What do you think?

[Pandora85]

Ideas roll around in my head a lot and most of them are long drawn out ideas that once I get writing its hard to just write the sex. When I read something I usually want a good story behind it too, just wandering what everyone else thinks, cuz the story I'm writing is nothing close to short. it's more like 26 pages in comic Sans MS 10 font and it's only just started from what I see in my head.
so what do you think, should i just write the sex or write the cool ass long story that i see?

write what you want to write, the reader will tell you if you have got it right. You won'y please all the people who read it, but you should always write what is in your head, not what you might think the reader will like.

If it is a great story, it will not feel like a long one

A lot of us prefer a good story line with a sexual accessory. We like to engage our readers in the characters and action. What you might want to do is read what you've written and edit it down. I know writers who can find 1000 unnecessary words when they have to.

I like a writer that can pull me in and leave me wanting more. There are many, many good writers on this site and thusands of good stories but only a few can hold my attention for more than a few instalments of a story.

If you can write 26 pages about the sex thought in your mind....that means you have enough passion in your writing.People will love anything that you write with passion,coz passion will ignite their minds with the sexual thoughts you had while writing it.

I agree that you should write for yourself, but, as I've mentioned in other threads, I think you should write for the reader in you, not for the writer in you.

That said, my personal preference is a moderate buildup with lots of character development. Make us fall in love with the characters. Draw us in so that we disappear into the story and become the characters. Then when the sex happens, it feels more like being right there in the action than peeking in a bedroom window.

Just found it funny the part of your post I copied above when your location is reported as "in the bushes outside your bedroom window".

Of course I prefer to be in the middle of the action. It's not my fault if people are more likely to call the cops on me than invite me in.

Er... not that I actually hide in the bushes outside people's bedroom windows. I was just kidding about that part. Yeah. Just kidding.

She's probably talking about me. ** blushing **

I have this "thing" right now to try to limit my stuff to 10,000 words, or at least 10,000 per chapter, so I can post on some other story sites with that limitation. A lot of my stuff lately has been in the 11,000+ word range in the first draft, and I've carved away the fat to get to < 10,000.

Not all stories have to centered on sex. Wank stories are great -- a big sex romp can be fun to read or to write. But a lot of people seem to like to read and write things that are actual stories, with a plot, a setting, and well-defined characters. We like to know the who, where, when, and why of the sex as well as the how.

It sounds like you have a whole chapter full of back-story, which may be necessary for the actual tale you want to tell. Just make sure it moves along well enough to keep the reader interested.

A great example of "disappear[ing] into the story and become[ing] the characters was the collection of stories that were entered in CAW #3: http://forum.xnxx.com/showthread.php...alling+writers. The theme was anonymity, which challenged writers to create interesting stories without names or physical descriptions so that the reader could, hopefully, immerse him/herself in the story more readily.

As DC says, readers are different than writers. I find that some of the stuff I write looks good on my screen as I type it, but sounds awkward or just plain dumb when I read it out loud. I become a "reader" when I do that more than a "writer", which sometimes leads me to revise a lot, hopefully making the end product better.

Don't ever limit your writing based on other people. Write for yourself.
