Well I've been reading the audience here on Big Closet. The desire here seems to be for tamer content than on TGStories, or Fictionmania. That's cool and all, but I am writing porn here. And the parts of 11th Sun with XXX in the title are the most read.
I think what I'm gonna do here is post tomorrow with the trip to Target, and the bra fitting, because that's porn for a certain kind of person. Then I'll put up the next chapter immediately, instead of on Friday, which is the part where she masturbates for the first time, which is porn for another kind of person.
Yeah. And I'm trying to get as much of this out as I can, because all the comments are a wonderful ego boost for me.
I'm sorry, but she doesn't join the crew for another five chapters. It's following the flow of the story, and Aisling has a lot of character to develop before I can just throw her into school.
And yet, the porn chapter has 150 more views than the other one. Well.
Comments
Porn ?
I tend to screen for good, believable writing, so first female clothing is nothing to me, aside from the fact that we all have that experience. Sadly, many of us engage in purging, at least at first. These days, I try not to give two shits what others think. They either like what you write or not.
To me, the premise of the story is unique and interesting. It's all I need.
Stories that are too centered on the early TG experience have grown boring to me, though I can understand how some are taken by that. For many of us, the vicarious female life they have in print is the closest they will ever get to being female.
Purging as in... wait, no
I'm not getting rid of any single scene unless I feel like the story needs it. I'm just separating the sex scene from the rest of the narrative so that people can skip it if they want to.
Just post it
It's fine. Don't worry about it, you won't be censored. Just understand that some people may choose not to read it and you can't force them to. Just put ample warning that it's that kind of story and nobody will be unhappy. I know in other websites (such as literotica) there would be people commenting shit just because they don't like you or your stories, but here everyone tries to not step on each other's toes on purpose.
You can include one of the 'caution' tags or add a custom tag, such as the 'smut' tag that I just created for my story CrossxHealer despite how the sex scene will only appear in the later chapters lol
I Don't Think You Should Be too Concerned
My casual observation is that stories with explicit sex in them still tend to get plenty of reads but not a lot of comments. I think people here like sex just fine, but don't necessarily want to talk about it (with some exceptions). Warn readers in the header and you should be fine.
Appropriate tags
Appropriate tags are everything. For some the tags are advertising that attract them to a story. For others, they are a warning as to what stories they'd rather not read. Either way, you do your readers a favor by tagging the story for all content. Once that's done, what ever you post is all for you, and it's gravy if you get a following who like to read it.
