I Write first person when I am describing what I have experienced, but when I write a fictional story I write in the third party. Oddly enough my made up stories rarely have an erotic thread, just the occasional tortured relationship which sex invariably screws up. Perhaps my under-mind is trying to tell me something!
Difficult subject. My first draught of my experiences in a Netball team had to be completely re-written to age all the team safely over 18, I also had to hide the identity of the Coach, who used us as his personal harem, even though he is now dead and tons of stuff have come out about him in the news. I assumed since I was writing about actual events I was okay, but apparently not. Stephen King in his book "Geralds Game" very frankly describes a young girl being molested by her father, and that book is sold here in the UK without any censorship. When Amazon refused my book until I changed it they just said it was "inappropriate" and that I could not name the coach as they were not willing to risk being sued.
Can you get any sadder? Sort of voyeur without a telescope. I started to get these weird E mails from a guy who claimed he controlled me telepathically, said I regularly stripped for him in my bedroom while he watched from his car on the road. Demanded I go down and get into his car. Er, if he controlled me why did he need to order me? And I close the curtains, two teenage boys in the house opposite sort of clue you to get modest. Took it as a joke until the news started to tell stories of women killed.
I got paranoid and noticed there was a car many nights outside our house, had enough one night and went down with a manchette I keep handy, smashed his side window and threatened all sorts. Still doing community service for terrorising a Chinese Meal Delivery Service. Bugger, never liked rice much anyway.
I think the best ever introduction to a novel is "last night I dreamt of mandalay" it certainly impressed the master, Stephen King, who used it in his haunting novel "Bag of Bones" it draws you in at once, where is Mandalay, why should we dream of it? Awesome classic. I personally am instantly turned off by a narrative that intends to engage you, kind of like getting a phone call about extending warranty.
I wrote a book about my experience with a certain superstar, recently deceased and got so many warnings I scrapped it, but the story would not leave me alone so I re-wrote it and changed a lot, but not the events. It is available now on Amazon as Netball - it is not a game, by Paula Ariadne. The superstar? well lets say he liked to make wishes come true.
