Using the same tropes/kinks/scenarios in your stories.

[tenyari]

Hi all,

I just submitted a new story last night and it had me thinking about how I often go back to the same well of tropes, kinks, and scenarios in my stories. I often have women in tiny bikinis tanning, a shower scene, a dancing scene, and latex outfits. I guess it makes sense since I find those things to be a turn on.

For your readers there is great benefit in this. If I set myself to follow a given author it's because I'm hoping for more of that kind of story. If they bounce around a lot in terms of erotic genres I'm less likely to follow them.

My stuff is also has some very specific themes. The protagonist is going to be female and living nude for one reason or another - whether by choice or situation - and liking this fact. She's almost certainly new to the situation and was not a nudist / naturist / asexual sort - so for her there is a sexual thrill that does not diminish. And for some reason, the environment around her ends up accepting this or does from the start.

From there I might do that in a fantasy, modern world, sci-fi, or other genre.

The stories will be long form. 20k words is an intro section for me. In past I've had single chapters out word count published novels. My sex scenes are not 'mechanically detailed' because describing 'insert tab A into slot B and inject fluid' is not all that interesting to me, so instead I usually have some side plot or comedy routine going on during the sex scene.

Ken Follett, is that you?

Every single one of his novels has cunnilingus in it.

I'm not against cunnilingus, he's just weird how consistent he is about it.

It's likely that Follett himself likes it, or he wouldn't mention it so many times. His wife seems pleased.

All of my stories are Femdom oriented. That's a virtue not a bug as far as I'm concerned. What I find more interesting are repeated quips or motifs that I have.

Examples:
- ...like the x she/he was
- it looked like it was about to burst (thongs, shirts, etc)

Someone who reads me could probably remember more.

After you've gotten across the 1,000-story threshold, it becomes a bit too late to worry about reusing tropes/kinks/scenarios. The best you can do is not to use all three from an earlier story in a later story.

Ehhh... not really... unless big titties count?

I'm pretty new, but I'm purposely hanging out in the same sexual territory to give readers a consistent brand.

Even so, I find unplanned things repeating. I do wonder what it says about me, but I also think about how stories must fork multiple times. If you didn't get to everything in this story, then keep exploring.

Interesting thread. I'm always happy to talk about my, apparently unique, experience. I only write stories to record fantasies. And at age 78, the fantasies are few and far between (see my signature to find out more). So the answer is yes, indeedy, I re-use tropes. All of my stories are about male surrender.

Is there anyone else out there who writes in this way?

I am just laughing because your multiple posts about tech support exactly match "And at age 78, the fantasies are few and far between."

I love anything that is on brand.
