Hello!
You know, I think many of us have similar beginning porn-writing stories.
And many of us still haven't told our families what we do here.
Still.
It sounds as if you've made it to the right place at last, and please let me welcome you to our little pervy slice of heaven on earth.
You need a link to your stories 'cause though we're pervy we're also kind of lazy.
Give me a second and I'll locate them.
Welcome to the Author's Hangout!

Ah, yes. I remember you from the Story Feedback Forum, yes?
Here's a link to your stories - http://www.literotica.com/stories/memberpage.php?uid=1009386&page=submissions
I look forward to reading!

Hi sweetsubsarahh,
Thanks for the welcome, and yes, we did indeed first "meet" in the feedback forum. Thank you for linking to my submissions page. It's strange; I had it linked in my sig and it showed up when I previewed my post. Wonder why it's not popping up now?
You know, every time I see your user name I always think "sub-Sahara". I don't know if your handle is partially a play on that word, but I like it nonetheless. Very creative.
Hi cantdog,
Thanks for making me feel at home. I'm curious about your user name. What's "cantdog" mean? You don't have to share of course, just being nosy. "Starscape" is a portmanteau of sorts of "Star Trek" and "Farscape", two of my favorite TV shows. I'm a sci-fi geek, among other things.

Welcome aboard. Make yourself at home. Wander over to Naked, if you're of a mind, or take a stroll among the many and new writerly threads. Join the fun and add your own voice. All are welcome.

Welcome Aboard!
Not sure you've picked the best time to join in - the upcoming US election has the politicos sharpening their poison pens all over the place and some of the usual denizens are hiding under the blankets till it's all over.
The rest of us are running around being alternately annoyed at the political stuff and poking fun at it...

Hi everybody! [waves]
You guys are so nice.
MistressLynn, you will always have a distinct place in my heart as the very first person on the board to "talk to" me. Glad to see you're not always slaving away as an editor.
SweetWitch, I must admit I find the Naked Party thread a bit intimidating for two reasons. One, I have a habit of reading threads from the beginning before I post (just in case the point I was going to make has already been said), and I just don't think I can quite bring myself to slog through 29,000 posts, so if I do this, I'm jumping in blind. Two, I've got that inhibition thing I'm struggling with and there's something about "Naked Party"... But I'll see what I can do.
jomar, despite what I just told SweetWitch about being inhibited, I have also discovered that I have a bit of an exhibitionist streak. So as long as I can pretend I don't know people are peeking at my naughty journals, I think I can deal with it.
Stella_Omega, actually, in many ways it is often from the people who don't relate to the religion thing that I learn most. It's very refreshing to hear the perspectives of those whose world view hasn't been impacted in that regard.
Corylea, thank you for your support. I admit it makes me feel rather dorky to be a thirty-something woman still working through her shit, let alone broadcasting it on the internet. Nevertheless, better late than never, and I don't think I would've put myself out there if I didn't get the sense that this is a place where I could be myself.

Welcome to Smut Central Starscape.
We're a diverse bunch here from all religions, walks of life, professions, political affiliations, ages, sexes and sexual orientations.
I was raised Catholic myself but overcame it once I left home.
Here's your T-Shirt and ID badge, feel free to wander about the grounds.

Thirtysomething?
You're just a baby yet! I have news for you-- you'll be working through your shit till the day you die...
My advice on the naked party thread, and any other of the incredibly long thread around here, is to read the first page or maybe two, then click the "end" link, then click back the three or four pages from the end to read forward... That's usually plenty of context.

starrkers, yeah, when I first came to this forum, the Author's Hangout was the first place I popped in. You know, I was thinking, okay, this is where "fellow authors talk about the craft of writing"--this has got to be the right place. When I discovered instead that virtually every active thread from the past week or so was about anything but writing, I wandered away in confusion for a few days and camped out in the Editor's and Story Feedback forums. Thank goodness I figured out how the search feature worked. That's cool though. It's an important election. I'll try to keep an eye out for stray bullets in the interim.
TE999, thanks for the T-shirt and badge; how did you know my size? My mother would be so disapproving if she knew I found solace at Smut Central. I feel so dirty. In a good way. 
As for the crowd, diversity is good. I'm glad there are a wide variety of people who hang out in these halls.
Stella_Omega, the closer I get to forty, the more I appreciate being called a baby. I don't know whether to be relieved or scared shitless to hear that my ghosts ain't going away. Dag nabbit, the perfectionist in me has always held out hope that one of these days I'd be "past" all that.

Eyup Stars,
most AHers aren't all that vocally political until those 'visitors' that are, draw them into wrangles. (sometimes Wranglers but absolutely no-one will admit to wearing denim as it pins their age and taste).
Lots of old or ex-AHers speak up only when there are actual writerly threads to add to. (above the Hangout you'll find a sub-forum for challenges and exercises also a visual arts corner)
Lots of current AHers actually find politics dull and uninteresting compared to laughing, flirting and improving our skills.
Some AHers are still here out of habit alone and wishing it were the old days. (but don't get me started)
I know what a Cantdog is, and it's quite interesting, unlike the chap himself who is very interesting.
Sweet Sub-Sahara actually chose her name because the temperature of the night-time Sahara is approximately equal (that's a wavy line equals sign) to the temperature of her feet in bed. (don't ask how I know)
TE (or 99 as he likes to be called in a Maxwell Smart voice) is a terse and comely chap that, though he walks through the valley. fears no evil.
Starrkers is an austrich. (not to be confused with an Austerich which is a nineteenth century Royal Hussar) and is almost as sweet as the sub-sahara.
Corylea is an enigma wrapped in a tablecloth. No-one knows why. She's also a noob. (and possibly male mainly because I have a poor memory)
Jomar... Jomar is... I've never been able to work Jomar out. He's a puzzle. Possibly a paradox but certainly not an enigma (wrapped or otherwise)
Sweetwitch is a writer (not that anyone else isn't) and is naked most of the time. When I finally pack it in here I'll be handing over the reins of moaning about the lack of writerly threads to her.
MistressLynn has spent her entire AH career trying to win the 'Last Person To Post Here' thread.
Stella is Stella. She's neither enigma nor puzzle or even a paradox. I heart Stella. I heart almost everyone in the AH but I heart Stella the second most.
There are loads of other AHers that you simply must meet and every single one of them is worth a look at.
I'll echo Cant and agree that a complete sentence writer is very welcome here and add that your style and construction could almost be English so is doubly welcome.
Me? I'm just a lawnmower, you can tell me by the way I walk.

Welcome to the AH, starscape. I'll have to look up your stories. Your post are well written and I'd appreciate reading some new well written stories.

Naked is a metaphor, doll. The thread was started during a time when everyone was angry, depressed or otherwise stuck in a gloomy rut. The premise is to take off all your worries, shed your troubles and just enjoy good company. There are several such threads in the AH. On Naked, we tend to just be silly, flirt a bit and hash out a few minor personal issues, such as what to fix for dinner. (See the big bear for that one. He’s quite the chef and eagerly shares his recipes.)
Just join in when you’re ready. No one there will judge you or be rude. The people in the party palace won’t allow it. They’re all quite sweet.
As far as being of a certain age and still working on your personal shit, it’s all part of personal growth. We’re all doing it, to some extent. I’m still trying to figure out why I get fighting mad every time something scares me. I think it has a lot to do with spending my summers on a huge farm with fifteen older cousins who liked to hear me scream. Lousy bastards….
Or it could just be my Irish blood.
Oh, and gauchecritic is an insightful and amusing person who will make you laugh as much as she will make you think. But he’s right. We need more writerly discussions. I’m thinking something about character development next.
Enjoy your new world, Starscape. Don’t pay any attention to the poo-flingers (you’ll figure out who they are soon enough). Try not to take anything too seriously. It spoils the fun.

Starscape--
What a touching story and terrific introduction! So beautifully told, too. Welcome to the Authors' Hangout.
I can't imagine going through that kind of forced inhibition and embarrassment growing up, and the fact that you came through it and retained the urge to write and a healthy interest in sex speaks volumes for your character. It makes me proud for you too. Consider me at your service, love. You're a welcome addition to this sick crew.
