lol yes HorseRenoir, you have given me some great in put and feedback I've been so busy with my femcirc fiction that I now find myself missing your insight for all matters male on male castration

No worries Kynetic, feel free to message me whenever. As far as the storyline I'm working on now I'm rather partial towards the ladies' input but if you have any suggestions for The Sisterhood feel free to fire away After this it's back to Camp Purity which will serve as a platform to deliver the full gambit of tags this site

Feel free to run anything past me, either castration related, fem circ or otherwise. I'd be happy to help.

Let's try and keep the thread buzzing with activity. Who wants some help brainstorming an idea or two? Remember, you get help, you give help

I'm going to read your work tomorrow to get a feel for your writing style and themes; I've been so busy lately that finding the time to even write has been difficult lol. Brainstorming is definitely going to be my word of the day tomorrow as I continue to struggle to create a fitting finale for my clit cutters.

Thank you once again for your feedback, Kynetic, I hope to repay the kindness soon

Don't mention it, Martineasy. I'm glad to help

Thanks Kynetic01 for starting this discussion.

I've been pondering something like this myself. My problem is that it seems any suggestions or even critique I offer (in other online contexts) are seen as critical or otherwise overly negative. I've been burned before, so I try not to do much.

But the general suggestion idea might change that dynamic somewhat.

As for why the reduction in the number of stories: I think it is directly related to requiring passwords and restricting the search engines. I think I understand why the change was made, but I'm not sure how to overcome the "wall" that this creates. Plus the trend in society is for consuming, not creating. ... Or perhaps any newcomers have better insight they'd like to share, or suggestions for ways to get more traffic?

I will leave this here, and see if I can find someone who thinks alike as me.

Without sounding like a crazy person, I really enjoy gore stories where there's a lot of destruction, it's a thrill to read about how a strong male being reduced into nothing.

I want to read stories with a "bad" ending for the main character(s). I want to see the bad guy wins and turn the world in chaos.

For authors, I would love to see more taunts and humiliations in stories. The basic would be a cocky alpha male losing his manhood to an inferior man, and being made fun of during the whole process, or even have his once superior manhood kept on display as a reminder that he had fallen.

Surprisingly there's not much published stories with these themes at all. I can only name "Big Tony's bad day in the gym" on top of my head as an example.

But as I write casually, I can "kinda" understand not wanting to push too far in a story, I don't want to make the story too violent/degrading to the point it's uncomfortable for most readers. And I have a tendency of making my stories a "happy" ending where my characters are at peace and content, even satisfied with their "transformation".

Although I want to read stories where the characters are destroyed and devastated.

Would be nice to find a writer(s) with similar mindset who has little to no limits and enjoy gores too.

(Of course everything is just purely fantasy with no ill intention in reality)

@Gellyfregy;

I've had that happen to me more than once. some people can be a bit touchy when they think you are ripping apart their story, when in actual fact you're only giving feedback. Generally though I find this to be rare as most people can tell the difference between the two. I'd like to think more writers are mature enough to accpet advice and critique without throwing a hissy fit because you didn't shower them with praise for their outstanding piece of work.

Please feel free to be yourself and contribute as you wish in this thread. I had hoped this would be an positive and constructive place to share ideas and advice on story topics.

As long as the topics discussed are constructive and positive then it's all good.

@Helton;

I hear you on that one. Most new writers tend to write what they think people want to read about and not what the really want. I say write the stories you WANT to write. If it was me, I'd leave a detailed synopsis at the top explaining that the content may be seen as more "extreme" than the average story. That way it's up to the reader to decide if it's for them.

Bottom line is, write what you want to write!

"a city council filled with prima donnas"

Kynetic01 makes a good point.

Over the years, I've had many a prima donna either blow up, or leave in a huff when simple suggestions were made.

Story reviews and constructive criticism are two very different things, and not all authors want the latter. They just want the former - reviews, and good ones.

Not to name names, but two authors come to mind. One would have been very prolific, if 9 out of 10 of the things he submitted hadn't gone right into the trash can!

No kidding - it would take me up to an hour to fix one of his stories for spelling, grammar, and even changing the protagonist's name midpoint because he was (apparently?) too busy fapping along with one hand while typing with the other. Then there were the off-topic stories.

I suggested a beta reader, a spell checker, and an outline before beginning the story. Believe it or not, I was quite polite about it. Some of the stories would have been quite good, if they just hadn't been such a literal mess; and I told him that. I also had to draw the line saying that I could not continue to edit his stuff, and would not post unreadable stories. I still remember the incomprehensible email I got stating that he'd never post a story again. At least, I think that was what he meant. He never posted again, though.

I should also note that editing isn't a problem, usually, but I can't devote hours to just a couple of stories. Some of 'his', above, I was almost having to rewrite to make sense of them, which created another problem, too.

Another author received a rather harsh (but true) comment from another prolific author here. And the comment maker was dead-on.

In short, the stories were novels that were simply too long and made books like THE STAND look like pulp magazines. Also, they were difficult for the average reader to read and enjoy.

While they had great characters and plot, the length and "adverb abuse" did them in. The author was also upset by lack of feedback. Well, welcome to MY world, buddy! It's an age-old problem here. One can't really leave a glowing review when one is too busy tripping over unnecessary verbiage and complex grammar.

My advice is that if you can't criticism, don't send in a story. When someone does offer it, accept it graciously.

Exactly point on! As a new writer, I kinda fall into the category where I try accommodate what I think most readers want. Not trying to sound untruthful to my stories, I do find great enjoyment writing them

But I just can't seem to capture what I want to "r

I can echo on that! I was chatting with an author privately, and sent him an unreleased story of mine asking for feedback. In return his "suggestions" would have completely changed the plots/meaning of the story, I didn't take it offensively because I knew he meant well.

But it felt awkward where I wrote a story, and the feedback was to rewrite it into a completely different one. (He did like the story but he had his own vision too, without taking consideration on I spent my time plotting and writing it out.)

Beside that, all the feedback I have received are all very supportive!
