Does anyone have any recommendations for my poem Stretch Marks?? I have two people proofing my story, but no thoughts on the poem. If not, I'll assume it's good as is and turn it in to Imp. Thanks!

Does anyone object if I open up submissions to the Poetry Forum in order to get more poets involved?

I expect to have the layout of volume I completed by early next week and the contents (if not the layout) of volume II well under way. I hope everyone is happy with it & understands that there is MUCH more than just story quality to determine what goes where -- there's POV, length, kink, etc.

It looks like there'll be 10 stories and 10 poems in volume I, plus illustrations.

Imp: How many poems are you planning on having in each volume? Not meaning to sound mean to the poets, but it was said earlier that the book would sell/not sell on the basis of the stories rather than the poems, which are more of a creamy topping than the main meat of the book (what mixed metaphor?). Surely we've got enough poetry to have 2/3 per volume?

These are some more submissions of mine, all but the third one including anal. I want to include the third one because the fourth is a sequel to it.

http://english.literotica.com/stories/showstory.php?id=106564
David Scores Online Gay Male 2,817 words

http://english.literotica.com/stories/showstory.php?id=134894
David’s Double Date Gay Male 4,554 words


http://english.literotica.com/stories/showstory.php?id=146722
Marsha Works Overtime N/C 4,462 words


http://english.literotica.com/stories/showstory.php?id=153891
Marsha Gets a Raise Anal M/F 3,681 words
On this one, I have changed the name of the original story.

I have found my anal stories are getting more views but lower voteing scores than E/C or other categories. It may be because of inferior writing or more exacting standards.

I am also submitting these poems. Almost all my poems are nothing but jokes set to meter and rhyme. They are fun to write or read but I am not all that serious about them.

Poems are much harder to evaluate objectively. They can't be judged by how hard my cock gets and they have different rules regarding mechanics. I haven't edited any poems because I don't feel qualified. The poetry reviewers might be better suited for this.

I judge poetry by how it makes me feel -- what (if any) emotions it evokes. You are every bit as qualified as the next person to make that assessment.

There'll be a poem in between each story -- each with the tone or related to the story that follows in some ethereal way. ;)

I've done a template layout this way -- and I really like the way it looks. It kind of reminds me of how some authors start out a book or a chapter by citing song lyrics to set the tone.

It's true that the poetry is not the "meat" -- but that doesn't mean it's not a valuable side dish. ;)
 
Imp, sounds good to me. The way you are planning stories and poems, I mean.
If you want more poets in, go right ahead.
This project is definitely one were it's a case of the more the merrier.

And you made it clear from the start who was the boss. LOL

:D
 
I love the idea of the little poem between stories as an ease-in. Very nice!


I'm back :D And bowled over to see one of my stories "approved" Wow!
 
Not sure of word count because I just switched computers and don't have Microsoft Word on this one yet. Wordpad just doesn't want to open it or work with me. (Bastard program!) Anyway, here's the link: Joyride

Thanks, lucky. Great to have you & CD on board. The more, the merrier! :kiss:
 
Imp- I bet this has been answered elsewhere, but I promise I looked! When we're done proofing, do you want us to pm it to you or email? And do you want us to copy/paste into a message or use a Word attachment?

Thanks for all your hard work, Imp!

Did I misunderstand the post? Or was "The Spirit of Frankenstein" approved? Since the story was placed on the lsit, I've gotten one vote and comment. Something's not lining up...

maybe folks have read you before and sent their recommendation to Imp without reading again? I know thereseems to be nothing different in the stats for the story I've had accepted :)

Nice art Rhino :)
 
I like the second one better. Like you said, more sexual tension there.
Still very decent to me, but what do I know? LOL

From the land of the decadent. :cool:

:D

Poems can be PMed if they're different than the posted version. If they're not different, I can copy/paste from Lit.

Stories should be e-mailed to me as a properly-formatted Word attachment. (PM me for my addy when ready.)

Your story is vetted. All who offered endorsements did not necessarily have to vote/comment.

:rose:
 
Re rough cover ...

Personally, I'd like to steer clear of ANY people on the cover at all. Don't want to (a) get TOO erotic on the cover :rolleyes: or (b) imply just M/F couplings or any other combination.

Although the idea of a BUNCH of people cavorting in a martini glass, standing on the rim (ready to dive in), and climbing up the stem ... does have its appeal. ;)
 
Wet Dream by Tristesse

Wet Dream
by Tristesse

Last night a dream with fingers
that smoothed the cool cotton
over your belly and caused
you to flinch woke me to darkness.
It was my hand that melded
pliant clay into stone.
Did I rise to your arousal,
mouth moist and welcoming?
Would I leave you
wanting more from my touch?
You press your hand to mine
a guide to the map of your body
full of short-cuts to pleasure
but we take the scenic route
past sighs and moans
through a tangle of passion
that leaves us breathless.

I know I could approve a number of stories because I had read them already.

Hope to read some more this week. I'll try, honest!!!

:D

Um... Maybe, but it's got a total of 8 votes... lol Only Black Tulips being new (assuming a vote went with the comment). Ten recommendations... Nevermind. Must have just decided not to vote.

Thanx, guys.

Imp..you have a good point...you want to keep the cover quite simple I guess :)

the black lace wicked word collections have just a photo of a female model on each one, fully clothed but posing sexily. They're all about women writing for women...so it works. Here we want something to show the essence of the book, sexy,classy, a heady cocktail of differing taste sensations :)

I'm also thinking how it'd look on a t-shirt or a mug -- since CafePress offers that, too. :D

If these become wildly popular, we'd want something trademark-y. ;)
