Click hereWelcome to the mini-event, "Burning Down the House." Several writers who read and post in the Loving Wives category put our heads together and decided to write some classic Loving Wives stories.These are stories in which the characters are neither passive actors in their marriages nor homicidal maniacs. Just people who do the best they can in difficult situations and try to live their best lives. We write in hope that the readers enjoy these stories, and as a thank you to readers who come to Literotica, read our stories and give us an audience.
Thanks to Laurel and the Literotica staff for giving us a fun place to read and write.
And now, the stories:
A New Profession by qhml1Burning Down the House by blackrandl1958
Broken Links by Bebop3
If you're interested in writing in any of our ongoing author-organized Challenges (or in organizing a Challenge), please check the .
A big thank-you to all the authors who contribute both to this themed challenge, and to Literotica every day.
And without the readers, there could be no writers. Thank you for reading these stories!
Lots of talented people posted stories for this event. *****
I liked the premise of a LW story that held down blazing drama. While I like to see "passion, jealousy and hate" as much as anyone, these stories gave more time to enjoy the characters. So, thanks for this. Great stuff.
Overall 3*
They must have had it in for some author or story to think we'd like recycled cliches. Nothing original or creative across the board
I read all 9 stories and thought they all deserved 5 Stars. These are the kinds of stories that attracted me to Literotica years ago. Now I feel lucky find 1 or 2 a week that I want to read. I wish Harddaysknight would get back to Lady in Red: Book 3 and add a Ch. 9... I've enjoyed all his stories but especially liked Lady in Red. I hope he hasn't gotten burned out on such a captivating series? Thank you so much for this great event.
OK, I read them all and they, every one, lived up to the anticipation. I have a *5 to them all as I am well known to be a well balanced judge of LW stories. Seriously, this was great and justifiably well received. There are a few people who don't like anything. Randi, I am one of your "lemmings" and usually feel you can do no wrong. But this time you have screwed the pooch. If you were as good as we think you are, then we would have stories like this every day and not falling back so quickly into the abyss that LW has become. Your special just made our reality even more depressing. Randi, wave your magic pen again and save us from this torture. Great work from everyone involved.
there will be a lot of 4 point plus stories here, not often found in this category. Always looking forward to stories like these, something actually worth reading.
