Hello all,

A bit dramatic of an entrance, but that's the sort of mood I'm in today. I received a tip on the Internets that I might be able to hire a freelance writer here, which is one reason I joined the board. The other would be my own growth as a writer. I've poked around a bit and was pleased with all the talent and community this site pulls together. I think that's absolutely wonderful!

If anyone cares: I'm looking for an erotica writer to author content for my own personal use. Though I write erotica myself, it just isn't the same as reading another's work. My taste leans into the darker, taboo side of the house, but why not go all out if we're going to fantasize? Anyhow, I have been on sites like Guru, Fiverr, and FreeLancer, but the sad truth is that most submissions, paid or not, were awful. Any pointers on how I might go about that here would be great!

Thanks for taking this perv into your flock and I look forward to socializing! Maybe I will post some of my work when the time comes. :)

Welcome! Maybe have a look at the Erotica forums here for some local talent; they're password protected but you can PM the Admin (if you're over 21) to confirm that and request the password.

Good luck!

Welcome. I've found erotica is either really good, or it makes me want to run screaming! I only joined recently and have not gotten around to requesting access to the erotica forum (mostly because I'm assuming there isn't a whole lot of f/f in there so I wasn't in a rush) but going by some of the fabulous writing I've seen elsewhere on the board, I have high hopes...

Welcome! I'm new here myself, but the boards are very welcoming. I haven't read much erotica except the Sleeping Beauty trilogy by Anne Rice, which honestly makes anything in 50 Shades seem pretty tame. Do you have any favourite books?

That is a great idea and I will PM the Admin straightaway! For sure over 21 <== dirty old perv. :D

I totally agree! Show, Don't tell escapes many new authors, but is totally lost in most erotica. Which I find ironic when written for males since human sexuality suggests that 90% of sexual pleasure for men comes from what they see (numbers might be off because it's been years since college). I have a strong feeling that you will find F/F on the boards. I have not looked, but I could totally see it!

I don't have any favorites, sadly. Most of what I have read were on forums and the few I picked up on Amazon were trash. I think because of the way society views graphic sex few talented writers take up the task. I am also horribly picky, haha. If I do come across some I like I will be sure to share. :)

Thanks everyone for the welcomes!
