Actually, I missed it: The first porn story I ever wrote went up on the "Nifty" site on July 15, 2005, but I didn't know about Lit then, and didn't post it here until August 27, 2005.
I posted that first story with all the trepidation of a young virgin in a "first time" story: "I am trembling and nervous, not sure about this, but can't deny my excitement, so please be gentle . . . " I had no idea what to expect - my guess was either "dropped in a black hole and no comments ever received," or "hearing from creeps whom I would rather have kept their raincoats closed.”
Instead, I received dozens kind notes from nice, normal, good people (who just like to read stories about hot lesbian sex
.) One of these "fans" told me about Lit, and the rest is – history? Personal history, anyway.
If anyone had said a year ago, "Roxanne - you will be a popular porn writer," I would have laughed (and secretly felt a little thrill). The entire experience has opened an exciting new “room” in my life. I've made marvelous friends from distant places, and been allowed to express the "sex positive" side of my personality in ways that would raise eyebrows in the "real world."
So thanks for a great year to my AH colleagues (including the "honorable opposition" in the political threads
.) Hugs to my close friends here (you know who you are 
), a salute to the proprietors of this wonderful web site, and most of all, thank you from the bottom of my heart to those wonderful readers whose reads, comments and votes make the entire process such a delicious thrill for all of us.
