By this point, everybody has probably read @RapeU 's announcement that the forum will close in November . And while the original plan was to keep the regular contests running until the end, that has turned out to be not viable. Interest was waning even before the announcement and has gone down even further since.

So instead of having a series of contests, I wanted to ask everyone if they'd be interested to have one final one? A last hurrah...

Disclosure: I didn't write these. Just a bunch of stories I feel people here would like.

The Evolution of the Emotionless Free Use Tomboy

The Human Doll™ Program

Contractual Obligations

A Servant's Duty

The Price of Refusal

Stir Crazy

Dating a Pornstar is Hard

My Girlfriend is a Hooker and Her Daughter is Obsessed with Me

Sizes, sizes, sizes... Do we undress our characters to impress everyone else involved, including readers, with the sizes of their penises, breasts and buttocks?

Let's starts with cocks. I usually don't dwell on size, but I know that from time to time I slide into the style self-lampooned by Lespion decades ago . :d

“Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!” Larra Court grunted in pain as the heavyset thug thrust into her. She struggled in her...

I wanted to create this topic anyway, but given how the recent You-contest ended, I think it has become more urgent now.

In the recent You-contest, we had our first confirmed case of a contestant manipulating the contest in their favor by creating sockpuppet accounts to increase both the vote count of their story and the rating of their story. We also believe that they created sockpuppets accounts prior to that which have manipulated contests...

We recently got our new AI policy and I thought it might be fun to share how I use AI for editing purposes without letting AI write the story for me. I'm currently in the process of editing chapter 4 of my story Divergent Limit . I will share with you the conversation that I had with the AI (chatGPT, custom GPT Monday) and then you can see how every single change came about. I will show you only the first six paragraphs because that is how far...

I'm a great fan of historical fiction, and I try to stick to the 'where the history book ends, my story begins' in my own writing. That said, every historic novel plays a little with the known knowns. For example, Dumas's musketeers were based on historical figures, but the author strayed very, very far from the real noblemen.

Some works play a lot. Are you attracted by fictional worlds where something went the other way at a turning point? The...

One of the sad tendencies of our community is that many good stories are forgotten over time. And the Popular Stories and Community Favorites boards are meant to mitigate that issue. And while I ocassionally experience myself that stories I wrote receive a rating or a vote in a poll long after I published them, there seems to be a sort of inhibition to comment on an older story as if pushing an older classic back to the top of the Public Stories...

I have been rather vocal in some of my recent reviews on the topic of teasers, how I see them and how they might be used to greater effect. Not because I think the authors did anything wrong, but because I would like their work to attract more readers. This triggered a question in my mind, does anybody actually read teasers? I know I don’t, or at least I don’t when picking a story to read. Once I opened the story I will read the teaser first,...

Can we talk about the rating system for a moment?

It just struck me again that having only 3 points is kind of silly. I don't really want to give anyone a zero—or simply not rate the post at all. So, everyone deserves a 1 if I’ve read it, even if I don't think it's very good. A score of 3, on the other hand, is for good stories, which means everything else inevitably has to get 2 points.

I would prefer a scale of up to 4 or even 5 points.

1...

Just a quick explanation for anyone who missed it in the chat: I’m currently planning Season 2 of my story Das Internat and realizing just how extensive the world-building has become. I started thinking about how I could provide readers with a quick overview—covering the various characters, the plot so far, and so on.

That’s how I came up with the idea for a thread structured like a Wikipedia entry: a list of characters with brief descriptions,...

Creating and writing characters can be exciting and fun. Jumping into another character's brain, asking what would this rapist do in the situation or what would this victim do, how would she feel. Sometimes it's easy and fun to let characters loose in a world of your creation.

Other times, jumping into a character to become that character is hard. I just finished a chapter in my long female rapist story where my character got incredibly angry...

@Claire encouraged me to open a forum topic for feedback on my first fic. It's a vanilla story.

It's a DC/Baldur's Gate 3 crossover. So basically, an idea I've had in my head for a while. Basic concept, it's one of those bad futures timelines where, after an unknown catastrophe (I decided to keep it vague), Batman, Nightwing, and Robin died, Jason Todd regressed to his darker instincts. After a devastating loss, he crosses the despair event...

We have several topics on characters already:

Choice of character names : About finding names for characters

Diving into Characters : Focusses on deep diving into characters and how that may affect the author

Character descriptions in rape fantasies... are bad : Which puts focus on physical descriptions

This topic touches on all of that to an extent and ties some things together.
My goal would be to use this as a place where authors can...

I had a number of smaller discussions regarding this with @Claire and we realised that the subject could use its own thread. To me proper worldbuilding is an essential part of most stories. Others seem to be able to look past things that are able to ruin a story for me. (In fact I get the feeling that in modern times the movie authors seem to play it more loose the higher they go on the pay scale).

I will try to structure this post somewhat...

So I couldn't sleep, and I was thinking.
In a lot of erotic romances, the love interest rapes the main character, or at least attempts to rape her (which officially began in 1740 with Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded, but I would say that it's as old as ancient times, since Hades raped and kidnapped Persephone and the two still end up having a happy marriage, or Sun, Moon, and Talia from 1634 aka the Italian version of Sleeping Beauty where she is...

I think there are now many things we can be truly proud of here, and which, in my opinion, are working better than on RavishU. Above all, this includes the quality of the stories.

However, what I still miss, and what isn't really taking off (and, in my opinion, isn't being pushed hard enough), is the German section. There are hardly any German stories anymore, and of course, fewer people commenting on them in general. This is a shame and...

What do we need to see our stories take shape? I myself am content with a laptop and LibreOffice, but perhaps some of us still use pen and paper, at least in part. Come to think about it, I sometimes do a little outlining that way.

I know there's a plethora of digital writing tools out there, but I've never used them with the exception of machine translation by Google and DeepL, but here we segue into the subject of AI that has a thread of its...

There's a fine thread on character perspectives and narrator styles by @Claire , but we haven't really discussed tenses. Most of our tales of woe rely on past tense -- incorporating present for dialogue, past perfect for backstory, that goes without saying. So does the great majority of stories, it's the literary norm, I guess.

Does writing in present tense do a lot for you? We know that first person present is baiting @Vela Nanashi :d, but...

When writing a series of stories, there is always a possibility of making errors with the timeline of events.

In some cases, authors may have stories that no longer fit the overall narrative of the series. What do you do with those stories? Delete them? Edit them? As a reader, would you read them anyway knowing it was earlier work and not cannon?

On another site, which I belong to, there is a yearly challenge called The 750-Word Challenge (Event, Project, Month). Every February, members who choose to participate write a story or stories in which the body text is exactly 750 words in length. There are certain issues with this. Such as, EM dashes with no space around count as one word, EM dashes with spaces on either side count as three words. Therefore, the only way to use long dashes is...

You're working on a story and then for any reason or no reason you just get stuck and have a hard time figuring out what to write next. If that sounds like you, or you're in a similar situation, you're not alone! For this thread, talk about the stories that you're just stuck on, or talk about being in a creative slump. Perhaps other authors or readers can help give you inspiration, or if not join you with the dreaded block.

Here's a story I...

Show, don't tell! is probably the most well known piece of writing advice that everybody has heard of. But is it actually good advice, what does it mean, and how do you interpret it and apply it to your own writing?

I was inspired for this topic by The Closer Look's recent video essay on YouTube with the title Show Don't Tell Is Terrible Advice :

It's a great video. i like to let videos like that run in the background while I'm doing the...

There are plenty of stories that include it: 69, missionary, doggystyle, on the couch, on the table, etc. But a lot of stories don't talk about the realistic part of sexual positions. Some sex positions are awkward, some difficult to get into, and some once you're in the position are difficult to maintain.

I find it interesting that a lot of times stories avoid the awkwardness entirely, as if it's being told through rose tinted glasses. You...

So this is the place to look for – and hopefully find! – resources or information to support a plot point, setting or character within your story.

Here one can:

seek opinion on a wide range of topics; and
get advice on whether a plot point is feasible in real life.

What this thread is not:

a place to discuss a fantasy universe; or
a place to seek feedback on story ideas.

Do some basic research first. This is not the place for...

I have watched a movie titled Dogville, and really enjoyed it. I’m surprised that I wasn’t able to find any noncon story centered around this topic (virtually anywhere).

This is a question that is somewhat unique to our genre. Rape fantasy at its core involves the violation of a character against their will. That naturally reduces their agency, especially if the story involves the character being in captivity for a prolonged period of time. But in a story, a character that makes no choices quickly becomes boring. How do you solve that issue as a writer? I struggled with that problem in Record Chaser and...

The question of race pops up from time to time in our stories and comments. Is there something special, a distinctive approach, when we use characters belonging to races other than one's own, including fantasy races -- or encounter them in various ravishment settings as readers?

The choice of words, the choice of scenarios -- do we use stereotypes or try to subvert them in our interracial stories? Are we driven towards them by the thrill of...

I realized not long ago we don't have a thread for written mainstream rape scenes, despite being a written fiction ravishment site. How did that happen?

I wish I were the one to bring forth loads of good examples, but I don't have that many. When I was growing up, I was drawn to these scenes like a fly to sweet sweet honey, except I couldn't smell the honey. I had to stumble on it. Enough with the tortured metaphors.

Steven King was a decent...

Choosing character names is far from easy, and some authors approach it with great care. Historical porn certainly requires onomastic attention -- you want your names to work for the time period!

How do you come up with names for your victims, villains and supporting characters? @Vela Nanashi , I'm especially interested in your approach! :vela: As for me, I just love going through books and web pages on onomastics.

And now for something...

I think one aspect we haven't talked much about yet are the titles of our stories here. And I think they are one of the main reasons that determine how often a story gets clicked, more so than the name of the author or the tags. I can tell you that views on my stories vary drastically depending on the title, even if they are similar in length and the author is of course me in both cases.

I would like to know how you as authors choose your...

Is it a vagina, a pussy, a twat or a cunt? All four and more, more, more... But how do we choose words describing the persons, organs and processes we can't do without in our kind of writing? Let's discuss the relevant :eggplant: :peach: :sweat: terms!

I've been fond of revisiting the mischievous lists of clichés presented in the 'Sex in the Romance' section of the Ferri Tales , well worth a read. Mostly to see how not to do it -- although an...

I am curious how other authors craft their stories. Do you have a scene in mind that you really want to write and then create characters and plot around that scene? Or do you start with some general idea, create a basic outline for the plot and then design the individual scenes as you bring that plot to life? And how much is your writing influenced by your personal kinks?

For me, I have usually some idea that I like to explore in my writing and...

So I’ve been thinking again about AI, because it’s been a hot minute. We had an AI thread going here a while back, but it was focusing on the personal process of writers using AI in their story crafting and I’m just ruminating here on other issue about the long-term effects of AI on fiction. I’ve never used ChatGPT or similar packages, so I can’t say much about the workflow there anyway.

But I can talk about something we don’t see much on...

In this game one user starts a story, and each follow up post is written by a another user. Each new addition to the story needs to be at least one full sentence. About 10 words minimum to around 100 words maximum. Before a user can add something to the story again, at least 2 other users must have posted a continuation.

Let's write a story as a community :) I shall start with:

It started as a spark, then quickly became a conflagration.

On Claire's story Record Chaser we've gotten into a discussion of writing videos and it seems like this is a good general discussion topic. Plus I don't want to detract from Record Chaser itself, which is a great story. So I'll start with a recap of my final post there and see where it goes. I just skimmed down my list of subscriptions and pulled out the ones I recognized as writing-oriented. I certainly missed some, but I'm happy to add to this...

Hi everyone,

I am looking for stories from the now defunct sites (rapecage and ravishu).

In particular the stories by Roxxon (they had a beautiful story about Alex Daddario, called donating to the needy, I believe)

and a story from rapecage about Karen Fukuhara. Anyone have backups?
