Thanks For the Past Year!

Woo! Happy New Years Eve!

First Time at the Gyno is now available to read on Lit!

I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful New Years Eve planned =)  Remember - drinking and driving is bad. Have a DD, call a cab, or find out the number of a place that will drive you for free if you're drunk (they exist).

I just wanted to say thank you to all of you for making this past year really great for me. I truly appreciate every single comment and feedback email that I receive, it helps keep me motivated to keep up with the writing.  It doesn't matter whether you're anonymous or not, I'm grateful to know that there are people out there who are reading my work and loving it.  Of course, I do notice those who leave their names, and it really does tickle me pink when I start recognizing someone's name over and over again.  AquaPrincess was probably the first one who stood out, but now I get excited over a lot of names - joodle, delisha, fifi, tx, gemini, eliza, etc. etc. (I couldn't possibly name them all, although those are the ones off the top of my head that I immediately recognize). I love hearing from all of you =)

I probably wouldn't have kept writing this year without all of the feedback I got upon my return to Lit, and I definitely wouldn't have started putting out anything on Amazon without the suggestions of readers, so thank you all so much for the support you've given me this past year and pushing me to farther than I would have gone on my own. I can't wait to see what the next year brings!

As a little happy end of year / beginning of new year titillation... here's a picture (of me):

Toy Review: Hitachi

One of my Christmas presents to myself this year was a Hitachi.

 

The first time I ever saw one was on the episode of Sex in the City where Samantha loses her orgasm and her favorite vibrator breaks - it's a Hitachi. I looked at it and thought "really? that's your favorite?"  It's meant to be a personal body massager and you can pick one up at Sharper Image, Brookstone, etc. or online.  I just think it's funny the stores that you can find it at. There is no dildo part unless you buy attachments (which I did, more on that in a moment) and so I was rather skeptical of its use.

Fast foward a little less than ten years and I'm checking out porn that I got for free on Lit (if you buy a certain amount at their toy store they give you free minutes) as well as looking at pics on FetLife and I start noticing that there are a lot of Hitachis being used on bound women. In fact, there seems to be almost a fetish behind it. Then I get onto Twitter and someone I'm following re-tweets a Hitachi post, so I start following Hitachi... which constantly re-tweets posts from men and women about how much they love their toy, etc. 

 

Okay well now I'm curious.

 

So I decide to order one for Christmas.  It comes in the mail - whoo-hoo!  Hubby's not home! Perfect time to experiment. I often prefer to start my experiments when he's not home, especially when it comes to playing with myself because I'm a little shy about doing that in front of another person.  Plug it in... it only has two settings low and high... spread my legs and set it where it will do the most good before flicking the switch to Low.

 

HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

 

First of all... talk about a pussy massage.  Folds vibrating... everywhere. Even where the head wasn't touching. Since the head is made of a kind of soft material it means that it's not too rough to hold it directly against your most intimate bits. In fact it feels pretty fucking fantastic. Then I moved it up towards my clit and just about levitated off the bed.  It took under a minute for the first climax to hit and then I had to move the thing away before I went into oversensitive post-orgasm painful territory.

 

I can't imagine what it's like for the women I saw in the video who are left with the damn thing pressed against them and no way to escape.  There's no way I'd be able to do that for myself, I would have to be tied down and someone would have to be doing it to me. Self preservation demanded that I remove it.

 

Since that first time I've gotten a little bit better at drawing it out, but it still doesn't take me very long. One thing to be careful of, as with any vibrator, is not getting dependent on the toy however. Really strong vibrations can end up numbing your sensitive parts and the effect can take a long time (as in weeks or possible months) to go away if you overuse any toy. And over-using the hitachi is EXTREMLY TEMPTING.

 

When I got the Hitachi I also got an attachment, as I mentioned. I chose one that would use both holes and had a clit attachment.  The best way I found to use this toy was to ride it.  It's also the best way I've found so far of slowing down the road to climax, it took me longer with the attachment than without.  I'm probably going to order some more attachments.  Just to see what they do. I'm a curious kitty.

 

I'm also curious to see what effect it has on hubby, but I haven't done that yet. I'll do a secondary review on it once I've got more attachments and have played with it a bit more.  What I will say for now is that it's quite a bit of fun, but it doesn't last very long for me, the idea of orgasm torture has taken on a whole new terror, and it's the best toy I have for getting off a quick one when I'm feeling the need but don't have more than a minute or two.  That used to mean that I was just going to have to go on being horny and it's quite a relief that that's no longer the case.

End of the Year Thoughts

Wow... I can't believe that 2012 is almost over. It's been a pretty big year for me. Not only did I come back to Literotica and start writing again, but I also managed to make my way to the #1 favoritest author spot on the favorites page (and it looks like I'm going to be holding that position! WOOT!), won my first seasonal writing contest, and have started publishing some of my books on Amazon! All in all... pretty damn exciting for me! Plus, I also went to Harry Potter World, Disney World, celebrated my first wedding anniversary, my first ever Redskins game, and Florida for the first time!  I've had a pretty damn exciting year. Next year is looking pretty good too.

 

I've been on a bit of a writing craze this week... I think I have this idea in my head that as soon as I finish the Poker Loser Trilogy I'll be able to turn all of my concentration to the conclusion of the Venus Rising Quartet and the Stronghold Doms. Granted, I could probably split my time between the two evenly, but right now Winning Hand is definitely taking the majority of my focus. I'm hoping to have it done fairly quickly and then I'll be finished with it. Not that I don't love Allison and Todd, but I can't lie... I find the Venus characters much more intriguing at the moment. Still, I need to finish the trilogy, so that's my immediate goal. And I am having a lot of fun with it, because Todd gets much rougher than Justin or Liam.  Eventually some of the Stronghold Doms will get as rough (or rougher) than Todd with their subs, but that's in the future, so for now I'm enjoying Todd's antics =)  Of course I'm still working on Venus Transcendent as well, just not as much as I am on Winning Hand.

 

I'm glad that everyone enjoyed the conclusion to Being the Maid (at least, from the comments I've gotten so far it certainly seems like everyone enjoyed it)... I had a lot of fun writing it and I enjoyed the way the story ended up.  For those who thought I could have continued... yes I could have but it would be a different story. There was no way to continue it as a non-con story and that's what it started out as.  I probably will not continue Garrett & Bridget's story, however there's been a lot of requests for a story about Samuel's future (which is something I was already considering when the requests started coming in) and it's possible that I will do that.  It won't be immediate though and it won't be another long series if I do it. I don't think anyway. I'm still pondering possible storylines for him if I write a continuation of his story.

 

I've started work on finishing Witch.  Yay! That's another plot-heavy story, which isn't bad, it just takes me long to write those.  In the meantime, I needed to do something less plot heavy to let my brain rest a bit and decided to fulfill a reader request that was made for a story involving a doctor. Kind of surprising that I haven't had much to do with medical stories... there's a lot of elements there that often really appeal to me and yet I've never written one. Strange right? Anyway. I had fun just whipping that one off and it's been submitted, should be out in the next couple of days. It's called First Time at the Gyno and it's in the non-con category. As short non-con stories go I think it's one of my better ones... might be all the practice I've recently gotten in that particular category =D Now I'll be moving my focus back to Witch and doing my best to finish that in a timely manner.

 

So that's what's going on with me. I hope everyone has a great last weekend of the year!

Wanna Bet?

So, I was torn between making a revised Wanna Bet? part of an anthology or setting it out as a standalone... and ended up deciding on standalone. It's pretty different from the Literotica version... it doesn't have as many sex scenes, for one.  I only did about half of the original bets because the storyline/romance ends up taking on more importance than the sexual acts and the story ended up coming to its natural conclusion sooner than it did when I wrote it for Literotica and was concentrating on the sex.

Derrick and Kerry have been best friends for a long time, with a long standing ritual of bets that tend to push them beyond the bounds of friendship, but they never act on - or even acknowledge - any feelings that they have beyond being best friends. Somehow their relationships with other people never work out but that's okay because they always have their friendship to fall back on. In fact, they've gotten further sexually with each other than with anyone they've dated.

Their good friends Janice and Missy take it upon themselves to push Kerry and Derrick to admitting their feelings by beginning their own campaign to set Derrick and Kerry up with other people. Unsure of where they want their relationship to go Derrick and Kerry are still refusing to admit their feelings, but the nature of their bets pushes the boundaries of friendship farther and farther.

Will Janice and Missy's plan work or will small jealousies overcome the friendship? Will Kerry and Derrick ever admit their feelings for each other or will their bets just become a thing of the past?

This is a 14,475 word novella containing graphic and erotic sex.

Being the Maid Conclusion

YAY!

Chapter 10 of Being the Maid is finally available on Lit!

I was starting to get sooooooo frustrated at how long that was taking. Geezie! So, very glad it's finally out. 

I had a wonderful holiday and I hope everyone else did too... now it's back to the daily grind *sigh* At least until next week when the NY celebrations start =) YAY!

Not too much else to report... managed to do a little bit of writing over the weekend but not a lot. Working hard on the books. Starting to work on Witch today. Good stuff!

Still Waiting...

I was really hoping that Chapter 10 of Being the Maid would be up by now, but it looks like the holidays are slowing down the publication rate on Lit or something. *sigh* Certain times of the year it just takes longer than usual I guess since the people who approve the stories probably have a lot going on.  Still... super frustrating when I know that people are waiting and I'm like dude... I SUBMITTED! It's not my fault!

Anyway. Holiday times also mean I'm not getting as much writing done as usual and I haven't had time to re-read Witch yet. So what writing I HAVE been doing is focused on the books, which is definitely not a bad thing since it means that I'm getting work done on them =) Had lots of holiday stuff going on this past weekend... got more going on today and tomorrow and then life is back to normal until busy season at my day job starts in January. But I'll be getting as much writing done as possible between now and then =)

Something's wrong with The Venus School of Sex on Amazon, I'm trying to figure out how to fix it now and it should be available again soon... I hope.

Hope everyone who celebrates it is having a Merry Christmas Eve and I hope everyone else is having a good Monday!

End of the World?

Probably not.  A lot of people who actually study the Mayans believe that this is the end of an 'era' after which we move into a new world consciousness. Which sounds interesting and hopefully good to me =)

 

At any rate, let's hope it's not the end of the world because I just submitted Chapter 10 of Being the Maid last night. Man is it looooong. Ended up being 6 Literotica pages, which is over 30 pages in Word. I knew it was going to be ridiculously long.  But I think I'm pretty happy with it... just nervous that other people won't be happy with it. Considering everything that Bridget went through... well let's just say that putting some romance into that wasn't the easiest thing in the world!!! So that should be out within the next couple of days. I'm going to be super curious as to what everyone thinks.

 

Kind of a relief to be done with it... and at the same time kind of sad. I really enjoyed those characters. And, to be perfectly honest, it's much easier to write something new than it is to return to something old and finish it. Completing Witch is going to be a whole new kind of challenge for me. Which is good =) I'd hate to be resting easy on my laurels or anything lol.

 

I also want to put out a few standalones. It's harder to do those though, because people usually want some kind of continuation. And sometimes I end up wanting the story to continue even though I originally mean it to be a standalone LOL.  It's very complimentary that people want the characters and story to continue, but sometimes I'm only good for the one go.  The series that I write take a lot of motivation and drive behind them, because they take so much more effort. And sometimes I just don't have that kind of motivation and drive to continue the story. I can usually tell from the beginning whether or not it's going to be one I can continue - I didn't use to be able to do that, but after having been doing this for years now I'm usually able to tell right off the bat.

 

Anyway. If you're worried about the world ending and you're hoping to survive, make sure you remember William Shatner's advice - Don't wear a red shirt ;)
