Take a breath, inhale your fortitude and exhale your cowardice; gather your nerve before you continue. Better still, take flight that your attention may land elsewhere...this is not a tale for the weak-willed. Yet, this is where we...

The playful poly partnerships, sometimes in two, threes, all fours. I am home, desperate for some relief. Remembering a night I shared with her and my former partner as I am alone now looking to q...
I want to tell you what catches my eye and why, so you can incorporate it, if you wish, into your work. Naturally there are genres, fetishes and other topics that fall into the personal taste category that I do not read, and I won't get into; while they have bearing on whether I'll read a story, this piece is intended to provide insight for all writers.
