General Discussion / Re: What draws you to reading ...

Last post by Object Oriented - Today at 07:01:55 PM

The first thing I look for is the sub-genre and tags as there are some that appeal to me and others that are just not my thing. Then the author, to see if it's someone I've enjoyed before, and lastly the title. I actually love the fact that titles on here generally feel authentic rather than clickbait. Ideally I want a title that hints at the character arc, not just the specific sex acts.

Then, to the body. First I'll read the opening paragraph or two and see if it hooks me. I don't mind "spoilers" here because for me a story is about enjoying the journey rather than being surprised by a plot twist. I don't need a full backstory, but I want to know enough about the principal characters that I care about them getting tied up or whatever.

If that seems good, I then flip forward to roughly two-thirds of the way through the story, select a few paragraphs, and paste them into an AI detector. I don't love the fact that I feel the need to do this, but in the past I've encountered stories that seemed intriguing but later proved repetitive and unsatisfying, and such a test revealed them to be slop.

Then will I feel like I want to jump back to the beginning and settle in.

There were certainly some very hot moments in Harriet's fantasy. I liked the progression and the possibility of it turning darker gave it an edge.

For me, a strong hook and engaging characters draw me in. I stay for emotional depth, believable dialogue, and a sense of progression, whether through plot, relationships, or world-building that keeps me curious.

Nice to meet you, Twisted Smile. I haven't quite caught up yet, but I enjoyed the first part of "Sophie and Mark." I'll get the rest of it soon. Cool intro/origin story too!

Intros / Origin story

Last post by twistedsmile - April 22, 2026, 12:19:39 AM

A couple of decades ago, there was a link on slashdot to an archive of text files taken from old message boards: technical documents, fan discussion, ASCII art, stories, etc. And being, at the time, a horny teenager, I of course went straight for the porn section.

There was this one story - a woman ties herself up in a barn; maybe she got stuck, maybe she was discovered. I seem to remember ants crawling on her. That was the first pornographic fiction I ever read. And I wanted to read some more. So I did a google search for "self bondage stories", and that's how I first ended up on Gromet's Plaza.

Reading the stories on here, and exploring the links ("a little helpless by yourself" and all that) really fuelled my love of self-bondage, and BDSM in general. In many ways, this site made me into the pervert I am today.

So when I wrote some stories of my own, it seemed only right that I should share them here.

Actually, that's not entirely true. I wrote one BDSM story before, many years ago. Back then, submitting a story by email seemed too intimidating, so I posted it on a different site that let you just upload stories. I can't for the life of me remember what that site was. I don't remember much about the story either, except for one reader comment that went something like "this is pretty dark even for me".

I've grown a lot since then.

I considered picking a new username. I actually stole "Twisted Smile" from the name of a bondage porn site that existed a long time ago. I was worried that the username might give people the wrong impression, like that my new stories are dark and 'edgy'. But it's the username I posted that old story under, and I guess I'm sentimental.

So, I'm twisted smile. Nice to meet you all

I write the "Sophie & Mark" series. It's a sort of cosy British BDSM rom-com. Give it a look, you might get a kick out of it.
