Could you tell me how to do a Greek, Aurora?

I'm no expert, but I think you do them the same as you would any other nationality, sweetie.

Could you tell me how to do a Greek, Aurora?

The same way you'd do a non-Greek. Greeks are just uncut, 'tis all.

 

[Aurora Black]

I can't believe that a MAJORITY of words in the english language came from Greek. I know that a lot of words did, but words also came from Latin and French and German and Anglo-Saxon and other languages, plus other words have been added from slang and Americanisms.

All right, let me rephrase that. The majority of English's medical, mathematical and scientific words are directly taken from Greek (and Latin, but mostly Greek). Better?

Which is my 101st post (thanks, Danielle), and should be the one on which I introduce my avatar, but - sob - the mean Lit site still won't let me enter it.

Congrats, Roxanne. I am interested in seeing what you choose as an AV. Remember, you are not required to stay with the same one forever.

Meet Roxanne . . .

Oh boy, I'm so excited . . .

Gang, Meet Roxanne (the Avatar).

Roxanne (the Avatar), meet the gang.

(Pssst - Isn't she lovely!)

Hi, Roxanne. If I were Japanese, I would develop the hots for you.

 

[Roxanne Appleby]

Hi, Roxanne. If I were Japanese, I would develop the hots for you.

You don't have to be Japanese, big boy - what say your avatar and my avatar get together and make some beautiful Shamisenongaku* together . . .

(Actually I think she is more French/Mediteranean, but the way the picture shrinks down to fit the format it's hard for you to see.)

Actually, that was a reference to how Japanese are said to find the back of a woman's neck to be a major erogenous area. I don't know if that's true or not, but it looks good to me.

However, a hot threesome among our AV's would be great.

The idea sends chills down the back of my neck, so the Japanese must be correct.

Troll trouble

Trolls striking again.

My poor "Shy Virgin" - so tender, so sweet, innocently reveling in her first-time love with an older woman, and then SQAUSH like a bug under a jackboot, her ratings get trampled down. She recovers, starts working back up the score, then SQUASH again . . .

Maybe I'll make my next story a BDSM about a hard-boiled bull dyke who can chew those trolls up and spit out the spineless husks . . .

A Modest Proposal

A MODEST PROPOSAL​

​

FOR PREVENTING THE AUTHORS OF LITEROTICA FROM BEING A BURDEN TO THEIR READERS OR COUNTRY, AND FOR MAKING THEM BENEFICIAL TO THE PUBLIC
J R Scouries
Shamelessly stolen from Jonathan Swift​

It is a melancholy object to those who walk through this great town or travel in the country, when they see the streets, the roads, and cabin doors, crowded with beggars of the female sex, followed by three, four, or six Literotica authors, all in rags and importuning every passenger for another vote. These mothers, instead of being able to work for their honest livelihood, are forced to employ all their time in strolling to beg sustenance for these helpless writers: who as they grow up either turn thieves for want of work, or leave their dear native country to fight for the Pretender in Iraq, or sell themselves cheaply to Wal-mart or McDonalds.

I think it is agreed by all parties that this prodigious number of writers in the arms, or on the backs, or at the heels of their mothers, and frequently of their fathers, is in the present deplorable state of the kingdom a very great additional grievance; and, therefore, whoever could find out a fair, cheap, and easy method of making these writers sound, useful members of the commonwealth, would deserve so well of the public as to have his statue set up for a preserver of the nation.

There is likewise another great advantage in my scheme, that it will prevent those voluntary abortions, and that horrid practice of women murdering their bastard writers, alas! too frequent among us! sacrificing the poor innocent babes I doubt more to avoid their constant whining than the shame, which would move tears and pity in the most savage and inhuman breast.

I shall now therefore humbly propose my own thoughts, which I hope will not be liable to the least objection.

I have been assured by a very knowing American of my acquaintance in Michigan, that a young healthy author is at a thirty years old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee or a ragout.

I do therefore humbly offer it to public consideration that of the five thousand Literotica authors already alive, one thousand may be reserved for future new stories, whereof only one-fifth part to be males; which is more than we allow to sheep, black cattle or swine; and my reason is, that these authors are seldom the fruits of marriage, a circumstance not much regarded by our savages, therefore one male will be sufficient to serve four females.

That the remaining four thousand may, at once, be offered in the sale to the persons of quality and fortune through the kingdom; always advising the mother to let their writers suck plentifully in the last month, so as to render them plump and fat for a good table. An author will surely make four dishes at an entertainment for friends; and when the family dines alone, the fore or hind quarter will make a reasonable dish, and seasoned with a little pepper or salt will be very good boiled on the fourth day, especially in winter.

Those who are more thrifty (as I must confess the times require) may flay the carcass; the skin of which artificially dressed will make admirable gloves for ladies, and summer boots for fine gentlemen. Butchers we may be assured will not be wanting; although I rather recommend buying the authors alive, and dressing them hot from the knife, as we do roasting pigs.

I think the advantages by the proposal which I have made are obvious and many, as well as of the highest importance. For first, as I have already observed, it would greatly lessen the number of writers at Literotica, with whom we are yearly overrun, being the principal place where Romance writers converge, as well as our most dangerous enemies, the Non-Erotic; and who stay in the Author’s Hangout on purpose with a design to deliver Literotica into the hands of Harlequin Books.

Secondly, Whereas the maintenance of four thousand writers, from thirty years old and upward, cannot be computed at less than twenty thousand dollars a-piece per annum, Literotica’s stock will be thereby increased eighty million dollars per annum, beside the profit of a new dish introduced to the tables of all gentlemen of fortune in the kingdom who have any refinement in taste. And the money will circulate among the remaining Literotica authors, the goods being entirely of our own growth and manufacture.

Thirdly, This food would likewise bring great custom to restaurants; where the vintners will certainly be so prudent as to procure the best receipts for dressing it to perfection, and consequently have their houses frequented by all the fine gentlemen, who justly value themselves upon their knowledge in good eating: and a skilful cook, who understands how to oblige his guests, will contrive to make it as expensive as they please.

Fourthly, This would be a great inducement to authorship. It would increase the care and tenderness of all of us toward our writers, knowing we would be sure of a large settlement for them eventually. We should see an honest emulation among the Literotica readers, which of them could bring the fattest writer to the market. Men would become as fond of their authors as they are now of their mares in foal, their cows in calf, their sows when they are ready to farrow; nor offer to beat or kick them (as is too frequent a practice) for fear of a financial loss.

Many other advantages might be enumerated. For instance, the improvement in the art of making good bacon, so much wanted among us by the great destruction of pigs, too frequent at our tables; which are no way comparable in taste or magnificence to a well-grown, fat, author, which roasted whole will make a considerable figure at a lord mayor's feast or any other public entertainment. But this and many others I omit, being studious of brevity.

I can think of no one objection, that will possibly be raised against this proposal, unless it should be urged, that the number of writers will be thereby much lessened in the Kingdom. This I freely own, and 'twas indeed one principal design in offering it to the world.

I profess, in the sincerity of my heart, that I have not the least personal interest in endeavoring to promote this necessary work, no desire to improve my chances in future contests, having no other motive than the public good of Literotica, by advancing our trade, providing for infants, relieving the poor, and giving some pleasure and amusement to our readers.

Mr. scouries,
I have sat, read and watched your meaningless, vitrolic ramblings for some time now. I cannot fathom why someone who clearly hates everything about the bulletin board 'Authors Hangout" would repeatedly stop to post here. If you do not like the people here, they thoughts, their actions, why do you continue to come?

'Borrowing' from another writer does not lend legitimacy to your nastiness.

I come here to have fun, interact with others and maybe learn something concerning writing erotic stories. Listening to self-important, know-it-alls that cannot do anything but find fault with the very nice people that populate this board is not my idea of fun. I doubt it would be anyones.

I have asked for votes and PC's for my stories. Without some type of feedback, there is not much of a learning experinece is there? I have never asked for '5' votes nor have I every offered or been solicited by anyone for specific votes either. Your accusation that the folks here engaged in vote trading, attempted voting rigging or anything of the sort is highly insulting and baseless. I have never observed or heard rumor of any here beyond some of the other 'posters' who have mysteriously appeared with in the past several weeks.

Yes, I am far over 30 years old. I am probably old enough to be your father, but I do thank GOD that my son is not a hateful, nasty, self-important, self-serving poor excuse for a community member that you clearly are.

One of your equaly nasty, hateful brethern has departed the AH today when he finally got the message that he was unwelcome and unappreciated. I do wish you would either learn some respect, tact and decency or follow his example and leave. Please note that I have no way of knowing your or the others gender so that is a generic he/him.

In short, If we here are so repulsive and nasty to you: LEAVE. I reminds me of idiots complaining about a TV show. If you don't like it, turn it off.

Go AWAY and take your nasty, self-righteous pomposity with you.

Editedfor spelling and typos as usual.

Hey! How did I miss that? I didn't even know we had someone else being nasty and hateful, and I really missed any drama in a departure. I feel so left out.

Holy crap, I just noticed - the vote total dropped from 201 to 156! Oh, my poor Virgin - could it have been not necessarily the trolls who did her in, but a more insidious threat - discerning readers weilding "4s" and "3s"?

I wonder one thing. I wrote a story that I consider my best and I wonder if I hadn't put it into the contest, what it's rating would be.

I could be wrong, but with the higher quality works (like yours) the 'rating' I suspect would be about the same. The major differeces in contests are the number of 'reads' drawn and the number of 'votes'. There might be slight variation, but I believe most would balance in the end result.
The nice thing about a contest is it will get you a higher readership, most especaily if you are not a long-term, well known author. The exposure is much higher than a general posting for a relatively new and/or lesser known author.
for what it's worth IMHO
