How can you write about it if you don't like it?

[LadyJeanne]

That is quite tough to do, isn't it?

I've done that a couple of times in the past. Was fun, though, and well worth it!

It's really tough when you don't have experience with the subject matter and are only writing to please that one person. You kinda have to get into their head to do it right. But yes, WELL worth it!!

Anyone for armpits?

The Yahoo Group that I have so far failed to write a story for:

KeralaWomenArmpit4u

Anyone else like to attempt a story for their members? Look at their photo files with folders such as 'Best Armpits', 'Hairy Armpits'.

Someone in the AH must be able to raise some enthusiasm for sexy armpits even if only Kerala Women are required.

I am SO scared to click on that link.

But it's kinda like a toothach, you know it's gonna be painful, but you still poke at it anyway.

Advertising writers do it all the time. I think golf is silly, I'm suspicious of extreme wealth, and I have little liking for Republicans. I sell golf course communities to wealthy Republicans. It pays okay, but I think I'll be relieved when it's over.

I found it when I started linking from one Indian sub-continent adult group to another. I was doing research (good excuse) for one of my 'Indian' stories and I couldn't resist the group's title.

What worries me is the other groups in the Links section. I thought that hairy armpits was a rare enough turn-on but there are sub-sets of hairy armpit lovers as well.

Hmm ... odd question. I was all set to reply, and then it occurred to me to wonder ... does it mean writing about stuff you wouldn't like to happen to you in real life? Or writing about stuff you don't like to read?

I write all the time about stuff that I would never want to happen ... but it's the sort of stuff I love to read.

As for "write what you know," well, good advice as far as it goes, especially if you're John Grisham ... but the more speculative the fiction gets, the less any of us are really in a position to know. I write mainly horror and fantasy

Sometimes, I think you write a better story when you are not automatically turned on my something- then you have to really 'sell it' and it makes it hotter.

People who are really turned on my incest for example sometimes get lazy and say "He was fucking his sister!" thinking that's enough. It turns them on so they are satisfied.

Especially when dealing with any kind of odd fetish, a little resistance to the idea can make a better story. Go ahead and write in the conflict if it fits. That's what I did with 'Forced to Pee.' I had never done golden showers and didn't really want to, but I wanted to write a story about it and see if I could convince my character who didn't want to do it either that it could be hot.

I didn't just want to write a story were people start peeing on each other and you're supposed to assume that it's hot- a story were you either get it ahead of time or you don't. I wanted it to be a story that someone who *wasn't* into golden showers could read and at least appreciate in some way. (However, I realize that few readers who aren't into it will actually read it- you always get a few accidental stragglers)

The story did quite well.

I think that the same could probably apply to Horror. If it's not your thing, you have to try harder and rely less on the cliche's that work for established fans of the category. It gives you an opportunity to hopefully have more crossover appeal while remaining true to the genre.

just my 2 1/2 cents.

I wrote one M/F/F story once for my husband. He had no complaints and would like me to write more of it. I got through it by adding a lot of my knowledge of the characters and humor to it, just like I did the time I wrote a story about a character who'd tortured other people and was trying to deal with it as an undercover agent in an internment camp.

It was very, very DARK humor, mind you, but it kept my spirits up. It also helped to know what was going to happen to her. Once I knew she'd survive and how, it was easier to write. The internment camp story, I mean, not the M/F/F.

I've had a couple of ideas for stories kicking aroung in my little tiny brain for a while. The ideas are for Erotic Horror, which is a genre that does not really intrest me all that much. I have read several stories in that catagory and some were very good, but it's just not my thing. But the plot ideas keep running around in my brain screaming to be let out, so I may have to let them.

I'm thinking of trying to write at least one of them but I am uncertain of what the end result would be. What will probablly happen, will be the skeleton of a story, that will never be acceptably fleshed out because I won't be able to get into it enough to fill in the details. Just another half baked story that will sleep forever on my hard drive.

Does anyone else ever write in genres that really don't interest them? Do you have any trouble with it?

Hi, CD-

If you want to find out about writing stories in categories you don't like, you should check out the Survivor contest, or talk to some of the previous years' participants. I think it's a question every single one of them had to face.
