It’s weird…

Aha, I missed that reference. It sounds so different in my mind, because I've read Hitchhikers guide in my own language. Google, I love you

I read it more as being Blackadder-Esque.

“Yes. Well it started badly, it tailed off a little in the middle & the less said about the end the better!”

Maybe it’s just a British humour thing.

I think I've determined in need to take a break from Grand Ideas and Writing Outside My Box and just write something people can masturbate to.

Haha! Even my idea of a stroker turned out to be a typical EB story, with a café, a bit of angst, and some hot sex. My readers don't seem to mind.

A guy. A girl. A 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass sedan. Not an exciting car, but pretty reliable and there is lots of room inside. Also, it probably has to be set within ten years of the car's manufacturing.

This is what I like about Gunhill's world view. A throwaway comment about a car tells in an instant just how crap some cars were. Or does it mean GunhillWorld only gets to 1982?

Hmm. I have yet to write a straight up lesbian story.

I'm sure I could come up with something straight men would find acceptable to spank it to.

You want to write a lesbian story.....
First step: Stop worrying about men, and write something women would enjoy....

Was saying to a Lit friend earlier that I maybe need a brief writing detox.

There is nothing wrong with a little break now and then. Go live a little. Hit the parties. Talk with friends. Get them to tell you about themselves. There's frequently a nugget for a future story there. And when you are refreshed, get back to it. I average eleven stories a year and that is plenty for me. I can't imagine doing 31 stories in a year.

 

[gunhilltrain]

See, there you go: complicating things.

Except, the story already exists. This couple has just had a rather risky outdoor sexual encounter - during the day. It was all her idea. Then she wants to drive the car upon leaving the location. And yeah, it is in 1977.

I said, "Do you even have a license?"

"Of course I have a license. Besides, it's only a '72 Cutlass."

"Only a '72 Cutlass. Okay, just don't crash it."

She looked a bit miffed, "Don't worry; I'll be careful with your precious Oldsmobile."

If I can write girls with cocks. You can write guys without them surely .

If I recall right, the original is said by Marvin the Paranoid Android after he was left behind by the rest and has “lived” through to The Restaurant at the [temporal, not physical] end of the Universe.

I think by the very end (book 5?) Marvin is meant to be several times older than the Universe because of time travel.

And while elements of H2G2 are quite British, quite London even, I think most of it is [ironically] quite universal. There is not much in it that I had to ask a Brit friend to explain. Ok sure there were some things, but I can’t bring any to mind.

I think I even channeled bits of it in Coleoidphilia and its sequels. Plus Alien, 2001, Star Wars, Stranger Things, and of course Firefly. Oh and Hentaied dot com.

Oh I'm sure I'm knowledgeable enough to manage. I mean, how hard can it be, right?

Just refresh my memory; "Scissoring" is when two women take turns cutting each other's hair, right?

I have one I used for the Pink Orchids Event. Now before people jump on me that it's only a fantasy in a women's mind, she uses her real-life female lover as a character in her plot. There are a number of other stories about them on another site, but I decided only to do a version of this one for Lit - for the moment. The basic idea is that the two are about ages 35 and 42, yet she imagines them both being eighteen around the turn of the century - it's their first sexual encounter of any kind.

Why 1902? Among other things, it's because she likes the clothes they wore back then. And why fantasize about someone you're already having an affair with? I suspect it happens all the time.

Actually, I'm going to 2017 for Geek Pride. One of my first forays into the 21st Century.

The mid-sized General Motors cars of that era were pretty good in terms of reliability. The Chevrolet Vega subcompact, starting in 1971 - now that was a fiasco. This same couple, on an earlier day, are talking about what car he should get, and that is the first time he mentions that someone is offering the Cutlass for sale. He also speculates about a Fiat 124.

She says, "But don't get a Fiat. You know what that stands for: 'Fix It Again Tony.' "

He thinks: That joke had probably been going around ever since Fiats had first been sold in this country.

 

[MrPixel]

Fiat 124s were actually pretty good cars. It was the 600s, 850s and 128s you had to watch out for. (Back then I was "Tony".)

Hard to keep track of these posts. Your comment about "throwaway" lines is in post #29. Then in post #32, I describe how I actually used the Cutlass in a story from a while back. If you have to refer to post numbers, that's a clue that the thread is getting out-of-control.

I knew there had to be somebody knowledgeable about Fiats on here. The 128 was the small one, and the 124 was the slightly larger one, i think? Now somebody is going to bring up Citroën and Peugeot. The former was actually sold here for a while, although I still don't know how to pronounce it.

I thought of getting a 124 at one point. Nice little sports car, almost. I vaguely recall they were quite successful rally cars (but I might be wrong about that).

Someone on here said I'm turning into an old man yelling at clouds, but what does EB stand for again? You already used GM, which I did lose about ninety seconds on. Aren't people on here just making up their own abbreviations? Fine, but I don't always know what they are talking about.

 

[Duleigh]

I have a flock of things I need to write but right now I'm working on a single story that I don't have to write, I'm just loving the chance to romp in a fantasy world

ElectricBlue. I had to add numbers because some bastard already had electricblue no numbers as an account name - but with no stories and no activity, what a waste!

This thread is growing an automobile tentacle. Yes, I think tentacle is a good analogy for what happens on here. The 124 was a two-door sedan, right? I think that's how the guy in the story envisioned it.

Never occurred to me that you were referring to yourself. Yeah, I've seen some near-duplicate usernames on here. Let's start a thread about how Laurel should clean out dead accounts. Then we can debate how much of a grace period we should give such accounts. Four years?

Does the 66 mean anything? The year you were born, like the late lovecraft68?

Yes, a two door, with a long sloped rear window and a short stubby boot. Body by Pinninfarina, I think, good looking in that seventies kind of a way. Good engine too, a high revving 1600cc donk.

A friend had a 124 as her first car. Lovely to drive, but the electrics were diabolical.

The 66 has a meaning left over from another internet forum (completely different subject matter, not smut), but no, it's not age, nor birthyear, nothing like that. It's not two thirds of the devil, either, nor three down from 69.
