Acksherly, this thread is about my review blog. The chaos of summer is behind me. I have managed (just) to get back alive from Über Stepford. My line managers have successfully not given me any employment till next February. So I can return to my writing in peace.
I've written three new reviews on the blog, of TXRad's Deer Island, MSTarot's My Lady and DLynn's Ethan's Grace - Exhibitionist Scene. I hope to do more, so if your story/blog/book is in my long queue then be patient! I will get round to it.
Please visit the blog and read the reviews. Let me know what you think of the blog as I am seriously interested in developing it. I think it would benefit us as erotica writers to have critical reviews out which showcase our work as good writing rather than pornography.
Lots of us blog as well as publishing our erotic writing on here. Please do feel free to post on this thread about a blogpost you just wrote (not necessarily erotic), or one you read and enjoyed, or any other bit of writing you wanted to flash about.
I'm writing my review blog for two reasons. Mainly it's part of the serious research I actually do do on Sex and Relationships Education. My professional and carefully researched opinion is that SRE is rubbish. I realised that there is some terrific and highly enjoyable writing out there on the internet which does a much better job. However, there is a lot of scary stuff too and no way for an erotica virgin reader to pick out the lighter more romantic stories from the seriously hot and heavy. So I set up my blog as a gateway for young people into online erotic writing.
Secondly, as I worked, I realised that online erotica writers have little critical feedback to depend on. Serious writers like not only people who say: I LOVED it! I CRIED! I had like SEVEN orgasms while reading it. We actually like to hear when people say: the plot was great but could you tweak the dialogue? As well as researching SRE, I am a cultural studies critic so I decided to do that too.
I am looking to develop my blog but I am rubbish at making money out of things, LOL. So if you think it has potential and you want to be part of the project, drop me a line. I have a funding body in mind I think would put money into it; I'm looking for people to join in who might have a good business head, website design knowledge, links to American or Australian universities, since I am thinking of promoting the blog to student unions.
I'm also delighted to have guest reviewers. You could have a link to your submissions page or your own website/blog if you want to write up about a story you particularly enjoyed. (Please read the blog rules if you would like to do this.)
'Kay folks! a final note on the shoes. I did buy boots
but not the black snugly shaped ones with heels cuz they were not made for walking. I bought the sort of boots which look demure - at first glance . If I make lots of money out of my blog or the line managers miraculously realise they want me to do a bit more teaching after all, I will run back and get the black boots and post pix on here. Perhaps for Christmas I can fill them with a stockinged leg .
(Acksherly if the blog takes off I will buy fucking thigh high boots. Er ... I mean something suitable for an ex-rugby player with mommy fat 
.)
