New Stories on the Way and on Writing in General · 10:41pm May 22nd, 2012
I thought about it the other day, and realize that there may be one person that's actually interested in my God awful stories. I have two stories on the way, one is a slice of life porn between AJ and Pinkie, the other is a BDSM that will possibly have several chapters if people actually like it. I am going to do the other stories I promised two other people, but I haven't really gotten around to it yet, but I promise I will!
Now I have a little something to say on writing in general. I've been slammed in the past about my poor writing skill, I have "a lot to learn," and I "shouldn't even bother." So I wanted to use this blog to respond to that.
First of all, I write for fun. I write porn because it's fun to write. I wrote my first story with the intention of never doing another. Apparently there are a few depraved souls that like the garbage I write, so I decided to do more. I currently write stories that don't have a really thick plot (though some of my characters have a thick plot), though that might change, who knows. I know I have a lot to learn about this stuff, as I just started 3 weeks ago. Hopefully, that will come in time. I also know my grammar blows, but I'm cool with that.
To those that say I shouldn't bother, I have this to say. I don't particularly like art that tries to "engage me intellectually." I will listen to a song, but I don't contemplate on it. I will look at a painting, but I don't enjoy trying to find it's hidden meaning. When I read, I don't want to have to think about the story too much, nor do I want to have to constantly think deeply about it just so I can get it and move on. I read because I want to be entertained, not because I want to think. I recently read a story that wanted me to think to get it. I got so bored with it that I ended up walking away from my computer, picked up a textbook, read said textbook, and found it more fascinating.
At one point in my life, I hated art. Though that came from me knowing a bunch of pretentious, whiney, a hole artists. Most of these people were caught up in how good they thought they were and lost in the "experience" of their work. Though while they did this, I was usually doing fun stuff that only required me to enjoy life and not have to "express my inner self." These arrogant jerks threw the fact that they were "starving artists saving the world" in my face, while I was doing things that actually made me money and were fun.
But I got smarter when it came to stuff like that, I think. I realized that I probably like art, I just don't like art that forces me think. I would rather someone tell me the moral of a story, than have to think about it. Is that simple minded? Probably, but I never claimed to be brilliant.
I read a lot of popular stories on this website and I honestly didn't like them. I won't name the authors and stories I read, but a lot of them bored me to tears. After about the 12th story, I came to the conclusion that I just like my simple smut, and am happy to leave it that way.
Anyway, I'm off topic. The point is, I hate deep art, and writing is certainly in that category. I like simple writing, and I write that way. I have no professional aspirations (there are thousands of more interesting and fun ways to make money, which I can share to those interested) all I want to do is enjoy myself. So to those that say I shouldn't bother, screw you. I don't write toward some goal, I write because it's fun.
I have only found one author on this site that has more than two stories up that I actually like (I know a few that only have one or two up that I do like!). If any poor soul read this all the way through, would you mind telling me your favorite author on this site? I haven't given up hope that there will be another author on here that I enjoy.
Anyway thank you for reading this, maybe this will give you some insight into my warped mind.
Well, I cant tell you who my favorite author is since the story is now gone, but for the most part I like all sorts of stories, I wish I could help you find some you enjoy, but to be honest im easy to please. and I over-think a lot, so there's a big chance that I wouldent interest you most of the time. But hell, f you want some alright stories that kind of explain everything, you could check crowley's work. But oh well. All I can say is, keep being sexy, keep writing what you write, and have fun with it, no matter what others say.

129960 Thanks for the reply Kintra, I really appreciate it. Oh and don't worry, I am working on your cuddlefic (that was you right?
) as we speak. I will certainly try this Crowley character out! I will try to be as sexy as I can, thanks for the support!
130081 Heya Thunder-bolt! It's nice to hear from you again. Who is DJ?
130124 hey man and uh you

"I would rather someone tell me the moral of a story, than have to think about it. Is that simple minded? Probably, but I never claimed to be brilliant." I know right? That's why I can read the same books over multiple times, I always sort of forget it, except for the obvious plot points. It frustrates me when people look too far below the surface of things. I can't remember which book it was, but there was one book that got highly analyzed and popular because of it's deeper meaning. Then the author told everyone at a press conference that he wasn't thinking about any of that at the time, I think the literary community slapped itself pretty hard after that. Take that society.
I couldn't give you a favorite, I never pick favorites, but the thing I like about SleeplessBrony's writing style is that he does the thinking for you, you just have to read it and enjoy it. He doesn't bore you with drama, he has the drama happen. If that makes sense. Look him up if you haven't. There isn't a soul alive who shouldn't read "Romance Reports", whether or not they're in it for the clop. That's just a damn good story.
TAW has stopped being brainless clop and started moving onto more serious things, so I guess not. I'm sure you've already read her though.
If you haven't, you should read Blueshift, his stories are designed to be stupid and entertaining. You don't need to think in them, you just have to laugh at the ridiculousness. Any and all kind of emotion in his stories are simply for the sake of irony; the ironic part being he knows it's bad, he knows it's a joke, and he wants you to know he knows you know and that he doesn't care. Lol, what did I just say.
TwilightClopple is in a grey area. I wouldn't exactly recommend her.
It's funny, because when I think about which authors I like the best, most of them do clop-related stuff. I'm not sure if that's me being perverted, or there's actually something to that. Maybe clop writers are just generally more mature people? Older people, at any rate, who may have more writing experience. Generally, of course. No stereotyping going on here. Just a theory.
130143 Hey DIBP! Hehehe yes, even though I have made the plot joke a million times, it doesn't get old for me.
It frustrates me too when people look far too below the surface. Stories that try to be too deep end up losing a lot of readers because they don't want to think, they want to be entertained. I imagine certain popular authors, who I will not name, would have twice the number of fans they have if they tried writing stories that weren't so "deep" and actually focused on telling a story.
Thank you for all the suggestions man, I appreciate it! I will definately look into those authors! I actually read TwilightClopple, and since I only read one story of hers, I will reserve my opinion on her work. Haha no worries about stereotyping or anything! Your theory might be right!
I'm gonna brown nose for a bit and say Kintra is my favorite currently(don't show him this). His writing is fantastic and it makes me laugh.
Other than that lets see... Primalcorn1 has some pretty good stuff, Cloperella is always fun, and you caught me at a time where I actually like my collab so there you go
also dood,
your writing is fantastic, buck everyone else.
