Editing One's Work: Using a Text to Speech Program as a Proofreading Tool In December 2006 I posted this to Literotica under the title: Using Microsoft Reader as a Proofreading Tool. Since that time, MS Reader has been changed in such a way that it is no longer useful for this purpose. * What follows below is the original essay on the need for proofreadi...
Hello, I have been reading stories posted to this site for about a year. I must admit, I found the range of subjects fascinating, and the range of quality astounding. Some of the authors who post here are excellent writers with vivid imaginations and superior skills. Others are not quite as good, but who, with a little patience and a great deal of editing,...
AN: All dialogue, unless otherwise noted, is spoken in Japanese. For cultural objects that don't fully translate I've added a glossary at the end of the chapter. If New York was the city that never slept, then Terry thought Tokyo was the city that never dreamed. Its denizens pulsed through the neon veins of the city, on their way to work and back, or anot...
Dear reader, I make no apologies for the explicitness, the bizarreness, the disturbing nature of the following story. For all its excesses, it has one overriding virtue – it is all 100% true, in every humiliating detail. You would do well to pay attention, you who are fellow artisans in the subtle art of erotic fiction, for what I have to say is a matter of...
(Note to reader: This is the second in what will be a continuing series of stories about the erotic adventures of the three friends, Jade, Yvette and Steve, two women and a man.

Does the tailor think we can't find a small black plastic replacement button costing one penny when we need one? I mean you all have a special drawer in your armoire with all these s...

For that matter I'm new to writing . . . period. This essay is to recounting of a few self observations, experiences and surprises on this short journey so far. This may serve as a pr...
"America and Britain are two nations divided by a common language". So said George Bernard Shaw. Or possibly Oscar Wilde. Or was it Winston Churchill? Anyway, there's a lot of truth in this statement, and it's something I'm never more aware of than when I'm writing a submission to Literotica. (Mark Twain maybe?) For those poor deprived souls not yet familia...
Andrea Dworkin has long opposed pornography. She has also rejected erotica. This essay is a refutation of Dworkin's position. Allow me to begin with a quote from a SilkyOne Literotica story, "Silky 09.' Someone tells Silky (the eponymous heroine of the Silky Series) that she is Gorgeous. She reacts: "Gorgeous! Really? You think I'm gorgeous? Why? Do I have...
