Submitting to an Anthology
I've been post little snippets and scenes of erotica on this blog for... what, almost 2 years now? And I think it's time to take things to the next level, i.e., a full, beginning-to-end erotic story.
It would be good to write an actual story in any case, and to have a project to focus on in the midst of all this jobsearch and moving around bullshit. And god knows I've never finished anything. I should start. I'm also going to write this specifically for an upcoming anthology. I'm not exactly expecting to get chosen, but it'll be nice to have a target I'm working towards:
Obsessed: Erotic Romance for Women
To be published by Cleis Press in Spring 2011Editor Rachel Kramer Bussel is looking for romantic, primarily heterosexual erotic stories for women's erotica anthology Obsessed: Erotic Romance for Women. Final book will include couples having passionate adventures as well as new relationships. Stories can feature couples exploring new erotic territory, strangers who share a spark, exes ruining, etc. Creativity and diversity of story lines are key. You may include the hero’s point of view alongside the heroine’s but please keep in mind this book is geared toward a female audience. Kink, sex toys, exotic locations/scenarios welcome as long as there is an element of erotic romance as opposed to strictly erotica. Stories should be strongly plotted, have engaging, unique characters and be hot and original. I highly prefer contemporary settings but will consider a limited amount of historical and paranormal fiction. All characters must be over 18; no nonconsensual scenes, incest or bestiality. No poetry. For an example of the kinds of stories I’m looking for, see my anthologies Bedding Down: A Collection of Winter Erotica and Dirty Girls: Erotica for Women or the work of Megan Hart, Lauren Dane, Kayla Perrin, Marilyn Jaye Lewis, etc.
Deadline: Sept 15th
Yeah, the deadline is coming up pretty soon. I've never been one to plan extensively in advance :/ I started brainstorming story concepts today.
If any of you would like to help by reading my rough draft, once I have one, and giving me feedback, that would be awesome! Contact me at wilhelmina.wang[at]gmail[dot]com

Editor’s Pick
- Jackin’ Good Time by Sex Pistil
Trust me guys, once you go Jack Jelly, you will never want to go back. Its a non-oily, self warming lubricant, which feels like your very own precum. There are so many pros I don’t know where to start.

Off Limits for 30 Days - "You don't listen very well," I heard her hiss. "That's off limits, damn you." And there was a crack and fiery agony clawed into my back.
The Joy of Sucking Cock - I wonder at times if that is why I am such a “good little cocksucker” as W calls me. When I am deeply into it, I almost enter this place where I am both the sucker and suckee, and it is as though it is MY cock being sucked on.
This intensity gets me riled when I am tied up (photo story) - James picked up that evil strap again. I watched helplessly as he positioned himself to use it on my pussy... Ever so lightly he started. Flick, flick, flick.

Ask Lilly: How do I know if a sex toy has phthalates in it? - The studies going around are saying that phthalate exposure can damage all sorts of organs, and can possibly cause cancer. There are a lot of harmful things in our world these days that we can't avoid - so when we CAN avoid something like toxins in our sex toys, we should.

Portal. Confession #493 - It truly is a spiritual give and take, these sexual relationships I form. I can cross the threshold and see however much of someone that I choose to see, with whomever it is that I am involved with.

Make me a Match
Wil: [sticks a $2.99 price tag from a purchased energy drink on L's shirt] There, now you're $2.99.
L: So I'm a cheap slut?
Wil: You're my cheap slut!
L: [laughs] I'd totally put that on a T-shirt and wear it. "Wilhelmina's cheap slut."
Wil: Next time we're at Zeta Mu I should just write it on your chest and you can walk around shirtless.
Later...
L: What do you want for dinner?
Wil: I'm fine with leftovers. Since I'm, you know, a classless ho and stuff.
L: [laughs] I love that you just said that. Hey, you should put that on a shirt. Then we can match!

Evolution – Open Marriage, Swinging, & Polyamory - Do we REALLY believe that there is one love for us? Do we really believe there’s one cock or pussy to fuck for the rest of our life?
Sweet To Taste - “I’m dinner tonight,” she breathes. “So don’t let me get cold before you start feasting.”
Having a boyfriend makes me feel fat - I know my worth as a person isn’t devalued by my weight – but I can’t get past the notion that my worth as a partner is.
~ e[lust] Editress ~
Fucked by a Stranger - For as long as I can remember, I’ve had this bizarre, twisted fantasy. The roads leading to it were different, but the end result the same: a stranger fucking a very willing me in my bed in the dead of night.
~ Featured Post (Lilly’s Pick) ~
At Her Mercy - “You have been such a good boy today. Where do you want me to put your cock next?” she said with a wink.

- Wahl of Orgasms by Quizzical Pussy
People come up to me all the time and say, “Quizzical Pussy, I was so entirely sorry to learn of the demise of your Jack Rabbit.”
At this point I always give my little funereal grimace/smile that I practiced when all my grandparents were dying off; I nod gravely. “Thank you for being here. It means so much to the family.”
