The Dirty Dozen: An Erotic Story Portals Listicle

... or, Holla @ Ya Boi for the Straight Dope on Story Sites!

I'm pretty sure the proverbial kids stopped saying "holla at yr boi" a while ago, but whatevs, as the kids surely also no longer say. The point is I come to you today, dear readers, bearing delicious listicles. Or a delicious listicle. I saw this listicle in my mind's eye and it was good. If it goes right, I will gratefully accept showers of praise, and if it goes horribly wrong I would like you all to know that It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time.

As part of my recent Pocket Rocket project, I found myself shopping around for various erotic story portals at which to promote some of the component stories. In the course of doing so I noticed a little something. There were lots of reviews of this kind of site from a reader's point of view, but finding out how it was to interact with them as an author was something else again. So I thought I would offer up the benefits of my experience.

Starting out with a disclaimer: I am not in the least little bit pretending my experience is comprehensive. Where possible I have tried to benefit from the insights of other authors and for as long as this here listicle is up, I will continue trying to do so. If there are story sites I've missed, I urge folks to hit me up here, on Twitter or by e-mail so that I can update. I have the sites in a rough ranking, but the whole idea of "ranking" something this complicated is mostly tongue-in-cheek, so don't take that aspect too terribly seriously.

This is a beginning, and as the Princess Irulan once said, a beginning is a very delicate time. I'll try to do it justice. And whatever I say here, to the proprietors of these sites in general and the non-profit / non-commercial sites in particular, I would just like to say that I know keeping these resources live and dealing with the fractious, opinionated communities they attract isn't easy. Bless you all for what you do.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Peep Show

... or, an Unusual Story About a Strange Hunger

I don't spend too much time talking on this blog about my stories on Literotica, partly because I'm often focused here on published work that I'm selling. That said, I do owe the site a shout-out or two, as putting up work there led directly to my current work with Uruk Press and to connections with many fine writers and readers of erotica. And I'd like to take this opportunity to talk about a new work I've posted there this week. Details after the jump.

Shake and Bake!

The Pegasus Run is here!

More erotic bikini-girl space mayhem has landed, just in time for the holidays! This time our heroines find themselves pitted against a group of sexy rivals and caught up in a perilous web of scheming and deceit that could well see their very freedom at stake. They'll have to muster every ounce of their courage, cleverness and seductive feminine wiles if they hope to prevail! 

It really is such a privilege to be able to work with Uruk Press in sharing the Space Princess stories with the world. While these yarns are erotic red meat for my inner Horny Little Devil -- and hopefully yours, too -- I'm also excited about them just as stories, and I always look forward to the chance to spend time with the women of the S.S. Ecstasy. Their adventures are enormously fun to write and I hope they're equally fun to read: check out the latest episode here and let me know if you agree. 

To celebrate this release, the first Space Princess adventure, The Fourth Rule, has come down in price. Get your copy today and find out where it all started. There's so much more to come!

Found in Translation.

Another recent development I'm quite tickled by: for the very first time (that I'm aware of), my work has been translated into Hungarian! 

The piece in question is one of my freebies over at Literotica, a satirical take on "author notes" called "A Short Disclaimer." I would like to thank Pavlov for his appreciation of this piece and for assaying his translation. Incredibly cool!

Carpe Diem.

So. This. If you still have holiday shopping to do... this.

This fabulous little erotic oddity comes via the good people at Jezebel, who put me hip to the fact that there is an erotic calendar, produced several years running now, that features hot women holding carp. It's Henrik Pohler's Carponizer Calendar, and... well, yeah. It's a thing. That is a thing that exists, and this makes me happy.

Pohler also apparently produces a similar calendar for the general fisherman's market, which features various forms of fish and the odd eel... but I don't know. There's just a certain purity to the mission of specifically celebrating the majestic carp by having a naked model hold it up in front of a camera that just speaks to me. Your mileage may vary.

I'll say this for Pohler: his taste in models is impeccable. And the women are pretty good looking, too! (Bah-dmp! Tsshh!)

Allow me to play you out.

Speaking of fish stories and Christmas: this here video is an oldie, but a goodie.

And it's not Christmas for my family until we've listened to this very special rendition of O Holy Night:

Enjoy! Best of the season and see you all in the new year!
