What I *dislike* in a story

[OKC]

This stuff will make me click back right away...

1. Rape stories. Rape is not sexual, or even erotic. It is vicious and sick.
2. stories that are too short. "Me and my wife went to a party. The next you know, she was..."
3. Silly-sounding words for sex acts or body parts: Quim, arse, bum, peter, meat, sausage, beef curtains, love box, diddle, etc.
4. Characters who say stupid things: "Oh, yes, make me cuuummmmmmm!"

Anyone else want to suggest story dislikes?

Arse and bum are good discriptive words...

My personal dislikes are humiliation, S&M and bestiallity and pedo, for various reasons.

I only have strong feelings over the last one. There is something sick about this. I know that the stories are, on the whole fantasies, but I worry about someone who has one about children.

Before anyone points out, I know that Literotica stories have to be about adults, I am talking on a more general point.

I like it when the author gives me the clues I need to click back right away. I hate getting into a story and then finding it gets too nasty.

It pisses me off when the woman dies. Even if it makes sense in the story it still makes any previous enjoyment like preemtive necrophilia. I want escapisim when I read erotica.

I dislike ordinary. No justification, just my taste.

I dislike slut-based stories, especially when it is not treated as remarkable. If a woman actually is addicted to sex and the situation is examined realistically it could be ok, but generally the slut word removes the womans personality from the story.

ps: 'cuuummmmmmm' may sometimes pass, but 'cuminuminum' is always going too far

I really dislike excessive use of the exclamation mark. And I agree with what has been said regarding the use of fur pie, jugs, rod, meat, etc. for genitalia. I pefer pussy, cunt, cock and so on. They sound truly naughty.

The more descriptive a story is the better. I don't just want to know that a woman spread her legs. I want to know that she lewdly spread her firm, satin-smooth thighs and, moaning softly, drew the panting, gasping young man down into her warm, wet depths.

 

[Tatewaki]

OKC;

I really don't mind any particular word for genitalia, as long as it sounds like the character talking and not the author. If a Brixton tough talks about "Arse and Quim, his woman Splittin' the Whiskers to take a whiz, and going Fanny Banging (not meaning anal, but vaginal sex) then I let it pass. A region's sexual slang is sacrosanct. The same bloke talking about Throbbing Members, Cyprian Sceptres, Women's Private Places and Hot Clefts just leave me feeling annoyed and confused.

It isn't the actual words that bother me. Rather, it is the question of appropriate word choice. I won't back click just because an author talks of quims and rods instead of pussies and cocks. That would be stupid, and short sighted.

The only sexual slang word I have any strong feelings about is the use of the word cunt when describing a womans genitals.

Because it is derogatory? I like it when used by a woman for herself, I guess because if a guy had a vagina they would call it their cunt.

A story has to hit the right balance between being "believable" and being "too ordinary."

I want to read the stuff of your fantasies, lewd stuff, things that you wouldn't dare doing in real life....not your basic "boy meets girl"

It has to be imaginative.

It's pretty hard to make a porn story sound *unique* because there's so many fantasies that have been done so many times.... it has to have a *fresh* outlook, something to surprise me.

Actually, rape is the most sexual thing in existence today. Nothing turns you on more than a good rape story.

I do have something to replace that on your list: unrealistic body parts- ie 12 inch cock, 56f tits

Failure to distinguish what others like from what you like is a danger sign.

I do like a specific kind of non-consent tale, but they are always more like rescues when you examine them.

Adding to my dislikes, is when a stock reason is trotted out to dehumanise a character. eg this woman is a villain, so she deserves to be snuffed in some sexual way. This woman is a bimbo that deserves to be slapped. It is just so obvious that the authors real starting point is I want to slap or I want to snuff.

the thing that I hate the most is a story that goes on and on for ages before any thing actually happens I get bored easily you need to hold my intrest

But, in turn, a story that jumps into a sex scene after two lines is equally as bad! Stories need build up...sexual tension! "Hi. Do you wanna fuck?" is not a quality story line.

And, if we're going to talk pet peeves here, constant typos and misspellings really bug me in stories! I know English is not everyone's first language, but please know it if you have plans to write an erotic story it in! Also, there is such a thing as spell checker and having another person edit your story!!

I have to agree. If I wanted to read a romantic story, I wouldn't come to Lit. LOL

And, like Tiggs said just before this post, a little grammar and spell check never hurts. I don't think people realize how bad grammar and/or spelling can seriously prevent people from understanding what the author is trying to say.

For me, personally, I like the taboo type stories. If I'm reading or watching porn, I'm not very likely to care about a man and wife making love on their boat under the stars... unless the wife gets gang-banged by pirates and enjoys it while the husband is off somewhere else or something. LOL

AHAHAHAHAHAH ahhh you crack me up

 

[RawHumor]

AHAHAHAHAHAH ahhh you crack me up

Thanks... actually, this one was based on a story that I read on here, so it wasn't ALL my imagination... but they weren't pirates, they were just jet skiers. LOL But she DID enjoy it!

The Pirates of Dark Water!

LOL @ the shameless plug... but there was a story that was pretty similar too. Maybe someday I'll take the time to read your SRP... but they're tough to get into unless you start reading them when they're first created - especially the long ones.

[edit]Ahhhh... it IS a short one. I've read it already! LOL Lately, I've lacked the imagination... the creative juices necessary to write any of my own stuff, so I think my own SRP is going to die.[/edit]

FYI...

The Pirates of Dark Water thread has not even started yet. The link was to an OOC thread...

Thanks for the clarification.

Anytime.

-the thin line between not enough detail and too much detail.

-changing of descriptive terms too often. if you say cock, then stick with it. you don't have to come up with a different word every time you mention it. and try not to over use it.

-hidden stuff at the end. you'll be into a really good story and then all of a sudden the girl is shitting on you.

-too much set up. i think two good paragraphs is a substantial amout of time to set up a scene.

-i don't mind stuff that is kinda far-fetched. it is a fantasy after all. but things that are just not believable at all...not to my liking.

-and i personally don't like rape, incest, or things of that nature...but then again i just don't read them.

Story Dislike

I agree with the dislikes that you have already mentioned.
What drives me nutty is someone not rereading what they have written and cheching for words missing from a sentance and other things that happen as the words fly from brain to screen.


in other words ifyour story lokes likethis, I find itveryhard read, and igofind one with a better viual flow:

 

[SpaceToast]

shopping lists

Shopping lists.

"Then I met her roommate Sandy. Sandy had auburn hair, large breasts and a shapely figure. Their other roommate, Peg, walked in; Peg was thin, had blond hair and conical breasts. 'Hello,' she said."

...does not make me at all interested in your fantasy. Attempt to generate a character. Imbue the setting with a feeling, a tone. All stories are fantasies; don't forget that you're writing one, even if it's just to extrude your schoolgirl fetish. A story should be a story, no matter what.

And yes, as a writing tutor, grammar, spelling and !!!!!'s piss me off, too-

Stories that are just explosions of hate. It creeps me out how common they are.
