The Great Collaboration

–

This is why few sex stories have everything you want and there are only a handful of great collaborations.

My laptop made a ‘ding’ as I received a message from ‘Authorwench’. She was my favorite writer, other than myself. “Hi again, Limnophile. I enjoyed your latest story quite a bit. We should collaborate. I think we could do something truly great together!”

I smiled and excitedly replied, “I’d love to write something with you! What kind of story should it be?”

I got up to get a snack and returned to see, “Mind control, incest, and BDSM are very popular these days; and many readers have other fetishes. There are a lot of LGBTQ+ people too. I think we should include everything we can, so lots of readers will enjoy it.”

I responded, “That makes sense. To include most of the common fetishes we’ll need at least 18 or 20 characters. What format and point of view do you think we should we use?”

“Multiple POV is getting more popular these days. I think we should tell at least five chapters from each character’s viewpoint. A lot of readers complain if chapters are short, too. I think we should do at least 20 pages per chapter.”

“Hmmm… if we do a hundred chapters with twenty pages each, that’s two thousand pages. With my family and job, I only have time to write or edit two or three pages a day.
