I push myself away from writing down the ideas I get until it gets to the point where it's literally physically hurting me to not let these ideas out. That is when I consider an idea ripe to write. Once the idea has been unleashed, I write incessantly, non-stop, without thinking. It is only when the idea begins to tamper out, that all the days and weeks of thoughts begin to run sparse and the highly-detailed points become thin, do I sit back and look through what I had written. It is at this point that I begin to flesh the story out. The world it takes place in, its history, political inclinations, culture and creed. Then I flesh out the main characters in the same way - personal history, social status, base personality traits, defining characteristics (physically, emotionally, personally), opinions and beliefs, things like that. After the main characters comes the secondary characters (those who are not the protagonist but are prominent characters) with the same development, and then finally the support throw-away characters who are given little more than a name, general build, and general personality type. I do not really outline things; I have a basic idea of main events, and discuss them with some confidants to solidify them. I do, however, outline all of the background information - it's not uncommon for me to create appendices with all of the history of people and places and mythos that are around 10 pages long. I am a world-builder. The most enjoyment I get is from building complex, fleshed-out worlds. The next level of enjoyment comes from creating unique characters. Then comes fitting those characters into the world and defining the symbiotic relationship between world and characters, and characters to other characters. The least enjoyable part for me is describing present-tense motion, or the actual linear story. That's the hardest part for me. So do I just sit down and write, without much of a plan? Sort of. I often write without an outline or a draft or anything like that to steer my path, but I sit down with general ideas in my mind that I want to strive toward. Of course, I am also a proponent of the concept of "surrender yourself to your writing," where you effectively take a back seat once the seed has been planted, and allow the story to progress in whichever way it wants to go. I can sit back and sort of trim it when it starts to wander too far off the path I had planned for it, but I give the story plenty of wiggle-room. It is my belief that if you want a story to feel organic, then you have to let it be organic; you have to let it grow and find its own path through the rings and hurdles you, as the author, set up for it. That's my personal belief.

Chapter 2 has been posted. This chapter adds another 16 pages, becoming the largest chapter so far. Cro is a grown man now, having lived his life in isolation with his Aunt Erisa. But that all changes when he comes across two young women getting frisky in the woods he hunts in, and it raises all kinds of questions for Cro about his human male body, and its unexperienced reaction to those two women. There's a lot of self-discovery in this chapter, with a sheltered young man first discovering his sexuality - a sexuality that is shunned and cast as the very definition of evil by creed. This chapter also introduces a new character that will (unfortunately) become a main character, and critical to the plot: Gresil. Why do I say unfortunately? Because Gresil is a sick duck. A very, very sick duck. That's what makes her a perfect tool for her purpose in this previously unknown scheme that is scratched upon though in the very end of this chapter. Be aware that Gresil is single-handedly responsible for a majority of the extreme tags in this story (bondage, abuse, torture, etc). Nothing too intense happens in this chapter, as it ends with introducing her, but be aware that future scenes with her will be more morbid. I would personally like if the character was unnecessary, but my modus operandi for writing is to let myself be a slave to the story, and let it write itself - and the story, as it has come to be, calls for this unfortunate sadomasochistic shapeshifting woman. I'm not one for changing a story simply because I don't like it, and so it has come to this. I have tagged the chapter appropriately, with a special warning regarding the ending scene with Gresil. Be sure to check it out, and don't be afraid to tell me what you think so far! The appendix will be updated in a few days.

Hey all. So, I've been having ideas flying about for a science-fiction story for the past few days, as I worked on my other story, Lesbanon. I finally broke down and decided to actually put the ideas together into a single cohesive universe, and unify them to all work together. The final result is the story Copernicus - 2414 AD. You can read the story here: http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600106306 The official summary of the story is as such: The Copernicus is a frontier research vessel. Six months prior, a sudden order overrode the Admiral's authority with that of spec-ops agent Kira. Her promiscuity and hunger for gangbangs has wound the crew about her finger. But to what end? There are a few pointed differences between this story and my high-fantasy novel that I want to point out, beyond the fact that one is high-fantasy and the other science-fiction: Copernicus is not a satire, deconstruction, or social commentary. Unlike Lesbanon, there is no real social or political drive behind the story. I just really enjoy reading and writing scifi, and I enjoy writing adult-oriented material, so I decided to merge them. Copernicus's story is not as in-depth. Lesbanon focuses on an entire (small) country, full of a fairly-well fleshed-out two thousand years of political history, religious doctrine, and bigotry-enforcing stereotypes, focusing on two opposing empires clashing and catching (and being extorted by) people in the crossfire. Copernicus is focused on a single medium-sized vessel deep in space, with little care to attention being brought to the history of the universe in which it takes place in. The sexual orientation of the stores is very bipolar. Where Lesbanon is focused primarily on girl/girl interactions, Copernicus is very much so a boy/girl story. Like Lesbanon, the relationships vary from very large orgies (as the first scene in each describes; I believe in bursting onto the scene full blast and then throttling it back) to one-on-one boy/girl interactions. Copernicus's conflict will not be generated from warfare or violence. In Lesbanon, the catalysing conflict is two large and opposing empires waging war with one another, with much action and violence and death. Copernicus, in contrast, is based on a weaponless research vessel. There will be conflict, but it will be directed through channels alternate to violence. Copernicus will be far tamer in terms of extremism / fetishes / warnings. Lesbanon has over 40 tags to its name, involving various trigger scenes such as rape and abuse, and various fetishes including futanari / dickgirls, blood-play, genital mutilation and torture, sadomasochism, and very violent bondage. Copernicus, on the other hand, will be far tamer. There will be no rape or (physical) abuse, no futanari or torture or bondage. All in all, it will be far more consensual and enjoyable for everyone throughout - both for the characters involved and for the readers (I hope!). Copernicus does have aliens and tentacles (and alien tentacles), but I will say now that isn't such a big part of the story, until the final scenes. I will be sure to clearly label when such things become relevant, since I know tentacles / aliens aren't for everyone (I personally dislike them, believe it or not; don't ask why they're involved in the story, because the answer is complicated.) Beyond those things, I just want to state that I probably will not make an appendix for Copernicus, because of how simple the story is. I will be posting in this thread whenever I publish a new chapter, same as Lesbanon. As people write reviews for the story, I will respond to them here. If anyone has any comments regarding the story, or anyone wants to discuss it with myself or others, please do not hesitate to post in this thread. This thread IS here for discussion, after all; I'd love to have some! .

Appendix Last updated: May 27 2013, Chapter 1 History Characters & Groups Places & Things Pronunciation Guide

Chapter 1 has been posted! Check the story's link in the archive. New chapter is "Chapter 1", since the chapter first posted was technically the prologue. New chapter adds another 12 pages (MS Word, standard font and spacing) to the existing 8 (so it's half against as long as the prologue). New chapter is chock full of action, and this time, only a small portion of it is sexual! There's character development, and relationships, and drama, and even someone getting slapped who wholly deserves it! Don't miss out on it!

Hey all! So I just found this subforum for authors to promote their stories. I already made a discussion thread that discusses it in fair detail, but I'll post here, too! The more word gets around the better, I always say! First things first: get the formalities out of the way. Author: LordAardvark Title: Lesbanon: A Tale of the Son of Woman Summary: A high-fantasy story set in the fictional country of Lesbanon, which has by way of ancient magic been populated by only women for over a hundred generations, A Tale of the Son of Woman follows the story of a young man named Cro, son of the Princess of one of the ruling factions. Throughout his life, he faces bigotry and persecution for being born a man, and is cast into exile when nothing more than a child. But when his mother's family, the ruling house of the very kingdom that exiled him, falls under threat from an enemy faction - and a previously unknown third force working beneath the surface of this political hellfire - he feels it his duty to do all he can to save them, despite the hatred universally felt for him and his kind.* Feedback: Always appreciated and highly encouraged! Please don't worry about sugarcoating responses - I'm a big boy, and I can take my work being insulted and trivialized for being garbage if it truly is so. Just provide some constructivism, pointing out specific areas that need improvement and suggesting ways to improve it! But please, feel free to review, discuss, comment on, and critique to your heart's content!

URL: http://original.adult-fanfiction.org/story.php?no=600106289 Rating: Whichever rating is higher: AO or XXX. The story is a serious drama, but it is not shy on sexual explicitness - when the story is sexually explicit, it is downright pornographic. Certainly not something to read if you're offended by pornographic depictions of sex (or, for that matter, girl/girl sex in general, since this story contains a whole lot of that). Some of the warnings described above may not be evident in what has been written formally, but trust me when I say that each and every one of those tags will reveal themselves as I progress through the outline of this story. * This summary is the full version that I wanted to put on the Archive posting, but due to the 240-character limit, I could not fit it. The summary on the archive is a shortened version of this summary. I'll leave the discussion thread I made in the Original Writings section for the discussion of this story. I will say, however, that the story is satire - it is an entirely serious drama within its self-contained universe, but the universe that it exists is an absurd exaggeration of tropes that modern mainstream media has spun on the high-fantasy genre. If you're not a fan of political commentary, though, then don't fret too much; I would like to think that the satire and commentary is fairly subtle, and I feel that it will be easily drowned out by the action that unfolds for everyone but those determined to find said commentary. With all of that being said, I hope you all enjoy the story! I highly recommend, if you're even the least-bit interested, that you visit the discussion thread on the story. I will be posting in that thread whenever I write a new chapter, and will hopefully be maintaining discussion with people interested in the story. Beyond that, feel free to read the story, and don't be afraid to post either praise or critique - I happily accept and encourage both! !

Since it appears there is no edit button (and a nice green-named person in the shoutbox who I assume to be a moderator suggested I do this), I want to add one last detail: I have no idea when I am going to be able to write and publish the next chapter of the story. It may be 2 or 3 days, or it may be 2 or 3 months. As a Computer Science undergrad at uni, who has quite a few personal (and some pornographic) side-projects, finding time to dedicate to any one thing is a bit of a shuffle for me. There are infinitely more things that I want to do than I have time to do them in. I hope ya'll understand. .

Hello all! I'll try to be terse here (and assuredly fail miserably at it; terseness and myself simply do not mix; hence why I choose to be a writer! !) when I say that I really don't know what I'm doing with all of this. I'm brand new to the forum, and I have never publicly shared any of my stories - let alone my erotic or pornographic ones - with anyone, really. I'm not new to sharing pornographic creations, but since I don't know how off-topic we're allowed to go, I'm just going to leave it at "you can google my username and see what exactly I mean." This thread is for my original fictional work, Lesbanon, subtitled "A Tale of the Son of Woman." I'm not exactly how the forum and archive work together, so I'll just provide a link directly. You can view the story in the archive by following this link. Looking around, it seems that that authors' replies to reviews need to be done in a thread like this, so I suppose I'll use this thread primarily for that. However, I also want to use this thread to discuss the story itself - its lore, my reasons for making it the way I do, how I am progressing on writing the story, how the story itself is progressing within its universe, things like that. Since I don't have any reviews currently, I suppose I'll open with some information about the story, which either be not evident when reading the story itself (especially in its far-from-finished state), or is just some random "the more you know" information. The title of the story: This one may not be so hard to figure out, especially if you read the first two sentences of the story, or even just the summary. The title - and name of the fictional country it takes place in - is a spin on the term "lesbian." It is actually a portmanteau of the word "lesbian" and the real-world country name of "Lebanon." Why Lebanon? I originally thought of using the name "Lesbos," but seeing as that's an actual place in Greek mythology, thought that'd be a bit too boring. I needed another name that started with an L for the sake of the quasi-pun, and Lebanon was the first thing to come to mind. LESBANON as a deconstruction: Firstly, I want to point out that the story is a deconstruction. What, exactly, is it a deconstruction of, you may ask? It is a deconstruction of the tropes within both sexual media (which is to say porn novels, porn films, porn comics; anything pornographic, really) and the modern interpretation of high fantasy. More specifically, it is a deconstruction of the overt sexualization that mainstream media has bastardized the phrase "high fantasy" with. Look at any modern fantasy MMORPG - TERA Online, for example. While the men are clad to the teeth in heavy steel and spikes in every which way, the women's heaviest armor set is effectively a bikini top that can barely contain breasts that are larger than their heads. I find the entire ordeal entirely distasteful, and more than a bit objectifying. I'm not a hardcore feminist by any means, but I recognize the validity of some women's complaints about such things. Certainly there are some women out there who don't have problems with it, or possibly even find such sexualization empowering in some fashion, but all in all I find that it makes a joke out of the genre as a whole. It's hard to be taken seriously of a fan of high-fantasy, especially high-fantasy RPGs, these days. Dragon Age? "Oh, that game where all you do is have sex?" TERA Online? "Oh, that game where all the women run around half naked?" Vindictus? "Oh, that game where all the women are asian porn stars?" It's very frustrating. With all that being said, why is Lesbanon written the way it is, enforcing those very tropes I just detested? Well, that's simple: I'm a bit of a satirist! ! When I find something that I can't take seriously, that I find makes a joke out of itself, but others can't seem to see the joke like I do, I try to make the joke I see abundantly clear. I take what is already absurd, and stretch it to hyper-absurd means. To really drive the point home of how silly I think it all is, I put the absurdity into an otherwise realistic situation: having sex-crazed lesbians who run around in armor that exposes their breasts and lower bodies fighting to maintain a crashing economy and a society that is starting to fall apart and break into a civil war should be a pretty jarring contrast. . Inspirations for LESBANON: I won't lie when I say I am a huge fan of the Oglaf web-comic series. The basic idea for the story actually comes from the Oglaf episode, "Kronar, Son of Man," which is about manly-man barbarians who "have been freed from the taint of women for generations" and who are able to somehow reproduce in their male-only society, while at the same time (in true Oglaf fashion) being pretty sexually active and experimental. The basis for the story basically flipped the idea Oglaf presented on its head, where it is a woman-only society who has been "freed from the evil of men for generations" and who are able to somehow reproduce in their female-only society, while at the same time being absurdly sexually active and experimental. The main character of the story (who was only introduced as a newborn in the prologue chapter), Cro, derives his name directly from "Kronar", as a less subtle nod to Oglaf for giving me the original idea. I assure you all, though, that is where the similarities end. The same very basic idea, but an otherwise entirely unique idea. Before I wrap this post up, I would like to say that I would really appreciate if you guys would read what I have so far and give me some feedback. I wrote the whole seven or so MSWord pages of the first chapter (prologue) in about 90 minutes' time. I only proofread it once, immediately after, so it is prone to grammatical and semantic errors. Please let me know if you catch any, and I'll work on correcting them as quickly as possible. Again, this is my first time sharing my writing publicly, and I won't deny I am a bit shy about it. I like to consider myself a good writer, but then, I think every aspiring writer likes to think so as well, no matter how crummy their writing may actually be. My only request is that you don't beat around the bush or drown things in sugar: if you think my writing is shit, please just straight-up tell me you think it's shit. I would like it if you offer some constructive criticisms - what you think is shit, why you think it's shit, and suggestions on ways to make it less shit - but if you don't, at least an honest opinion will be respected. I'm a big boy. I can take it. Honest. (I'll only cry a little ). Well, that's about it for now. I told you terseness and I weren't close friends. .
