Hey everyone,
I don't usually post here very often, but one of my goals this year is to post more frequently on erotica boards as I'm becoming more and more interested in becoming a self-sufficient self-published author (as I have a lot of fun writing erotica) and would like to give back to the community with my participation innit.
I was also thinking of a fun group experiment I'd like to try to coordinate - with your help.
I've written one relatively short novella (to date), and that experience taught me that getting reviews for your book when you're a literary nobody is bloody difficult. As part of an experiment, I was completely upfront with my close circle of friends about the fact that I was writing an erotica book, and though they each and all said they would read it and review it - they ultimately didn't.
Now, I don't blame them (well, I do - bastards) but I can't do so seriously. What I would like to do, however, is solve the problem by putting together a group of active reviewers that, once or twice a month, collectively read and review a story/book and either publicly posts positive reviews/feedback or privately posts negative reviews/feedback (in order to promote sales or promote author improvement - trying to avoid and limit negative shittyness here).
This is not a circle jerk, mind you. I would like authors to be as honest and as brutal with others as they would be in reviewing their own work.
I'll reserve this space for participating authors and post announcements/etc here.
WHO'S WITH ME
(cricket noises)
tl;dr
Requirements;
Who knows? This might turn into something bigger.
PARTICIPATING AUTHORS (and genres of preference);
Tom_Lym (M/F exclusive

MARCH STORY REVIEW;
The Breaking of Allison by lovecraft. [4/5]
"This is an excellent venture into hardcore BDSM territory by (lovecraft68). Normally BDSM not my cup of tea, but the story was a page turner. Only shame there wasn't more".
(Post #40 for in-depth review.)

tl;dr
If you want your erotica story/book given an honest and thorough review, post here.
Positive reviews will be posted publicly (3+/5) and negative reviews (<3/5) will be privately messaged/posted in this thread to avoid tanking sales.
Reviews must be honest and the brutal (and hopefully comedic, at least) harshness of the review will be decided upon by each individual.
Requirements;
- Have at least one book or story e-published (so we can review it and give you publicity).
Who knows? This might turn into something bigger.
