I'm fairly new to this site, but so far there hasn't been any discussion about the Swingers Stories section. Admittedly, some of them are pretty terrible, and most of the rest are ho-hum, but some of them are genuinely erotic. Anyone else have any thoughts?
Also, I like the idea of writing an erotic story to order, so if any members would care to suggest a scenario, I'll have a bash at producing a story based around it.
Hope this suggestion stimulates some interest. (So to speak.)
Think of the horniest situation you've ever been in and write about that. People in literary circles say you should write from the heart, but in this case writing from other more personal parts of the anatomy should produce good results wink
I've read quite a few of the stories on here, and keep thinking I should pen one myself, just never got round to it.
Happy story telling 8)
You're correct, some of the stories are so bad, so badly written and just appear to be the drunken ramblings of lost souls who can't find the 'shutdown' button on their PC. Bad grammar and spelling just add to the problems - oh, and the ones written in all capitals too!
Some are obviously true and others are well written - the joy is when you get those which are both true and well written. However I would hate to put off those people who are not literary giants but have a horny story to tell - I do tend to have a little peek at them now and then redface
So, more power to all those pens out there

sad awww... I don't think it is fair to criticise people for badly written stories and grammar.
Most of the stories are pretty long and it must have taken the author some time to put them together. I would imagine that the vast majority of people are one-finger typists who probably know how to spell but can't be bothered to go back and correct their mistakes. It stems the creative flow somewhat! (and writing from memory is tricky)
It's not the spelling and grammar that matters but the content. I don't know if it's just me but I find almost all of them pretty sexy! Not so much the fantasy stories but the true ones.
My problem is, I am a touch typist with nimble fingers but bugger all to write about! lol
But I do enjoy visiting the site and reading postings and especially the stories. I just wish more happened to me so I could contribute instead of read :(
The postings from Shirl about her dogging stories are superb I think. Thanks Shirl :!: smile :!: biggrin
Mark, the only improvement I would make is to split the fantasy stories from the real ones... and finding a way for me to have something real to submit!

I agree - it's the story which counts ... and I have to agree further about the obviously true ones being so much more exciting and productive!! Fantasy I can do myself.
Didn't mean to be a literary facist! :cry:
It was scary that we posted at same time, not once but twice! do do do do do do. (that was the X-Files music btw!)
The only reason we didn't post at the same time again was because I was reading the toilet sex story! That was hot! Shame it was in caps! (Still, a quick copy and paste into the appropriate utility on your part and you could soon re-post it in lower case eh Mark? wink )
There are are few extra postings from Louise that could do with a tidy up though... dunno what happened there!
Jags... having read all your posts recently I wouldn't EVER criticise you!
Nice to speak to you both!
I can take criticism - not well, but I can take it!!
lol :lol: :lol:

Fact of fantasy does not change the enjoyment for me. But knowing the difference would help tell the swingers from the hangers lol
If anyone has any ideas how I could organise it then don't hold back in coming forward with ideas

Alphabetical order? :lol: Ouch - don't hit so hard!
Can you set up some sort of approval rating? I know there have been a few people who posted a story for the first time, and would dearly like to know if it worked for others. That might help improve quality.
I like categories. No idea what though. Like the forums, Dogging, Meetings, Chance encounters, outdoors, group, couple perhaps. Trouble is, the site gets complicated and people stick things in the wrong catagory and you make more work for yourself. And you would have to read through all the stories to make sure they were in the right place. What a terrible job :!:
I know you don't like weeding things unless you have to Mark, everyone is entitled to a say, but what about anything which is not getting read, remove? You can always make exceptions for individual stories.
Now, I am off to read the highly recommended toilet story. If I can find it...

Hi Petelhk,
You want hot.... read the postings from Shirl. You will need time but well worth it wink
One thing I do find hard (Mark this is for you) is when the author never puts any line endings in. Maybe, at the very least, you could just add the odd carriage return here and there. It doesn't necessarily have to be in the right places (which would mean you reading all the stories thoroughly!) but it helps to break up the long lines.
Maybe a little helpful sentence at the top of the screen to this end would help posters?
I read most of the stories at work when no-one is around lol which means that I need to keep my mouse on the collapse window button (just in case :!smile and when I do have to collapse it's hard to find where I got to.. its a hard life eh?
I really don't think it needs any other categorising than what I said before. With the story names and the first few lines showing people can soon see if its something they want to read. I do, however, tend to avoid those that are fantasy.
You only have to see the number of views the stories are getting, even only after a short while after posting, to see how popular the section is.
Maybe I could put together a book..... :idea: :wink:
What about "recent stories" "not so recent" "10 most popular" and possibly "list by author" (can we already do that last one??).
Or we could just leave it, people will get better over time.
Fact of fantasy does seem, quick, easy and simple though. And it seems to be what most people want.
Also, I like the idea of writing an erotic story to order, so if any members would care to suggest a scenario, I'll have a bash at producing a story based around it.

Just Another Guy, as the string is called Literary Challenge, check out the string called "ladies" Produce a story to meet that scenario. Now there is a challenge for you. :twisted: or perhaps not...

Hi, New Guy here. I have read the stories and rate Shirl's very good as well macman but the trouble is you need to take half a day of work to find them and then another half day to read em!!
I liked the 'Adverse Camber' one as well, brought back memories of when I took a gal up to the Peak District for a picnic on a hill, a chicken salad for lunch, but I forgot to pack the bloody chicken, slammed the boot in frustration and the Morris Traveller went for a ride down the hill. Later it poured with rain and the gal copped off with bloke who had a mini cooper.
Good grief! I posted a quick reply to this thread before I went to work this morn (OK, I'm sad wink ) - now it's lunch time and I'm back again, and there's been a whole host of ideas on this one! Phew, there's some busy typists around!
I think it is harsh to criticise bad grammar, spelling etc - my typing is gerenally OKish, but if I was writing something a bit hot I'm not sure I would be able to keep up to excellent stardards redface It's the content that matters. I think everyone should be able to post a story, but maybe only keep all stories on for a limited period of time (say a month?) so that the section doesn't become over-loaded. Perhaps the most popular ones could stay on as "favourites".
I'm not sure the "fantasy"/"reality" distinction would work, I mean I'm thinking of writing one based on reality but a little bit of fantasy might creep in there as well if I get carried away :wink:
Separating by content might work better - but it might be tricky to decide what category to post in!
Anyway, those are my thoughts, I haven't spell and grammar checked, so sorry if there is any :wink: :wink: :wink:
Cheers, Mark - Just checked out the secret life site - that's a secret life and a half, that is! I'll have a proper read when I've a few hours spare wink
Arthur,
I took a gal up to the Peak District for a picnic on a hill

is this a sexual term I don't know about? wink
Shirl's very good as well macman but the trouble is you need to take half a day of work to find them and then another half day to read em!!

But, just like dogging from the things I have read, well worth the trouble! I almost feel as though I am there lol
I like the idea of most popular, although that will have no bearing for me, but its nice for the author to see the popularity (or not) of their story.
I'm not sure the "fantasy"/"reality" distinction would work, I mean I'm thinking of writing one based on reality but a little bit of fantasy might creep in there as well if I get carried away.....

I would pretty much guarentee that all the reality stories contain a fair bit of "artistic licence" anyway biggrin I am just talking about the obvious ones like "The other night Kylie popped round to give me a BJ...."
By the way, can you tell I have just discovered how to quote?
rolleyes :twisted: evil :wink: :cry:
BTW, have you all seen this?! - amazing stuff!

:shock: BLIMEY! Enough there to keep me locked up in my bedroom for months! :shock:
thanks lol
BTW, have you all seen this?! - amazing stuff!

Gobsmacked.
Even learned a new word - Gamahuching - bit of a mouthfull though biggrin
Arthur,
Sorry about the length, some like a quick 5 minutes, others like to take their time and savour the moment.
Ok, some fantasy stories are easy to spot - but what if Kylie did pop round one night to give someone a BJ - the lucky bloke might want to write about it and post it on here - the poor sod, it seems no-one would believe him :cry: ! I suspect he wouldn't be that bothered tho, if Kylie popped round to my house for a bit of hanky panky I really wouldn't care if anyone believed me or not - I would have my memories, and that would be good enough for me 8) 8)
OK, enough of this, I should go and do some work.
By the way, how does this quoting thing work anyway?
What an interesting set of responses - when you guys get your teeth into something, you really run with it, don't you? lol
Mark, if you're going to categorise, carry on; but, if one of your aims is to separate fact from fantasy, all I can say is, good luck mate! I've already posted three stories here, two of which were fantasy. Anyone care to hazard a guess as to the real-life one?
Another point: I posted a fourth story, posing as a female, and that one got far more attention than all the others (in terms of views). Now, maybe that story was sexier than the others, but I suspect it's because it was supposedly written by a woman, and guys find that a turn-on. Am I right, or a meringue? (Sorry, wee Scottish joke there.)
PS: Pete, I'm on the case. wink
Just,
You are a god!
Fan bloody tastic. Only had time for a quick look, I shall peruse properly later.
I am not worthy!
Pete
Just Another Guy - Nice story!!!! :P :P :P
but as a lover of man on man action, I was bound to say that! That's the sort of threesome I desire!
Roll on Tuesday biggrin :D
Thank you, thank you *modest bow*.
Pete, don't be silly, I'm not a god. A demigod, at best. biggrin Or a dyslexic god, which would make me a dog, I suppose ....... Oh hell, never mind.
Blue, why are you eager for Tuesday? Have I missed something? Are you going to be rolling round on a bed with two men smothered in aromatic oil? I think we should be told. wink
OK, God, or Dog or whatever you're correct title is - sorry, I thought I'd put in an earlier post about Tuesday, maybe I haven't, maybe I've been on here too long, maybe I meant to post and forgot, I don't know confused
Anyway, just to clarify, because you asked, Tuesday is THE night - bi night at Liaisons, Rochdale - Since I discovered them a couple of months ago I now live for these nights. Bi night is the night when seemingly straight men lose their inhibitions and wildly and rampantly nosh on each others cocks until the wee small hours - and I get to watch it all! There's the odd gang bang as well, and the usual bit of girl on girl that happens at all of these places - but the very fact that man on man cock sucking happens right in front of me, in groups no less, and I get to join in where and when I want means that it is on my mind already and there's 4 days to go - how will I wait that long!!!!
Blue,
I really can't figure out why you don't scare the crap out of me! smile I scored a 58 you know, and a dodgy one at that! I'm verging on the virgin. I shall think of you Tuesday night.
Just, the respect was as much for the speed of response as anything. I was dithering around thinking of a story line just for Blue (tip toeing again) and there you were!
Oh how will I ever earn my promotion!

I'm not scary, I'm just a little blue doggy wink
I bet you could thnk of a story that would turn me on, now you know what I like to get up to on my nights out. I will put pen to paper (OK, fingers to keys, but that doesn't sound right) one of these days - that will shock a few folks :shock:
Hey Pete,
Yup, I'm fast all right. I used to take ages over sex, but I've got the whole thing down to about 90 seconds now, including foreplay. Pretty impressive, huh? confused
Blue ... you go, girl, and enjoy yourself. Personally, guy-on-guy and girl-on-girl doesn't do a lot for me. I prefer at least one member of each sex. But each to his/her own, what what? smile
Grief - a gal goes out for the afternoon and comes back to find a whole tome of postings - great stuff though!!
Mark - that site is most impressive - pity Allgood is on his hols or he'd be in there all weekend, I might have to read it on his behalf!!
Haven't read the new stories yet but will after my first glass of wine and before my last. Love these fast moving threads.
Pete - for a guy in retirement you've certainly got a new lease of life lol :lol:
As for the rest - Swingers Stories coming up later.
Reviews later too!!
Jags x xx
Just Another Guy - you don't like girl on girl? Like you say each to their own, but aren't you a minority, most guys like that don;t they, or at least they say they do rolleyes
Yep, these fast moving threads are ace - can't wait for more stories!
