No, I guess I am not good enough to have a story idea ready to start writing right when the comp is announced. I am not that good unfortunately.

You're with sprite on this one eh? Yeah, me too. How dickish of me to ask an author their method so I can learn how to have a story, sorry, I mean an idea ready to go right when the comp is announced. It's amazing. Usually takes me a week or more to have a thorough idea down for a comp before I can start writing. Probably why I struggle to get them in on time with only a few days left before the comp closes. I found Jayne having an idea ready to go right at the start when she first heard of the comp to be noteworthy. So I asked her about it, my bad. Not sure why you would be so sensitive about it. I would brag if I were that good.


Surely you have a bank of ideas? I always do. Mine tend to be stored as a paragraph or two to remind me of what the gist was, enough to jump start. I save these starts all on one document, and from time to time use one.

I have a couple ideas that I could take and with a minor tweek turn into comp stories. But I think I have too many projects going already for this time around. I'm afraid starting one more might crash the entire juggling act. Maybe the next one will be a better time for me.

My question is fairly simple. I like the idea of this competition, but does the item have to be mentioned by name and model type, or can it be a little more vague. I'm happy to showcase ideas, concepts, and actions that could involve a specific toy, and in truth the idea doesn't bother me too much (certainly not enough to make a fuss of any kind), but it seems a little like product placement and I wonder what kind of detail level would be the cutoff for entry. Thanks as always for any info! Usually I just ask a mod, but this one seemed like it would be useful for everyone to hear.

You made these adjustments in just a couple hours? Well that's pretty impressive. You had a story (idea) already, then you heard of this comp and in a couple hours you figured the proper adjustments to make it work for this comp. That is what you are saying? Well that is very impressive. Good luck in the comp!


Yes, I was saying I made the adjustments in a few hours. It actually only took a few minutes to decide how I would fit the product placement into the story. It's a story that I've been thinking about for nearly a year, but I've only recently felt happy enough with the standard of my writing to be able to attempt to write it.

As for Nymphwriter being sensitive, I think its due to the fact that the tone in someone's post can be hard to pick up, so if it contains humour, or sarcasm, it can be easily read as something different.

I hope you manage to think up a story idea and wish you the best in the competition.

yes. it can be as simple as 'a butt plug'. you don't need to go into any more detail than that, if you don't wish. if i am wrong, i am sure someone will be happy to point it out. they usually are. smile

Of course you only heard about the comp the day you posted and that same day you thought of your adjustments... Sounds legit.

Not sure if crowbarring a backburnered story into a comp theme is the way I would go nor do I think it is in the spirit of competition... but good luck to you.

As I mentioned in my earlier post, I think care should be taken when writing in forums, as the tone can very easily be taken the wrong way. I don't know if this is what has happened for you? I feel you must have taken my post wrong for you to respond to my messages in such a way.

I feel that it is wrong that I should have to explain myself to you (again), but I will and this will be the last I say on the matter.

In my experience, imaginative and creative people tend to have a store of ideas, it can only take seconds for inspiration strike. I understand that it doesn't always come as easily, as I've had situations with past competitions where I have been unable to think of an idea instantly. Sometimes a theme taps into something that you've been thinking about. (like this theme for me)

Having never spoken to you before, or you never reading any of my work (to my knowledge) I don't feel you are very well placed to judge my ability to come up with ideas quickly, or how much care and attention I take with my writing. I wouldn't be so rude as you've been to me with someone I knew really well, let alone someone that I never had contact with before. You have no understanding of the person you are attacking. (And even if that wasn't your intention, that is what you have done.)

It actually made me laugh at the fact that you quoted a definition at me speaking of care in what one says to not cause offense. The phrase, pot calling the kettle black, springs to mind.

I can tell from the messages that you've already sent, that this post won't make a blind bit of difference to your opinion and that's fine, but I'd respectfully ask that you desist in picking at my ability to form story ideas, or make sly accusations towards me.

And here's a definition for you;

closed-mind·ed [klohzd-mahyn-did]

adjective
having a mind firmly unreceptive to new ideas or arguments: It's hard to argue with, much less convince, a closed-minded person.

Keeping it vague / non-specific is absolutely fine.

Otherwise we'll end up with things like:

"he gently nudged the Pleasuremaster 3000 MKIV into my sopping pussy, and I could feel my orgasm starting to take hold."

That's a turn on!

That made me LLOL (literally laugh out loud).

I've never entered a competition before, and I am currently writing a toy story, but not a toy you feature. I'm trying with limited success to include one. The way I see it, the toy-specific competition theme is all good, it stretches your imagination to try to work one in, and if you can't, fuck it, you still have a story. Win-win.

adjective

What makes me laugh is you smugly acting like you don't know what I am talking about when it comes to exactly when your inspiration hit. That is what I mean by you showing some discretion. I am not denying that someone can come up with a story idea in a few minutes...what I was questioning is you stating how fleshed out it actually was so soon after the competition was announced. You are acting like the comp was announced to your complete surprise and minutes later you had a fleshed out idea. Confident enough to post here about it that soon after the announcement. If I can see how unconvincing your explanation is than I am sure others can as well. And I am someone that has done well in comps... Others that haven't even entered comps would probably feel the deck is stacked against them.

Close minded... LOL more like a little too open minded. Someone like me sees the whole forest. You're bumping into trees.

I refer you to my last response, in which I said I would not discuss this matter with you any further.

If you have an issue then can I suggest you take it up as an official complaint by using the contact page.

Maybe you could try acting just a little bit less of a smarmy jackass to people? I know this is a foreign concept based on how you typically post, but seriously, grow the fuck up dude.

If it takes you a month for a story competition idea to come to fruition, that's not my problem, Jayne's problem, or anyone else's problem but yours. I've gotten ideas as soon as I read the prompt. You kind of...get used to having those flashes of inspiration when you take advanced fiction classes. Or well, any writing class in general.

If you can't even think of a story idea until two weeks into it, again, that's your problem. Plenty of people seem to get ideas almost immediately after the announcement. I've seen entries posted within 2-3 days. Sometimes even the next day.

Maybe you should realize that, uh, not everyone has YOUR goddamn level of inspiration or lack thereof based purely from a quickness standpoint?

I have a feeling that if hypothetical member 'Z', and let's call him LooneyTunes, had a story idea for "toys" cooking for over a year, or hell, already had one written, and stumbled upon a contest that fit the theme of a story he already had complete, you still find something to complain about. That's what you do.


With al this time spent complaining and thinking up Templar level conspiracy theories, you could have been spending that time writing your competition entry.

I have to say that I find the personal attacks in this forum made by Felix a bit out of place. If you have a beef with someone or with Lush Felix, then there is a more appropriate and private way to express it.

As for the personal attack on Jayne, I can tell you this. She most definitely has many story ideas outlined and fleshed out that she has not had time to write up (she’s told me about some of them in the past). It’s no surprise to me that she can tweak an existing story idea or outline to fit a competition guideline.
