This used to be the CAVEAT section, now maybe it will be about visiting the bio section or maybe a rotating feature with information about featured author, artist reader - who knows
Story Submission Guidelines
We want a variety of material, from sexual stories so tender they take your breath away to hot, sweaty fantasies that are adrenaline rushes from start to finish. Our desires range from contemporary stories with plot, tension and conflict where sex is just one integral component to non-stop, wall to wall sexual fantasies and everything in between.
We have heterosexual, lesbian and gay literature sections.
Our present categories are "Men & Women" (general erotic heterosexual stories, one, two, three or more people), "Lesbian, "Gay", "Scrumptious Smut " (our version of those men's magazine letters of what I did on my summer vacation, business trip, or on the conference room table........we all know those are true, aren't they!). As the project grows we hope to branch out into additional categories.
We require writing, crafted with style, with elegance and grace. We
want words that will hold up, inspire and excite our listeners time and
time again. We're not looking for "he stuck his rod in her hole and
pumped hard”. Your words should inspire amazing images from our
imaginations as we sit back, close our eyes and listen to your vision wash over
us.
All sex should be consensual. The usual caveats apply; no underage sex, no incest, no violence, no bestiality, etc. They can be serious. They can be silly. The focus is on fun and pleasure.
Stories should be approximately 800 - 2000 words in length - something that takes about 5 to 15 minutes to read aloud.
Please send your work only as ASCII text within the body of an e-mail. Do not send HTML or formatted attachments. They will not be opened. Double space lines to separate paragraphs.
Pseudonyms are, of course, acceptable, but please include your real name, your email address and a word count, along with the title at the beginning of the piece. Also include any other formats or places your story appeared.
Include the word "Submissions" or "SUBS" in the subject line along with the title. You may include a category in the subject line if you wish.
Send stories to
This is a new venture. We expect to have it up and running sometime in 2007, It keeps getting postponed. There's an awful lot to do!! We do not know how long it will take to select stories. If you haven't heard back in two months, please contact us.
Payment and Rights
The work must be original and entirely yours, no plagiarism, no copyright infringement, etc. Payment will be $20.00 per story. We request exclusive electronic (audio) rights and non-exclusive print rights. We need to be able to include excerpts and summaries of each story in the audio description. We also need to distribute print copies to the people who will be recording the stories.
Stories that have been published elsewhere, in print or on the web are acceptable, as long as the rights we request are legally assignable to us. You may continue to submit and publish the story in print or on the web, just not in audio format. Nor may you resell the audio rights to anyone else. Presently we are not planning CD collections. If we do, those rights will be negotiated separately. Our goal is to be as fair as possible to everyone.
Financially, we realize it isn't much. If this takes off and becomes a huge success then we'll start paying more per story and/or royalties on each download if we can figure that out. We want this to be a positive and rewarding experience for everyone involved.
