Many of my stories take effort and dedication to finish because although the original idea inspired me, getting it written becomes a chore.

But a few I enjoy writing and have no problem finishing.

The one I liked writing the most was:

The other was a set of twelve linked stories for the 2003 NaNoWriMo contest, starting here with Part 01:

My Valentines Day 2021 story was like this. It was originally meant to be for Halloween but it just wouldn’t come together... Not sure it ever did totally.

But as you ask... City of Angels is definitely one of my favourites in termsof writing. Getting into the mind of a character who is an unrepentant predator but also simply desperate to find her missing mate meant it was work, but it was good work.

The hook of using an utterly inappropriate song for a children’s Christmas concert was the draw for A Christmas Miracle on Dewdrop.

I remain surprised how quickly Through the Woods went from idea to submission, three days for 18,000 words.
 
Oh man, for me my White Trash series tops the list...it’s just a raw and gritty stroker with a hint of a plot and was a hoot to write. The last two chapters were inspired by an AH challenge contest.

A couple of other short ones that were fun also stemmed AH games are Dirk Hammer-Private Dick, a long sentence competition and TMA, a time travel excercise. Fun times.

My Marion series was also a fun exercise and experiment.
 
Probably BTB Incorporated, my goofy, "Burn The Bitch" Loving Wives spoof/Mike Hammer Detective parody, because I deliberately wrote it in an over-the-top style that was fun to write. It went fast, too.

It has the worst score of any of my stories, by far, and it drew by far the most savage and obscene comments, including the famous "Here, eat my condom." I think Laurel deleted that one.
 
I've enjoyed writing stories in quite a few different ways, and that makes them hard to compare. Among my recent stories I'd say it was Hurricane Twyla in First Time.

The story was inspired by a dream. I had fun making it a little dream-like and poking fun at my characters.
 
Without a doubt it was Deep Undercover. That story just flowed onto the screen. Writing that one was relaxing, in a way that others were not.
 
All of them or at least most of them. No, it was all of them. If I didn't enjoy writing them, then they wouldn't be out there for people to read. :)

I enjoy completing and posting them, even more so if the story has been a struggle to write. Once posted I have a sense of relief.

But some flowed easily; others took a long time to complete and sometimes seemed interminable.
 
Well, by default I would say the Alexaverse series of stories, being by far the largest and having the most material and characters.

But I will admit to an addiction to writing Time Rider, since it's freaking hilarious (at least for me), and The Great Khan, since I love military history and it's historical fiction.

Hard to pick, gotta admit. The Alexaverse, which currently has four active titles under its umbrella, is the labour of love, no question. Time Rider is the very close second.
 
Probably my Smoking Hot series - partly because I was off my face on codeine when I wrote most of it, partly I enjoyed all the research needed.

Partly because it was never even intended to be a story let alone as long as it got, just experimenting to see if I could write dialogue in two very different voices from my own (an ex-Army lad from Birmingham and a cynical pisshead from NI, both screwed up by the Troubles). And partly because it was the first time I'd experienced totally original characters taking off and doing things I hadn't planned on.

I was expecting complaints about historical or social/language errors, but didn't get any - mostly because not many people read it.

You can write under the influence of codeine? I'm thinking of the Eliza Mary Doyle/Dead South song "Codeine" and of Townes Van Zandt's "Waiting Around to Die." (Both are on YouTube.) This is second-hand knowledge for me, but both suggest that codeine is great at the beginning and results in a crash later. Your results may vary.

One of my favorite stories is Penitentiary Planet, my only foray into science fiction, which was based on the old Twilight Zone episode "The Lonely." The interactions between the convict and the android make it into a comedy, I think. Also, there are details like the entire planet is leased by the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections. (Corey the convict is from Norristown, PA.)

Alicia the android was created by the Zola Corporation, which has its headquarters in Long Island City in Queens, NY.

This.

It takes very little time for me to think of and outline the story, but actually fleshing things out is always a chore. NotWise mentioned in a separate thread that consistency is the key; I think that's very true, and part of the reason that writing is a time-consuming and slow process for me.

I really enjoyed co-writing Wrong Prescription for Mom because the collaboration was a fun experience with a friend.

Otherwise, as cliche as it may seem, the story I most enjoy working on is my serial novel.
 
To quote actor and comedian Steve Martin, who was asked which of his awards meant the most to him:

"The most recent one."
 
An Infernal Folio was in response to a Geek Pride challenge, nudiging me into a new category and a new writing landscape altogether. Sophia Eastern emerged as an intriguing protagonist, and the story was so enjoyable it evolved into a trilogy.

And it took me back to Cambridge, at least for a time.

Well, I have only ever finished two erotic stories. Only one was published and the other deleted. So my one published one is my favorite, but the two I am working on are pretty close to being my favorites as well. So I guess the quote from Steve Martin is pretty accurate in my case.
 
I really like writing stories with crime elements in it. A little bit added or a heavy dose of crime. I'm a huge fan of crime fiction. I think crime and erotica go great together because they both have a dark thrill.
 
Every one.

I enjoyed writing every one of my stories. If I didn’t I wouldn’t have submitted them. I enjoy(ed) reading them and if I didn’t they would never have been submitted because if I don’t enjoy reading them how can I expect anyone else to enjoy them? I’ve begun stories and then lost interest so they went in the bin. Again, if I write a story I’m not interested in how can I expect someone else to maintain interest?

Years ago I wrote a multi-chapter (23 I think) epic that was published here as 'Mastodon' under a now deleted name. The outline came from newspaper reports of the rise and fall of a big city crime boss. I renamed the characters and city, then I filled in the unknown details. Finally I added all of the details about the myriad of sexual -- new newspaper called them perversions, I disagree -- the characters engaged in.

It took quite a bit of time, but it's really just that easy to do.

Being a true-crime sort of drama there was a lot of coarse dialog in the story. Characters made statements about things that didn't happen in the story. Like: "Don't listen to Cory, kid. He ****'s ****p." When the interpretations of rules changed here, some chapters were deleted. So I the rest down. It is published elsewhere with a couple very minor obfuscatory date changes to avoid potential litigation. I donate the royalties to a favorite charity.

So far, my favorite published story that I've done is EARTHSHAKER, which I feel is one of my more original stories and from the get-go, I had a concise idea of how the story would start and end.
 
I loved the time I spent writing my Mary and Alvin series, but trying to keep consistent characterization and narrative continuity through 36 chapters covering sixty years, there is a fair amount of drudgery to it.


Writing The Gold Dollar Girls was pure fun. How could it not be when you have characters that allow you to write dialog like this:

Clover slurped her coffee.

“Jesus, you’re loud,” Roxanne said, “Is that what you sound like when you suck cock?”

“Bring your new boyfriend around and find out,” Clover replied.

Maya laughed. “You guys crack me up with all your back and forth.”

“Well, we ain’t playing,” Clover said, pushing back her egg smeared plate. “We are bitter rivals. I am like the deadly cobra, and she’s the pissy little mongoose.”

“The mongoose usually wins,” Roxanne smirked.

“Bullshit,” Clover snapped, with an expression of exaggerated outrage. “Maybe if a bunch of mongeese ganged up on a cobra…”

“Dumbass, if the mongoose never won, why would they be bitter rivals?”

“The plural of Mongoose is mongooses, not mongeese,” Misty interjected.

“Oh, now I got two know it all bitches to deal with,” Clover muttered.
 
It's hard to pick favourites but two stories I did have a lot of fun writing were 'The PTA Queen Bee & the Teen Rebel' and its sequel.

With a soap opera like plot and set on Long Island in 1988, it is a dark comedy full of awful people - dishonest real estate brokers, adulterers, snobs, bullies, losers, obnoxious teenagers and children and other characters who are just flat out weird - and also includes a haunted house for good measure.
 
Maybe sr71plt's "The Aviators," 6 Lit pages, currently rating 4.91.

I really like putting stories in a historical context, especially one not beaten to death already by other writers. This was one that had everything I like to write about it, including bisexual, which isn't given much of a place here at Literotica. This one played off a book I was reading at the time, and it wrote itself in one long sitting that didn't include much sleep, but did include Yellowtail Shiraz.

I enjoy completing and posting them, even more so if the story has been a struggle to write. Once posted I have a sense of relief.

But some flowed easily; others took a long time to complete and sometimes seemed interminable.

This was the spirit in which I answered this. Every story I’ve posted I stand behind and am proud of. Of course, just like children where we’re not supposed to admit to favourites and issues such as some being easier to raise than others, my stories are like that.

But fortunately, unlike children the ones that I just have NOT been able to get traction on remain buried in my drafts folder.
 
Another story, again by sr71plt, that I really enjoyed writing was “Puttin’ on the Ritz,” a 6 pager, now rating at 4.79. It subsequently was published under my Dirk Hessian, historical series, pen name.

https://www.literotica.com/s/puttin-on-the-ritz

In various research at the time, I was finding famous authors, spies, the Gestapo, and a cross-dressing Hermann Goring, visiting Paris to pilfer artwork, all coming together at the Paris Ritz Hotel. This was my fantasy of all of those things coming together for one young, ambitious gay lad. This was another sit down and spin it out in one go, fortified by Yellowtail Shiraz, gleeful write.
