I may not have expressed myself as clearly as I might have liked in my previous post. Maybe I'll do better this time, maybe not. I didn't mean to give the impression that I was unconcerned with reader reactions.Originally posted by YNHumiliator
If all you are interested in is writing a story for yourself what's the point of putting it on a website?
My assumption is that if a story works for me, someone else will find it arousing as well. I don't really find out how other people view it until I've posted it and then I typically only hear from people for whom it worked.
The main point of my posts here is to get some feedback from other writers and readers and learn from their experiences. Even when I take a contrary postion, I value your opinion.
While I'm on the subject, however, I would like to mention that for me the sex is secondary in that the sex is subordinate to the plot, not the reverse. My goal is to write a story which will be read to find out what happens next, rather than be skimmed for the "good" parts. I may not always be successful, but that's the goal. Each story is an experiment.
