Maybe something psychedelic, or non-linear? Dada-ist porn? I just like the idea of Strange as a category, I haven't thought it out too much.


Shame. Shame.

Ya shoulda read my crappy comp story. Clum’s and your own comment would make even more sense.

I'd never heard of Robert Aickman, though he sounds like a remarkable writer, and right up my alley (heh). I will read him.

And yes, Strange Sex Stories is a great idea for a category. It'd get me writing (and reading) again.



Glad to have piqued your interest. If you ever do decide to read any Aickman, I would start with his "We Are For the Dark" collection. They are his earliest stories and are the ones I think his best.

And I do love that title. For those who don't know the line, it is taken from Shakespeare's Anthony & Cleopatra, delivered by Cleopatra's servant Iras as she and her mistress contemplate the asps.

"Finish, good lady. The bright day is done,
And we are for the dark."

How about the subject matter we call TRIBBING? I think it is one of the most beautiful things women do. I also wonder if men ever do it in some way?????

hey, Ted. i think that's a little too specific for a category? Might i suggest it would make a better tag for Lesbian stories? smile

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

Isn't it just possible that we have too many categories already? May I quote Polonius:

"The best actors in the world, either for
tragedy,
comedy,
history,
pastoral,
pastoral-comical,
historical-pastoral,
tragical-historical,
tragical-comical-historical-pastoral,
scene individable, or poem unlimited.
Seneca cannot be too heavy, nor Plautus too light. For the law of writ and the liberty, these are the only men."

Really good writing - I suggest this is the point Shakespeare was hinting at, tongue firmly in cheek - is uncategorisable. And that's good.

GrushaVashnadze's best stories:

Alison Goes to London (RR) - "love this... fun, and funny, and sexy" (sprite)

The Cursed Cunt (RR) - "holyyyyy sheeeiiit.... Your writing is fucking fantastic" (CarltonStJames)

A Worthless Filthy Fucking Smoking Trash Cunt Whore (RR) - "Brilliantly done. Of course." (naughtyannie)

Snow White and the Seven Dildos (RR) - "Fuck. It's perfect.... honestly genius and so fucking well executed." (VioletVixen)

Metamorphoses (RR) - "so imaginative and entertaining" (saucymh)

And There Came Two Angels to Sodom - "What a deliciously worded story! So juicy, so raunchy" (el_henke)

Fuck-Talk (with VioletVixen) - "Jeez. I feel rendered wordless by how much clever fucking fun this is" (Jaymal)

I am kind of with you. A few fairly broad categories, then use tagging for the details. Certainly, I find something like "tribbing" way too specific for a category, as sprite pointed out.

I am with you, Grusha, at least until I get my greedy paws on "my precious" (omnium badge), then you peeps can add a zillion categories as far as I am concerned. hahahahaha! As long as the decision still stands to *not* remove the badge once it is obtained.

Now there's a good idea! (Or at least, as seeker4 suggests, a few broad categories, and leave the rest to the tags.)

But I'm going to play Devil's advocate again (forgive me if I stray off-topic!) and say that actually a good sex story isn't actually about sex - any more than a good ballet is about dancing, or a good opera is about singing, or a good comedy is about jokes. Those are just the tools used - just as we smut writers use sex as a literary tool - to express, hopefully, more significant things about ourselves and the world we live in.

(That sounds pretentious, doesn't it? I'll shut up now and go and write some more facile vacuous filthy wank-fodder... [winks ironically])

How about... stories about left-handed redhead girls with glasses masturbating to BDSM stories they read on Lush while their husbands are off at work? Too specific?

. Perhaps we ought to have a category for the tongue, whilst Shakespeare May have kept his in his cheek, mine like to play in other places
I am glad that a flutter can mean so much, and be oh so powerful! Whilst I bring my own kind of chaos to those I choose to know everywhere, I do believe in Chaos theory, and I am glad that it is suggested that the fluttering wings of a butterfly can be felt the other side of the globe, it gives me hope that I can caress your soul.

I think anything Ping writes qualifies as strange. In a GOOD way, of course. smile

I'd define Strange Sex as strange but NOT fitting into an existing specific category (e.g. tentacles). Kind of a catch-all category. Like, a story about a Wendigo, an Native American mythological critter who is insatiably hungry, would be strange sex.




I'm really missing him ?

I think sexuality is intimately bound up with matters that are mostly political. So Sex in Politics or simply Political. I think this can be considered smile

A legend in my own mind!
If looking for feedback on MeaganAnne's suggestion I vote "Hell Yes!" Which might stem from my infantile and perfectly understandable breast fetish. Either I was bottle-fed as a baby or the fact my own meager offerings made me much more aware and attracted to those with more of a natural endowment. I haven't written a breast fetish story . . . OK, I confess, I have written several, just not gotten them to the point of publishing one. This new category would cause me to unhook the bra and get comfy and finish one or two of them :-)
