Written Sounds

[Guest]

Can you write a sob? How about those grunts and groans of sexual pleasure that are liberally, even lushly sprinkled throughout our work.

"Stellllllllllaaaaaaaa!!!!!"

When Mr. Right pounds Miss RightNow, do you tell us of the noises they make? Or do you make up words like "squishsmack" or"unnghphle"

People noises. Do you use them? Do you write them? What's your opinion on this?

I used such 'sounds' a few times in the first two stories I submitted - a week and a half ago, that is, and still my profile account reads, submissions: zero, and "No approved submissions, yet." Beginning to wonder if they'll ever be listed...

But anyhow, yeah, I'd never attempted to write sex stories before, and found that I had to focus on specific sounds in order to better convey the imagery.

Patience, my freind - first stories always take much longer. As you get more submitted and approved, they will come faster.

I agree - sometimes I feel that a sound adds more of a "Show" feeling rather than a "tell"

You called me?

I've tried and tried to write out sounds, but-- no. I found that when I read them in other people's work they are distracting and false to me-- and when I read through my own older stories I end up editing them out. I think it's one place where it's better to describe; "She sang that wild song of hers, and my body shuddered in reply" "He made a beastish noise and pushed the rest of the way into that tight heat."

Groan, sob, sigh, shout, gasp, cry out, mutter, murmur, grunt... Plenty of words for vocalisations.And this is where adjectives belong. shrill, questioning, strangled, happy, addictive, soundless, breathy...

If I do write a sound I tend to use "normal" sounds; Uh, heh, ungh ooh oh-- you know, simple.

Back - yes, I was thinking of you.

We don't know each other very well, but I love your work.

While I am still at that stage of feeling that (for me) writing them out works, I love your response. Perhaps this is something that changes as you grow as a author.

Sometimes, however, I look at it and go - jeez - that looks reeeeealy stupid.

Schlerrck!... his veined cock was swallowed into her wet folds.

thankee for the compliment!
Yes, it definitly changed for me as an author-- when I first started writing, it was for myself, and I was using it to figure out what I wanted, you know? But I'm a showoff, and have to share my creations and demand praise and once I started writing for readers besides myself, it was more important to me to make my work a little more universal.

What Stella said, too...unless you're going for comedy. A "sploosh!" is kinda funny and good for humor.

Generally, when someone starts to cry I write they "wept/cried/sobbed" not "boo-hoo-hoo!" Just looks silly. Now and then, I do vocalized a grunt, like "Arrgh!" or "Ahhh!" now and then a "CRASH!" or "BANG!" if I need to make an impression. But Stella has the right of it. Spelled out sounds tend to distract rather than add. Let people use their imaginations and fill in the blanks as to what the sound sounds like.

Graphic Novels.

Words/sounds can be made into visuals...

I'm seeing a consensus. And silliness.

I love you guys.

Stella - you are just going to hate me - but - I have never been able to figure out exactly what you are? (Sue me, I'm blonde. *boingyboingy*)

Either way, I'm sure it would be an experience I'd never forget...

Beware the Never Ending Orgasmic Moan -- a common error of novice writers is to try and add enough extra letters to a written sound to "draw it out" and make it mor dramatic. The result usually turns out like babygrrl noticed; "reeeeeeeeeealy stupid"
