Hi, hello! It's me again!
If you've seen my name on here in the last week or so, you probably know I'm a quite awkward newbie script writer, with a slight obsession with monster girls, bilingualism and mouths, along with a few other things.
When I finally decided to write my first script, I figured that my casual but constant lurking would have given me enough of an idea of how I should act, and what I should and shouldn't do. I had noticed that this was much, much more than a pseudo-organized audio porn site, which made me equal parts incredibly happy and terribly curious.
I am quite reserved and awkward in real life too, and always have had slight issues adapting to new environments (finding people to connect with, for example). I'm almost sure I'm not the only one with that problem here. However, this may just be because I'm on the other end of the spectrum, but I feel like it is quite a bit easier to start as a performer than as a script writer.
I sometimes find it hard to see my scripts as something other than glorified requests. I write about what I like, plop it onto a Pastebin and hope that at least one performer likes it enough to fill it, which will hopefully mean that listeners will enjoy it as well. I often find comments on audios about the aspects that people like, but I don't often see those on script offers, especially on those from new writers such as myself. A lot of the time, I'm almost hoping for some criticism rather than (or apart from) a fill.
Before this, I had NEVER dared to write anything more than a few silly blog posts. Definitely nothing even close to this, even for myself. I don't have too much "hands on experience", if you catch my meaning. I appreciate that people take the time to upvote my scripts, and every single point makes me so happy, because it means I've managed to help a person have a good time for a few minutes. But sometimes I'd like to connect more with those people, to know what they liked and didn't like, to have a conversation with someone who enjoys the fantasies I make up, to know that there are people behind the usernames and audios and other scripts. And I know that this happens on here, and this is why I am so happy that this community is as open as it is. I love the idea of questionnaires on here, and that seems to be a huge networking point for performers, and I just wonder what the best way to engage with the community as a writer would be.
I realize this may sound like I'm trying to speak for every writer out there and whine about our situation, but it is NOTHING like that. I'm sure that many writers have never faced this insecurity and were perfectly capable of finding their way in. However, I'm also almost completely sure that I'm not the only one who has gotten a bit lost and doesn't quite know how to engage other members of this community in a way that will be appropriate and fulfilling to everyone involved. More than once I've found a somewhat old audio that I thoroughly enjoyed, and wasn't quite sure if leaving a comment would be considered kind or creepy. I've heard of many cases of people who have met on this community and who end up talking regularly, and I now wonder where these interactions begin, when one of the parties doesn't really have a voice attached to their username and is known by others simply by their walls of Pastebin text.
This post has gotten extremely rambly, and even though I'm already having second thoughts, I will click the button anyway in hopes that some part of it will resonate with some other lost soul (or past lost soul).
All of this having been said, I'm hella happy I found this little corner of the Internet, and I look forward to many more fun times with you all!!
Thank you so, so much for reading!
