Writer collaboration

[LovesDancing]

I've written a long story where I tried to give both sides of a man and woman's versions of what happened. The problem is that both sides of the story are written using my own style, the words and sentences the same. Has there been very many stories where one author has created a story from a mans point of view and then submitted it to a female author who uses her own sentence style, her own words to give the woman's version of what happened?

You are thinking way to hard into it. No reader is going to worry about that. They only care that it's well written.

Maybe simply find a female editor who smoothes out your male gaze where it is jarring.
Or you can distinguish the two by their approach to problem-solving. One more analytical, the other more intuitive. Or different word choice "her cunt" vs "my pussy". "my cock" vs "his member".

I've written a few stories where I collaborated with a female author. The Hannah and Melissa series are examples. I think having a female perspective helped the stories immensely. I shared a Google Doc and gave them the freedom to edit by writing. You can find the stories here: https://www.literotica.com/authors/Jay142/works/stories

That’s an interesting idea. It could make for a better story and, with the right collaborators, be a lot of fun.

If you don't find a female collaborator, you might try what worked for me: I wanted to write a story in first person from a female character's perspective. So I imagined a (real life) female friend of mine was telling me the story, and I wrote it as she would have told it. I think it worked pretty well.

Ok this sounds interesting. When you say long story. How long are we talking? I assume you want to someone to look at parts of the story that is already written. Am I right?

A woman's brain is different than a mans. AI robots are not unisexual brainwise. So humans are vastly different, even as writers.

True. But again, the reader doesn't care. They just want a well written story. Trying to capture two different writing styles for the POVs is too much effort for too little return.

And what does AI have to do with this post?

The ones you get have female voices but are programed with male logic. When you question them it's apparent and annoying. They condescend like you are stupid. Ask them stuff. See for yourself.

 

[Andreas_Kreuz]

The readers don't care, because most are male too. Both male writers and readers project their perceptions and assumptions onto a female character. In essence you don't get what a woman would think, but what a man assumes or aspires she should think so that his fantasies come true.

Okay. Fine. Male logic - bad.
Let me ask you again. What does AI have to do with this post? No one brought up the subject but you.

I worked with Jay on the Melissa stories and it worked very well. It was really interesting to see the differences in perspective but also by him giving me editing rights I would simply use the suggest option and he could chose what to use for the story.

Posting it over and over again doesn't make it any more valid. Lots of writers here do stories from both views. If anybody cares, they've never made an issue of it.

Thank you for the reference, Lyssa. It's an honor and humbling.

@EmilyMiller and I have collaborated on several stories, although i dont think we've ever approached it exactly that way.

In fact, in She Wrote, He Wrote, we kinda did the opposite - Emily wrote part 1 from the male POV, and I wrote part 2 from the female POV.

They are not programmed with male logic. Unless you go with the vast majority of human writing that they have stolen and regurgitate was written by men. I suppose that’s quite likely in many ways.

I will say I know you gave me a few tips about the female lead's thoughts and reactions to certain things in my section. But I don't recall any specific directions about "female VS male voice."

I'm guessing that what you have is two narratives each written in first-person voice from each of the two characters' points of view.

What if you wrote in third-person voice instead? Then you wouldn't have to come up with two writing styles, plus it wouldn't raise the question about why both people happen to be telling the same story.

Or you can distinguish the two by their approach to problem-solving. One more analytical, the other more intuitive. Or different word choice "her cunt" vs "my pussy". "my cock" vs "his member".

And women infrequently say ‘tits’ preferring instead to say ‘boobs,’ ‘breasts,’ ‘boobies,’ or even ‘ta-tas.’

 

[gothkellie]

So true! I always write my pussy, my breasts, not the other man's words for them. A man thinks of them as objects. Women take it in a more personal way, and select different wording.
