Writer's little secret

[Cat_in_the_box]

As an 18+ content author, my greatest fear is for my relatives to find out that I have been writing a bunch of degenerate story. Question for authors here, are you guys open to your family about the story you've been writing?

 

[RepresentingEnvy]

My grandma said, "you should show me the story you are writing." I said, "it has lesbian vampire sex." She didn't ask to see it again.

 

[IshiharaNiaoka]

I lies to my mum my story is a Hero story when it's just about a crazy villain

 

[Corty]

I was never ashamed of my hobbies. Sooo... nope. No secrets here.

 

[Bobple]

Its not 18+ but, I do tell them I write. I'm too not interested in letting them read it, cause first story so not that good. They aren't too interested either, sooooo I guess that works out.

I have given them plot details before though.

My closest relatives don't speak english. They wanted to read and I obviously wanted them to as well, but translating is an enormous amount of work. I have my hands more than full with basic editing at that. It's quite sad. They don't want to read autotranslation. And I'm not sure I want them to do that as well. Other than that, I want anyone to read, provided they speak the language. I just want to present the piece I myself am confident with. Something that's probably impossible to do xD.

Not a story, but I wouldn't show my NSFW art to anyone but me/my client.

no cuz i write GOOD erotic shit. Like, i aint ashamed of people finding out im good at writing sex. That i can type out a more intense, gratifying fuck than they've ever experienced themselves.

Why, do you write pedo shit or something? Furry?....Belly button? Cuz i can respect two out of three of those

My grandma said, "you should show me the story you are writing." I said, "it has lesbian vampire sex." She didn't ask to see it again.

your grandma is not based or a woman of culture. Shame.
Lesbian vampire sex is pretty hot. Especially if they can fly. Imagine scissoring or 69-ing while 400 feet in the air surrounded on all sides by skyscrapers. Anyone who sees thinks they're tripping and the thought of being seen just makes you even wetter.

Imagine creaming on your vampire lover's face as your ride them from some impossible height, knowing that the only thing separating you from falling and splattering on the ground is their supernaturally powerful arms supporting you. Tsk. I'm hard just thinking about it smh

With my religious family? Lol no.

I even plan to abandon this name if I ever write something clean. Smut writers are looked down upon.

My mom reads porn.
I do not write porn.
My mom does not want to read my non-porn story.

She does find it cool that I'm writing a story, though, and that so many people actually read the thing. She asks about it every now and then. What she doesn't know is that I have a Reddit profile. We don't talk about the Reddit profile.

 

[Rhaps]

My family knows I'm a writer, so I just tell them I write a story. They don't seem to care much.

 

[K_Jira]

I'm open about my story to my close friend circle, but not to my family. Oh god, no. Not with the BL I'm writing since my family is religious and conservative. I'm sure they'll send me to an exorcist

 

[ACertainPassingUser]

Is there even any positive situational, reputational, social, or monetary benefit if you tell your family about what you've been doing ?

Always invest in proper security measures against your private stuff.

 

[TotallyHuman]

I wouldn't tell a second soul that can personally identify me that I know here, what are you talking about

I even asked my parents and sibling to read it and give me an opinion. So I don't care.

 

[Deleted member 54065]

My family, my students (former) and even my co-workers know I write.

And I don't give a damn if they don't like my genre.

I'm sure it would be way less of a shock than people imagine
Every parent just comes to terms with their kid's deviancy once they're, maybe, 16-22, depending on how puritanical the parents are.
To actively want to share that kind of stuff is insane tho, nobody wants to know the dirty details of your web fiction, they're not asking what you write about because they really want to know, its for small talk and to connect better

Hell no. If they ask, I'll go into light detail. But I know that none of my grandparents truly want to read about an utterly insane, cannbalistic and self-harming trans individual.

That's what charisma is about? Have you updated that summary yet?
