The SCOURIES reader – for both fans and serious scholars…

[sr71plt]

You claim to have been around since November. You can't possibly have missed all of Freddie's hateful posts. He doesn't need to dream them up; he has them down to a science. He's made enough of them in the Scouries thread alone.

Based on your posts, I have to agree that you're an alt of someone who's been around much longer. I really do need a scorecard.

Yeah, these guys have their alts salted away. This one came in with far too much of a personal grudge going and a targeted attack plan.

But it's just one more of the same, and it's an open, freewheeling board.

Again, if these people had any idea of how to work "subtle," it would be a problem. As it is, no, not really.

I'd think the subtle ones wouldn't need to hide behind an alt. These alts do make a nice target for releasing the inner snark though, since no one believes they're real. I'd love to see who's who.

Oh, and bsergi1, it's "a lot" (two words) and "nitpicker." There were some punctuation issues too. And I got that from a very casual scan of your drivel. See, SR was being kind to you. I'm sure he saw a lot more that he didn't correct.

 

[scouries]

freddie fondled?????

[size=+2]Oh My Gawd!!!! Could it be possible?[/size] I just came across this news item:

Freddie the Dolphin May Have Drowned

Freddie, a bottlenose dolphin who made headlines last year when he was involved in a sex abuse court case, may have drowned in a fishing net, it was reported Wednesday in Ottawa.

Freddie disappeared from his home in Boston Harbor six weeks ago.

Three weeks later, fishermen found a drowning dolphin entangled in their nets. It was probably Freddie, according to published accounts of a radio exchange between two fishing trawlers that had been overheard.

"You've got Freddie the dolphin," one trawlerman warned the other. "If you get that back there'll be a lynching."

In his five years in Boston Harbor, Freddie was the magnet for large numbers of tourists who came to swim alongside the friendly creature. One fan, a pilot, was tried in court for indecent assault after people on a pleasure boat said they saw him fondling the dolphin's penis. The man was cleared after an expert testified that male dolphins often extend their penises to swimmers the way a human extends an arm.

The reports are likely to bolster environmentalist protests against the use of fine-meshed nylon fishing nets that scoop up fish and anything else in their way.

Six weeks ago? Isn’t that about the time my old pal stopped submitting stories? Could he have been netted to stop him from winning the SURVIVOR contest? Was it a Canadian fisherwoman who netted him? And who was the expert who testified in court?

I’m james r scouries and I’m shocked…

The funny thing to me is how upset bserg is that I come back and try to clean up my own typos in my posts when I become aware of them--and that he/she/it conveniently "misses" all of the times I've acknowledged I'm a bum speller (which is why I made the mistakes to begin with). Can't really have it both ways--either I'm an anal retentive nitpicker of everything any poster misspells or uses incorrectly or I understand how easy it is to do in posts because I do it it myself but am conscientious enough on a writer's board to try to make it right.

And what bserg also seems to have missed is that when I pick something like this out of the posts of others, I'm usually making the point that they are being anal retentive and perhaps should stop being so high and mighty or, in the case of bserg's "un-sophisticated," countering obnoxious attack with light banter. (But I don't believe for a second that bserg put that hyphen in there on purpose. That's a crock.)

Once again, it's quite clear to any truly objective reader here who is attacking who--and who isn't buying into the fight on that level.

It's amusing that bserg, like Freddie and Sarahh and Scouries, are trying to make me come back at their level (with bserg, it was most pointed in the strange "call me BS" followed up with the why won't you call me "BS" posting). It certainly puts them all in the same pew, alt and agenda wise.

P.S. Amy is my wonderful, beautiful and loving spouse. AND she has a wide assortment of different sizes, shapes and styles of "them". Plus, being a woman, she actually knows how to use them properly!

 

[scouries]

I visited your site last night serena . It was very interesting. And seemed quite professional. Congratulations.

This was only my second visit (the first was when you sent me on that wild goose chase looking for that bloody “the king has no clothes” story – which BTW I never found). I visited the site yesterday because I couldn’t figure out what you were all talking about re this e-publishing stuff.

I know absolutely nothing about e-publishing or self publishing etc. and so was quite interested in your recent posts (and those of the pilot, sarahhh and freddie ).

QUOTE serena Let me see if I can explain this slowly and clearly enough for your teeny tiny little brain...

While the above wasn’t aimed at yours truly I do have to admit that your “slow and clear” explanation didn’t answer all my questions. I’m still a little bit at sea (and I’m not talking about sailing on my yacht!). Perhaps you could clarify a few points for me (and perhaps other readers).

QUOTE serena The majority of our profits come from EBOOKS. Not print. EBOOKS… I'm getting anywhere from 35-80% of my profits with distributors, and 100% on our site.

QUESTIONS - You’ve lost me. I thought all your sales came from your site. What distributors? Are they distributing e-books or print books? I assume you meant that 35-80% of the selling price these “distributors” receive is returned to you – is this assumption correct?

QUOTE serena The majority of what we do is printing with epublishing distributors. EBOOKS. Is that clear? Not print. Ebooks. In order to do that, you have to sign contracts with the epublishing distributors, who all have different requirements.

QUESTIONS – The above is very confusing. You say the majority of what you do is “printing” and then say “not print”? Are these “epublishing distributors” you’re talking about here the same distributors you get 35-80% of your profits from in the first part? Have you signed contracts with these distributors?

On your site you offer printed versions. Who prints these books? What percent of the sales price do you make on these ones?

QUOTE serena Is eXcessica a "real" publisher? We've got about seventy-five authors and over 150 titles on the site. In just under a year's time… Yes, anyone can publish an ebook. But can you sell it? That's the real question. ..

Sounds like you’re a publisher to me. A very successful one. Maybe you could give a presentation at one of our upcoming seminars on the subject. QUESTION - Can I be so bold to ask what percent the house gets and what percent the authors receive? Clearly you must have some costs to cover.

QUOTE serena if they're into what you write. It better not be incest or noncon, and it should preferably be a romance with a happy ending. Oh, they don't really like lesbian fiction much either. Gay male they go gaga over, however. The good thing about eXcessica is that we're willing to consider things the big houses aren't…

QUESTIONS – What big sites?

In perusing your site I didn’t see any Incest stories (or at least they’re not listed as such on your GENRE page). I know you’ve written some in the past. Are there any Incest stories on your site?

Do you have any lactation stories up? Where would I find them listed under?

Out of curiosity I wonder if you could you tell me if you have a minimum age for sexual activity in your stories? Although it’s a very emotional issue I’ve always felt that LITEROTICA would be better served if it allowed authors to write and publish stories that involved younger people (perhaps as young as 14 or 16 yo?). As their rules are constituted now, 99% of classic erotica couldn’t be published on LITEROTICA.

Although I don’t write it (although I’ve been tempted to write a dolphin/human story) I wonder if you accept bestiality or must it be masked by using the old wolfman or vampire themes or other such tricks (e.g. alien dolphins visiting from another planet)?

QUOTE serena We also have a great advantage in that our numbers really help us in the marketing department. Every time one author markets their book with the eXcessica name on it, it draws reader to the site, who may buy more eXcessica books. Everyone benefits.

I understand the advantage of many authors working together and congratulate you on the concept. QUESTION - Out of curiosity where do your authors “market their books with the eXcessica name on it”? And do you sign contracts with your authors?

QUOTE serena Which led me to the idea of eXcessica in the first place. More authors, banded together, gave me the opportunity to market my own stuff for a larger venue (i.e. Fictionwise etc.) and gave other authors the same opportunity at the same time. It was a win-win.

I have no idea what you mean by this. QUESTION: Do you somehow list eXcessica books on these other sites? Are these (“i.e. Fictionwise etc.”) the “epublishing distributors” you were talking about earlier?

Any light you can shed on these questions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm sure you realize that they foam at the mouth all the more because you don't/won't descend to their level. They remind me of the little teacup poodles that yap at the feet of the Great Dane. It could squash them without any effort, but watches them with bemusement instead, secure in the knowledge that they are harmless and entertaining.

I just couldn't resist pointing out that if you really were a nitpicker, bsergi1 gave you plenty of fodder.

 

[sr71plt]

From your questions, Scouries, you seem to be more than just a bit at sea on understanding erotica publishing (why would I be surprised)?

On your first question, most of the sales are not from the eXcessica site, they are from such megidistribution sites as Fictionwise and Allromanceebooks. The eXcessica catalog is merged with those of lots of other publishers on these megadistribution sites and orders are filled directly from there. Through one of these sites, eXcessica can also send some of it titles through to CreateSpace, which will offer them in paperback form through Amazon.com as well. It's just a wide network of posting and distribution points that gives a wide exposure of the title to those browsing these megadistribution sites for their read purchases. The megasite sells and distributes the title, takes its service fee, and sends the profit--usually quarterly--back to the publisher, which takes its fee (since eXcessica is coop, there's no fee to take), and dumps the author's profit in his/her pay pal account--quarterly.

As noted several times before, this process gives many more see/buy points a self-publisher can't access for a one-off title. It also happens to meet the erotica market at the point where erotica buyers go on their own to shop (on the Internet, not in bookstores for this specific type of title--and overwhelmingly e-book, not print book).

Another interesting aspect of these megasites is that they provide rankings across the publisher realm of individual titles--all by sales, a few by reader-voted quality rating as well. This permits the more popular titles with readers to be identified. Buying a one-off self-published book not included in these rankings is pretty much an on-faith crap shoot for a reader/buyer.

Most of the rest of your questions were answered on the eXcessica site--you just didn't find them.

 

[sr71plt]

I'm sure you realize that they foam at the mouth all the more because you don't/won't descend to their level.

Yes, of course. That's where I get my kicks--my reward for having to walk through the gnat field. And so, the longer they go, and the more ridiculous and transparent they become, the greater my kicks. We reach the same endpoint we'd reach if I just ignored them and didn't jolly them along--them standing in the dust, realizing they have made fools of themselves with their own postings--but, of course, blustering otherwise to each other. It's like shooting fish in a barrel.

 

[freshface]

QUOTE freshface I never thought that I would use Scouries and normal in the same sentence…

I’m not sure you should have. Instead may I suggest you use scouries with brilliant or wonderful or insightful or helpful or informative or sexy or…

And please sir or madam, don’t join those who have attacked my friend [size=+2]freddie[/size]. He’s a kind person, a great storyteller and a loving dog owner.

jim

Sorry, but I don't think I could use any of those words as a description for you without dissolving into fits of laughter. Normal was as far as I could stretch.

As for Freddy, there was a time when he showed some flashes of wit and humor, but that is long past. Now he's just bitter and petulant. If he's a kind person, he's not showing it here. I've no idea what sort of dog owner he is, but great and storyteller are not two words that should appear together when referring to him. If he can manage to keep his venom to himself, I'll be happy to leave him alone.

 

[sr71plt]

If you are truly interested in what the megadistribution sites for erotic are and what they do, Scouries, why don't you just look them up yourself and do some research? Two of the biggest are www.Fictionwise.com and Allromanceebooks.com. I'm sure Selena would be happy to identify more of them to you--these are the only two I pay any attention to, though.

 

[Selena_Kitt]

God you are a two-faced old man, arent'cha? All nice and squirmy as a puppy when you want something...

*begbegbeg*

I should make you.

I'm going to answer the following... so that, perhaps, if someone else comes along who can actually contribute something to our site, the information will be here for them to peruse:

I thought all your sales came from your site. What distributors? Are they distributing e-books or print books? I assume you meant that 35-80% of the selling price these “distributors” receive is returned to you – is this assumption correct?

Fictionwise
All Romance Ebooks
Mobipocket
Amazon.com/Kindle
and more recently:
Smashwords

These are our distributors. They distribute EBOOKS. Yes, we've signed contracts with them. They take a percentage of profits, anywhere from 10-65%. Smashwords, for example, is brand new. They take only 10%. Amazon? They take 65%. Yes, eXcessica signs contracts with the distributors - most only accept a contract with a publisher, rather than an author. Fictionwise will contract directly with an author, but they require you have 10 titles and they ask for exclusive rights (meaning, you can't distribute them anywhere else.)

On your site you offer printed versions. Who prints these books? What percent of the sales price do you make on these ones?

CreateSpace
They are affiliated with Amazon.com, so our books are automatically listed there. They also provide ISBN numbers, which most POD (print on demand) sites don't do. ISBN numbers can be very expensive, and are required for print, but not for ebooks. As for percentage sales, it's the usual Amazon cut. Way more for them than for us! Although we get a larger percentage if readers buy them from our direct links on the eXcessica site, rather than from Amazon directly.

Can I be so bold to ask what percent the house gets and what percent the authors receive? Clearly you must have some costs to cover.

We take no profit from our authors' books sales. Nothing. Nada.
They get 100% of their profits when readers buy books from the eXcessica site (minus any Paypal fees - we use Paypal as our payment processor, and I have no control over what they charge per transaction. But this is a very small percentage. If your book costs $4.99, you usually get $4.50 of that.)

We cover costs one of two ways: 1) some authors, in return for publishing completely anonymously, have donated their profits to the site. Habu is one of these, as has been noted. 2) We publish four anthologies a year, with donated stories from our authors. This is completely volunteer/optional. But proceeds from those anthologies will go to cover business costs as well.

What big sites?

Ellora's Cave
Samhain Publishing
Loose ID
Liquid Silver
Torquere (for gay erotica)
Phaze

There are others.

In perusing your site I didn’t see any Incest stories (or at least they’re not listed as such on your GENRE page). I know you’ve written some in the past. Are there any Incest stories on your site?

Lots. It's not listed as a category - rather, it comes up on the book's page under "warning." i.e. this title contains...

Do you have any lactation stories up? Where would I find them listed under?

I have one in an anthology, but none published alone. No one's submitted any!

Out of curiosity I wonder if you could you tell me if you have a minimum age for sexual activity in your stories?

Eighteen. This is one standard I'd like to push as well, and lower the age limit, but because of the current culture, it just isn't practical.

I wonder if you accept bestiality or must it be masked by using the old wolfman or vampire themes or other such tricks (e.g. alien dolphins visiting from another planet)?

No, no bestiality either. Again, not practical. I'm not going to put myself in the way of a lawsuit. Not worth it.

Out of curiosity where do your authors “market their books with the eXcessica name on it”? And do you sign contracts with your authors?

Yes, authors sign contracts, but we take non-exclusive rights, meaning they can do what they want with their stories, distribute them elsewhere, even keep them posted at Lit if they want. As for marketing, there are tons of yahoo groups and loops and blogs and boards out there for that purpose. I provide authors with a partial list and encourage them to look for more!

If anyone else is interested in more info about eXcessica, PM me with your email, I'll send you more info.

 

[scouries]

Thank you both + ! I must say I wish the both of you hadn’t prefaced your interesting comments with a cheap shot at me but such is the world.

I was very interested when you brought up the subject but I hadn’t previously investigated it because heretofore I hadn’t any desire to see my wonderful works published more extensively than they are so far.

I took up writing only four years ago and regard it now as a pleasant hobby. At present I don’t need the money that publishing for profit would bring (and hopefully not into the foreseeable future). In fact I fear it would take the fun out of the enterprise for me.

So I’ll continue to go on as I’m doing at present, producing stories for my enjoyment (and hopefully for others). The ROYALTIES I earn here I’ll continue to funnel into my charitable projects.

Now, if you’re by any chance wondering how I can use LITEROTICA income to fuel my yacht and still call it charitable giving, the answer is quite simple. The yacht is used primarily in Marine Research and the funds help defray the cost of the six blond, good looking, female, masters and doctoral degree candidates in Marine Science who happen to live aboard the boat year round. Dolphin and Manatee research primarily.

Anyway thanks for the replies. And hopefully if I have a few follow up questions you’ll be as forthcoming.

In fact it might be helpful for all of the sites authors if you serena started a thread (perhaps a sticky one) that explained the world of e-publishing to all of us.

And while we’ll never be friends and I don’t agree with all the tactics you use, I wish you the best of luck in your publishing endeavors. As I’ve told both you and your sister in the past I quite admire the way you girls have fought for both recognition and success.

I always prefer seeing hard work rewarded… may you someday be rich and famous...

[scouries]

It’s too cold for the beach today (around 69 degrees) which explains why I’m posting

more than usual...

And my yachts out to sea with my marine biologists…

QUOTE poorbet :caning: BTW, what you should have said, to be correct, is that there are no lesbian dolphins in Florida. DUH! All the attractive lesbian dolphins moved to the west coast because it is where all the cool people and dolphins live. I mean who in their right mind wants to live on a glorified sand bar?

If there were such a thing as “lesbian dolphins” (which my lesbian expert Dr. Singh says is impossible) I’m sure they would live in California. Where else?

And you might be interested to learn that more are coming (human ones that is). Governor Crist and Mayor Diaz have pledged $300,000,000 of the Obama rescue package to repatriating Lesbians back to the West Coast.

It’s going to be much like the Mariel boatlift from Cuba so many years ago. Under the plan any Floridian who owns a boat over 14 feet long will be able to apply for Government money to cover the cost of shipping these poor lost lesbians back home via the Panama Canal.

The flotilla, which will assemble just off Miami Beach (at approximately 12th Street) on the morning of May 1st, is now expected to number over 22,000 boats of various shapes and sizes with the capacity to carry some 380,000 lesbians

Each boat owner will receive $8,175 per lesbian and will have to deliver said lesbian(s) to L.A., San Diego or San Francisco within thirty days of embarkation.

The problem is that the offer has proved so popular that we now have way too many available places (380,000) than actual lesbians in South Florida (13,122 according to the latest census). So of course boat owners have been scouring the rest of Florida (and even other stats in the Southeast) looking for candidates.

Others are advertising in the New York papers – things like “Free Cruises to California” are being used to induce poor northeners to enlist.

Other boat owners are enlisting their girlfriends, wives, mothers, etc., in a typical Miami scam to secure more of this government largesse.

Myself, I’ve signed up three hundred South Florida topless dancers and stripers and as part of the program I will transport them through the Panama Canal and on to California on the yacht I bought with my LITEROTICAN ROYALTIES. Once they’ve been delivered to San Diego harbor and counted I plan to reembarK them and bring them home. I’ve also managed to book 100 wealthy males for the voyage at $50,000 a pop. Imagine how much demand there was for a three week cruise on a ship with 300 strippers. Sold out in minutes! I also am getting a percentage of the lap dancing revenue the girls generate. (I’m giving my six blond marine scientists their annual vacation during this period)

[sarahhh]

There you go again! These days you can’t stick to any subject without throwing in these cheap personal shots can you? What’s happened to you anyway?

You were always a prick but at least you used to post with a dispassionate honesty (at least as you saw it). But now, since you decided you needed to be part of the “in” AH crowd your posts have become a joke.

Note: In the above post scouries is talking to someone he identified as Ace, in case anybody can't tell.

Hey Jim, speaking of the AH "in" crowd, what about those of us who are not? I mean, I'm a ScouriesWorld regular, but I rarely post on any other thread.

AH "in" crowd = bad. ScouriesWorld = good. I think those of us who are exclusively (well, as much as you can be) ScouriesWorld deserve something special. A Certificate of Achievement? Hey, what about a badge? One that gets you into ScouriesWorld seminars and stuff like that.

But I did post on that Literotica Authors and Their Books thread recently because a certain kitten took a cheap shot at me out of the blue, and then the person you identify as Ace piled on. I am no longer wanted over there, which is why the publishing discussion came here. You're not exactly getting the truth and the whole truth from the two individuals who responded to your questions. But stay tuned, I have a lot more to say.

For me, ScouriesWorld is the place to seek the truth, due mainly to the keen insight and objective analysis of yourself and BFW. I did call you lord over on your "100 Comments" thread. I think we need to discuss religion. I have my reasons, which will soon become apparent.

 

[sarahhh]

Not able to keep up with your alt shifting? You're having a conversation with yourself now.

Actually, I rarely edit my posts. I doubt you'll find one post in the entire ScouriesWorld kingdom where I did so. You see, if I don't, then I never get accused of what you got accused of last nite. So sometimes I just quote myself if I want to add something.

I got the impression you thought I was Bsergi1 when you posted that about the alt shifting. If so, your alt detector needs new batteries. While occasionally you can be quite the amusing fellow (not for the reasons you think), but there are few things that will prompt me to want to stay up all nite, and discussing anything with you is not one of them. Please note that Bsergi1 posted at 3:22 a.m. my time. You will not find one single post that I have made between the hours of midnight and 6 a.m.

Now, I have a very serious question. You said yesterday you teach Bible study on Sundays. How do you reconcile your lifestyle choices such as writing porn and engaging in gay sex with that?

A. Sorry, I'm not particularly interested in your posting style.

B. On reconciliations:

B1. My sex mode is bi.

B2. I don't bother reconciling them, but, by asking, you indicate you haven't read the Bible all that much. Why is Bart Ehrman, probably the current leading scholar of the New Testament, an agnostic?

Beyond that, why would you ask? And more important, why would you think I'd feel the need to discuss this with you? Who do you think you're fooling?

 

[sarahhh]

Beyond that, why would you ask? And more important, why would you think I'd feel the need to discuss this with you?

Well, you were bitching nobody wanted to talk about substantive issues. I thought I'd give you one. I have another reason, which I'll get to soon.

Hey, you spent last nite on this thread chatting it up about mostly nothing. Yeah, I did too, but at least I quit at 8:00 p.m. And you won't find me very often chatting it up in bang-bang style, or scouries or BFW. You, however, have become quite the internet chatterbox, which I have seen you castigate.

Okay, let's go back to something you did choose to discuss. I would like you to clarify this. You have a bunch of erotica books at eXcessica. You make absolutely nothing from these books, correct? A yes or no answer will suffice.

What is the title of the first book you have had published that you are willing to divulge, and where might be the best place to find it?

 

[sarahhh]

"Print on Demand" is simply a method of producing a book. It isn't ipso facto tied to "self-publishing."

All your in print books are POD (Print On Demand) and all eXcessica's in print books are POD, is that correct?

The vast majority (I'd say all, but I'm not sure) of in print books plugged on this site, on the Literotica Authors and Their Books thread or wherever, are POD. Is that correct? If not, please refer to me to a handful that are not.

Okay, let's go back to something you did choose to discuss. I would like you to clarify this. You have a bunch of erotica books at eXcessica. You make absolutely nothing from these books, correct? A yes or no answer will suffice.

What is the title of the first book you have had published that you are willing to divulge, and where might be the best place to find it?

Yes or no. (Sorry, couldn't resist). No I don't accept any money for them--in fact, eXcessica being a coop, I also edit a few of the other's books (and arrange the edit of mine myself) and serve as a submissions consultant for eXcessica--for free. I wouldn't know how to hide any monitary profit from my accountant or from the annual income statement I have to file to keep my Top Secret clearances, and, like, Freddie claims about himself (but was so worried about money he withdrew his books from an e-publisher because he couldn't follow the money), I write erotica for the fun of it and am very well off financially. And you've been told this countless times.

The title of my first published book is none of your business--for reasons that are obvious and that you've been told countless times.

Now, I've answered sooooo many questions for you. Answers are now suspended until you answer two for me--one of which you have been asked countless times.

1. What possessed you to pick the "one blowhearted piece of silly trash" posting personality for this Web site? (Truly wonder about that one, because you lay it on so thick and apparently think you impress people with it.)

and

2. Who do you think you are fooling?

OK, you get this one for free. No (I went into published print long before there even was a POD technology) and yes (like yours--except they aren't all self-published like yours was).

And it's hilarious that you are still fixated on print books after being told numerous times the world of successful erotica is in e-booking. How hardheaded and truly stupid can you be?

Dolphins are among the most sexual of animals, and are not monogamous. When aroused, a dolphin male may mate several times an hour, often with the same female but not always. There are no lesbian Dolphins!

I've been trying to catch me one of them there Dolphins, but no such luck so far.

But I did get me one of those slimy slippery suckas you have classified as an Ace. He's trying to slip off the hook, but maybe I can reel him in like BFW did on the pilot thing.

Well, Jim, let me get your take on this. You probably were not paying much attention, what with playing "Put Out or Get Out" on your boat with the Dolphins cheerleaders.

So I notice this book on Amazon.com entitled "Literotica 2: The Very Best of Literotica.com." On the first Literotica page under News there is "The Literotica Book, so go get a copy." But that's the first one, way beyond our time. Then on the next Literotica page, under Site Index, Stories & Pics, Stores, Literotica Book, there it is again, the first book. Oh, and under the Table of Contents it lists the authors/stories.

I search on Lit, but can't find out anything about the new book. Well, that's a little weird, I think. Why wouldn't it be publicized, marketed, talked about, etc.?

Okay, at this point my curiosity is killing me. I'm wondering who are the authors/stories. I can guess, of course. If it was based on talent, you know, the ability to erotically and intellectually stimulate the readers, all the stories would be you and BFW.

Then I made the mistake of asking Ace. I mean, he does have his ass on the pulse of everything that goes on here. But no, he said he didn't know anything about that book, although he professes to know everything about mine.

I mean, I don't really want to buy the book until I know what's in it. I got my money right here. You know, the green stuff with kittens instead of presidents.

I must admit dear lady that I’d never heard of Book 1 before you mentioned it let alone this mysterious Book 2.

So I set out to investigate. It took me a while but I finally discovered where they had hidden Book 1 on the LITEROTICA site. And as my eyes slid down the list I didn’t recognize any of the authors. Who are these people I wondered. Where are the LITEROTICA greats? Where were you? rgjohn? TryAnything? What the heck was going on?

Then my eyes fell on the name of Dixie Cunt Lee. What? That asshole’s not an author! “He hasn’t written anything in years,” I exclaimed aloud to the empty room, aghast that the QUEEN could somehow be associating herself with this all round General Board pervert. This sick individual who spends twenty-three hours a day starting new threads. This second class minion of the infamous KillerMuffin .

Dear sarahhh , I would advise you to completely ignore this work. It’s definitely not worth it.

I couldn’t find Book 2 but if it includes more of this Lee idiot don’t waste your time. It’ll just be garbage!

I’m james r scouries and I think somebody’s been hoodwinking the QUEEN…
