Hi All.
Anybody on here like reading pro style, ring or mats or are you guys just into cat?

MY preference is for good, well written, stories. The TYPE (rules, NHB, cat, mud wrestling, whatever) of the fight is less important (for me) than whether the writer can draw me into being interested in the characters and what happens to them - and why it happens.

That said, a story can have too much information/too many details so that it bogs down the reader - most of whom I'm sure want to get to "the action".

It's a fine line and one I hesitate to criticize writers on....so my only advice would be:
1) to write the story in a word processor and save it,
2) re-read it a day/two later and make whatever edits you feel improve it,
3) run "spell check" to eliminate the most glaringly obvious spelling errors.

Those are the most obvious things anyone should do before posting a story, to ANY board.

Then after you post it, read the comments (hopefully you get at least a few) BUT DO NOT TAKE HARSH CRITICISM TO HEART! Some folks will post helpful suggestions that could improve your writing style, but anyone who tells you "they should pull hair" or suggests other "fetishes" are only looking out for their own selfish interests, not your writing improvement.

NOTE: my previous remark about including fetish scenes does NOT apply to message boards that are specifically about particular interests. (For example on a "titfight" board, readers will naturally expect that kind of fight and if you don't give it to them, they can rightfully call you on it. Otherwise, they should all thank you for your contribution and not try to get you to change your own interests....unless you invite that kind of response.

It's all about the tension/confrontation/chemistry between the women--how they choose to resolve it is almost secondary.

The comments above are spot on....

Just try and tell a GREAT story......set it up in the beginning....give us a great narrative,......so we can buy into the characters......

Once we do that everything else will just flow.......and any fights will be that much more intense to the reader/me.....

Just set up the conflict in the beginning and make it interesting...be detailed...make me love the characters...identify with one or more...put myself in their place!

That's what I look for

Not only do I love reading about them , I write them as well , have done close to 200 on this site , been lazy the past few months , but I do write them & as you can guess from my username , I Love Sexy Jobbers , which is hard to come by in mainstream women's wrestling as it's GOOD GIRLS WIN - BAD GIRLS LOSE  everywhere you look & it does not matter if the good girl is in her 4th pro match , is 5'2 - 107 lbs while the heel is 5'8 - 160 lbs & has been wrestling 10 years & it is clear as day that the precious good girl is weak , slow , & lost in the ring against the bigger , stronger , way more experienced vet who loses more knowledge trimming her nails then the youngster has in her entire body , they let the good girl win anyway just because she is the good girl despite the fact on the lame ass rollup , she could not even execute the rollup & the veteran pinned herself basically , it keeps women's wrestling down & keeping it wht is was for 85 years now or so as it is STILL a SPECIAL ATTRACTION , that crap DOES NOT fly with me , size , strength , experience DOES matter in my world & in my world , the precious , cute & sexy good girls are JOBBERS WHO ARE IN FOR A TOTAL BEATDOWN , no protected princesses here

Those three elements make writing PRO 'rasslin' stories especially difficult - in my opinion.

You take two people (women in particular) off the street and put them in a fight, nobody expects "experience", but a writer can give them height/weight that creates an expectation of the outcome (see post above).

What a significant difference in SIZE creates in the reader's mind is "expectation" so the writer's task is to either:
a) explain how those factors effect the outcome the writer desires, or
b) explain how the winner overcame those "advantages" to win in an "upset".

If you're a serious "author" I expect you would write a story outline before you get to work, laying out all the plot points you want to hit. That's not how I write (usually) but then, I'm not an "author" either.

Often you can describe an "upset" as being due to other factors (fear, anger, better motivation, higher pain threshold, etc., etc.) and that works sometimes, it just means you have to work a little harder.

When I wrote pro 'rasslin' matches, I (admit shamefully) often resulted to the lazy writers tactic of "outside influence" (i.e., a tag team partner interfering, the manager's "chair shot", the crooked referee, etc). While those are almost clichés in the pro game, no reason one/more of them can't work in catfights or NHB either....in fact, they might work better because the reader may not see 'em coming!

Only real advice anyone can give a writer is to "write what you like to read" (at least that way, a year from now, you can go back and read your old stories over again and still enjoy them).

Good luck

I like good well written stories.  Pro style is my preference.  Just describe good moves.
