What are you proudest of as an author of filth?

[gunhilltrain]

I think with what we write we’re always gonna have characters that sit in a moral grey area. The only time that might not be true is if we write a topic under the ROMANCE banner.

If you’re writing in group, I/T, non consent, mind control or Alan (stoopid autocorrect) then we’re going to have characters whose behaviour is questionable, but I say ‘flaws are were the fun is’.

Oh, anal. I've done that once on another site, and it was sort of romantic if you can believe that. Every category has its reader fans and their own quirks, The only incest I've ever done involved a step-relative, but I never finished it. The non-consent I've done is completely staged role plays. My one transgender story surprised me by doing better than any other story I have here. I guess that was romantic too.

Romance readers dislike breakup stories and will tell you to put those in the Non-erotic section for lack of another alternative. When I did that once, it wasn't well-received there either.

My high school had 4,000 students with about 800 in the senior class. It was easy to get lost in place like that. Some New York schools had 6,000 which was unwieldy and they were broken into smaller units in the same building. Not sure that helped much.

No, no bad memories. She had just became irrelevant after that much time.

Some of my memoirs are in the Reviews and Essays section. I should be slowly adding to those as time goes by. One I like is college-oriented.

Good lord, I'm mostly thankful for growing up in smaller towns.
800 students in a single class.

I'm proud of the fact that I don't consider my work to be filth and can't recall any of my readers ever expressing that opinion either.

So if you’d have told me I’d be up to my neck in filth as an author a year ago on the 26 Feb 2022, I’d have laughed in your face, yet here I am, posting my second multi-part sec story and wondering already what the next one will be.

However as I edit HOT AND FUZZY I can’t help but feel a sense of pride in my work, in particular the use of both humour and my skills in building tension within the current story (and even the previous one).

So my question is, what are you proudest of in terms of your work?

Curious to know.

What am I proudest of about my stories? Simple, that they do that for which they were made. I have written stories in several categories and while they may have taboo or romantic or incestual elements in them. No matter what other things are in them, they are all one thing at the base: erotic. They were made, written and submitted with one basic thought, to stir the sexual desire of the reader. I started writing them for just that reason. The very first ones were only shared with my wife and they did what I had designed them to do. We had some really hot sexual encounters after she read a story or two. She encouraged me to post them on the net. I did and found people read and enjoyed them for what they were.

I know what they are and why I write them. I do try to put as much skill as I can into them because the better the story is the easier it is to stir a reader's libido.

So yeah, I am proud of what they do. To put t bluntly sans polish and foo fra, they are fuck stories made to turn a person on sexually and hopefully let them get off.

No, not a single room, assuming that's what you meant. I meant the total numbers of seniors.

I think I'm proudest of the handful of stories where I could take the sex scenes out and still have a good story,

I disagree that we are writing filth - I know you're being tongue-in-cheek, of course. Anyway, you must know what's in mainstream publishing (if anybody still reads fiction) and they are writing anything they want now. They may be keeping pace with us, in fact, if not going beyond.

So the thing were going for, if anything, could be defined as honesty.

By the way, I'm reminded of a Woody Allen line, I forget which movie. The character's girlfriend or whatever asks him, "Do you think sex is dirty?" He replies, "Only if it's done right."

It says volumes about those who consider erotica "filth". I know the OP wasn't using the word in that manner, but there is a whole section of the human population that does see it that way. For those who do describe erotica as filth, it tickles the shit out of me that in private, hidden from everyone else, the majority of them enjoy it.

I've lived 14 lustrums plus 3 years. I've seen death, destruction and just plain evil. Consensual sex among adults is fun, pleasing to the senses and calms the inner being. Why in the hell shouldn't we enjoy it, celebrate it, do it?? Erotica is a celebration of life and living. A couple fucking in the sunlit grass, giggling at what they are doing while satisfying each other's needs. What is filthy about that??

Okay, I'm done ranting.

I agree. My 1st through 6th grade class had 9 kids in it. When I moved up to Junior high School the next year, I was stunned to find 100 or so kids in the 7th grade. A culture shock. In High school there were about 600 kids total. My Senior graduating class was pretty big with 193 students.

Amazingly enough you virtually described the first sex scene in HOT AND FUZZY part 1.

Read my mind.

 

[Imstillfun]

I want to chime in that I consider my writing “pure jack of material”. Yet I’m still proud of it as it seems to meet the desired criteria.

The problem with that is you had better go along with the norms of that little group, or else. That's why, I think, that guy from your school found you. With 812 (I think that was the total) one could slide over to another group if necessary. I probably didn't even meet half of them, based on the yearbook photos.

I think you just grow up better in small towns.
I've been from Norfolk to San Deigo, from Detroit to Port Charlotte and all sorts of places in between here in America.
That doesn't include my foreign living situations.

 

[Imstillfun]

my class was 150 but I was so shy I really didn’t hang out with anyone but my boyfriend who I married right after high school.

I truthfully don't even recall his name.
I don't even remember seeing him in HS.
He didn't introduce himself either.
He just started in and swung first.
By the time his wife helped him up off the ground, she was reminding him of my background.
TBH, I don't even know where my yearbooks are.
Probably in storage.

How do you define a small town? Less than 10,000 population? I guess if I had a choice (which I don't anymore) I'd pick a small city/larger town. Now I'm trying to think of one that would work for me.

Wow, you mean he found where you were living? How did he do that? And the effort it took to do that must have been considerable.

Yes, my husbands was 530.

I think no more than a few thousand is considered a small town.
My current town has a population of just over 1,000 people.

If it were up to me, I'd live in the middle of frakking nowhere.
Closest neighbor at least a mile away.

We were actually at a Pancake Breakfast at our alma mater.
Few people got the whole thing on their cellphones, so I didn't get in trouble.

Figures, that on one of the few occasions I go out and about, something would happen

 

[Seadog777]

That's a lot of people.
I take it y'all went to different schools then?

I'd say a small town is less than 5000. I grew up in a county with a population of around 32,000. There were 3 incorporated towns, one of 2,500, one of 4000 and one of 19,000. I lived aways out of the 19,000 town, so I didn't grow up with the kids who lived in town even though I went to junior/high school with them. When I went from our tiny local (54 kids 1 through 6th grade) grade school to junior high it was a 1 1/2 hour bus ride morning and night. Three hours a day on the bus, until I got old enough to drive and buy a car. So the effects of "small town" living can be different for many. I was part of the 7000 population that lived outside the town populations and we were scattered over the 2671 square miles of the county.

Too late for me; I couldn't do that any more. My closest neighbors? The five other apartments on my floor. Then here are the ones above me on the next floor up, and the ones above them. 1.5 million people in The Bronx, eight million within the city limits, at least 20 million in the metro area, depending on how it's defined.

Anyway, I can't drive any longer.

Do you prefer it that way???
I'm not judge, to each their own. LOL.

It's best for the whole world, for me to never, ever, ever go to New York City.
I know without a shadow of a doubt, I'll be making somebody "pushing up daisies" because my tolerance for dumbasses, just doesn't exist.

I'm sorry that you can't drive.
Medical condition? if I may ask.
