I would like to find a story about a white wife kidnapped by African tribesmen. She is forced to be the wife of one of the chieftans and adopt to native customs, for example, body paint, piercing, tatoo, native hairstyle, native dress (very naked!), and learn to speak the native tongue. When her husbands comes to rescue, she is native beyond recognition
 
ANother idea that has already been done a few times, but still is open to new interpretations. If you do a search with appropriate keywords, like African and wife and native, you should find them.

I'm sure you only meant one husband!
 
When I saw the title of the thread, I thought it would be a story about North American 'natives' or 'Indians'.

A recent discussion on another thread dealt with the fact that too many interacial stories focus on black/white. A N American native might be a nice new twist.

Touched upon by a few old movies, sometimes American Indian warriors would attack a homestead, take the wife and/or daughters.

From what I understand, this would often happen in the case of children. They wouldn't kill the kids, just take them to raise as their own.

It would be, if the few that I've seen weren't full of horrible stereotypes. I saw one here at Lit a month or so ago that was truly appalling. The native men were all drunks that just couldn't wait to get their hands on a white woman. :rolleyes:

I'm sure that those stereotypes make it easy to craft a story - too damn easy - but the boring truth of the matter is that if, for some strange reason, raiders did bring back a woman, she wasn't a bedmate, or a concubine...she was a slave, made to do the work that a wife didn't want to do. She certainly wouldn't be considered desirable. And, her life was hard, looked down upon by the community as little more than a dirty animal who didn't have the sense to survive or even bathe.

Children were often adopted....women, not so much. One thing that most people forget is that to us, white people were the animals. They didn't know what to eat, or how to survive....and they stunk! Bathing was not a priority to white people at the time. We were much cleaner.

so, maybe you could write one?

I might....if I can ever get out of full procrastination mode. I've got four or five stories that are within sight of the finish line, and just can't be assed to finish them. I don't know what my problem is. *sigh*

Plus, there's something about even having an interracial category that bugs me. Maybe it's because I really don't think in terms of race, but rather "people." It might just be me, but it seems to push people further apart by turning a minute difference in skin color into a huge chasm - it's only a fantasy because of the taboo aspect, perhaps. If we, as a species, weren't so damn concious of skin color, then there would be no taboo aspect, and it probably wouldn't be a fantasy to so many (as it seems to be).

I may be talking in circles. It's had to express my uneasiness about that category.
 
Cloudy,
I totally agree. I was actually a little bored and offended by the poster's idea. Poor little white woman and those darned savage Africans. I assume the writers of these interracial stories must be from Utah where there is less than one percent of a black population. That's the only way I can understand being so mystified by people from another race.

It's everywhere, unfortunately.

If you take a look at a sampling of stories from the interracial category, you'll find stereotypes galore: giant black cocks, submissive asian women, drunk indians, etc. I don't think that people incorporate those stereotypes to be offensive, but they are, nonethelss.

And, before anyone gets a hair up their ass and calls me the PC police (not directed at you, MsJess0125).....I don't give a shit about being politically correct, but walk a mile in my moccasins, and see how it feels to read those stereotypes. It's discouraging, to put the mildest interpretation on it.

That reminds me, I really should follow up on my story idea about the black man driving through a white neighborhood getting kidnapped and gang-reluctant-sexed by a group of white women. :rolleyes:

In fairness, the Cat has an appeal, especially to new writers. Your erotic tension and the conflict to drive the story is built in. Depending upon how you cast the protag, you can draft in inner conflict right over his/her personality via social indoctrination. It's appealing to many authors as a starting point, because the ground work in createing and maintaining erotic tension and conflict are attainable though simple set up and backstory.

Stereotypes are indicitive of many works in the cat, but they are hardly limited to this cat. For a more experienced author, it might prove a fun challenge to write an interrracial story where no stereotypes are used and to make it value neutral. If you did succeed however, you might find the story getting a low overall rating because many who enjoy stories n the cat do expect and enjoy the taboo nature of it.

I think you're exactly right. It seems that the stereotypes are what's exciting to the readers of that category. Without the stereotypes, where is the taboo?

I've never found that category all that interesting, simply because skin color isn't something I pay much attention to. It almost leads me to believe that those who do find those stories to be so titillating are those who may not recognize a stereotype when they read it, but instead take them as reality.
 
Most stories in the category are down right terrible. You have basically the same guy doing the same girl, in a thousand different settings, but with always the same basic plot line. Maybe it's my background, but to me the mixing is the way it always has been (black mom, white dad), so I have a hard time with many of the stories.

However...when done correctly, it can be really good. By this I mean not so much the mixing of races, but the mixing of cultures. Color is what is on the outside, ethnicity is what is in your customs, habits, and beliefs. That offers much more interesting ideas. The mixing of the "ghetto" culture with "white" culture is often done on lit, and often done poorly. But I think the mixing of european society with a native society during the colonial period offers good opportunities, for example. The vikings reached North America a while back, that would be interesting. I would write these, but that would require research, and well...this is a hobby, not a job.
 
T-giving Day

The Turkey offers a great opportunity to insiuate all kinds of things about tieing back the legs and stuffing the bird...but I have never really come up with a good way to get around the fact that most such things involve family gatherings...

Okay, here's an idea. I doubt I will write this, so anybody else feel free to use it. About two years ago my sister brought a friend home with her for T-day from college. Girls family was out of the country, or she couldn't afford the ticket back home to Chicago (we live in the south east), or something like that. I think that something like that offers a way to introduce an outsider. Or you use a pre-existing relationship. When the wife and I were both still on active duty in the military, we had few opportunities to be together. T-day was one, so we spent the entire time trying to sneak off and get our freak on.

Just an idea...and since we are on an inter-racial thread, I'll mention it. We are an inter-racial couple, so feel free to throw that in.
