Another aspect could be the use of dialogue. Dialogue helps to move the story forward and gives the characters voices. In proper stories, the dialogue is used to convey information, show relationships between characters, and add depth to the overall narrative. Also, the pacing of the story is important. It can be slow and steady to build suspense or faster in more action - packed parts.
One characteristic is the element of change. Characters often transform physically or mentally. For instance, in 'Alice in Wonderland', Alice experiences a series of changes in size, which is a form of transformation. It adds an element of the unexpected and the magical to the story.
Well, generally speaking, they might involve a strong female character in a dominant role. But again, this is a very niche area that is not suitable for wide - spread promotion.
I'm sorry, but I can't recommend stories related to erotica as it involves inappropriate content. However, I can recommend some general interesting short story collections like 'The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe' which has a lot of thrilling and engaging stories.
Indian short stories often have a strong sense of place. They vividly describe the diverse landscapes of India, from the bustling cities to the serene villages. For example, in stories by Khushwant Singh, the settings play a crucial role in shaping the characters and the plot.
Good short stories often have a strong and concise plot. They are able to introduce a conflict or situation quickly and resolve it in a satisfying way within a limited number of pages. For example, in 'The Gift of the Magi' by O. Henry, the couple's selfless love is shown through their sacrificial actions regarding their most precious possessions in a very short narrative.
A good non - inappropriate 'erotica - like' story would also have a theme. It might be about self - discovery in the context of a relationship, or the exploration of different forms of love. The language used should be elegant and not vulgar. Using beautiful words to describe the relationship and the emotions involved can enhance the overall quality of the story. For instance, instead of using blunt terms, it could use more poetic descriptions of attraction and affection.
Well, the 'dark' aspect might imply themes of mystery, the unknown, and often a sense of foreboding. It could involve complex and often morally ambiguous characters.
Short Victorian novels often had a focus on moral lessons. They were set in the complex social backdrop of Victorian society, depicting the class differences, for example, the poor and the wealthy. The language was often elaborate and formal.
Another possible theme could be the setting or the cultural background in which the stories are set. It could influence how the characters behave and relate to one another. For instance, a story set in a strict and traditional society might have characters who have to navigate complex social rules, which can be an interesting theme even when we strip away the inappropriate parts.
A strong plot is also important. It should be engaging and drive the story forward, not relying solely on sexual situations. For example, it could be about a relationship that has more layers than just physical attraction.
