    I do have my limits too, though I suspect those lines will be crossed at some point… Seems that whenever I say “never”, my brain starts mulling on it.

    Well of course never say never. But I have for instance noticed that there are variations on things that I have written about which don’t really appeal to me. I’ve actually looked at it and it didn’t do anything for me. So I can at least say that I probably won’t be writing that.

    While those are the “icks” that need to be warned for, sometimes its good for writers to venture outside their comfort zone on writing.  (Halloween stories are a good spot to do that too… there’s one of mine that I deliberately went for snuff.)

    And yep, stripping would be a form of exhibitionism, as well as general public nudity (which I’ve got a lot of in my stories).

    Yeah, I get trying to leave your comfort zone as a writer. However, I think there’s a benefit to having limits. There are certain things I just won’t write about. Although I have often pushed my own boundaries.

    As an example, I generally didn’t focus on a specific character in my main fandom, but more recently I have, particularly in my recent stories. Now I’m doing similar stuff with it in other fandoms.

    On occasion, I’ll look at the story code list https://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/topic/3690-story-codes/ and use it as a jumping-off point for new warnings I've not explored before.  (Useful when it comes to the Halloween oneshots)

    That’s interesting. I don’t think that stripper is one of the story codes, or performances in general is one. At least from what I can see. I suppose the closest thing is exhibitionism which I think is what I used for my fic so far.

    My imagination’s good enough to imagine some extra dildos, even in a pure M/M/M… orgy.  :smartass:  I had fun with a rogue magical dildo in Hogwarts though, it’d randomly jump student to student.  (Fun to weave that one in.)

    Oh it’s not that I can’t imagine it. Just a personal preference for women to use them.

    Funny enough, there’s actually a movie about a guy who’s cock becomes self aware and moves around on its own to find women.

    I put a strip club into my potter fanfic (explicit version)… Harry gave it a couple of tries too (enjoyed it). 

    But yeah, I try to be careful to avoid repeating myself too much in the writing.  Good to shake it up.  (Usually plots, characters are sufficiently varied that the repeating is less – Halloween/Holiday oneshots can get problematic though.)

    Yeah, and I do to some extent. For this fic that I’m thinking about, it’s a poker thing. Whereas in the one that’s already been posted, someone is sorta manipulated into becoming a stripper.

    Another story that I’m going to write, involves two women trying to keep their night club open by having a special “one night only” event.

    But I do see some similarities since it’s all kinda about performing a strip tease dance. There are a bunch of stories in between though which doesn’t have it.

    We’re AFF.  First word we associate with poker ought to be “strip”… “cards” and “game” are second.  :smartass:

    Lol, obviously. I’ve already written a piece of the story where strip poker wouldn’t work. But they do get into some strip dancing. However, I have a similar story in which strip dancing happens too. So it’s like I’m repeating myself. In fact, I wrote something in another fandom which involved an actual strip club.

    With strip poker, I could see somebody with an ace up their sleeve, opting to strip other garments first (ie, underwear) before they strip their shirt too, could make things interesting.  Of course, acts for chips could add in spiciness to the game.

    That could actually be fun although the way my scene comes about, I don’t know if it would work. But the way I’m doing it, kinda is close to something else I’m working on.

    As it happens, I’ve been writing a story involving poker. In that story, the cards are marked with ink that can only be seen under a blacklight. This is done to prevent people cheating by having a literal ace up their sleeve.

    But you could do something else with the invisible ink. Maybe, at a random point during the came, the lights go out and the black light comes on, revealing that certain cards have something written on them. Maybe its a sexual act they have to perform, or a person they have to perform it with. Or maybe it’s the chips that are marked.

    That’s an interesting idea. I was more thinking in terms of placing them on the body, or inserted in some way. Never considered this as an option.

    Add “Strip” to make ordinary more fun!  Strip solitare, or strip monopoly?  Undoubtedly, with the exposure, more poignant and probing mutual questions, observations, discussions – leading to action.

    True, although I suppose I was more thinking in terms of what can you do with things like poker chips or playing cards that might be fun. Other than what they were designed for, namely the playing of poker.

  19. Funny titles or more accurate titles?

    The way I title anything I write, is with some type of reference to the story or some part of it's content.

    I like to give the reader as many hints as I can, about what my story will entail. I personally believe, that a title which is in some way faithful to the story’s content, will garner you at least, some good grace with a reader, even if, for whatever reason, they choose to avoid reading that story.

    However, I don't see any reason why an accurate title, can't also include a bit of humor.

    Maybe you should try 'playing around with' the two potential titles, just to see if it's possible to add whatever you feel is missing from them.

    But if you absolutely can't bear to change them, take a look at both and then pick the one that 'feels' best to you in that moment; As they say, the first response is usually the correct one.

    That’s part of the issue I’m having with it. The funny title could be a reference to what’s happening in the story. But it’s not something that I necessarily feel good about potentially putting in the story. Not a line I want to cross. However, I do like giving a bit of fun in titles.

    Sending hugs :hug:your direction, titles can be the bane of authors.  (readers should feel lucky it’s not “TBD” all the way through...)

    More seriously, I’d suggest simply using that “new idea title” temporarily until you figure out what you actually want to do.  I typically start with a temporary “working title” until I get a ways into the chapters, when I can refine it later.  Maybe the main character’s name, or some other central theme, or a key word/phrase.  (ie, for Jefferey, it’s the main character.  For Repair Guy, it was a spin on a common trope.)

    Yeah, I put in a temporary title just so I could write down the idea. But I’m still not sure about what the final title is.

    I just can’t seem to stop having ideas for some reason. But I’m running into a bit of a problem.

    I’ve been thinking about the title for this new idea and I’m not sure which way to go. Whether I should go with a kinda funny title or a more accurate title. For context, it centres around a play on the main character’s name. One is a bodily function and the other is a physical action. If I go with the bodily function, people might expect certain things in the story. But if I go with the more accurate title, it won’t necessarily be as funny and people might be less inclined to read it.

    What do you think?
     

  22. What's something that a lover could do during sex that might give someone pause?

    Maybe getting one character getting the other’s name slightly wrong?  Something that’s eerily similar to another’s name?

    That might actually be an option. Part of the gaslighting involves an evil twin pretending to be the good twin. But I’m not sure what other name they could say that wouldn’t cause a problem. Maybe the evil twin insists on being called by their good twin’s name? Which confuses the main character?

    Maybe she rubs an ice cube over her lover's lips before they kiss, and afterward says, "Mmm, I love them cold." This would be especially pause-worthy if she works in a morgue or a funeral home.

    Lol, I could do that with another story, but not the particular one that inspired this post. I usually write fanfic for Buffy, who has a habit of having sex with vampires.
