Anyone know of a decent publisher? I’m working myself up to trying this again soon as the moving drama calms down a bit.

Well said! It’s tragic you were discouraged before, but it’s good to see you’re powering through and coming back to your art. It’s great to write for yourself, but don’t be too hard on yourself for keeping your audience in mind too. Of course you can’t please everybody: some people out there will never be pleased no matter what. But you can get to know your particular audience, and what appeals to them so you can have fun playing with their emotions. But for the sake of staying on topic… Of course I agree with the people who said it depends on the characters and the situation. I personally don’t mind having chars jump into bed immediately, as long as there’s a damn good reason and it makes sense to the plot. Personally if I have a promiscuous main, I’ll have sex from the start, sometimes even with the main love interest, but if you do that, you need to balance it with a heap of conflict between them to make that initial roll in the proverbial sack interesting. Good luck with your story, and don’t hesitate to ask more questions!

I finally took the plunge. I am now one of those people… I joined reddit.

There are some real incel weirdos on reddit, but I have seen worse on twitter tbh. At least reddit’s moderation is generally ok, and means that subs like TwoXChromosomes are inclusive!
For BW’s confused reaction – the broken arms thing relates to This ancient Ask Me Anything and how on reddit in every other thread someone will find a way to reference it.
I, uh, I like the puns.

Ikr? Been writing online since the dinasaurs and this was the only place I kept coming back to.

As a proud Canadian, I successfully avoided the Trailer Park Boys ever since their unfortunate inception. I thought the whole thing was stupid. The glimpses I got seemed boring and ridiculous and offensive…
Now I’m addicted to the goddamn show. Call help.-

Redwall if yer into animation.
-
friggin loooove kids in the hall and orphan black. Never heard of redwall, I’ll have to check it out!
-
Older cartoon kinda meant for kids. Based off a “Children’s” book series by Brian Jacques. Basically this fantasy world inhabited by anthropomorphic animals… who then slaughter the fuck out of each other. Seriously, the first book “Redwall” was a bunch of brigand rats besieging an abbey that had to learn how to defend themselves, including the fact that they had to take lives in order to protect all those who took refuge in their abbey.
And that book was turned into a Kids TV show.

Why do all the ideas that sound awesome and inspiring at night sound so ridiculous and boring in the morning? Is it the sun?! Is the sun ruining all my fun? Bite me, sun!

Everything and anything is possible at night, because the majority of people around you are dreaming, and you deal in dreams.
Then, in the cold light of day, those same people are suddenly wide awake and cynical, and you know all they want to do is criticise.

The Dropped Soap (Working Title, lol) A site to inspire and help Erotica Writers. There be prompts, challenges, resources, music, and more to come. (If anyone’s bored enough, I would love to get content contributors! Blog posts, articles, whatever.) https://plagueclover.wordpress.com

My first thought for natural knockout drugs was opium poppies. Though I'm not sure how quickly that would take affect and how it would work on a dart. After a quick Google search of paralytic plants I got one invidiared mentioned. Aconite (at least i assume aconite is the same as aconitine?) , but that doesn't just paralyse, like most paralytics it paralyses the heart and kills but maybe not always? Or since its a fantasy setting you can use a little artistic license.

Google “Naked Man Orchid”. Just do it. Now you know that’s a thing that exists. You’re welcome.

@InBrightestDay If I had a car, I'd bumper-sticker the f*** out of that.
@WillowDarkling I'm now 95% convinced orchids steal souls so... I dunno... Invest in some voodoo books or something too?

Here you go… It’s a PDF file, with an inspirational poster I made, as suggested by InBrightestDay. Hope it works for you guys

Review for Worship @InBrightestDay LOL I’m glad you got a laugh out of it. This story was an indulgent thing for me. A little bit of PWP char development for a char I loved but never really got to use in the context he was created for. Blackbird is from a fic with 16 completed chapters that I have pulled from the site, just because I had dropped it and don’t like having dead projects up. Anyway, thank you for another awesome review. <3

IKR? I adore snakes… from a distance. Really, I adore all things with teeth from a distance – including people lol. Fucking with stigmas is fun.

Review for Kiss of the Snake @InBrightestDay LOL you certainly win the award for longest review I’ve ever received. That’s awesome. Instead of putting it all here, I’ll just quote the bits I’m responding to directly! I admit, I’m not entirely familiar with the religious significance. I’m aware there is some of course, but I was raised atheist and have never been all that interested in learning religious stuffs, so I’m quite ignorant on what that significance is. I like that it had a strong cringey reaction for you though, because it was meant to represent a lot of things I find problematic with power as it stands in this story. Like Sadism and entitlement. I think it’s kinda in between. Like he believed in Serpentina, but though the consort thing started as a scam, he slowly grew to believe his own lies over the years. Hard not to! Everyone else did! Corine was unlucky. I don’t really go into it in the story, but the drought was completely natural, she just happened to be born at the start of it, and the toxic powers and the superstitions of the people twisted that coincidence into something they believed was evil. You’re right tho, that Corine was born to right the wrongs, she just had to find out she could do it first! This was my intention for it anyway, lol. I’m glad you liked the story! Don’t worry, I didn’t take anything you said in the review as negative – since this story is so thick with political messages for me, which I’ve been dying to do for ages – I enjoy the opportunity to talk it out with someone. So thank you for the encouraging review!

Review for Brick and Bone @pippychick Aw you left a review too! That’s so sweet. God, I love ghost stories. Yet somehow whenever I write one it turns out like this. I’m so glad I managed to tether that MC to the reader, at least in your case, because even though he’s doing naughty things, I adore him so, and I want everyone else to adore him too. But I guess that could be said by most writers about most of their characters. Thank you so much, Pippy!

Screw it, I’m posting! @JayDee I feel like there’s a bigger story at play with the temple thing, but I never did figure out what it was lol. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Especially the crowd stuff. I was worried it wasn’t very hot, but I posted it anyway because I felt like I needed to give that old woman’s story to the world lol. Thank you so much for the review!

My cat has been trying to convince my dog to cuddle him for a good two years now but the dog is too scared. So the cat just spent the last few hours using a big farty dog ass as a pillow. That, my friends, is dedication.

Review for “Screw it, I’m posting” @JayDee It was absolutely meant to feel a bit erotic. I intended there to be a ton of tentacle sex, and then I blocked so there wasn’t. I’m glad the second one is more of a horror vibe. I did it because the first one felt too silly and I wanted something more serious and dark. As for drabbles, I admit I call anything short without a full plot arch a drabble. Like I’m vaguely aware there are wordcounts to define these things, but I never bothered to learn and decided to define them my own way lol. And for like 10 whole seconds there I actually considered trying to do a “Post it: I’m screwing” spinoff. Thank you for the review!

I love this! It's got everything that's awesome in this world: words... A list. Don't mind me. I'm just going to spend all night groping this thing.

Review for Screw It, I’m Posting (A collection of drabbles and short shorts.) @pippychick You are sooo fucking sweet. I honestly didn’t think anyone would read this, lol both because they’re drabbles, and because I kinda intentionally undersell it. I’m glad you loved it. I don’t think they’re that impressive, and I’m certain they’d be underwhelming to most people not in my head, experiencing this world, but I actually loved these drabbles too. So it makes me happy that I’m not alone in that. Thank you for the encouragement

I told myself I’d wait a week in between posting more. Then I told myself I’d wait a day. Now I feel like waiting an hour is stretching my limits! I want to rain gratuitous porn upon the world!!!!!

I expect to see 7 PWPs posted in 7 days! Minimum! Lol.

QuoteI want to rain gratuitous porn upon the world!!!!!
I am going to use this line at some point, completely free of context...

And on the 7th day, God said, "I want to rain gratuitous porn upon the world!" And so porn sites were created.

Kiss of the Snake @JayDee IKR, it’s like they’ve never even watched witchy movies or something. The whole “I can’t possibly be wrong, so the fact hitting me in the face must be the problem!” mentality amuses me, so I enjoyed this King. But don’t worry about the henchmen: labour unions come in real quick. Thank you for the review!

I'm in a strange mood. I'm nervous I think, because I gave ninestar a poke. And the implied no I decided to accept last month is way easier than getting the official email lol. I'm not pretending I know what they'll say. But for my own sanity I gotta brace myself. I also have a ton more respect for those of you who have gone through rejections and kept on truckin

Well, you know how my rejection experience went... And that was within the three months... And the other who was accepted happened at about 5 months, so there is that... But like Pippy said... They'd be nuts not to take yours.

High praise coming from you. <3 And I could really use Blackbird's help right now. Been dying to write something dark and thoroughly depraved again

A review for Kiss of the Snake @pippychick I seriously adore you, Pippy. I’m so happy you enjoyed it, and calling it a dark fairytale made me blush. I like little challenges like this that allow me to indulge in a societal message or two. Thank you so much for the review!

Kiss of the Snake (A oneshot challenge fic) Review responses! @Tcr I’m glad Corine drew you in. Even though she doesn’t start out in a position of power, I really wanted power to be a consistent theme, so it was important to get a few hints in there at an inherent power. I do love witchy characters, and thanks to @Sinfulwolf and her contributions to the holiday fics, I was inspired to play with one. Thank you for the review. @Sinfulwolf I am actually really wanting to do something more with the setting itself. Though my ambitions tend to be more adventurous than my typing fingers. You hit the messages I intended right on the head, so it makes me happy they came through clearly. Thanks for the review!
