Everything and everyone that Lush has brought me.
Dear You,
What part of "I don't want to talk about it" don't you understand? Did you mis-hear the "don't" and thought I said "do"? Because I effing didn't. You might be my favourite one, but that still gives me no reason to want to discuss it with you. It's none of your business. It's bad enough I had to tell you anything at all, but I had no choice. And if I won't tell the other two when they question me indepth about it, why would I tell you? I don't care that you're nosy, and that you supposedly care, and that you tell me in detail what you've all had to have done, I don't want to tell you! It's none of your sodding business! And when I go all quiet and look at the floor trying not to cry, that's another way of telling you, I don't want to fucking talk about it!
And whilst we're at it, telling me all the horror stories you know and telling me that at least I don't have to deal with what my mum did does not help. I still have to do it. This is getting to be more fucking hassle than it's worth. And for what? At this point in time I can't see any benefits at all, not for me or anybody else. But I know that the trauma and past dredged up this far makes it not worth me jacking it in now - it will all have been for nothing and I can't bear to have it weighing on my mind.
But I'm still not going to fucking tell you the fucking sodding details, so shut the fuck up!
Yours Very Upsetterly,
Me.
And Dear Other You,
Fuck off! Fuck off Fuck off Fuck off!
I wish I could have charged you double just for the fucking ugly attitude.
Yours Fuckoffingly,
Me.
Just a reminder, the category/fantasies/discussion is not allowed to be discussed in the forums.
HighDesert, not all women have fantasies. Yes, the majority of women do, and as 1ball says, reading some of the stories will help.
Perhaps your lass is very, very shy, or too embarassed to share what she like. Maybe she doesn't know what she likes. Maybe she only wants to make you happy, and sharing your fantasies is what she wants. Perhaps she isn't comfortable doing it, and would rather just have fun as you are in real life.
Why not actually say what you concern is to her, that you are worried you aren't meeting her needs, or fulfilling her fantasy? Or have you considered that she's telling the truth, and she does like what you;re coming up with? (arf arf)
Maybe you could let her read some of the stories on here, and see if she likes them? And then offer to act out one with her? Or you could watch some porn together and see if she likes that?
Perhaps you could get her to write some key words that make her feel wiggly? And then see if you can create a scenario based around that?
I don't know very much about lads' sexual fantasies, but I do think the only difference between men and women's fantasies, generally, is the sex of the person creating it. People are widely varied in their tastes (in more ways than one, ha ha), and what works for one might not for another, no matter if they are the same sex or not.
I think it's wonderful you are worried about whether she is getting what she needs, but I do think that if she isn't forthcoming with any details, then trying to understand why that is, rather than just trying to coax some out of her or blindly trying to find them, may not be the way forward.
My own fantasy is very simple. Guy fancies me, wants to be with me, does rudies with me. It's that simple. Other friends I have on here have much more intricate fantasies, which no doubt they will be happy to share with you, if they haven't already through their stories.
I have recently written a story where my characters speak like me and my friends. I set the scene in my Home city, and when I write, I submerge myself into the world as best I can. The original intention with this story was to record the audio straight after, to go hand in hand with it. Sadly (in my own head), that has not been managed yet.
I wanted to make the story as realistic as possible, and for me, that includes how my characters speak. I wanted my story to be "home". But in writing, it comes across very differently. According to a person (who I think is fabulous), the written accents within my story made them lose the writing. In essence, it ruined it. Another friend has also just admitted they had to go back and read some of the sentences again.
I do wonder if the audio might have changed their mind, but when all is said and done, a written story is a written story. It become something very different when we change the style of delivery. This is the second story I have written in accented form (if that's the technical words for it?), but there was more narration in the other, so it wasn't as pronounced.
Personally, I love to read dialogue in other accents. A good writer gets me reading in the characters' accents as I go along, so I actually hear the Southern drawl in "Roots" in my head, etc.
I always think, though, to be serious, a writer cannot improve if they don't know anything is wrong.
So I would like to know, do you find accents, dialects and colloquialisms within stories a hindrance? Does it help if you actually know the accent to be able to read "in" it? Or do you not like it at all?
And should I go back and re-edit my story to read like "normal" writing? (But if I do that, I'm putting a disclaimer to say people aren't allowed to read the main characters with posh Southern accents in their head, because it's Wrong.) I'd hate to have to "butcher" something I hold dear (silly as an accent might seem to you!), but if it will make me a better writer, I will do it.
Thank you for any helpful replies you can give me.
