Is this against the rules?

[FrancesScott]

But how big are her breasts ?

Obviously, as we are discussing porn, ginormous.

 

[pink_silk_glove]

The thing is I don’t think the story could work well unless you know what she actually looks like. Not a fan of the whole measurement thing. So I am asking if in the story I supply a link so you can get a visual is that against the rules?

You're a writer. If your story requires a visual, describe it. That's your job. The only stories that have illustrations are children's stories. This site is not for children.

Describe her. You can do it. You're a writer. ; )

 

[Britva415]

This is the challenge facing writers, of course, how to describe somebody well enough in words that the reader forms the right picture in their mind.

I don't even think the description itself is the challenge. I think the challenge is being able to determine what "the right picture" is in the first place, and then write to that. A photo-accurate mental image in the reader's mind is almost certainly not it, and "the right picture" might not even have to be visual at all. To me, "the right picture" means its place in the plot, not instructions a police sketch artist could reproduce.

 

[Five_Inch_Heels]

Yeah she isn’t Sydney Sweeney famous but IMHO way hotter.

Now that's a perfect example. Cute-ish? Sorta, but not much more.

The brunette? Not my cup of tea at all. Nice face, but that's the best I can say. And I prefer brunettes.

 

[Bramblethorn]

I have this idea based on a real life person. She is dropped dead gorgeous and is on several social media platforms. Never naked but you can see her in her bra with those giant tits.

Lit does not allow external links in stories. If it did, we'd probably be deluged by "stories" trying to drum up traffic for people's OnlyFans/etc.

The other risk of basing stories on real people is that real people change. The celeb category here has stories about an actress who was subsequently convicted as a sexual abuser, and others about an actor who subsequently went through gender transition. Neither of those stories are likely to evoke the images that the authors meant for them to invoke.

Probably better to focus on learning how to evoke the image of a really attractive woman through words. It doesn't have to be in terms of measurements.

I fail to see the preoccupation with large mammaries. My IRL experience is they're associated with premature aging into a "matronly" presence.

Sorry, ladies. Yeah, I can be a pig. So forgive me, that's the margarita talking.

MrPixel sez:
“Use Grammarly, go to AI jail. Do not pass GO! Do not collect $200.”

You mean if I quit using Grammarly, I’ll get $200? Cool!

But tiddies!

Also, OP, definitely do NOT link or direct traffic to this person. First, like @Bramblethorn said, you aren't allowed to have inter-site links. Second, I can't imagine anything more unsettling than someone writing a sex story about me and telling their readers to google me. Pretty sure most people aren't appreciative of, "Hey, I found you because of this sex story someone wrote on Lit, and they told me to look you up! You're hot! Nice tits!" Beyond the potential consent issues, it's just icky.

You can base it off this person, fine. Don't use real names, don't link pictures, don't tell people to go find the person it's based on. If you're really, really, really insistent, reach out to this person and ask permission if you absolutely HAVE to write and post this story and there's somehow no other way you're capable of doing this story.

But I think you're more than capable of writing a story based on this person without including identifying information. And personally, for stories featuring humans, I think it's better to leave some details a little fuzzy so people can fill in the blanks with what they find most attractive or what comes to their mind.

As a writer of non-human anthro stories, I'm kinda locked into heavy description because it's not something most people can readily visualize, but my human characters tend to be fairly minimalistic descriptions so the reader can use their imagination as they see fit, not have my vision crammed down their throat.

While I agree with your assertion about writing the visualization, I have to disagree with your comment regarding illustrations.

They are not as common as they once were, but there are still a lot of books out there with illustrations. Fantasy novels are probably the most common, with maps being a big part of it, but illustrations of characters, creatures, and settings are common in them as well. Heck, there's even a category of books called coffee table books that focus heavily on illustrations.

We're talking about short story and novel fiction here. Lit does not support graphic novels. Yea, okay fantasy novels sometimes have illustrations, but I have how many dozen novels on my bookshelf? None of them have illustrations. My copy of Canterbury Tales has no illustrations. None of my Atwoods have any illustrations. Rushdie has no illustrations and his stuff of chock full of magic. I even have a couple of sci-fis and there are no illustrations. I have a handful of pulp paperbacks and no illustrations. Moby Dick, Great Gatsby etc - no illustrations. James Bond pulp, no illustrations. I think that the only fiction title on my shelf with illustration is the Arabian Nights and it doesn't have very many.

Yes, you are correct. Once in a while a novel or a collection of shorts will have some illustrations but you get my point. It's super rare. The last novel that I read that had pictures in it was in the fifth grade.

I notice you used the word "my" a lot.

I was able to find illustrated editions of The Canterbury Tales, Moby Dick, The Great Gatsby, and several James Bond novels. I'll admit that I don't which ones might be children's stories, but Margaret Atwood and Salman Rushdie also have illustrated editions out there.

I know I have quite a few books on my shelves that have illustrations, but I don't have a list of which ones do, and I'm not going through that many books just to make a list. The only ones I know for sure, outside of movie adaptations that include stills from the movies, are The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

Of course, if you want to talk about what Literotica supports, there's always the Illustrated category.

A couple of recently-published examples from my collection: the Seanan McGuire "Home for Wayward Children" books typically have about three full-page illustrations (in a 150-page novella), and Amal el-Mohtar's "The River Has Roots" has 1-2 pages of illustration at the start of each chapter.

 

[pink_silk_glove]

All right then. So which ones of those books skips detailed descriptions directly because the illustrations do the heavy lifting for them?

 

[Five_Inch_Heels]

Why do I think this potential story would be littered with bra and cup sizes?

Just say, "bid breastesez!"

So you wanna write a sex story about an Instagram model / influencer then link to her page and images without her consent, and you don't see a problem with this?

As said, links / pics would be forbidden anyway. And using her real name then encouraging readers to search her out is just... creepy.

Just use her as an inspiration and create your own character.

As to how to describe big tits? You're on an erotic story site, my dude, plenty of examples you can be inspired by.

 

[StillStunned]

Here's a place to start: How do you, as an author, describe breasts?

 

[BeechLeaf]

Or you could just have a character who wasn't her, but mention early on that several people had thought she was strikingly similar to Marilyn Monroe / Sylvester Stallone / whoever. Result: if your reader hadn't heard of this person, they will get the idea to image-search for her, without you having to belabour the point by telling them to.

When I wrote the above, I assumed she was some reasonably well-known person, such that 'looks like Marilyn Monroe' would make sense to many people.

However, learning this, I would not give this advice now: she's not public domain and (we must assume) does not want to be the subject of such attention.

It doesn't even have to be in terms of what she looks like. It could be 100% in terms of what the one who likes her thinks and feels about, how they react to, her appearance, without saying a word about the details.

Once an author can do that, then organically including some information about the visual appearance doesn't have to come out like a police sketch.

 

[live4thebj]

Doesn’t matter. The story isn’t flowing. Trying too hard. Delete.

Sorry to hear that, happens to all of us i suppose.

Take a break from it, come back to it later when you're feeling it.

*yawn* it's been done.

Just kidding. The part I'm kidding about isn't about how this idea has already been done (it has) and therefore must be a boring idea (it's not).

The part I'm serious about is that for a story about a trivially minor media personality to be exciting, the exciting part to a reader is the story, not the identity of the real-life person. I'd argue that an author can make it more exciting by not making it about any real-life person. An archetype, a fictionalized version.

The exception would be a reader who already knows her AND already has an erotic fascination with her. Readers who don't know her still won't know her after looking at the ig page.

It's also clear now that what she looks like isn't the motivation for this author, but who she is is. That is never going to be true for most of the readers.

 

[Britva415]

No, that's just an instruction. It's up to you to go collect.

EXACTLY.

It's one of several reasons I'm not into fan fic stories about celebrities. I'd much rather read a story about a fictional celebrity and have the author introduce me to an interesting and fleshed out fictional character than give me a story that is essentially, "Hey, know that famous hot actress / model? Well here's a story about her fucking someone."
