You get either a medal, or help (if I lived closer).

 

haha, this actually gave me an idea for another writing article for my blog: the difference between "true" stories and nonfiction.

I did come across an interesting little blog article where an editor talks about how the lines of what is "true" and what is "false" gets blurred in writing. If you are interested, you can read the article here:

*not_secure_link*www.book-editing.com/articles/ajsobczak1.shtml

I just love all the different takes on writing that different writers and authors have.

 

Excellent article - thanks for posting it.

 

I realize that every word isn't factual but I would think the main focus of your story was based on a real event. I wouldn't expect you to write a story of your father abusing you and have you fabricate the whole thing then label it as true.

A child molestation story may say she loved it and orasmed many times, when in fact she hated it and was crying the whole time, but the main point of the story (the rape) really did happen.

Of course *SPAM**SPAM**SPAM**SPAM* stories are about how the child enjoyed it and in the end asks "When can we do this again". They can't tell how it destroyed the child's life, how a happy little girl become with drawn and antisocial. That doesn't feed there need.

ejls you appear to be the spoke person for the writers, do you believe they are all saints? That all these stories are 100% fiction? I get the feeling you would take a pedophiles side over a victims as long as the *SPAM**SPAM**SPAM**SPAM* wrote a story about it.

I percentage of the population are rapist and pedophiles, and I would think on a site like this the percentage is double or triple the average. So you think everyone that writes these stories are saints?

I heard it a million times "Fantasy" OK fine have your "Fantasy" but when you call it a true story the writer intent is to say it was NOT A FANTASY!

 

We all get what you are trying to say. I personally do not like the idea of stories involving children being labeled as 'true.' I personally do not think that this site should allow such stories to be labeled as 'true stories' even if they are. But I am not in charge of this site.

You brought up the question on whether or not a story being labeled as 'true' is a confession. Only the poster knows that. For that matter, there is no guarantee that the writer is not writing about a story he heard from someone else rather than events he actually participated in. There is also the strong possibility that the author of the story is writing about another story he read. Does it make the story any less true? No, but you can't hold a person responsible for a crime simply because he wrote a story about something he heard. You have no way of knowing if the story that is 'true' happened to the author, if it was a story he heard, or something he ripped off from another author. And therein lies the problem. There is absolutely no proof that what was written actually happened, even if it were labeled as a true story. Unless there is a victim to come forward and launch formal complaints, there is absolutely no proof that the story is true other than a writer labeling it as such.

As I writer, I understand why authors label their stories as such even when 99% of it is false. I also understand the simple concept that writers embellish. If you are not a writer, then you may not be able to grasp this simple concept. Deception is a ploy that writers use all the time. I'm sorry if you seem to be having a hard time accepting that fact. What readers often times forget is that writing is an art form. We use words to paint a picture. And if we think marketing something as 'true' will make our novel a bigger hit, then you bet your ass we'll do it. That's why authors poke fictional stories in a category labeled 'true' when 99% of the storyline didn't happen. Because it sells. Or in the case of XN, it gets the author noticed and his stories read. And once again, there is absolutely no proof other than a label on a porn site that the story actually happened.

I was reading an article that stated readers were completely outraged when they learned that the book A Million Little Pieces by James Frey was mostly fabricated by the author (the book was marketed as personal memoirs about his life as a drug addict, alcoholic, and criminal). Why were they outraged? Because readers assumed that since it was labeled as a true story that every event was true. But as I pointed out, writers know that writers will embellish stories for impact and entertainment. Readers, unfortunately, just do not understand this.

Bottom line, if you are so concerned, take it up with the owners of the site because there is absolutely nothing any of us can do about it. I'd be interested to know what they tell you.

 

Well 33, I do not consider myself a spokesperson for all writers - but I do speak out when I feel like it. I'm so very glad you would be "willing" to keep those stories labeled fantasy. Personally, I've never used that tag. I am also aware there are writers who use no tags at all. And if you figure the authorities are already monitoring this site, then I guess your complaints are moot. If they found evidence of a crime, surely they would contact the administration for the member information.

Tell me 33, you have written this up and presented it to the administrators of the site, haven't you? Because you do realize that there are no moderators on the Sex Stories Site. The only way to get any kind of response regarding your feelings is to contact them directly.

Again Nicola, well said.

 

Why are you so focused on *SPAM**SPAM**SPAM**SPAM* stories, why not Bestiality or Rape or Murder or Torture or even Snuff stories. As any of these could be labelled as "true stories" so why are you not complaining about these....

Because the way it looks is that as far as you are concerned, some-one could write a Rape or Murder story and label it as "true" and you are not bothered. But if some-one wrote a Young story and labelled it as "true" then you want them banned...

Rape and Murder is just as wrong as any Pedophile behaviour and if you find 1 disgusting then you should find them all disgusting. But the way you are coming across is, it is fine to write a Rape or Murder story and label it "true" because it does not involve children...

 

haha, just like you to add things to the post, someone picks up a subject you have to add to it rofl, it that the best you can do? with the same context you are saying it is okay to have true stories about the victimization of children.

advocating a story stated as true, it is the very same as advocating the crime itself.

advocating crimes indicate your advocate the holocaust, ethnic cleansing and other crimes against humanity.

why hold anyone accountable, why delete spam? that is freedom of speech.

if a true story is nothing but embellishments then why is a confession admissible in court?

why would anyone support the bragging/enjoyment of a true narrative of a crime?

 

You know what else was labeled a "true story"?

The Blair Witch Project

Return of the Living Dead Pt. 1

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Are you seeing my point?

You're a twat.

 

I just dug thru some of 33's thread and it seems like all he ever talks about is pedos. He's OBSESSED with pedos and pedophilia! It's sort of CREEPY actually!

 

In the same context you are saying its fine to, MURDER and RAPE Humans also ABUSE animals. Just so long as children are not involved. You cannot have one without the other.
Also as for the OP's question, how do we as individuals know what the author is thinking, and what they want us to think.
Some Authors will title the story true to get a higher reading count and rating, as this is a well known advertising ploy.
Just because the Author says its true does not make it so, and you have no proof either way.

 

nope, never said that, i said "advocating a story stated as true, it is the very same as advocating the crime itself." would you like to regurgitate anything else i said? where is your creative thought?

true = real, reliable, sincerely felt or expressed, rightful, legitimate ect.......

real = being or occurring in fact or actuality, true and actual; not imaginary, alleged or ideal. genuine and authentic; not artificial or spurious. being no less than what is stated. free of pretense, falsehood, or affectation. ect............


story = an account or recital of an event or a series of events and the background information regarding something, ect.......

account = a narrative or record of events, a report relating to one's conduct, ect.............

narrative = an account, report, or story, as of events, experiences, etc......


Fiction or Nonfiction: True or False? By A. J. Sobczak (the link posted by Nicola Matthews)

how many more are going to jump at this article as your holy grail? Sobczak said........."As I see it"........that means opinion based.

apparently the word embellishment is not understand, would you like a dictionary?

why do you insist on rationalizing someone that claims to commit a crime?

what is it you fear?

exculpation is sad.

 

The Blair Witch Project ? at the sundance film festival in january 1999, the film was categorized as a horror movie.

"based on a true story"
"inspired by a true story"

understanding words and their meanings must be the running theme today on this thread!

and you called him a twat rofl......
i can't finish replying to this i'm laughing so hard......

hmmm you been on xnxx for 7 days and have 5 threads about underage sex already. talk about obsessed!

why are you feeling threatened? is your story true?

can't you distinguish fantasy from reality?

 

I am just curious as to WHY you and 33 have to keep almost insisting that *SPAM**SPAM**SPAM**SPAM* behaviour, is the only type of behaviour that is wrong...

Where-ever 33 goes, he has to bring *SPAM**SPAM**SPAM**SPAM* behaviour into his discussions and you follow him like a lap-dog..

People like you and 33 are the biggest hypocrites on this forum, as you keep spouting the same old story that *SPAM**SPAM**SPAM**SPAM* stories, whether labelled true, fiction or fantasy, should be banned along with the authors. But you totally miss all the other stories that involve illegal and morally wrong activities...

As stated before I find gay (male-male) stories repulsive, I also find rape and muder stories equally repulsive. Regardless of whether they are tagged as true or fiction or even fantasy, I do not read them...

If a person labels a story as "true" but then writes "names and places have been changed." You can bet your life that the story is NOT "true."
Same applies to all the stories that are labelled "true" but as you read through the story, you can see big errors in body shape or language skills...
Also unless you were actually with the author as they did the act, that they write about. You have absolutely NO proof that the story is "true" apart from the author saying so. This calls for you to make a balanced and well-judged decision based on your own personal opinion...

To even hammer this point home further and as simple as I can, for you to understand.

There is a member of this forum who, in their opinion, thinks that my wife is ugly. But there are also other members who disagree with him, now who is right and who is wrong because it is a judgement based solely on a persons definition and opinion of what is ugly...

Same goes for any story labelled "true", what YOU personally may believe to be a "true" story some-one else may say "total bullshit."

 

duh, i feel that this subject has merit.

you can't stay on a subject.

so you just admitted that all a writer does is lie. and words mean nothing.

you just stated every written word is a lie.

your making excuses plan and simple.

who forced them to post/submit an account admitting to their crimes, that should not be an accepted in any walk of life.

if a true story is nothing but embellishments then why is a confession admissible in court? (you still can't answer the question, what a surprise)

these things are not based solely on a persons definition!

hypocrite for following the thread topic, that is rich.

you can not separate or distinguish your personal interests from what is right or wrong.

(i can separate your personal attacks and still stay focused on the topic, that was weak and real immature of you)

 

I think there is some underlying grudges that are colouring the comments.

True, false, take everything with a grain of salt then decide.

 

Because a confession HAS to be witnessed and signed that the statement is TRUE...
You can't answer the question of the idea that UNLESS you were there at the time of the act, HOW do you know that the story is TRUE...

The acts you speak of are wrong, but unless you are there at the time they were said to be done, HOW do you know that they are true..
Make a balanced judgement based on your thoughts and opinions..

If you had bothered to READ my comment and not just pick-out what suits your arguement, I have never said that every written word is a lie...

This subject may have merits, but so do many others, why do you NOT bring them into your argument..Because all this does is make you look like an obsessed troll, who has something to hide

 

outside the edit time limit

You may read a story that is labelled "true" and belive it to be so, others may read the same story and think "bullshit.."
Who is right and who is wrong....

 

Have to agree. Why else would they bother stating it as 'true' if they didn't want you to believe this.

 

like diving makes you mad, what are you wearing......give me break,
you are in the same threads posting so what does that make you?

so it can be witness, they just witnessed a story being written right? it's not like they where there at the time of the act, so how could that be true?

they put the work and effort into it and to posted it as a truthful story of a crime. it wasn't a spur of the moment thing. simple as that.

what reason would I have to try to make excuses for someone's confession to a crime and to cover it up?

if the author of one of the "true stories" that speaks of a crime committed, took that story to the police station what would happen? how would the police view it?
