pippychick reacted to Desiderius Price in Happy endings (literally or figuratively) or tragic endings?
Hmm….Halloween story, where the happy ending is the tragic ending. Not sure how to pull that off in the original universe I tend to write in.

A lot of my stories are primarily erotica, so “happy endings” are par for the course.
Seriously, my endings tend to be predictable. If the story has a tragic storyline, then it probably has a tragic ending. If it’s a happy storyline, happy ending. Although if it’s a Halloween story, all bets are off.

Oh I don’t know about that. There’s a fair amount of innocence, it just usually doesn’t last long on the website.
Fun fact I’m currently in the process of writing about the destruction of innocence. Or some version of it anyway. Though in an ironic way.

Innocence? Not typically found on this website

It’s always the innocent looking ones who are the most devious.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say that. It’s more about the impact that it has on readers. The number of times that people say “I really hope they end up together and have a happy ending” is kinda fun.
So I tend to try and give people a little of what they’re after before taking it away from them.
That’s part of what concerned me about prompted the original question. My story for like the last story was basically one negative turn of events after another. I sorta created an artificial happy ending. But the readers knew it was a false happiness. The main character had turned evil and was kinda “torturing” people even if they didn’t know they were being tortured.
Which means I was “torturing” the audience. Or I thought I was anyway.

Well, I’ll caveat that it’s the characters I’ve grown to love that I’ll do that to. Others… toss ‘em in the woodchipper.

Yes, I have a habit of doing this too. Usually my characters are happy right before things go wrong and destroys their lives.

That can sound like fun. I’ve had tragic endings to stories, but not really nightmarish or having to live forever with suffering. I suppose technically my most recent story has an aspect of this, but through a multiverse perspective.

Yeah, if my main/major character suddenly has a very good/happy day, beware, usually my attempt to “bargain” with their impending tragic demise.

Yes, either via immortality or some kind of endless loop. Or it’s clear that the nightmarish quality of the ending is not static and is going to get measurably worse over time, and there’s nothing the MC can do to stop it. I, um, did that too. (sorry Abbe)

Your writing motto should be… “No orgasm left behind.”
-
pippychick reacted to GeorgeGlass in Multiple orgasms or lots of build up?
I like both, but if the story is mainly meant to be erotic, the writer has to know what they’re doing for buildup to work well. It can be super-sexy if it’s done right and super-dull if it’s done wrong.

I think it depends whether you’re reading straight up porn or erotica, since erotic writing is more character driven, and that tends to be what I want from my fanfiction, when I consume it. In any case it’s extremely rare to see multiple orgasms written well, but that’s just my opinion.
I’m not sure you’re asking the right question. If I’m answering this as a reader, and you’re the author, I’m countering with: how did you hook me into your story? Was it the promise of porn/sexual gratification, or something more? Did you make me curious about the consequences/aftermath or make me want more? Because those things are the job of the author. If you hook me right, I will read it.

Curious how you define “dash of infinity”. As in the horrible ending goes on forever?

pippychick reacted to BronxWench in Multiple orgasms or lots of build up?
I think the build-up versus straight porn might vary depending on fandom, or on the individual author. Me, I like a lot of plot with my sex, so I look for build-up, and an actual storyline when I’m reading. Even when I’m writing, I prefer there to be a plot, and some build-up to any sex.
From the perspective as a woman, she won’t necessarily get tired after the first orgasm, but the next orgasms will cause increasing sensitivity and eventually literal discomfort can occur. So, if she is having sex with multiple partners at the same time, she might not have an orgasm with each partner, or she may very well reach the point of snarling at the hapless partner who triggers that discomfort threshold. Realistically speaking, that is...

Well in the context of the question, I’m mostly speaking of stories that would be posted here on this site. Which would be more close to straight up porn. I haven’t encountered too many stories on this site that have a lot of build up. Usually sex happens in multiple chapters, but often they are different sexual situations.
But I’ve thought about my own writing where a female character is having sex with multiple partners. Partly I was wondering in terms of sexual performance. Most men get really tired after a single orgasm, but it usually takes a while to recover. So is it that way with women? Haven’t had the opportunity to actually test the theory in reality, but it wouldn’t make sense if a woman has the capacity to have multiple orgasms that you would get tired after the first one.

Tragic endings with a hint of nightmare and a dash of infinity.
Wow I’ve written like three of them, just like that. Damn.
