Hey, i'm Lia

[LaLia]

Then I'd like to say a few words about myself...

I was fairly new to the Ravishu board, but already quite active with a few stories before this forum was cut. I've been helping out a bit from the beginning and would like to continue doing so as a mod to ensure our academy is a success.

I'm only in my early 20s and come from Germany, which is why I prefer reading and writing German stories. I haven't been writing for that long, and my beginnings revolved more around a one-sided sense of shame; a good example of this are CMNF fantasies. Gradually, I began to explore other facets.

I can't really say exactly what makes rape fantasies so appealing. I think, in a way, it's this aspect of pure fantasy or the allure of the forbidden. Still waters run deep.

I'm so glad to have you as part of the team here, @LaLia. Now you have to educate me a bit. What does CMNF stand for?

I once told you about another board where I had posted something. That's a topic there...stories in which pushing and exceeding one's sense of shame plays a central role. That's how it started for me, but even then, it was already under the background of a forced situation.

Hi Lia, I'm in the advantageous situation of being able to read your stories in either German or English, enjoying them tremendously. You make the stories in German sound poetic and appealing, and not as plump and dirty as I have read in the past.

Thank you

I'm glad to hear that. Are my stories better in German than in English? I'd be interested to know, since I feel more comfortable writing in German myself. The last few weeks here have really helped me practice my English writing.

That’s actually tough to answer, I think your ability to express yourself is very good in either language, you would need to ask a native speaker to find out if there is a deficit. In my opinion your english writing is absolutely up to par, the decision in what language to write will largely be up to you and where you find better feedback.

My problem with the german section many years back, was that the stories were very poorly written, and quite vulgar. I’m pretty sure the latter is true for my own writing, but writing in English gives me a layer of insulation. I actually prefer writing smut in English.

Interesting, I often have the same feeling with German stories. Is that perhaps simply because English terms often sound better? For example, fuck, cunt, hoe, bitch, ass, tits, rape... all of them sometimes sound a bit less pleasant in German. What I feel is more of a problem with English is that the vocabulary isn't as extensive. In German, you find more alternative words; in English, you don't know every word, but there's also the translator or AI.

I read your introduction. Isn't it true that English is widely spoken in Sweden anyway? A friend who often vacations there once said that not every film is dubbed like it is here, and that you therefore need English more often anyway! In Germany, you actually rarely need it... I find speaking somehow easier than writing, perhaps because it's easier to improvise.

I can tell you that this is definitely true in the Netherlands. I have two cousins who grew up there and they are much more used to watching shows in English compared to many people in Germany.

This might be just my personal impression, but using a different language offers me an additional layer of insulation, from the sordidness of the topic. I don’t think that cunt is actually a nicer word than the german equivalent starting with an F. I use it, with caution, as a lot of my female readers over the years told me it’s destroying their enjoyment of the story. So I use it deliberately, typically in direct speech to be hurtful and demeaning, but use other words referring to the same orifice if I can.
But that puts up the question what to use, vagina or vulva sounds so clinical. Pussy is always great but sounds a bit playful. There are of course the set of derogatory terms, such as cunt, snatch or fuck hole, they have their place but require some practice. Again, somebody speaking English natively, might be similar put of by my using those words, as I’m of those cheap german stories.

So a lot of words and still no clear answer.
