Hello, I have been reading stories posted to this site for about a year. I must admit, I found the range of subjects fascinating, and the range of quality astounding. Some of the authors who post here are excellent writers with vivid imaginations and superior skills. Others are not quite as good, but who, with a little patience and a great deal of editing,...
Almost every author at some point has trouble writing sex scenes. Sex is such a transcendent experience that it almost defies words. So how are you supposed to write about it then? Fear not, for I have scoured the forums to bring you the wisdom of the ages! And by that I mean I read what Weird Harold said on the subject. Do you really want to do this? The...
In all likelihood most authors posting stories to Literotica are seeking connection and approval from readers here—and there's nothing wrong about that. And a good many are also interested in receiving help in developing their writing style and the popularity of their stories. There's nothing about that either. There also are readers willing to help authors...
I want to tell you what catches my eye and why, so you can incorporate it, if you wish, into your work. Naturally there are genres, fetishes and other topics that fall into the personal taste category that I do not read, and I won't get into; while they have bearing on whether I'll read a story, this piece is intended to provide insight for all writers. Per...
First of all, a huge thank you to Manu and Laurel for such a wonderful site that allows new writers to practice their craft and receive feedback from readers. An even bigger thank you to Crimson Maiden and Lauren Hynde for moderating the Survivor Contest each year. Two-thousand and nine was my first (and last) year to participate. But it has been the most...
As a writer for Literotica, I love getting positive feedback. It sends a little tingle through my whole body and makes me glow. But I'm not foolish enough to think that my writing doesn't have room for improvement. Even the best writers have at least a quarter inch or so where they could improve. I know I have at least a quarter mile to go. One of the best t...
Disclaimer I am writing this short story in response to some feedback and requests I received since publishing 'Thank you god' some time ago. It follows my thoughts; feelings, and writing process, while putting one of my fantasies into words. Though my other stories (which I am yet to write) are works of complete fiction, this short story is the exception....
The events and characters of this story are figments of my imagination and totally fictional. Truly, I have no idea where I get this shit. I need help. * Should someone see themselves as characters in this story, it's either a huge coincidence on my part or guilt and shame on your part. Yet, for those who are truly shameful and guilty, don't despair, oh mi...
This is my entry into the Summer Lovin Contest. Please vote and comment as you see fit. Thank you. I inherited an old hunting cabin from my grandfather. I had been there a few times growing up when he would invite my dad and uncle to go hunting with him. I would hang out in the cabin and play in the woods, going off on my own adventures. I always brought a...
Writing smut, like any other kind of writing, takes a certain amount of skill and knowledge. Some writing skills are not required, such as establishing characters or plot development, because the only thing the dedicated readers of smut care about is graphic sex, and the more detailed it is, the better. Character is less important than the sizes of his cock...
