I'm going to write something for this one. Maybe some of you will too? In which case I could use someone to swap with for proofreading. Any thoughts about how dark 'dark' should be here?

---------------------
ETERNALLY NOIR

This call is for the for next of these, entitled; ‘Eternally Noir’

Guidelines; We seek powerfully dark, erotic short stories of between 2,500 and 4,000 words. Elements of mystery, the supernatural, BDSM, foreboding, tragedy, fear, revenge etc., can be included. The purpose of the ebook is to shock, or scare, not to disgust the reader.

I've noticed you and I hang out on pretty much all of the same boards. I'd be happy to swap with you, 'casue I think our stuff is going to along the same lines.

I think they're looking for, like, Poe with sex. Probably not too much killing, but mysterious goings on and creeky doors and mist and such.

Okay then. I was thinking of finishing a story that I have in which a man brings back his lovers ghost to inflict revenge. It's rather explicit, homosexual.

All my back stock of dark erotica is currently submitted, so I am going to have to come up with something new.

I'll work on it today. If you want, you can email me [email protected].

I was considering writing something for this too, but I was thinking "noir" in the tradition of film noir - an deliciously bad femme fatale, a hapless alpha male, with the sex as the catalyst rather than a crime. Do you think this would fly for this publication?

 

[nolabohemian]

The guidelines look like they want something a little more gothic. Could you work in some sort of supernatural element? Maybe something like a cursed jewel or some priceless artifact related to some secret society? Something along those lines. I think the feeling of film noir would translate well, though.
