I read "Patient Love" also, and left a comment and sent additional feedback. I also believe it belonged in First Time. Usually, E/C is about the last place a story would go. If it can reasonably be placed in another category, which this one could have, it will be placed there.

hi Sheila,

That happened with my Earth Day story contest. I had them having sex under an apple tree and it was put in exhibitionist/voyeur.

The only reason I made a comment about that was certain people get cranky when stories are put in the wrong category and since you're doing the survivor contest I just wanted to make sure. I mean it's not placed wrong in the Erotic Couplings category I just know people will think it's too romantic for that category.

I'm trying to read more stories however lately I've found that there aren't alot of good stories being posted. I'm picky in that I like erotic couplings and romance - not into weird fetish, group sex, anal, gay male, lesbian sex, non consent... O.k. I guess I'm a lot picky.

I read the apple tree story, and can see why it was put in the E.V category. The sex happened outside, and in a pretty public place. They were on the campus, and it was possible that somebody would happen by at any minute. The only other place was E/C and the management usually tries to avoid that. It could have gone into Romance, but it was a bit too short for that one. Usually, the stories there involve a slow buildup to the climactic moment.

hi Box,

That's interesting you thought it should go into that category. I interpret the E/V category as individuals who get aroused knowing they could get caught/watching others.

In any case it makes sense to try to put stories anywhere by the EC category - it has the most stories and it is sometimes hard to find a specific story.

I always think of E/V as sex in a public place or showing off one's body, either in a public place or to an individual, with a "look but don't touch" limitation, or as being a peeping Tom. The first one I wrote was "I Dine with Izabella" and it was about me and her in a restaurant, sitting on the same side of the table and playing with each other under the tablecloth. I will never think of breadsticks the same way after writing that.

ETA: In the apple tree story, the characters were taking a chance on getting caught.

I'm back... spent 5 days staying with my boyfriend and his parents, along with my kids. For some reason, I didn't feel like I could sign into Literotica on his mother's computer that she let me use. lol

Haven't gotten any writing done, and I go back to work Thursday... auuuggghhhh!

My children go back to school today. I go back tomorrow. I spent July teaching summer school, so my summer really went too fast.

I could have gone on this site on my boyfriend's computer; he knows that I write erotica and that I post here, though I don't think he's read any of my stuff yet. But he has one of those ergonomic keyboards and the thing drove me insane the couple of times I tried to use it. I'm used to a basic, straight keyboard.

Darn it, why can't I write???? lol

It was a lot easier to write when that was my only sexual outlet, lol. Having a boyfriend is wonderful, but it's definitely had an adverse effect on my writing.

High school doesn't work for me writing-wise; even though I know some high school seniors who are 18 or 19, my perception of them is still as children, and I just can't write about them. On the other hand, the narrator in my "Goody Two-Shoes" series is 18 and I have no problem seeing her as an adult, because she's in college. Just one of those weird things about the way my mind works. My students are far from inspiring; their sexual experiences (which we tend to hear more about than we'd like as teachers) are more disturbing than anything.

Maybe once I adjust to being back to work and can wrap my brain around the idea of writing when I get home, as opposed to crashing and vegging, I'll be able to get something done...

Hope your first days went well, Erin

hi Karenna,

Sorry. I didn't mean anything to do with your student's sexual experiences. I meant their every day dramas that can spur an idea. A few of my spoiled whiny bitches are taken from some of the girls in my class.

I have everything set up in my classroom and just need to have confidence that I know what I'm teaching. I am working on a few more stories this weekend. I got burnt out and said I wouldn't stress over finishing so many stories. I guess that helped because I sat down and had 4 ideas come to me.

You know, Erin, I've been kind and generous to you when reading your stories. I've never given you a bad vote, even when many of your stories lacked depth because of their shortened length. Yet, here you are giving me low scores and bashing my story and all my hard work.

That's okay. I'm going to enjoy shaming you in the Survivor Contest.

Please continue writing your 750-1,000 word stories while I post my 30 chapters of 3,000 plus word stories and while you bash all of my stories and publicly declare what a lousy writer that I am. Thank you for your support. You're too kind. Your mother must be proud of the good job she's done in raising you. Bravo!

Only, I won't do that to you. I won't bash your stories nor will I leave a mean and hurtful comment as you enjoy doing. Does it make you feel superior to do that to my stories? Is this what you teach your junior high school children, how to be small and petty?

Are the comments you write to my stories much like the comments that you write on their papers when they pass in their essays?

"You suck and your story sucks, too?"

Wouldn't it be nicer if we encouraged one another as fellow writers by not demeaning our hard work or do you rather just bash the work of others?

Thank you for reading my stories and I shall look forward to reading more of your comments.

 

[BOSTONFICTIONWRITER]

Moreover, if you don't like the story, why would you continue reading it.

Oh, maybe, just to bash it and me. Yeah, that's probably why you read it. Actually, I don't even think that you are reading it. You made a comment that it was filled with dialogue when there isn't very much dialogue at all in the beginning.

Yeah, I don't thnk you are even taking the time to read my story. I think you are just taking the opportunity to bash my story. That's really shitty of you, isn't it?

I sincerely hope that all your friends see you for the friend that you truly are not. When they get on your bad side, they can expect the same treatment from you as you have given me.

"Piece of work!"

I think you have some deep routed emotional issues. Are you sure teaching is the best profession for you? Maybe, you should rethink your career choice. You'd make a good serial killer. What do you think? I think you have the mindset and the temperment for that.

Why not do us both a favor and stay away from me and from my stories and I won't bother you, which I haven't done. You just have to look at the lack of posts that I have been making here on this thread, since my other good friend, George, attacked me after I helped him publish his story. He's another nice guy with some serious emotional issues.

Now, there's a match made in Heaven. Maybe, the both of you should get together, if you haven't already. You both take the prize for how not to behave.

Normally, I disagree with most of what you say in your posts, including this one, but that last suggestion sounds really neato. How about it, Erin?

[Boxlicker101]

That sounds fantastic Boxlicker. I agree we should get together. Maybe have some coffee, talk about politics

Oh.. did you have other suggestions?

Erin

Discussing politics is fine, for a start. After that, we could see what comes up.

The problem is that we are thousands of miles apart, in two different countries.

Box - I like travelling. As long as we're on the same continent I'm fine to visit. If you live somewhere hot and sunny even better. I will just postpone the visit until Ottawa is having a snowstorm. I hate snow and cold.
Now if you live where it is cold, or there are tornadoes or hurricanes then you'll need to come here.

Erin

I live in California's Central Valley, and have done so for four years. During that time, there has been no snow, or any kind of serious storm, and I doubt if the temperature has even gotten down to the freezing point. It does get hot, with temperatures in triple digits, for a good part of the time.

We don't even get earthquakes this far inland. When I lived in the SF Bay Area, I felt many tremors, including Loma Prieta in 1989. That was the one that caused the delay of the Bay Bridge World Series. Except for that, though, earthquakes were not so bad, since people expected them and built to withstand them.

Welcome back Freddie. The place was getting boring without you posting.

I'd like to keep reading your stories because I was reading the 'scouries' thread and you were mentioning how much time and effort you were putting into that story. I just wanted to read it for myself.

I would love for you to read my stories and make a comment. Even if you bash it I'd be fine with it. I keep all comments as long as it's not an anonymous reader.

I would like to point out an error you made. Below is the comment I posted:

"This is the first story of yours that I've read in a while and I don't like it. Nothing happens in the story. There isn't a lot of dialogue. It seems to be more of a rambling of thoughts that are jumbled up in your head that you are putting down on paper."

Now you state "I don't even think that you are reading it. You made a comment that it was filled with dialogue when there isn't very much dialogue at all in the beginning."

Please learn how to read. It just makes you look bad in the end.

Oh... one more thing. You said "I'm going to enjoy shaming you in the Survivor Contest."

Could you explain how you are going to do that? The Survivor contest is a personal challenge for me, similar to NaNoWiMo. I will have successfully completed the contest when I write the number of stories I want to write.

Now maybe it's because I have internal motivation to complete the contest. I am not concerned about the money or other competitors. You seem to only be motivated by external factors which make you look very petty in the end.

You don't care about the money? Ha!

Is that why you e-mailed me begging me to throw the Survivor contest and allow you to win. You said that you needed the money to fix your husband's car.

Listen, just leave me the fuck alone. I don't bother you. I'm done with you and you circle for friends.

You started up this whole thing when you started bashing my stories, yet, again.

You have to understand Erin, I have an army of supporters who like what I write more than they like what you write. Now, I have no control of what any of these fans will do to your stories if you continue to bash mine.

Just go away.

 

[starrkers]

I knew it was too good to last.

Why is it, whenever I have the time and peace to write, the muse is nowhere to be seen?
