Requesting an editor for my first erotic story

[rjjj]

I would much appreciate it if someone could read a story I have written. The story is about 1200 words long and is about someone returning to sex after a long period of celibacy. It would probably be categorised on literotica as "Erotic Couplings". I have successfully written fiction in other genres but this is my first serious attempt at writing Erotic Literature.

What I would specifically like to learn from an editor is whether or not the story works as Erotic Literature. (As well as the locations of the inevitable few remaining typos and infelicities.)

Thanks in advance,

R.

If you can wait until Monday or Tuesday I can take a look at it for you.

Thanks MistressLynn, that would be brilliant!

I shall assume you are going to PM me with instructions for sending you the story.

Thanks again,

R.

No, don't assume she'll PM you, you need to PM her. As a writer asking an editor to invest their time and effort to edit your story, the writer needs to remain proactive. PM her and wait for her reply.

Hey AS. Are you trying to emulate theassholewhoshallremainnameless? You're very caustic lately, it just doesn't suit you at all.

You don't know if MissLynn wanted to PM her when she was ready or not. You're the one doing the assuming here and, allow me to say, I don't like the tone you've just used.

If you're trying to emulate theassholewhoshallremainnameless, please do it on your own time and in PM's. I have enough of one asshole to deal with, I don't want to deal with two.

Any question who is careening out of control here?

Sorry if I caused any offence, I am new here and I was slightly nervous about seeking attention for my first erotic story.

BTW I'm a he not a her, though I've been told I can look very fetching in a dress.

I'm sorry about the gender confusion. I'll remember it now.

Don't apologize and you haven't caused any offence. AS is quick on the reacting lately and he needed to be called on it, but usually he's one of the good guys.

You're Out Of Line!

I've been communicating with Mistress Lynn via PM coordinating our editing efforts. I'm a bit surprised that you have found fault with what I've posted. Not sure why you've written what you have.

If, as you say, I have been "caustic" lately, I would appreciate some examples that perhaps I may have an opportunity to explain?

I only ask for an opportunity to defend myself.

I think it was the tone the message seemed to have.

At the time I didn't think to add to my post that I was going to PM them. I suppose I felt it was between the author and myself. I see now that wasn't the best way.

A new author doesn't know the ways here, either. Their assumption I would PM them was fine since nothing is stated anywhere telling otherwise.

So we all learned.

Let's leave it and go on from here.

It's all good. I love LadyC at any rate.

And I love you too, AS. MissLynn explained why I thought you were out of line better than I could have. I dunno, maybe I'm the one overly sensitive lately but there were a few times where I thought you were a bit 'caustic'. If it ever happen again, I'll let you know, okay?

Huggss!

Welcome

Sorry if I caused any offence, I am new here and I was slightly nervous about seeking attention for my first erotic story.

BTW I'm a he not a her, though I've been told I can look very fetching in a dress.

A sense of humor is a GOOD thing! Wanted to say this earlier but first needed to get the other issue taken care of.

You'll find we're a good bunch, slightly dysfunctional in our own ways, but we all mean well. In time you'll learn who to go to for what, but that will take time.

Please don't be bashful if you have any questions. I can understand starting a thread can be intimidating at first, so feel free to use me as a resource. I know the others feel the same. That's the reason for PM.
