Dirty.. little... Lia 😉 (I couldn't help myself...)

Yeah, agree with Joe, Perchance is decent for explicit photos, though it does have it's quirks. If you're looking for video you might need to research into paid programs. Though I have no interest so it's not something I've looked into myself.

For the writing, honestly there's so many other ways to look for ideas then using an AI. There's the forums here and on other sites. Like Reddit has a ton of NSFW prompt subs - make a throwaway account if you don't want it linked to an account you already have. Plus, on Reddit they even have subs for people who want writing advise or to talk with people - again, this is including NSFW groups.

For flow help, you can look up story guides/structures -- There are MANY. Ugh, too many. I honestly don't think it would be inappropriate to ask something like chatgpt to create a writing structure guide for you if you know what you want and don't want. Say you wanted a story guide that combined the 3 act structure with the plot pyramid, and have it add in a suggested word count per section with a max of 4,000 words - it will do that for you. It's not writing the story for you but giving you a guide to plop in your ideas and see the areas you need to fill out even more or where you need to cut things back. That to me is okay since it's a guide you'd use to plot out your writing just like in school.

Also, say you want a better word to use, you could ask something like chat. I know there's thesaurus sites but they lack context. So for example I just put this into chat: "I'm writing a spicy story, can you give me other words to describe my main characters husbands blue eyes?" and there's a ton of answers but they're all simple like this: pale sapphire, midnight blue, cobalt, etc. Using those wouldn't be plagiarism/letting AI write for you. However, asking chat to write the thoughts of the wife describing her husband's "cobalt" eyes and then using those prompts would be.

Grammarly is what I use for grammar control. I like it because it does teach you as you use it. I don't use PRO, though I have in the past for my academic writing, but as long as you aren't abusing the auto-rewrite/write features, it's okay. Just know that it's pretty easy for AI-written things to be identified - Grammarly has an AI detector and checks for plagiarism, too. It does a lot more than just that but say you are writing your own stories, then plop it into Grammarly, or use the keyboard sensor to check spelling/grammar etc, that's fine. Like right now there's suggestions all over my text because I use the extension for Grammarly, but this is my casual typing so I don't want this to sound like my formal writing, but for it to sound like me instead.

Doesn't bug me at all. I think it's more about where people are at in life vs the gap itself. Like I'd say I'm more mature than most people my age because of circumstances haha and I also wanted to experiment sexually last year so I started hooking up with older men. Just like guys my age, some are winners and some are losers. I met my current bf from a dating app and we spent nearly a year as FWB and escalated our relationship a few months ago now. He's 9.5 years older than me - though right now you'd think he's 10 years just because of where our bdays cross. But we have a great relationship and I never feel like "too young" with him and he never feels "too old." It's like I swear I feel like I'm 23ish instead of 19 and it's like he's 23 instead of 29 lol Does that make sense? I feel like so many of my friends we all feel either way older or younger... but With the maturity thing, like I am so busy with school and don't care about some of the more genz type things and have to be responsible so I think it just means I relate to people older than me.

mid-xmas movie quickie in the living room because I might have been teasing him like a feral lil brat lol

The closing date was midnight GMT and, unfortunately, the lock on all submissions came in moments later. Since it's a system-level change, none of us can override it. The button is missing for me too.

Sorry about that. But please consider submitting it in the new year anyway. We love well-written stories.

Oh shoot, I must have missed the time zone thing. I'll definitely still submit later - thanks for letting me know btw I really appreciate it. Happy Holidays to you and everyone

Oh tragic, I literally just finished my edit and I swear the button to submit for the competition just went away... I'm still going to submit my story but if there was any way it can be included in the competition submissions I would be soooo grateful. Working on getting it submitted for review right now. Just doing my cover pic

Edit: oop I can't submit it (still newer didn't know there's no submissions until the new year). If it is possible for me to sneak in a submission please let me know... I'm on PST time so I thought I had some time still lol

Just kissing and over clothes touching.

If you could go back and change ONE thing about the first time you had sex, what would it be?

🤷🏼‍♀️ garage/my bf truck before he left for work Sunday afternoon

Yes, but not elaborating on that because ~trauma~ lol

HYE stolen anything from a store/someone you know? (What was it...?)

purple wall

No lol I wanted to feel everything. Definitely not the most responsible choice but oh well

This is a fun forum, I think, creeping on what all of you are up to lol.

Right now, I'm waiting on a new series' first chapter to be approved; it's a "wife lovers" series. My vision for it is to follow the lives of 4 wives with different socioeconomic factors/marital hardships, and of course, their messy sex lives. It's kind of an experiment for me to see if I am good at writing characters older than myself. Just trying to branch out of my comfort zone. I've done some character and plot sketching, and so far I really like my concept and ideas, so we'll see if other people do too lol.

I also have two other fictional series in the works, both with two chapters published at this time. One being an IF series (which, I know, isn't everyone's vibe) following a family and well, you know. Then my other series is called "Sweet 16," and it's more about the awkwardness of first intimacy and navigating romantic/sexual relationships for the first time. I like my stories to have an essence of realness to them and also a bit of camp to them, and maybe play into stereotypes because who doesn't love a little bit of cringe? At least, that's how I think, anyway.

I rotate between writing chapter updates for these and exploring one-offs with flash erotica stories/my MRM series, which is based on true events. I really love writing short stories, and pushing myself to write within that 1000-word count is a lot of fun for me. I think for my next one I want to try something maybe more dark romance vibe... so I've been looking for inspiration there and trying to navigate the consent aspects of that since I know I want it to be more of a CNC vibe (again, totally get that's not everyone's thing).

Anyway, I'll stop babbling...

riding his lap in the front seat of his truck lol but he did all the work tbh

Ushership

I love that "somewhere on my college/uni campus" is a common trend... mine would be my uni's library and my high school band room & the 2nd story bathroom... oh, and my car, regardless of how busy the area I'm parked in is.

I wanted to write stories as a kid (I used to write nonsense stories when I was like three and "read" them to my grandma haha), and I still want to become a published author one day.

What is a fictional novel you read that changed your worldview on something?

Charts - Actors

Yeah, my Uni is very anti-AI programs, even Grammarly sometimes, with how bad things are. It literally feels like an epidemic. One saving grace is the "document/version history" feature on Google Docs/Word. Pretty easy to spot AI if someone just randomly pastes a story into their document. So, if someone were to be asked to prove they wrote something, they would show their document history to help aid in that.

Also, the point above about how you can tell it's AI-written by the structure/flow/etc... is really true. Everyone has their own writing "signature." It's why when you read more than one book/story by an author, you'll find they have the same "sound." It's also the thing that makes great writers excellent - when they can make their sound change, say, if they're writing from multiple characters' perspectives and whatnot. (Goals, to be honest)

I view my writing as "okay-good," but I still make lots of mistakes. I utilize the free version of Grammarly to catch the basic things (tense/punctuation). But I just wanted to say, the mods who have reviewed and approved my stories have been amazing. The fact that they take the time to point out mistakes made is something I appreciate because I genuinely want to be a great writer one day. These mods are doing the work that my professors do without the benefits (salary/etc), and it's admirable. I'd love to be a mod one day (I think... maybe...) to continue the current vibe.

Also, I'm still so new to the site, so I didn't realize there were recommendations for people to avoid "back-to-back" submissions... which I've been guilty of. I'll try not to do that so much, haha. I just submit when I have a story done. So, oopsies!
