Tentacle Dreams: Calls for Submission

Six months ago, I put an anthology together called A Slip of the Lip for ERWA. I received a lot of great entries and I think we managed to put a very nice e-book together from the submissions. I’d like to try to do another one of those, but this time I’d like to...

New Valuations: Erotica and What It’s Worth

By

January 9, 2010

There is no other way to put it, writers get paid shit. Erotica writers get paid even less shit. At present, a writer of a short, say 4,000 word, story gets approximately $50 for the story. This works out at about 1 cent a word. Does that seem like the wrong way to work...

January 7, 2010

A week ago, I posted a story called “The Virtue of Patience” about two people in an elevator and the way their relationship evolves over time. Monocle (Raziel Moore) took up the challenge of the same basic scenario and wrote a wonderfully raw and dystopic piece called “Vertical Hold” Today Redbud (William Crimson) has...

Nightmares and Visions : Monocle

It’s always very exciting to hear when a fellow erotica writer has been published and, if you have listened to the podcast of Click, then you’ve already met Monacle (Raziel Moore). You might consider getting to know him a little better by taking yourself over to Republica Press and purchasing his collection of stories:...

Language and Power

I haven’t posted anything essayish here in a while, and I’ve been pondering on the fact that recently, sexual acronyms have started to really bother me. I have used them as much as anyone else: BDSM, MILF, D/s… and a new one I just learned today: CFNM (Clothed female, naked male). Recently I’ve started...

Things I leave Unsaid

I posted the Google Books Eco book below in order to start a discussion on writing in terms of what I say and what I leave unsaid in my stories and my shorter pieces of work.

October 19, 2009

I’ve been quiet of late. This is mostly because my new semester is looming like a vulture and I’m having to do a lot of prep for it. However, three bits of news. I was very honoured to be asked by Nobilis to read his story Wager for his weekly podcast. I had a...

We Just Aren’t That Simple

Nobilis pointed me in the direction of Figleaf's "The No-Sex Class: Men, Women, and Gangbangs in Porn" which led me to "Once more into the breech" by Amanda over at Pendragon.net., which led me to "On Porn, Sex And Pincushions" over at Echinde of the Snakes. Although each of them stray in their topics...
