Marius6: Blog

I regret not posting for quite a while.

I have continued to write, re-write, and self-edit.

Several of the people I have collaborated with have passed away, or are very sick. One of the people that used to give me rides has passed away. Another is very busy, and rarely able to help.

For at least a short time I will be able to get access to where I may upload some stories.

I would like someone to read over a short Stroke story. Basically a single scene about the making of a Porn Video.

Similar to most of my stories it is IR BM 19ish, and a wf 14. There are restraints, and some potentially "offensive language" "In the Script"

It is kind of an exercise in "Purple Prose"

I cut this scene out of a long story (or stories) I started in the 1990's, and recovered some years ago from an old hard drive. I thought this scene was a bit over the top... I cut it out, but kept it to practice writing "Pornographic Sex Scenes" Smut.

The scene verges on being humorous.

There is a second, follow on scene, but it isn't nearly ready.

Anyway, I think what I have is suitable to be posted as a Stroke scene.

Unfortunately, my deteriorating vision means I Don't always notice errors.

If I don't get someone willing to read this drek, I will probably post it in a week, and make corrections based upon comments.

Cheers!

What a Day! 10th of April 2026. The Artemis II and Crew returned safely to Earth.
And.
Jay Cantrell returned to SOL.

Both were long journeys, that a dedicated few have long awaited.

Both are more of a Beginning, with much to do before we can hope to read about their new adventures, and continuation of old and treasured hopes.

I am a fan of Both Returns!

Limophile blogged about Shaming and Down Voting better than I.

However, the subject is so important that I feel the need to Echo it.

What is posted on SOL is the WORK of Writers who provide Free Content for no compensation, or at least no cash (we can earn a limited Premium Membership; although many Purchase a Premium Membership to support this in many ways unique site).

If Writers are discouraged there will be Less Content!

"1 Bombing" is maddening and pathetic!

There are many stories I skip over based upon Tags such as Snuff, Scat, Beastiality, Analingus, and most M/m.

Elements of my writing probably don't "turn on" or even disgust some readers (Interracial, Prostitution, and Violence not part of the sex).

Just skip over stories that have a "Squick" for you.

I would not "demand" that Lazeez change the Voting system.

I do Urge that people consider their Votes. I almost never awarded a 10, and I believe the lowest I have voted is a 3.

I Down Vote (as in a 3 or 4) stories for excessive misspelled words, no paragraph breaks, difficult to read/understand sentences, missused words,, and poor grammar.

To me a 1 would have to be utterly incomprehensible, a single run on sentence resulting in a wall of text, and so many misspelled words and absence of grammar that I am no longer sure what language it is written in.

There are many ways to Find or Avoid stories on SOL, Score is only one. Tags, Reviews, and sections of the Forums.

Vote your conscious, however, please save the 1s and 2s for things that are really poorly written, displaying no effort to check spelling, nor to make it readable.

If you don't want to read the content, skip it, don't down vote without reading it.

We enjoy Content here because people post their stories for us to read for Free! Of course, I urge people to purchase a Premium Membership, and to purchase stories on Bookapy 😉

I have read all of the Stupid Boy and Better Man books.

I think today's update November 3rd 2022, is one of the best.

It portrays a number of gifted individuals, determined to succeed, and learning from each other how to become better.

What I like about these stories is that no matter how accomplished any character is, they can and do make mistakes. The more clever characters continue to Learn.

I enjoy multiple aspects of these stories. Improbable? Yes. I can't think of any one person who has done all that; certainly not in High School and College.

NFL Quarterbacks Tom Brady, John Elway, and perhaps Russell Wilson and Warren Moon have displayed aspects of the MC.

Steve Largent, an NFL Wide Receiver, Congressman, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, also has aspects (and may be where the character is going).

Pat Tillman, if he had lived, might have done some of the things the Better Man might.

What I find realistic about these stories is how and why individuals succeed.

HARD WORK!

That is what is often depicted in this series.

Not all of the characters are as gifted. They do achieve more than they might because they become more determined to work harder and improve.

I found this to often be true in the USA Armed Forces. Improving oneself by working Smarter and Harder, often resulting in success!

I know men bigger, tougher, faster, smarter, etc. than myself, Quit! I achieved things they did not, because I persevered!

Today's update of a Better Man provides some more examples of characters striving to be better.

Most of us won't have fantastical success. However, we could Achieve More, if we continue to Learn and Strive!

I have become a better writer because of things I have learned from folks on SOL!

I have brought this story into Public, from behind the Paywall.

I will keep it Public through Veterans Day.
