Just a typical AH thread - nothing to see here

[Kumquatqueen]

Thats like putting a cardigan over a turtleneck.

Don't diss my winter wardrobe!

 

[Kumquatqueen]

Pimm's just sidles up to you and goes "you alright, love?" and next thing you know it's three in the morning and you're at some dodgy Turkish corner shop trying to buy a kebab.

That summarises rather a lot of summer weekends in my life! And the entirety of May Week as a student...

(May Week is the week in June after your exams, which goes about how you'd expect given final-year students will have just had 4 days of multiple 3-hour exams which are responsible for up to 90% of their entire degree grade.

Kebab shop, not corner shop. The dodgy corner shop is where sold you the marked-up booze even after hours. Corner shops don't sell hot food. Though my local chicken shop does sell booze too, but that's just south London demand for you.)

 

[Kumquatqueen]

It's like a Jeffrey. Just this nice bloke from down the road, isn't he?

Now I was expecting all the current accusations about Brand, but wasn't expecting implications he's a serial killer...

Unfortunately, your promise becomes a hard bar to lift above believability, being only one serial killer I wrote about was a reliable narrator. Come to think about it, was she a reliable narrator? HUmm, well, we'll keep our eyes peeled and our guns ready just in case.

What’s not to like? I’ve invested 15 years of my life in watching Criminal Minds, so know a fair deal when I’m offered it. I promise I’ll leave you all well and alive.

TP, are you stealing tulips again?

 

[MillieDynamite]

Maybe, he's pushing up the tulips. Oh, that's bad, isn't it?

What's better than roses on a piano?

tulips on an organ.

I'll show myself out.

 

[MrPixel]

You just stole my joke, gawdfuckingdammit!

In my dating years I had a platonic girlfriend who 1) played the piano quite well, and 2) told me that joke at dinner, dropping another hint she wanted more than platonic. Another dinner discussion was how she preferred sharing birth control obligations with her partners.

I didn't act on the hints because I was still recovering from an emotionally-draining divorce and wasn't ready for what was apparently on the verge of turning into something serious with a very smart and beautiful lady. Regrets? Yes. But where I am and who I'm with (for 37 years) has been damn good, too.

This is so painful because it's almost exactly like something I experienced, except I actually kissed her and then we just kind of never... kindled.

I still both regret and don't regret it, and I suspect I always will. But I've earned who I am now and I wouldn't want to change me.

Not even for Tess.

 

[MrPixel]

Oh, yeah. My regret is from the moment we were standing at the sink doing the dinner dishes together, and it was everything I could do in my being to not take her right then and there. For us it was glowing embers ready to burst into a consuming conflagration; a kiss would have been explosive. But I knew I was not ready for the aftermath - I'd screwed-up another potential situation a year before, becoming too "clingy" in the implied commitment. She deserved better.

 

[onehitwanda]

She deserved better.

 

[AG31]

I feel this is needed.

Please feel free to post pleasant things and to compliment your fellow Lit inhabitants.

Well, it's a happy happestance that I should see this thread today. I've spent several years trying to drum up conversations about writing erotica. I finally gave the forums here some serious attention and its a <senior moment... not plethora... not landslide.... maybe landslide????> of people who are interested in intelligent discussions. THANK YOU ALL!!

 

[onehitwanda]

Your goal of chasing away a hopeful writer has been achieved.

No. Stop. Please come back.

 

[joy_of_cooking]

I've never seen so much rude, arrogant, politically correct bullshit in my life.

Replies to you in that thread included a domain expert weighing in on the plausibility of your premise and several more experienced authors explaining why your query was unlikely to be received well.

And from a group of supposedly literate people.

I'm genuinely baffled by this line. I've never expected literacy to be mutually exclusive with rudeness, arrogance, or political correctness. Is it possible you meant a different word there?

My parents taught me to never say anything about anyone you would not say to their face.

What milquetoast circles you must travel, if you cannot conceive of anyone saying in person what was written in that thread.

 

[Sparky74]

Your so called "domain expert" was completely wrong on all four counts in her premise. And "several more experienced authors" jumped to unfounded and erroneous conclusions, having not bothered to read a single word of my story.

"Milquetoast circles" ??? Really? Three combat tours in Vietnam. One tour in Central America. Two tours in South America. One tour in North Africa. Two tours in the Middle East. Oh, and I climbed Masada with some IDF friends. Four Purple Hearts.

In the paratroopers, if you spoke to someone in a rude and ugly fashion, you can expect a punch in the face. This venue gives unfortunates like you the freedom to say anything you like, with no recourse. Anonymity is a powerful thing. Too powerful, in your case.

And if some of the people in that thread ever said those things to my face, they would find themselves facing a long recovery in a hospital.

That would include you.

Given how this has worked out, and the inability of Literotica to shut down this thread when I asked them to, I will turn my writing efforts elsewhere and make no more submissions.

Please give us the benefit of your room temperature IQ in the comments section of my existing works.

Thank Goodness and don't let the door hit you on the way out, hopefully his nasty attitude has gone with him and we can get back to fun and normality.

 

[JaxRhapsody]

Your evaluation that this thread is an intelligent discussion could stand a second review.
I have been trying to get Literotica to delete it since an hour after I posted it.
I've never seen so much rude, arrogant, politically correct bullshit in my life.
And from a group of supposedly literate people.
Who seem to be prone to make unfounded and unwarranted judgments.
The warning I received "Well, that is how things are online" does not excuse some of the posters to this thread.
My parents taught me to never say anything about anyone you would not say to their face.
Unfortunately, a lot of posters here never had that lesson growing up.
Your goal of chasing away a hopeful writer has been achieved.
Congratulations, one and all!
AMF!

What the fuck is wrong with you?

 

[Sparky74]

What the fuck is wrong with you?

My thoughts exactly well said.

What quote in the thread was hospitalization worthy? It looked like a bunch of joking around and taking the piss to me. Plus some genuine efforts to engage with your questions. But regarding the jokes, I always thought tough military guys could handle them.

Clearly not

 

[MillieDynamite]

Well, it's his organ if he wants tulips on it, that's fine by me. However, I never play a man's organ, tulips or not.

What's better than roses on a piano?

tulips on an organ.

I'll show myself out.

 

[ElectricBlue]

Good luck, guys, and I truly hope that Literotica fades away into oblivion, all thanks to your efforts.

Twenty years plus and still tracking. Twenty minutes and you're out the door? Meanwhile...

 

[EmilyMiller]

And djrip, EmilyMiller called me a loser because I objectify women. Without having read a single word written by me.

I really, really didn’t. But I seem unable to convince you of this simple verity. I guess I’ll give up trying.

Hope you find what you are looking for elsewhere.

Em

TiestheKnots, I don't usually get into these things but since you have a joined date of 2002 and only have 34 posts, I'm going to try and have a rational discussion with you.

Yesterday morning, you went to the LGBQTIA board and made the same post you a few minutes later made here. You got ignored there. Here you had a lot of replies. Most of them you didn't like. What you don't know is that we get someone looking for a female co-writer every week. Most are looking for a hookup. I'm not say that is you but that's the way you came off.

Get to know the people here before you make assumptions about them. I've been here a long time and I know a lot of them. Some are idiots that like to poke the newbies hard but most are pretty good people and will help if they think you are serious.

As for calling people liars and cowards, you have no idea who you are talking too. Throwing out names and numbers of units and such don't mean a thing. You'd know that if you knew the difference between tattoos and scars.
