Writing Exercise: Gloveslaps

[TheEarl]

During my search for a Buffy website to put some of my stories on, I've found a site with an interesting idea - that of the gloveslap challenges.

The idea is that people declare themselves fair game for a gloveslap and then they are challenged to write something completely different to what they normally write, like telling me to write an orgasm scene without mentioning water in any way, or making Svenska write about pussies.

The idea is to broaden your horizons. I thought it'd be an idea if we could start a challenge thing up on here: max wordlength 1000 words. Does anyone want to volunteer themselves to slap or to be slapped?

That's a great idea. You go first. I'll slap you silly.

Pear

(I'll get slapped too but not til next week; I've promised myself to write a snippets story or two by the weekend. And I don't want to be assigned a semiotical erotical thingy.)

 

[Guest]

Me, too!

I wanna slap him, too! This sounds like a great game!


You go, Brunnhilde!


(I love Die Walkure, by the way - one of my favorites!)

 

[Guest]

Sarah, the poor boy will regreat posting this thread. ha ha.

Oh, Walkure was my first Wagner opera, and Gwynneth Jones (of the AV pic) my first Brunnhilde; left the opera house a big blubbering addict of Wagner.

*grins*

Yes - he will regret it - ha ha!


I love Die Walkure. It still makes me teary at the end when he leaves her on the mountain. (Her daddy really did love her).

My dad saw the entire ring cycle performed in Germany in the 1970's. He said when they did Gotterdamerung they actually destroyed the stage. They set fire to it and after Brunnhilde leaps into the fire on her horse they simulated the Rhine River flowing throughout (which put out the flames).

And then at the very last, when everything was gone, the Rhine maidens came out and took back the ring.

Too cool.

 

[Guest]

So Sweet Sarah: I presume you'll be the first slapper. What about having the boy write about a Ring theme?

E.g., sex life of a Rhinemaiden, what the giants really fantasized about Freia, Wotan and Erda's couplings, what really happened after Brunnhilde woke up on that rock with Siegfried, what the valkyries do in between battles...

I love it! To write about the Ring Cycle - he who owns the ring is forever cursed. (Maybe it could be a cock ring???)

You know, I always assumed the Rhinemaidens were lesbians. Naked, writhing in water, beautiful - that's what I always pictured.

And you know that Siegried woke Brunnhilde up with his big cock (after he fought through the fire and before they sang together, of course).

And the Valkyries . . ahh, those lusty warrior maidens. I think they're probably into sex with men more than with women, but . . . well, let's just say they are happy with either sex. Just as long as they have lots and lots of it!

I've never though of Wagnerian Opera as erotica before.

Delicious!

 

[Never]

Well, I'd like to participate but… Seeing as I have no stories for you to base the gloveslap on it would be difficult to "challenge [me] to write something completely different to what normally write."

Funny how that works out.

 

[Guest]

Sarah, Sarah, Sarah: Wagner is nothing if not erotic. The music is seductive to the nth degree; that's why people either love it or hate it. My god, have you ever witnessed "Tristan und Isolde"? The Act II love duet turns me into total pussy. And the Venusberg scene from "Tannhauser"? The Blumenmadchen from "Parsifal", and Kundry the hottest babe in opera? Sheesh!

I'm of the opposite views though, I think the Rhinemaidens love men (recall how they flatter and try to seduce Siegfriend), and the valks are dykes if ever I imagined any. They're warriors, butch and real dick whipping cunts, haha.

Good morning!

Wagnerian music is erotic to me - all of it. More romantic - no, more passionate than Tchaikovsky. His scoring of brass with strings is incredible - almost outrageous - especially for the era in which he composed.

But I haven't seen each opera staged - I am deprived.

The Rhinemaidens? They also kill men, dragging them down to drown. They always seemed to me a bit removed from the flattery they were heaping! (cockteasers, I thought)

Ah, but the Valkyries - well - I'm still chuckling over your "They're warriors, butch and real dick whipping cunts, haha."

I've always pictured a strong warrior male with a warrior maiden (that is an erotic thought for me) but I think I'll have to give you that one.

Lusty babes, and real "dick whipping cunts"!

 

[Chicklet]

Oooh...Count me in on this one? Should we start slapping people silly or should we wait for The Earl to initiate?

 

[Guest]

Count me in, too. I'm in the same position as Never at the moment; you don't have any of my stories to be able to gage what I prefer to write about. I write 'dirty' erotica, and hard-hitting erotic horror. I may be leaving myself wide open here, but I've never written a romantic piece. I'm a romantic person, but just can't bring myself to write about it, I suppose I'm scared of writing cliche ridden drivel.

Well, I NEVER!

Harumph! And WHAT, may I ask, is wrong with cliche ridden drivel?

[Chicklet]

I'd challenge DG to write a sci-fi story...that would be interesting = )

Dear Chickie,
DurtGurl will only administer a glove slap if she can belt Earl with a chain mail gauntlet.
MG, Amanuensis

 

[Chicklet]

well then, i volunteer The Earl for a chain mailing.

 

[TheEarl]

Slap whoever you want silly people. No need to wait for me.

So what's the slap Pear and Sarah? What do you challenge me to do.

If you're interested, the site which I 'borrowed' this idea from is called 'You Got The Stones?' and can be found here: http://www.four-am.com/stones/frame.html

Ah, but DurtGurl has a style and finesse that is completely her own. She's in a completely different league.

 

[TheEarl]

This doesn't have to be limited to people who have written stories before. It's just a challenge to get people thinking and writing something different or even writing something at all.

And on that subject, I'd like to inform Tatelou that she can officially consider herself gloveslapped. Her mission, should she choose to accept it is to write a romance story which is under 1000 words.

It must include:
a small frog named Gilbert
The phrase "Can I call him little Joey?"
and mock-leather driving gloves.

Well, you did leave yourself wide open. Are we going to post the results on this thread, or should we start a new one?

The Earl

 

[jfinn]

Oooo beat me.

*SLAP* Ouch, that smarted a bit.

I accept! This could be fun. The story may well turn out utter crap, but it could give everyone a laugh.

[BThe story may well turn out utter crap, [/B]

Dear Tat,
If it's bad enough, we might consider it an audition for membership in the DurtGurl Group.

[Never]

May I ask who DurtGirl is?

 

[Guest]

Earl, as you take great pride in being English, here's my slap (gentle enough I hope).

Write as a Welshman (with an aversion to sheep) who seduces a female don, his tutor in linguistics, at Oxford. It's your first term, you're your age, you're blond, as fit as can be, and a virgin. You lose your virginity, so to speak, but never get inside her knickers.

I suggest you start a new thread with an explanation of "only gloveslap stories to be posted", and a ref. to this one.

I'll do your bidding next week.

Oooh, thank you! I would feel honoured and privileged.
Going away now, to make it as cheesy and crap as I possibly can.
