Hi, it’s been a while since I last posted on the forum.
Here, I want an opportunity to discuss one of my favourite types of erotica genre that I believe to be rather niche - Medieval Fantasy Erotica. That is an erotic story based on European-esque fantasy setting with knights, demons, wizards, orcs, dragons, etc. Specifically, I have always been fascinated by stories where righteous heroes, who have tried their best to resist the darkness they fight against, eventually succumb to it.
For me personally, I have believed that I have developed this kink due to watching so many cartoons where the villains are muscled bound armored evil overlords who are infinitely so much cooler than the heroes. Why wouldn’t you want them to win? My earliest ‘fantasy’ has always been about succumbing to these dark forces and become loyal minions. There is also something infinitely hot about seeing heroes donning evil dark armor, fighting against everything he stood for.
While these stories are more prevalent on Furry Sites, I don’t believe that this genre is Furry-specific. In the past years, I’ve been trying my hand at writing medieval fantasy eroticas. However, lately I feel like my inspiration is starting to deplete, with my reusing same or similar tropes over and over. That is probably the major reason why I’m starting this topic. For anyone who has a passing interest in this niche genre, can I ask what about it that appeals to you? What ideas do you have or what would you like to read about? Do you have any must-read stories in mind?
This is a genre I also really enjoy. For me, I like the aspect of having some grounding to reality like human characters or even a historical setting, but I like the idea of the monster or mythical creature having abilities beyond comprehension. The power and control of someone with that level of mystique to them is really interesting to me. The idea of villains winning and heroes succumbing is also a great aspect. I find this the most interesting in demon vs priest/missionary stories. Someone who’s so religious but finally succumbs to urges beyond their control is a favorite trope of mine!
A lot of what I tend to read are vampire or wizard stories, but I also enjoy demon stories as I mentioned. A great writer in this genre is Naedre, who did both a wizard story and a demon story that I really enjoy. I’ve read a decent number of them, so if any of that interests you I can share more specific stories. I’d also love any recommendations you might have! I don’t think I’ve read any knight or dragon-themed stories yet.
I totally agree with the mystique aspect of the one doing the corruption in these types of stories. There’s a certain sense of helplessness on the part of the victims that get me going. However, due to my upbringing, it is hard for me to enjoy stories with priests. At least, I prefer ones where the religious characters worship fictional gods or stuff. It’s good to know that I’m not alone in enjoying heroes’ submission!
I love Naedre as well - though everything he likes is invariably good. For knight stories, my all time favourite in the genre is Travisbuchanan’s work on FurAffinity. ‘Command and Conquer’, ‘Dracolith Sea’, ‘Knight’s Pride’ and ‘Evil Spreads’ are among my favourite. Works by Jhitren is good as well, especially ‘Retrained’.
On this site, I love “The fall of Sunstone Monastery” by @Big-Zargo_12 , which is highly underrated. A Knight to Forget/Remember by @Willie_Cici is also really good. And if I may be so bold, I have also written a series on this genre called “Knightly Duties” starting with a story named “A Squire’s Duty”.
You called my name, and I was summoned. Thank you for liking my work. I like your series of Knightly Duties. If you ever want to talk shop or pass around ideas, I’m all ears.
Hi, love your work! I really love the total dissonance of your character pre and post corruption. I also like the cocky attitude your villains have and how the victims start acting the same after the transformation! As I said the Fall of Sunstone Monastery is my favourite so far.
To be honest with you, I’m not sure what to do with the series. I was planning to make a prequel where a bunch of Wizards became corrupted. So far, I’ve been having brain farts about it. I’m always open to suggestions. If you want to make a request, feel free to do so, and if I like it, I’ll make a story and or art of it.
In my Bargain: Rank and File I point out that Ari’seth had been active during the Crusades corruption knights. I’ve been wanting to get back to working on that story and this might be a way to do it.
Also, a long time D&D story line involves a group of vampire servants to a character my friend created. The characters are lawful good while their sire is actually lawful neutral but projects an air of evil . But I often ponder what would happen if they went dark. So I got ideas that fall in line with this conversation. And now I have some stories to look at and see where I can go with them. If I put anything out (lately I’m on a writing spree) I hope you all will read it.
Well, my comfort zone idea is the Master/Apprentice theme corruption. Maybe the Master Wizard/Head of the Order was first to be corrupted by the demon, and he gradually spreads the corruption to his students one by one. Maybe one of the students grows suspicious, but by the time he realizes what is going on, it has already become too late as his master and fellow apprentices have already become horny muscled fiends.
Of course, I’m always eager to read more of your stories! Cop corruption is also another kink of mine, and that particular story of yours perfectly combines that with demonic corruption!
I also love vampire stories. Unfortunately, more often than not, vampire stories often emphasize on the vampire characters as being twinkish in body shape, which I’m personally indefferent towards. My favourite vampire story here in probably thr Princes of the Night by Hypnoticigarboy.
Thank you for the kind words!! I have a whole three-part series for Bargain but just gotta get back to writing for it. The side stories might be the way back into it. But there’s something about Change of Attire that has me writing for its different storylines right now.
