always right.

 

[rgraham666]

I know that.

 

[Laurel]

The kitty-mama has spoken, and she's always right.

You know, I've been telling that to Manu for years and he still won't believe it.

 

[JAMESBJOHNSON]

If the story provokes SADANGEL or SAFE-BET to whine to LAUREL, its probably pretty hot.

 

[sadangel]

Poor JBJ. I've never complained to Laurel about any story. I don't read the stories that are in certain categories I've complained to Laurel about posts here on the boards that are racist. Usually, yours. So, too bad for you. None of your stories are hot because I've never complained. Oh wait. You don't actually have a story on Lit. Your bad.

To the topic at hand:
I find that the stories where I can connect to the characters are the ones I enjoy. Even when there is little to no sex. One of the very first stories I read at Lit was by Sir Nathan and was VERY long. I read it all the way through, because I connected to the characters straight on. It was hot in it's own way. I find many of rgraham's stories are hot due to connecting to the characters. There are some others that are on my list of hot stories, such as many stories by Dr.M. Each of these writers, who happen to be male, get to the emotional side of the characters. Sometimes, what I find is hot, is the story that teases. Where you know they will get together, but the writer takes time to give them more than just the obligatory sex scene.

Well....he's a man, bless his little heart. I'm sure he means well.

what makes a story hot

Truth
Just enough real life truth to draw someone in. Sex and detials are important, but situations leading up to it, discription, resistance, real emotional problem solving, quick accurate specific moments of truth. Value for the action. A breath of relief from the final seconds. yes it happened how I thought but so real and ... it was like I was there watching or participating....
In my humble opinion
R

10 votes and a score of 4.5 or higher is the easy answer. H

The hard answer takes time and hard work. Practice makes perfect they say, but perfect isn't the same to everyone.

 

[mikey2much]

It's more content than tension in this case

If the story provokes SADANGEL or SAFE-BET to whine to LAUREL, its probably pretty hot.

I read some of the aurhor's stories and in this case I think the problem is content.

Years ago we used to give parties aimed at the FemDom crowd. Each scene would draw the people that were interested in that type of scene.

You tie a good looking young woman into a leather sling and start to tease her until she begs for her tormentor to fuck her, and you will draw a crowd.

If you want to wear a diaper and shit your pants while your wife makes you sit in a giant high chair, the interest will not be as great. We all have our own kinks, some more widely shared than others.

In all honestly this author’s kink is a little different from most of the readers here. That is why he/she gets such trashy comments on the story. The problem is not how she writes, she does pretty well in that regard, but what she is writing about.

I hope that this comment does not seem judgmental, that is not my intention. I am simply trying to give an honest answer to the author’s question.

 

[Jenny_Jackson]

Many words, well chosen, add to the hottness too... words like TALLYWHACKER... BOOBULATIONS... SCHLONG...PORK SWORD...BAZOOKAS... and so on.
