Hi ed!

I suck at serious thoughtful questions, but I'm a pro at silly questions.

Written anything lately that you might like me to read? Hint, hint...

i'm afraid i haven't: see my response to eilan. i guess i just haven't been feeling it, so to speak, for a while.

x.) Which section of Lit. do you most enjoy writing in? And why?

 

[VelvetDarkness]

Lots of good answers.

1. What was the last film you saw in the cinema?
2. What will be the next film you see in the cinema?
3. What was the last book you bought?
4. If I put a loaded gun to your head and ordered you to write an erotic short story right now, what would it feature?

kikori queried:

i trust you're asking about story categories? i've only got 5 stories on lit, and they cover only 4 categories: anal, exhibitionist & voyeur, toys & masturbation, and loving wives.

i don't dig on the idea of writing for a specific category when i start writing because my erotica generally is based upon relationships, where the hot action serves as the denoument and (i hope) serves to advance the characters as well as the plot.

sex is not unlike dance: a dancer reveals much of him or her self through how he or she dances. a dancer often has particular moves that he or she likes to employ. i find that's true in the choreography of sex as well.

for those reasons, i can't say i have a favorite. i'm certainly a fan of most categories (although i don't quite grok the appeal of several), but the category isn't usually the impetus behind the writing; the writing is the impetus for selecting a category. to paraphrase whitman, i contain multitudes. :>

1. district 9, which was IMHO the best sci-fi film of the year. absolutely brilliant, IMHO, and (again IMHO) there's no way hollywood would ever come up with such a film.

2. not sure yet. i'm hoping to see inglourious basterds though.

3. last book purchased was a RPG item, the players handbook 2. i'm a very serious geek. :> i recently bought a book on orienteering, but that was a present for a friend.

if you're asking about fiction, we're probably going back quite a ways. i honestly don't know--quite possibly steven brust's sethra lavode, which is the last of his phoenix guards saga, an utterly delightful and enjoyable homage to dumas's three musketeers saga set in a fantasy setting.

i'm a fan of fantasy and sci-fi, although i've not ready much new fiction in either for a very long time now.

4. let's see...lately i've been thinking about the erotic possibilities afforded by glass dildos and temperature play. it's ground i've previously explored, but in the past day or two, it's been rising to prominence in my thinking.

if not that, though, then some form of exploration of a menage a trois and the impact it can have on a relationship. come to think of it, that's actually got more interesting dramatic possibilities to me.

I prefer reading stories that can use the characters not only as the subjects of a sexual act, but people with feelings, thoughts and opinions. I always like having them confronted with some type of emotion they either really enjoy or that they're unsure of. I'd say your second subject would be more interesting to read .

Must just be a difference in plotting out a story; I start with the climax, personally, and work for the events around it. Most of the time, that includes knowing the category the story would land in.

I'll refrain from any generic "Then which is your favorite to read?" questions, though. ^_^; Part of me already thinks asking which was your favorite to write was too boring. >.>

 

[silverwhisper]

mac: oddly enough, my first menage occurred in college as well. :>

kikori quoth:

i've written a few that way, but the key is, at least for me, knowing where the erotic charge is coming from. i guess that for me, i need to know that i'm not just writing for lit, but that i'm writing for me.

[silverwhisper]

i've been trying to find a new subject for the next spotlight. i have several options but am confirming my first choice's availability.

i haven't forgotten, guys--promise! :>

[Quoll]

What are your top five websites and how often do you visit them?

 

[silverwhisper]

let's see...

1. a RPG-oriented site at which i've been posting now for 11 years. i've made a host of very good friends there over the years. that one site, far more than any other, shaped the way in which i interact with people online.

2. here. because after the site above, this place and my interactions here inform my responses to various posts.

3. at one time, my blogging site. i can't say this is true any longer, but in terms of sheer # of hours spent, this place probably rivals lit, even though i'd only been there for 3 years.

4. linkedin. it's a professional networking site that i've been finding helpful in my job search.

5. a blog by a local sports writer who covers my favorite NFL team. :> there's always interesting stuff.

OK, Ed, I didn't read the thread, yet, but I have a burning question and know if I don't get it out now it won't be there later.


How did this trout become your "signature?"

 

[silverwhisper]

good question, and i'm mildly surprised i wasn't asked that yet, exactly. kikori sorta did, but it was tied to the av specifically. the trout-smack and its story however can be foujnd here. :>

[Sarojaede]

stand by me. a lot of people aren't aware that stephen king can be a very, very effective storyteller even when he isn't writing horror. the adaptation of the original short story is brilliant IMHO, and i'll confess i'm a sucker for "coming of age" stories.



ed

What "coming of age" story have you read (or seen, in the case of movies) lately that you think is worth everyone reading/viewing?

 

[silverwhisper]

nice to see you again, SJ!

let's see...i was fondest of the catcher in the rye, as every even mildly disaffected teen was--but it's not a work that i think holds up to future reading as we get older. obviously, i was fond of the body, but it's been a long time since i've read it.

as i think about it however, just because we view a work one way at a certain age, and perhaps less favorably later, it does not mean that it isn't important or even good to read it at that certain age. so i'm tentatively going to stick with the catcher in the rye. who knows, perhaps more opportunity to think on the subject will yield other suspects.

[silverwhisper]

while i'm happy to continue answering questions, i've chosen the next spotlight subject and have created the thread.

ed

 

[Sarojaede]

I have another one for you, while I think of an answer to questions you asked me:


What one thing about you (that you are willing to share) do you think would surprise us the most?

 

[silverwhisper]

let's see, what is there that you guys do know about me? you know i'm generally fairly down to earth and that sorta thing; i love wordplay and that i like a good laugh probably more than the next guy.

OK, 2 things come to mind.

1. i tend to be fairly unobtrusive IRL. i'm capable of standing out if i wish, but as a rule, i'm pretty good at fading into the background. that's the way i like it.

2. this won't come as a surprise to you (or bg, or eilan) but probably will to anyone else still reading...i spend a lot of my time looking for the positive. i want to encourage the positive things, b/c let's face it, there just isn't a lot of it sometimes. the world needs more of it.

but what might not be so clear is that this is a reaction to the fact that i can, from time to time, have a nasty temper and sharp (pronounced "vorpal") tongue. and since i generally have a long fuse, if someone's pushed me to the point that i'm going to abandon civility, well, all that irritation gets stored up to do something.
