Did I make a mistake?

[AngelaSaxon]

In Venus' Touch, at one point you write "What a let down. Why did he do that? I was breathing heavenly." I assumed that was an autocorrect contribution, but also might have reflected the vocabulary more often used...

I'm not sure what category it would fit in best, but there's no shortage of stories in the R/NC section in which, for example, q woman is at least as consenting as is your protagonist, sometimes after a few seconds of hesitation to be sure. I'm not saying that would have been the best category for the story, just that if it stood out from the norms of other stories, I don't think just her degree of desire for what's happening would be the difference?

Thanks! That's just a brain fart on my part. I don't use autocorrect while writing. Venus' Touch was one of the first stories I ever wrote, roughly a month after I started writing. So it's guaranteed to be full of mistakes, typos, and awkward English (I'm not a native speaker). I'll fix that mistake.

I mean, uh, yeah... Not to belabor your own point, but there is a pretty egregious mistake right in the very title (I should've been Venus's Touch).

I don't know if you can correct a story title along with the edit to its content, but it's probably worth mentioning in the notes to admin when submitting the latter.

Both uses of apostrophes are correct, no?

Only if "Venus" is somehow plural, which I don't think it is here.

No, the title's fine as it is. Plain apostrophe is commonly used with classical and biblical names ending in -s. Hart's Rules (the Oxford style guide) says:

In ancient classical names use s' (not s's): Mars', Venus', Herodotus'. This is the prevailing custom in classical works.
