Went to the 50th Anniversary Tour show for Jethro Tull last night. Ian Anderson’s voice is rough, but gods, that flute of his… and he can still play on one leg!

I suspect that once again I won’t get anything done (Halloween Haiku anyone?) but I look forward to reading and reviewing.

I’ll be in. Lydia will return.

I’m totally in! I’ll start working on something right away—I have some ideas that have been percolating in the darker corners of my brain.

I’m soooo in! I got my submission all ready too! *rubs hands together*

Re: “Goldilocked” From JayDee on September 15, 2019 That was deliberate. I wanted readers to be able to decide for themselves where in the "teen" range Amber falls. Thank you! Glad you liked that bit and didn't mind that I didn't describe that part in great detail. I felt that doing so would make the story too repetitive. Thanks! I wanted it to be clear that while Amber is free, she'll never really be free again. *rifles through Seth Rogan's garbage for a DNA sample* 'kay. I couldn't come up with anything Mama Bear might do that would top her almost smothering Amber to death with her pussy. Thanks again!

YAY!!! I’ve been waiting

A review on A Private Triumph from @CloverReef, thanks dear. I keep that more in mind now since you’ve mentioned it before. I guess it was always something I’ve kind of done, but now I’m a bit more aware and keep trying to work it in. I like that it works and helps sell the story and setting. Glad you liked the gore. I do like to think I can do gore decently. Good to know about the lack of a proper introduction. While opening with a bang is good for the hook, I do like decently lengthed battles, so perhaps I need to think of other ways to open. Even if with action, cause you are right: need to give the reader a reason to root for Rhoda, and leave those longer battles for later when you actually care about her. I added bits more in there, mostly cause it’s this central little display piece, but it’s moving, and it’s erotic. So I put more detail into the stuff than I had originally planned. Perhaps I’ll get more opportunities to explore her character, but yeah I did want to play with the stoic soldiery type, and part of me writing this was my fascination with the Romans, but also the debauchery they used to get up to. So I figured a dedicated soldier would be just as up for that debauchery. Plus, real soldiers often are Labda was fun to write, and interesting. Slavery is so frowned upon in today’s society, yet I had a slaver character who I wanted the reader to look at just like any other merchant. Well… a sexy merchant that really likes sex anyway. Glad you thought it was all hot. that’s pretty key for a short like this me thinks. And that the part was absorbing like that is pretty good to hear.

From Mamacita on September 15, 2019 Thank you! Quality is important to me, especially when I’m writing about anthro-on-human gang rape.

Congrats on hitting that milestone and maintaining quality as well as quantity. There’s been some writers with high outputs where the quality has been fucking dire (I absolutely refuse to name names although someone else will probably say ATK) but whenever I read one of yours it’s great stuff.

I have decided to just stick to what I have been doing. While I love writing, it is something I do for my own entertainment. After thinking about it, I realized I don't need to be perfect about it. While I want readers to enjoy what I write, once I get something posted, what is more important to me is if I am happy with it. By that, I mean did I get the story out of my head in a way that I can look back and say I enjoyed writing that story. I am my own proofreader. Maybe that is why I worry so much about things like punctuation. Just because I am writing for myself doesn't mean I don't care what others think. I would be mortified to learn someone had the thoughts about something I worked hard at writing, that I have had after reading some stories. My thoughts have been far from nice, so many times.
