Have you gone to literotica.com? I imagine if you read erotica books you have, and you've seen the astonishingly bad stories there. Sometimes I feel like I'm wading through shit, and am only fortunate enough to stumble on a gem once in a rare while.
Make sure you wash your hands afterward either way.
I remember finding a totally amazing and awesome story about a Nurse that enrolled in this hospital that made all the female staff basically free use sluts for the doctors and patients. People would pay a fortune to have basic inpatient medical procedures here because they could nail the nurses however they wanted, whenever they wanted by using the "call button." Pretty amazing story.
It devolved into a strange and disgusting abusive story where the Doctors were anally raping this girl over and over to her detriment and pain, but I remember the premise and the basic story being amazing for the first five or so chapters.
That was Literotica.com gold. It disappeared for some reason, and I haven't been able to find it again. I wonder if I started writing erotica to scratch that itch this series created in me. Who knows.
So I published a short on my website the other day, and also put it up on Literotica. There is a two day waiting period, which annoys me. Can't they make it automatic? I'm waiting on getting the story out there to drum up some more interest in my writing. Sales lately have been terrible.
The question I have is, is it worth it to be writing a total short (Cheerleader wants hard anal), or should I be working on Billy's story for the Halloween special? It is already Oct 11th and I still haven't finished all three parts of the annual Halloween special. Yikes!
I'm excited for Billy and Gwen. I'm merging two of my more recent favorite characters (that haven't gotten many page reads) and letting them smash into each other while dispelling some evil from the world. They've both good guys.
I'll give you an update on whether or not Literotica.com has panned out. I published there first, and the success of my stories there, and still, inspired me to put together my first novel, "Take Her." It was the start of my smut writing career, and I hope to have some more success with writing another short for the site.
If it flops, I'll let you know. Maybe it is better to keep writing the next book. This will be 10 months of erotica writing, and 6 of publishing actively with over 30 books and many over 20,000 words. I have 4 books over 50,000 words. Wow! I publish! Too bad I don't have any noticeable sales.
You can see, just under $400 from Amazon, with another $90 from wide.
