My very first story went up today!

Congratulations, and welcome to the weird world of erotica!

My winter holiday contest story Snow Fall in Love posted this morning (along with many other event stories.)

Congrats!

It's a 30K slow burn. No sex what so ever in the first 3/4, then a lot. Very dialog driven. think there's a lot of humor in it as well as tension, but I'll let others judge whether that works or not. I don;t think it's my best story, but I think it's probably my best written story. And I hope one of my better stories.

It is a very sweet love story. I cannot wait to read the final version!

Spectrums went up this morning, and it's currently hovering around 4.57 with ~600 ratings.

There's a trope/subgenre in LW of "Honey, We Need to Talk," wherein the FMC tells her husband (usually) that she's going to cheat on him ahead of time, and it's just going to be this one time and then she'll be faithful, etc. Which, from an RL standpoint, is kind of a ridiculous thing by itself, but then there's a sub-subgenre of this that's "... and I'll sign this contract to prove it."

It's a ludicrous premise, like many of the stories on the site. But one of my favorite things is to take a ludicrous premise, look at the structure, and then try to come up with an at least semi-plausible way that they would work, taking into account character motivations, etc. And I'd long wanted to play with how characters in these stories are coded (the morally rigid, highly perceptive husband who's still somehow blindsided by his wife's sudden, seemingly unfeeling turn to the dark side, and what those depictions usually mean in other media), so this seemed like a perfect place for it.

I can only dream of 600 votes in a few around. My highest number of vote is 257

If someone can pull that off, it would be you!

Did you BTB and if not, how did appease the toxicity of the crowd that read that category?

Sort of? It's not a BTB (or at least I don't think so), but it's also not a reconciliation story, although it is, in a... not exactly redemption, but grace? story.

What you and other authors hee on the forum need to understand is BTB is not needed to be successful. What IS needed is a logical conclusion. The response has to fit with normal

Oh it's definitely a BTB story, but NOT in the way most of the authors here would recognize. The MC refused to accept what his cheating wife wanted to levy upon him. He turned the tables. Yes, he tempered what he did, but he burned her.
I loved the story and hope authors here will read it and understand their ideas of what a good LW are flawed. You wrote a great story. It had a well developed plot, insight and a reasonable resolution. Kudos!!

I've been posting some shorter and weirder stories lately. I need to get back to my usual stuff!! But here's my latest short and weird story: https://www.literotica.com/s/familiar-ghosts

 

[Writer61]

The final four parts of 'The Rise of Laura' that lead up to 'Lockdown, London', which is the story that triggered me to explore Laura's backstory.

The first five parts of 'Adam at Large', which is my third series describing Adam's adventures. I am planning another five or so, but I will probably wait until they are all finished before publishing any.

After 2+ months in pending purgatory, my How To Be An Author on Literotica finally posted. (Thank you @Laurel -- I sent her a note yesterday evening and it was posted this morning)

I had talked about this on a thread of its own two and a half months ago. It is my attempt to answer the multitude of questions that new authors have as they arrive here. Questions and answers were largely gathered from things on the forum.

@iwatchus, thank you for doing that!

Under a pseudonym, I entered a story in a contest at another website. It's a Halloween BNWO story about a group of blacks taking over a Halloween contest. It is receiving votes (but I believe they will be low). They don't show the author's names until after the contest ends. They also don't show the writer the votes until the contest ends.

Not my posting, but this rendition deserves so much recognition

Please check out my latest. Come West, Young Man is a cougar story set in the American west, in 1872.

@Actingup and I just published a new collaborative story overnight, It Just Ain't Going to Happen!

It's a Winter Holidays competition entry, but we (Acting, really, he bullied me into helping) had the bright idea to write a nontraditional Loving Wives story A college-age daughter tries to push her estranged parents back together using trickery, music, weather, and 18th century philosophy!

Last Christmas is now live.

It's in BDSM only because it had to go somewhere, and does start with our protagonist tied to his bed and his wife being nice to him, but shouldn't be too much for non-BDSM readers.

My first full novel, Peta / Sam, was published this morning. It’s a three act, three decade novel where the titular characters struggle through their experiences and rebuild their lives. Read it here: https://www.literotica.com/s/peta-sam

Adam and Eve Find Eden
Two Astronauts Encounter a New Eden.
11/21/2025 in Sci-Fi & Fantasy Stories

PUBLISHEDHOT 4.63

It's a short story in the vein of Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone. A couple of comments say it would make a good movie. I'm happy with those comments.

Opening paragraph:

Major Evylyn Ellison – Eve – brings us in smooth as silk. A perfect dock. Stepping through the ISS hatch, it hits me again – that strange hush you only get up here. I’ve done this once before, but the body doesn’t care; the nerves still light up like a shorted panel – heart too fast, palms damp, and that odd ache behind the ribs that feels like awe and heart-thumping panic trying to fight its way up your throat. 17,000 mph and you don’t hear a damned thing whizzing by, but you sure feel the vertigo as you look a goddamn long way down to home.

My first new (non-collaborative) story in a couple of months just published,

The Opposite of Jealousy
Scout starts a new job, makes a new work wife, and faces temptation on a conference trip

It accidentally ended up being the longest thing I've written, but I'm fairly happy with it! It works fine, I think, as a stand-alone story, but it involves characters from Accessibility Compliance, Cosplay Euphoria, and Vocational Awe (which will officially be collated as a series once it's approved!)

Isn't being romance-pilled great?

First of all, congrats to Z_TheWriter on their first posted story.
iwatchus, i can't i my dreams picture ever writing a 30,000 word story. That's, like, a novel at least. I stand in awe.

Anyway as to my post here. I hit a double whammy from both work and family at the end of 2020 where my brain and my writing muse aren't talking to each other. Last five years I've completed:
2021 - 1 story (880 words, halloween theme)
2022 - 1 story (1633 words, MFM massage theme)
2023 - 1 story (1705 words, massage theme)
2024 - 3 stories (660 words total)
2025 - 1 story (838 words, erotic horror but no sec and the horror is atmospheric, just posted this week)

My WIP file is bulky, and I've got five stories in there sitting over 3000 words that I can't yet resync my brain with to finish. But I've had long writing droughts before, so I'm hopeful next year will be the year.

My latest is Missionaries
I don't know why I don't have the 2021-2023 stories posted, maybe I'll submit them tonight and see if they bounce.
