Well this is an interesting exercise. I’m newish to the site, just now posting a story that likes writing itself - but I’m confused by the function of the scoring system. My story is scoring lower, if I’d guessed, than I might have expected since (prurient subject matter aside) I was reasonably sure I write competent fiction.
So, are higher scores a function of more frequent graphic sex scenes? Am I supposed to introduce a voyeuristic tick-tick tic, even if that wouldn't fit the story's fabric or natural pace? Is that how you'd garner a higher score for Fisk?
Or is the subject matter what’s sinking my scores? And, yes, I do get that punished schoolgirls, and a family watching smut on TV are not such mature themes to try to twist into literary art.
But if they're my immature reward to get me writing, then the underlying target is a pastiche of English politics today. The Lib-Cons are the power-corrupted, dirty tricks Tories with no moral compass: they’ll clasp at anything available to keep their sweaty fingertips sliding up and down the greased-up knobs of power.
Or is that just another bubbling pot of bollocks? Look at my blurb. A nightmare world for women… freedom to punish in senior girls schools… belittling big breasted women on TV. It’s a male-dom wank world, pure and simple. More setup than sex, admittedly. But still, who exactly am I trying to fool here?
