Cut the bullshit about only taking one creative writing class during your undergrad. Even an undergrad english major has to learn character development, regardless of it referring to the great literary masters. I'm not surprised that you used a masters in english to become a technical writer.

Then you go on about how you aren't looking for anyone else to publish or read this story? Then thee story is just for you so who cares what the public thinks anyway?

Dude, you are all over the map with your "reasons" so stop acting insulted because you can't even be consistent about why you asked for it in the first place.

A first year journalism student would have had the sense to ask, "I'm looking to write something on BDSM and although I'm interested in trying it, without first hand experience, can someone offer suggestions where I can get ideas?" the reponses would have been completely different.

No, you essentially come and say you lack enough imagination to create your female character can people send you pictures. If you lack the ability to know how to proof read your work and ensure consistency, then nothing anyone else does short of writing it for you is going to help.

And yes, I am fully aware of what a "muse" is and also know it can't be found begging women on kink site to send you pictures.ou lack the ability to know how to proof read your work and ensure consistency, then nothing anyone else does short of writing it for you is going to help.

If you just want to be insulting, fine. I simply answered the question that was asked. I know absolutely nothing about RL group meetings, and what little impression I had of them is that they were for swingers or related-type activities.

A friendly introduction to them would have been nice, but I guess that's beneath some people who nevertheless feel compelled to make assumptions and troll (badly) with insults that wouldn't work on a middle-school playground.

OK.  You're on the General BDSM Discussion board.  At the top of this section in the Frequently Asked Questions link, is the following information:

Find Munches/Events In Your Area

To find public BDSM events in your area check the Upcoming Events section or click the link below to see what’s available in your area.
http://www.bdsmresourceguide.com/munchesandgroups.html

Munches are not swingers events.  It's a group of kinky people who gather at a vanilla location at a determined time and place, usually to get together for dinner.  Think of it as a meet and greet.  If you are interested in what happens at munches, there are some very good threads in the archives right here on these boards from people asking what they should expect at their first munch.  Not really something that I should expect to have to explain to *anybody* who has "Master" as part of their screen name, but there you go.

My forum name is from a cartoon. Obviously for a BDSM site that's not the first connotation for it but that's all it is, nothing more, nothing less.

I never said I wasn't going to publish it. I said I simply wasn't trying to become an "established" one - i.e., I'm not pretending to be a serious writer or contributor, just someone who might post a story from time to time as the fancy takes me. I just felt like writing a story, couldn't figure out how I wanted a character to look, and - again, read the OP - asked if people knew of any galleries that matched the generic description I gave. I said in the OP that I wasn't looking for anyone to send me pics or do pics expressly for me.

I took one class nearly 15 years ago. I say that only because the people in this thread seem to think I'm pretending to be some sort of 'real' writer. I never mentioned "muses" or anything else. Never claimed to be doing anything other than writing a story and looking for some pics that might help me decide on a character's physical traits. I don't care how anyone else does their writing - I'm not looking to be a part of the apparent 'literati' on this site. I joined, started learning more about a particular subset, which in turn made me feel like writing a story.

I thought I was doing people a favor by not writing a 10 paragraph outline of experience (or lack thereof), motivation, and every single facet of my writing credentials (or lack thereof). I guess I'm naive to think that it was enough to just say "hey, I could really use some inspiration, anyone know of any galleries of small bratty types? I've tried looking myself but I don't seem to have this site nav down straight yet and aren't finding much."

I guess I'm also naive enough to think an average person's response would be either "yeah, here's a few", or "what aren't you getting about the profile search engine?" or "dude, don't worry about nailing every detail, just focus on the action". You know, helpful suggestions about my original request. Or, simply "not my thing" or "I've nothing to offer" and just not bother posting. Wasn't expecting the butt-hurt from alleged pros who can't do much more than crack 7th grade jokes about masturbation, standard intarweb Google-fu jokes, and bloviate about their own apparent writing genius.

But hey, that's fine, whatever helps people sleep at night. I'm just glad I was lucky that poise responded before the thread was made useless.

Took a class FIFTEEN years ago on creative writing? So you took a class your freshmen year in college, or more likely your senior year in high school. BUT you want us all to believe you have a Master's Degree in English. You must really think that the people on this site are really stupid and can't put two and two together. Because you see, we ARE able to spot CONSISTENCY in posts, and you can't even seem to tell what you "claim" to be the truth with any consistency.

Dude, face it, you came here looking for something and if you even passed high school english it wasn't because you were able to get your point across in writing. You want to learn how to write? Sign up for a fucking class, and this time pay attention to what the instructor tells you! Better yet, try to peddle your bullshit over at literotica.com. Those people will be only too happy to give you tons of advice. Of course, a good number of them suck at writing just as much as you probably do, but hey, you never said you wanted *good* advice.

When you joined and posted an intro, *I* gave you the website URL of the largest kink group in town.  If you really wanted to know more, you could have visited it and read the code of conduct.  You'd know there are no cameras or other recording deviced allowed, a street-legal dress code unless there's a play event, and that new people are welcome to ask one of the officers for introductions.

As for the three hour driving issue - sorry, I just find six hours of driving in a day or weekend for something I wasn't terribly interested in to begin with to not be much appealing. *shrugs*

OTOH, I do find it terribly interesting how such allegedly more intelligent and better skilled writers are wasting their time on a thread they don't seem to like debating a person they don't seem to respect using 5th-grade insults and wildly inaccurate ideas about what constitutes a Master's in English these days.

instead of asking about them, though, you chose to ask for wank material..   well done.

LafayetteLady, I take exception to your statement. I'm not sure what your point was, exactly, other than to simply insult the poster, but I also have a Master's degree in English and currently work as a technical writer.

Just FYI, in case it matters, I obtained my Master's degree in order to teach at the college level, found that it didn't pay squat, and therefore changed my career path.

So is that a bad thing?
