Luna looked out over Equestria’s sleeping ponies and frowned to herself; there was almost nopony enjoying her beautiful night sky. The buxom alicorn mare was not happy about this. At first, she didn’t mind too much, but that was starting to change. Luna was feeling underappreciated, very few beyond the night shift were around at night, and even they spent ne...
It happens to me a lot these days. I've posted a story on Literotica that I've worked very hard on for a whole month. Laurel saw fit to give me the coveted green "E" for "editor's choice." When I logged in to my author's page to post it, I noticed my ratings and number of votes have risen a bit since the last time I checked. I've received praise from the fee...
The number one (two and three) rule of being a writer is...don't respond to criticism. But every now and then someone or something comes along that makes that virtually impossible. For me, it is never the scathing, barely camouflaged vitriol of other authors or wanna-be's. It is the thoughtful and well worded (and spell checked) ones that get my mental gears...
This is a little slow to get into, but it's my first attempt at writing erotica, so please give it a chance. * Ella pushed a hunk of sweaty hair from her forehead away, scowling irritably. She'd always hated the outdoors, preferring to sit inside with a book and read. She should have never listened to her brother's when they talked her into going for a hi...
There are quite a lot of articles on how authors can use editors, and how editors can help authors. They usually examine the proper use of language, the importance of continuity in a story, and some pitfalls that new writers of erotica (or any fiction, for that matter) need to avoid. I'm lucky in that I've used an editor for years who is not only a personal...
Contains male-on-male sex It had been a relaxing but uneventful vacation. Most of the small resort's guests had departed after New Year's Day and only a handful remained. There was a conspicuous dearth of talent, with the exception of a few sun-kissed honeys vacationing with their families and perhaps three or four cute couples on a holiday getaway. One of...
Another great anthology of erotica that I highly recommend is SwitchHitters, edited by Carol Queen and Lawrence Schimel. I purchased this book for the main purpose that it included a short story from Laura Antoniou, the author of The Marketplace series. Her particular entry in this anthology is about one of the characters from the premiere book in that serie...
Prologue I needed to get away, needed a change of scenery. Though it's small, Beverwyck still had its distractions and annoying noises. Moreover, it was too close to the malls and cafes that would take my precious time away from finishing my latest novel, an action/adventure tale starring my most favorite character, Thierry Prud'homme IV. I called an aunt...
This is a true story. It took place about five years ago, a few months after my divorce. It saved my life. I'd been married for nearly thirty years to a woman I'd known since I was in high school. Our marriage had been fairly good but with some natural ups and downs. But I don't want to get into that. Suffice to say, when I come home from work one day and s...
A BRIEF EXPLANATION OF ARCADIA GLIMMER MIST Arcadia Glimmer Mist began with the silly name. Most of the time when I write, I start from a single line and just let things flow from there. I write and let the words flow. There is some element of planning, but not much; I don't tend to outline or do any of the other things that good writers do. I just sit down...
