Don't me!

I'm reading all contributions to volume 2 right now.
So I can do a proper introduction.

It needs to be formatted in the same way as the stories, right?

I wasn't you! I was those who seem to want the book promoted but don't run with the ball when there's an opportunity to do so.

Oh, well. It'll only be as good as "we" make it, eh?

It's all good.

WOW!! Curt, you nailed it. That is Jill and Frank, no doubt about it. Even the age difference shows.

Thanks man, you're terrific.

Anyone interested in pursuing a review or interview through this site?

http://fallenangelreviews.com/Services.htm

Don't know if I'm really qualified to give reviews but I'd be willing to be interviewed.

Thanks, hun. It's FAR who'd review Coming Together. We just need someone to make contact and plead with them to do a review. If they're willing, I'd send them an electronic copy of volume 1. Their interviews are simply a series of questions sent via e-mail (with Q&A posted on their site). They also host chats with featured authors who're promoting their work.

 

[Black Tulip]

In that case I'd be willing to get interviewed too.



Back to reading for the volume 2 intro.

Impressive...

How many endorsements does a story need to be considered vetted? Because I've read quite a few on that list and I PM'd you recommending them.

As for mine, I always tweak them for at least a week before turning them loose so they should not have any proof errors.

My book is here, my book is here

My book is here, my book is here

Pretty cool, huh?

It's a damned fine looking book.

 

[Black Tulip]

Grrrr. Still haven't got mine.
Credit card should be working fine, but it doesn't and I'm too busy to get into it.

Imp,

How many words for the introduction? I wrote one that is 670 words.
I need to have a final look at it and will post it tomorrow for comments from you all.
Do I need to expand? Or shrink?

In the Coming Together format, 300 words is approximately one page. Anywhere from 2-4 pages for the Intro would be just fine.

[Black Tulip]

Thanks Dar. I think I will just wait until volume 2 is available too. Should save some on shipping and handling, I hope.

Ok, folks. Here it is: the introduction to volume 2, 715 words.
Please let me know if you think it stinks or what.
Don't hesitate to tell me if I fouled up on your contribution.
Point out every wrong comma, grammatical error or spelling blunder.

Introduction
The words erotic and cocktail go surprising well together. Think on it. Both are appealing because they consist of a blend of ingredients. What's more, the mixing and blending provides the consumer with an endless variety. A slight shift in one ingredient can give you a totally new taste.

This cocktail you are holding in your hand right now is made up of a multitude of flavors, which all have their place in the world of erotic delights.

Not only is there a choice between heterosexual and homosexual encounters, or a combination of them. You can have your pick from stories or poems, or enjoy one of the inspiring illustrations. They all focus on distinct emotions and those emotions combine to give you pleasure.

The first emotion you'll find is that of missing in the poem "Invisible" by sophia jane; a poem that will strike a chord with many a mother. "With You Without Me" is another poem about missing, written by Dar~. Sophia jane also wrote a story about missing the feeling of being loved and wanted called "Pleasing Ellie".

Missing is close to longing, an emotion you will find in the almost Shakespearean poem "Questions" by matriarch. A completely different longing is part of "The Spirit of Frankenstein" by Quiet Cool. In fact the longing there is more obsessive and turns the story into something that grips your gut. If this one is too bizarre for your taste, you can find an aching longing in Belegon's poem "Almost Enough".

Perhaps you prefer the story Belegon wrote. It's called "Wet Panties?" and is more about romance and wanting. Wanting or desire is a flavor you can find in a lot of contributions. "A Seduction in the Dark" by LadyJeanne is a poem filled with desire. "Release the Beast" is a story by LadyJeanne. Again the flavor is wanting, but here it's mixed with a generous dose of loving. A different story about wanting is told in "Chocolate Sauce and Handcuffs" by matriarch. Not surprising it's about tasting too.

Maybe you prefer a raw kind of wanting? Than you will have to read "base+ment", a poem by 4degrees. A little less raw, but still a strong dose of wanting you can find in "Public Humiliation", a story by Tatelou. It's mixed with anticipation, and trusting.

A lighter kind of wanting you can find in "XES"; a sexy and playful poem by neonurotic. If you are looking for more fun you can read "May", another poem. This one is written by Boxlicker101. The myriad forms of wanting provide you with even more stories, such as "A Honeymoon Affair" by Awful Arthur. It is a story about intense wanting that seems to border on lusting. Or you can treat yourself to a dreamy kind of wanting by reading "Wet Dream", a poem by Tristesse.

For lots of people wanting grows with waiting. Anticipation for instance like in rgraham666's story "Buzz Me". "Bite Me", a poem by Liar deals with waiting in a completely different way. And "gloss" by minsue is another poem about waiting. Yet again, a totally different shade, more one of expectation.

Among all those flavors there are a few still not mentioned, such as the taste of simple loving. It can be pure as in the poem "There's Always Heaven". Impressive wrote it with a strong streak of hoping in the mix. Loving can be tender. Find that out for yourself by reading "Be Gentle With Her", a story by Alex De Kok. Loving can be fierce as well to the point of scary. Try "Do You Still Love Me?" by Dranoel. It's a love story, but not for the faint hearted. Do you like scary? Than you must certainly read Cloudy's story "Possession".

Last but not least, you can't miss a bit of humor. For a good laugh you should read "Dr. Bob and His Dildo". It is an absurd story filled with wordplay by ABSTRUSE.

The only ingredient left unmentioned is the beautiful illustrations by rhinoguy, 4degrees and cantdog. Classy, amusing, sometimes touching, at others arousing, they are an essential part of the mix.

Whatever your taste may be, this cocktail should be able to cater to at least some of your needs, or wants, or desires, or obsessions, or ... you get my drift.

Nice work, BT.


Technically, I believe punctuation should go inside quotation marks -- but if we stick to the v1 format, titles are just italicized. Also, I've been maintaining the capitalization, non-capitalization, and spacing of author's names -- exactly as they appear on Lit.

If this thread is going to become an adjunct to Plug Your Stories Here, by all means, please give my proposed contributions, "The Ice Cream Cone" and "Survival, Parts 1 & 2" a read. I think it's up for one of the latest volumes.

 

[Sunnie]

ohmigod! This is what I get for taking a Lit hiatus, I miss out on all the good shit! Can I get in on Volume 5?? -prettyplease-

See first post for instructions on submitting a story/poem for consideration. And welcome to the party!

 

[Sunnie]

Thank you!! Okay, here's my submission:

Dazzlers

5,277 words (too many? ), Lesbian Sex story. Open to editing

 

[Alex De Kok]

I've been out of the loop, rather, marking student submissions (eejits, they're all eejits!) but I accepted Black Tulip's invitation and had a look at her introduction. An excellent job, and she should be proud of it. There are native English speakers who couldn't do as well. I'm appending my amended version below, and there aren't many changes. I've used colour where I've amended, and italics for a comment.

"With You Without Me" is another poem about missing, written by Dar~. Sophia jane also wrote a story about missing the feeling of being loved and wanted called "Pleasing Ellie".

[I find the previous paragraph awkward. Missing is a verb which needs an object. Missing something or missing someone. I think the paragraph needs to say what is being missed. Others may disagree but I do not think that 'missing' can stand alone. Okay, I'm a pedant.]

Missing is close to longing, an emotion you will find in the almost Shakespearean poem "Questions" by matriarch. A completely different longing is part of "The Spirit of Frankenstein" by Quiet Cool. In fact the longing there is more obsessive and turns the story into something that grips your gut.

[rgraham666]

Seems to be a pretty good introduction. Thank you, BT.

Now getting all smiley at how close I am to getting something of mine in print.

Which reminds me. My personal blurb.

rgraham666 is a heretic. There’s no other word to describe him. He’s wandered through the world at his own pace, seeing through his own eyes and coming to his own conclusions.
He has recently discovered that he has a knack for erotica. Feel free to enjoy.

Can't think of anything else to say to say about me.

 

[TheEarl]

hey all,
I posted a thread to serve two purposes....the obvious one and the also obvious one. To get portfolio pieces and to generate some more sales.

I suspect that MOST sales are coming from contributors...to be expected.

When we get the official website up and running properly, then I'm going to start publicising it and trying to get reviews in national (and possibly international) magazines.

Hopefully that should get us a few more sales.

There are, I'm learning, also a bunch of sites that do reviews -- and I'll provide a PDF "advance review copy" that can be e-mailed to such sites.
