I'm out of here

That's fine, but they're not this site, so it's sorta kinda irrelevant to the discussion.

Not quite. I love Lit, but I go elsewhere when I wish. Plenty of options out there, and plenty of stories to go around to serve every site. It's not like Lit is lacking for material; they can barely handle what they're getting. Anyway, what was the number of GTO's most recent post? 120 or something?

 

[gunhilltrain]

Might as well do the research: it seems to be #67. By this point, it he has any sense, he should be having a beer and pondering what we've told him.

This doesn't shock anyone. We all know there are different sites and they have different rules. There's plenty of opportunity to publish different kinds of content at other sites. This site has its rules, and there's just no point in wanting them to be different.

good that you know, maybe I expected too much from these stories sites

They wrote/write horrific, sexually gratifying snuff film equivalents then tack on some non-sense about how she has PROFOUND agency and autonomy and isn't suffering essentially rape (because the authors rarely show the delicate pre-hand negotiation REAL non-con players MUST navigate.

This.

Both the premises of who's doing the reading selection here and that they will take stories in only particular way are false, so no need to discuss them as if they weren't false.

I attempted the near impossible
To write a clean limerick that included the word Nantucket

Well, you're going to have to use Martha's Vineyard then. Although, now I feel like I should challenge myself to come up with something for that place.

Hasn't GTO Racer left a while ago?

A prima donna like that probably just changed his screen name and hung around to see who was weeping for him.

This bunch is not going to waste a lot of tears on someone that can't be bothered to READ THE DIRECTIONS, but the foot stomping, door slamming, whiny exit is always an excuse to gather together as one and sharpen the knives

I'm sure that's true. He did respond back several times with fairly long rants in which he argued basically the same points. Then hes stopped, but his thread keeps marching on. This will be the 163rd post. "He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored."

I'll explain it. It's that old joke that one's dad was really the milkman, and of course mom will never admit it if she can even figure out which guy it was. That was before DNA testing and Jerry Springer, of course. I've definitely heard it used in the U.S.

You NEED to watch Father Ted - Speed 3.

But I’d recommend series 3 intro first to give you a flavour.

Speed 3 is still one of the best sitcom episodes I’ve ever seen.

Oh - I have - I was indoctrinated by friends when in the UK. Now putting two and two together

He's messing with you Emily. Anyway, who knew it was both PC and green? Now just make the trucks electric and get that from renewable sources.

Just thinking about that makes me laugh.

Pat Mustard.
The pet brick

Let’s have another mass
The women on the milk round
The phone call and ending.

All hilarious.

I'm stumped by the last one, the phone call one. Actually, all of them are a bit opaque to me.

“I thought it went really well”



Oh God. Literally in tears thinking of that.

Hopefully soon-to-be new writer, this is exactly what I am worried about. I currently have two stories in progress, same thing, it's non-consent (captured, series of tortures) so no happy ending every little chapter. GTO, if you do go, where else do you intend to write at?

I think GTO might be long gone (from this forum, anyway), but if your chapter by chapter approach doesn't meet the Lit policy requirement, you might want to be prepared for a knock back. To avoid that, you might need to think about combining chapters so the full context is there, right from the start.

Not cool, man. Anyone would think this happened over 30 years ago.

Now where’s that report button? (In all seriousness it’s a tragedy that could have easily been avoided by listening to experts and respecting their knowledge).

The Titanic tragedy could have been easily avoided if the interior bulkheads had a gone up higher, if there had been enough lifeboats (that was considered during construction but rejected), if the Californian had a 24-hour wireless operator, if the ship had hit the berg head-on instead of scraping the starboard side, if the engines hadn't been turned off just before the collision so the rudder could have turned more, if it had steel rivets instead of iron ones in the forward part of the hull, if the ice warnings had reached the captain instead of being lost by the wireless operator, etc. 1,500 deaths versus seven.

It wasn't that the lookouts were distracted by Jack and Rose making out. That was fiction.

Let me guess, you've never rented a VHS either...

Post #170 will tell her everything she needs to know about milkmen. VHS, not so much.

I nominate this thread as one of the most convoluted ever. O-rings on the Challenger? The Titanic? (My fault on the latter.)

This horse has been beating beyond death and into pulp. Blame the authors who came before you. They wrote/write horrific, sexually gratifying snuff film equivalents then tack on some non-sense about how she has PROFOUND agency and autonomy and isn't suffering essentially rape (because the authors rarely show the delicate pre-hand negotiation REAL non-con players MUST navigate. Why? Because that would give the rape gratification game away now wouldn't it?

Sorry, I missed responding to this a while ago. So I know absolutely nothing about "the delicate pre-hand negotiation REAL non-con players MUST navigate." When I just make it up, it seems to turn into comedy; the woman will have exacting specifications, and the skeptical man will go along to please her.

One of these ladies wants him to pull a real switchblade knife on her, and she knows someone who can lend them one.

He says, "So a plastic knife from a toy store is just not good enough, I guess."

She replies, "No, it seems more authentic this way."
