Tiny, Big Cover Art

International Bookstore link to “Tiny, Big”

Amazon Bookstore link to “Tiny, Big”

I'm very proud of the opening line to my new novella “Tiny, Big.” It is “Why would I want my arms and legs cut off? That seems a bit extreme even for me.”

If that doesn't make you want to turn the page, nothing will.

Never fear gentle reader no legs and arms were harmed and the creation of the story. As is often the case with all great works of literature this story was inspired by a porn photo. You can see the photo by following this link. The actresses involved are 5 foot tall Penny Pax and 5 foot 11 inch Dylan Ryan. The image is clearly created to appeal to fans of lesbian macrophilia and microphilia, along with fans of lesbian bondage, lesbian sex, and general perversion.

(Sound of a record scratch)

Wait … what? “What are macrophilia and microphilia?” you almost certainly may ask.

Macrophilia is being sexually attracted to someone who is very tall. Microphilia is being sexually attracted to someone who is very short. Interestingly, there does not appear to be any term for finding images of very large and very short women having sex appealing.

But there is a subreddit for it named r/samespecies. Wouldn't you know it, a subreddit would exists for a perversion long before it even had a name? R/samespecies is full of images of very short and very tall women standing next to one another, generally just smiling at a camera, sometimes nude, more often clothed, though there ARE occasionally pics of naked women of different size having sex.

I've found that the Your Fantasies Unlimited format works very well with porn images to create short porn stories and novellas. And I'd like to claim that the Dylan Ryan/Penny Pax image alone was responsible for the plot of “Tiny, Big.” And it is a very evocative image, especially expressions on Penny and Dylan's faces – they really know how to act bondage.

But I have to admit, I had another source of inspiration, the work of the Swedish artist known only on Grigbertz. Here's his website with lots of drawings. Grigbertz's stories almost always have a theme of short women, often elfin and ALWAYS naked and in bondage, generally with a mythical medieval background. Here's a very nice example of Grigbertz's artwork that fits what I've described.

In one of Grigbertz's storylines, women who don't reach a certain height by age 18 (or whatever the age of consent in Sweden is) are enslaved. The women are standard Grigbertz tinies, and they are enslaved by taller men and women, who molest them, much to everyone's great pleasure, including the tinies.

Well say no more. I didn't exactly copy Grigbertz's mythology, because what fun would that be? And in Grigbertz's case, it would be hard because his text is fragmentary and not well developed, based on what I've seen. Being a writer, I tend more toward text, for whatever reason. And I work out my ideas in greater detail. But Grigbertz's skill in communicating his fantasies with a few pencil lines is not to be ignored.

You can read my precis of my story on my Amazon page, but I have to filter it very heavily for Amazon's sake, plus I have to keep it brief. Here's the full story:

In the magical land of Corliandra, human beings are divided into three different body types: Tinies, three to four feet tall, averaging 3'6”, Normies who run five to 6 and a half feet tall, in short, human beings as we know them on Earth, for the most part, and Bigs, who grow to eight to nine feet tall, averaging eight and a half feet tall. Tinies, Normies and Bigs are not distinct species at all, they can interbreed. Tiny mothers can have Big children, Big mothers can have Tiny children, and the same with Normies. It's just a matter of which genes are dominant, with about one in five humans being Tinies, one in five being Bigs, and three in five being Normies.

All three groups get along together fine, because of the interbreeding. Most families are a mix of Tinies, Normie's and Bigs to one extent or another, especially large families.

This, the protagonist Laura is a Tiny, has a Normie brother, a Tiny mother and a Big father. And the protagonist Gina is a Big, with a Normie brother (just a coincidence) and a Big father and a Tiny mother. Both families are happy and healthy and love one another (though Normie brothers can be annoying, whether you are a Big or a Little).

The fact that both Laura and Gina have Tiny mothers and Big fathers is not coincidence: by tradition from time immemorial, Bigs sexually enslave Tinies when they turn 18. It's not an ironclad thing: sometimes Tinies enslave Bigs and sometimes Normies enslave Bigs, etc. etc. But mostly Bigs enslave Tinies, because that's how most Corliandrans are wired. Literally, they are magically/instinctively compelled to do these things, and to love one another afterward. (God, fantasy makes character-building easy. Why do they do it? Magic!)

The excitement of the action in Corliandra depends on Laura and Gina's relationship, what kind of fun sexual things they get up to and how they respond to them. But there's also the Your Fantasies Unlimited action in the real world. It turns out that things that happen in the fantasy world of Corliandra have some effect in the real world, and gives me some fun playing off my real-world characters against their fantasy world counterparts.

I guess what I'm saying is, get this book, or rent it using Kindle Unlimited (for free, in essence). It's one of my best works ever.

In future posts, I want to talk about how the cover was built, and I also want to talk about how I cast the characters to give them their voice and look. In the meantime, here's da blurb:

Laura was by all accounts the feistiest and talkiest Tiny in her village in the magical land of Corliandra. (But she wasn't the tallest, she was just an average Tiny at 3'6” tall.) And Laura was SURE she would never turn into a simpering love slave like most of the other Tinies did when they turned 18. She would never fall for some beautiful nine foot tall Big, because being a Big's love slave was so wrong, even if everyone else, including her Tiny mother and Big father, assured her that it was so very, very right.

But Tinies, Normies and Bigs all wanted Laura as their love slave, because she had a curvaceous body that along with her passionate personality, set lust lights glimmering in their eyes.

Gina was a Big at 8'6” tall, and she was the most accomplished huntress and archer in the village, and also quite beautiful. She loved to listen to Laura talk (Laura was a great and frequent public speaker). She dreamed of the day she would collar Laura and listen to her talk for hours, generally after Laura had used her tongue in other ways. And unknown to Gina, Laura had eyes for her, perhaps because of the grace with which Gina moved, or her knowing half smile that hinted at a tantalizing world inside Gina's shy exterior.

When Gina makes her move on Laura after she turns 18, Laura discovers the magic of love. Finally, Laura know the joys of being a Tiny love slave, and Gina knows the joys of having a Tiny love slave. And these discoveries may Somehow lead Laura and Gina into a whole new world of erotic possibility, of lesbian bondage, public nudity, erotic dance and bondage orgies, which may Change Everything – even in the real world outside Corliandra!

This novelette is just over 21,000 words long, and is Book Two in the “Your Fantasies Unlimited” series.

WARNING: This books is infested with humor, has a pleasant and fun approach to sex and sexuality, and contains graphic sexual content of the sort that those who enjoy graphic sexual content will enjoy. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

u/Remus90 · 3 pointsr/BDSMcommunity

My standard intro:

BDSM is what you make of it. There's hundreds of kinks and you have to find what works for you. Maybe look into The New Topping and New Bottoming Books.

Now a few terms from me that you should know: Look up the safety and video tutorials of everything you try with risk, (not porn), even 'light' bondage or cuffs could cause nerve damage if tied wrong or left too long. Recommend getting safety shears. Never leave a tied person alone or try to sleep like that. Feeling numbness or tingling get free immediately.

Start small, maybe each type out an ideal 500 word fantasy for the two of you and go from there. As for the rest, roll with it and laugh it sounds like a bad porn script or is weird.

Top: Person performing an action in a scene.

Bottom: Person receiving an action in a scene.

Dominant-Dom (Domme/Domina for females): Person who has agreed to take control of the scene and commanding the sub within limits of both people. More mental then physical though both are important.

Submissive (sub): Person who consents to not be equals in a scene and do what the dominant wants. Within established limits and agreed activities. Random surprises in a scene are not a good idea.

Switch: People who like to both Dom/Domme and sub depending on their mood and/or type of scene. Switching mid-scene is more rare but can be done with couples who know each other well.

Not all Tops are Doms/Dommes and not all subbing is from the bottom. For example a girlfriend could be a Domme but like to be spanked. In that case she would tell her boyfriend exactly when/where/with what/how hard/how often to spank her. The boyfriend is a Sadist Top, doing the spanking but only to obey her, the Masochist Domme. He might wear a leash she can pull on to remind him whose in charge.

Review/establish hard & soft limits and safewords protocols if you don't already have them. Red=Stop NOW! Yellow=Minor issue please pause to hear why. Green=Keep Going. Every once in a while check in especially if its a new activity by asking "Color?" Doms can safeword too if need be.

Hard limits are things you never want to even consider, both of you should respect the other one's and not bring it up again unless they do. Don't like mixing pee and sex? (Watersports), then hard limit it. if things change over time maybe bring it up but still respect the other person not being into it.

Soft limits are things you are nervous about but are willing to work your way up too. Never done anal before? Buy a butt plug and carefully wear it for 10 minutes each day, increasing the time as you get more comfortable. Then slowly take her yourself.

Aftercare: Snuggling and cuddling as normal people again after a scene to 'come down' after the intensity of a scene. Doms/Tops need it too. What is in it will vary from person to person. Blankets, water and chocolate are a good basic package. And praise for each other, a lot of it. Talk about a scene again after you are both restored to see what worked and what didn't. Aftercare is needed to prevent the dreaded Drop. (Subdrop but Doms can get it too).

Drop: All the fun chemicals in your brain going away from a scene. Negative emotions and thoughts like sadness and maybe even disgust might pop in your head but it's probably just the coming down effect in your mind. Communication and aftercare are needed with your partner to prevent this in both of you. Drop can sometimes hit a few days later so monitor yourself. Personal experience: first scenes on a Friday night, drop didn't hit until Monday night/Tuesday morning, I needed to sleep it off. Irritable for no reason and out of step with the rest of the world, felt like a bad day no matter where I went.

Let me be clear about punishments and funishments. Punishments are something the sub honestly hates that are done for breaking a rule/protocol. But they can STILL safeword out if they feel unsafe or the Dom isn't listening to why they broke the rules. Not all punishments are sexual it could be boring like writing lines 100 times. They are typically used if you have outside the bedroom aspects to D/s . NEVER use punishments out of genuine anger or resentment for obvious reasons.

FUNihsments are things the sub likes but pretends to break rules over to set up the scene. E.g. I didn't wear blue today so I deserve a spanking! Subs that like to tease or make the Dominant 'work' for obedience are Brats.

D/s could be attractive for many different reasons. Pleasure of being someone's lust toy, the trust that you can share a desire not to be equals with someone that some people will never understand, the power and control of another within limits, relaxing your mind and just doing what the Dominant wants, earning praise of someone you love etc.

Next part is written as female Domme and male sub but can be flipped around.

What kind of Domme do you want to be? What does he respond to best? Have safewords in place and review limits just in case.

Nurturing: "Be a good boy and lick my special spot, the lady juice just means your doing a good job!" "I'm so proud of you for making me cum!"

Mocking/Degrader: "If I was fingering myself I'd have cum twice by now! You think that little tongue wagging is going to get me wet? Harder and faster you dumbass!"

Sadist:"I'm going to spank your ass while your down there and it's going to turn bright red and bruised, whine all you want but don't stop licking or I make it worse." For every 10 minutes I don't cum that's 5 whacks with my hairbrush after on your ass."

Nurturing Sadist: "I know it hurts but it makes me so happy your taking so much in dedication to me. I'll give you a break for two minutes, then just 10 more spanks, I know you can do it! After I promise to rub the lotion on your bruises and kiss them better. I'm proud of you."

Tease and deny him: "I'm going to sit on your face while your hands are tied/cuffed! I'm going to keep jerking you off until I feel like stopping, don't care if your sensitive after you cum, it makes me wet so I'm going to make you squirm! For extra effect every time he cums, immediately drop your pussy in his face so he knows orgasm=your scent & taste. You can also make him give you oral for every time he cums after. Make him thank you after.

Rub him out while he's still in his underwear and make him stay all wet in them afterwards because he is so dirty and it amuses you to see him in nothing but wet underpants. (Shower after).
Dirty talk/ownership: This is where you belong isn't it? You belong to me. You have stress outside here but the people at work don't know this is who you really are right? This is what you crave inside, being covered in marks and lady juice from me isn't it? You like the smell/taste/warmth don't you? Tell me how much of a dirty boy you are. Admit it, you love being my living sex toy.

Sensory: Blindfolds, gags, earplugs to remove senses to heighten anticipation. Need a new way to safeword, i.e. dropping something noisy like a cat toy or gesture with his arms if they're not tied. Tickling. Ice and hot wax (check the safety) for temperature fun. Gags are not really for rookies until trust and alternate safeword ready.

Role play: This can take many forms. Its make-believe for adults. Nurse costumes, a leash, a teacher's ruler, whatever you need to set the scene. Laugh if you need too but once you hit yours and his scenario you'll know.

Body worship: Make him kneel on the floor naked and kiss your feet/heels/boots. Put them close together and tell him his lips are not allowed to leave your skin so he must drag them over from side to side as he shifts from foot to foot.

Whip cream/other such food on your feet/nipples. Not your crotch it causes UTI. Lemon juice if you want to make him squirm but he wants you in his mouth so bad he'll do it (within limits of course).

Forbid him from touching himself while doing this, make him beg to put any part of you in his mouth because he's so horny. If you can reach the top of his head, dig your nails in slightly and massage the scalp. Trust me he'll probably melt.

Service subbing: More outside the bedroom, doing household chores to earn praise of the dominant. Get him naked to vacuum while you 'ignore' him clothed while reading on the sofa. He cooks for you and eats at your feet during meals alone at home, etc.

A little subtle outside the bedroom game to signal/turn you both on, (written as male Dom and female sub):when you as sub wear sandals to go out, the Dom expects at some point that she will 'casually' slip both feet out and be barefoot in front of others briefly as a symbol of the Dom's control even when others don't know; and a symbol the sub is horny and will be ready to be barefoot and naked at home whenever the Dom orders. Bonus if the sub's toenails are painted a color the Dom ordered, fingers too. A little game to let him know you are still attracted to him and feel up to sex when you set that up.

Have fun and stay safe, sane and consensual!

If you want to get out into the local community join Fetlife and look for munches nearby. Munches are public (vanilla) gatherings of kinksters as platonic friends like a hobby group. Not for speed dating or a meat market. 90% of the talk isn't even kink. Good for getting a vibe off others and learning about the other kinky events later on.

u/masterlovehurts · 1 pointr/MasterLoveHurts

Summary: Jack had planned on staying in but was coaxed out to yet another house party. Despite the booze and music, he starts to get bored, until he comes across a game of Spin The Bottle.

However, what’s with these rules? People are pairing up and disappearing to private places whenever the bottle stops spinning. These aren’t like the rules he’s heard about! Where will his spin land? What happens after? Can the bottle point at more than one girl?

His night is about to get a whole lot more interesting, maybe more than just his night.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Jack hadn’t really planned on going out that night. Most times, house parties ranged from being boring to being a pain in the ass, especially since he was getting closer to his thirties and people were starting to look at him as the “weird old guy” at the parties. However, when he got an invite from Dana and Sara online to come out to their latest vaguely-themed party… Well, he had a hard time telling either of them no, let alone both of them.

He looked into hall mirror covered in glitter, gunk, and what looked like dried beer. His hairline had just started to recede, no grey had managed to crop up in his light-brown locks, and his beard was at its usual three-day growth length.

“Not too shabby,” he thought while giving his chin a few strokes.

He looked around at the people milling about, stumbling, drinking, smoking, and chatting. On the makeshift dance floor, a few guys and girls were grinding against each other slowly and completely out of sync with the music.

He’d been watching Dana and Sara dance there before he’d had to make a trip to the bathroom. They’d been moving in perfect step with each other and the beat, hips swaying, their young bodies shaking, pressing against each other and then pulling back just a little. He’d even convinced himself that they’d both made eye contact with him while they were dancing.

“They were probably just looking around at the crowd,” he thought. “I wonder where they’ve gone though…”

Jack slipped past a slender woman talking loudly to a round man. She was leaning in closer with every word and it looked like she was either going to punch him or kiss him every other word.

The kitchen had the usual set of people. Junior philosophers pumped up on energy drinks and cheap liquor. A couple were even making out in the shadows of the short hall leading to the porch, certain that no one could see them, despite the fact that anyone who bothered to look could see every bit of them.

He noticed the girl’s elbow jostling around and then realized she was hard at work pumping the guy’s cock just inside his oversized black trench coat.

“Lucky bastard. Hope you give her a hand too when she’s done,” Jack thought.

Jack rubbed the back of his neck, feeling his own buzz start to fade, and wondered if he should start sobering up so he could head home or if he should drink more.

“It’s like… you can never be sure if you’re real or just a figment of your own imagination,” a guy with a goatee and tight pants said to another guy with a goatee and tighter pants.

“Naw… yeah… naw! I totally get what you mean, bro!”

Jack rolled his eyes a little and decided to check the living room, for more alcohol and for more interesting times than drunken philosophical ramblings. Not that he hadn’t engaged in more than his fair share, but that wasn’t why he’d come to the party this time.

The lights were dimmer in the living room and he had to blink a few times to adjust from the relative brightness of the kitchen before he could really make out more than a few blurry shapes.

In the center of the room, a circle of people were kneeling, slouching, sitting, and generally gathered around a brown glass bottle turned on its side. It was mostly girls with a few guys spread out at roughly equal distances. Furthest from him, Dana and Sara sat close to each other watching the bottle spin in ever-slowing circles.

Somehow, it managed to stop in the only space where no one was sitting. Everyone’s shoulder’s slumped a little and a loud chorus of awes filled the room before a man reached out and grabbed the bottle.

“I… I get to spin again, right? Mulligans?”

A few people nodded and he got ready to spin a second time. Jack decided it was a good chance to interrupt.

“Hey, are you guys playing spin-the-bottle? Can I join?” he asked.

“Sure,” Dana said, looking him up and down with a mischievous smile on her face.

She was slender, with short-cut black hair, a round face, and small, perky breasts. She could have been a model if she’d been taller. She always looked like she’d just made a joke but never bothered to tell anyone.

Sara smiled at him too and whispered into Dana’s ear. She was a little shorter and curvier, with that fullness that seemed to a natural part of every Latina girl Jack had ever met. Dana rolled her eyes and laughed a little before giving Sara a playful shove.

A few of the other girls giggled too, then slid over, making room for him just to the left of the man about to spin a second time. Not only did this give Jack a space in the circle, but it also managed to close up the gap that the bottle had landed on before.

With the sudden scraping of glass on wood, Jack’s attention was brought back to the bottle on the floor. The man who had landed on empty space before had respun the bottle and was smiling as he watched it spin.

“Have I ever played this before?” Jack wondered. “I thought it was just a game high schoolers played in movies.”

With a wobble and a little skittering, the bottle came to a stop, pointing at a tall blonde with large, soft breasts and somehow even softer looking lips. She was a beautiful woman, though her nose did seem a little too small for the rest of her. Jack was pretty sure she was one of Dana’s many roommates. Sara? Cindy? Something like that anyway.

It was hard remembering the shifting people passing through student housing.

They both stood up, smiling and blushing, but instead of kissing each other and getting back into the circle, like Jack had seen in all those late-night movies, they held hands and jogged up the stairs to some hidden place. Jack’s eyebrows knitted together and his half-drunk mind wrestled with what he’d just seen.

“Oh… Is… Is it like a combination of seven-minutes-in-heaven and spin-the-bottle?” he asked, watching couple ascend the steps and disappear.

He looked back to Dana who shrugged, smirked, and looked a little above his head. Then he looked at Sara, however, she simply winked and waved one of her delicate hands at the bottle.

One of the hardest lessons for new submissives to understand is that Dominants are not mind readers. My husband and I transitioned into D/s together and I remember this struggle all too well. We want to let go of control because that's what turns us on but leave our partner with shoulders shrugged saying, "okay....but now what?" But if we detail what it is we want, it kills the fantasy.

Super common and super easy to fix my friend.

The answer lies in outside of the bedroom hard work and communication.

You guys need to discuss these new interests and fantasies at length in the non-sexy times. Find a BDSM checklist and go through each line together, talking about what is hot (or not) line by line. Keep a copy of answers for reference when things need refreshing in play over time.

Pick something you're both into and start there. Play, try it out. A couple days later, talk about the experience. Encourage each other to be honest because that's how you grow.

Try it out again, improving from the last time based on the new information.

Read together. Research together. Give her a task, such as, "Find 3 articles that you feel represent your interest in submitting" or "find the hottest kink porn you can and write a paragraph detailing what specifically is turning you on about it."

Start turning your preferences into expectations.

Like her in skirts instead of shorts? Tell her so.

Prefer her shaved bare? Let her know.

Like her on top? Demand it.

Your words, not just your body, have power.

> I saw you offer to look over some erotica for someone else and I was hoping you might do the same for me. My first short has just gone live, but I have no idea what I'm doing really so any pointers would be great :) thank you. http://www.amazon.com/Darcey-Dashing-Dominant-Forbidden-Desires-ebook/dp/B019FO07KY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1450280051&sr=8-1&keywords=vikki+fingaz if you don't have time that's okay, I figured I may as well

  1. Again, you have no Amazon author page. See previous comments about this.

  2. Your stock image is good for the kink, but I'd advise against black and white. I used to do B/W photography, including developing my own film etc., and I LOVE it, but I just don't think it pops out enough for erotica covers. http://www.amazon.com/Ganged-Sea-Four-One-Book-ebook/dp/B0157AE6SO/ref=asap_bc?ie=UTF8 This is one of my laziest covers I ever made, but it sold best in KU 2.0. I honestly think it sold well because 1) the girl is hot and in a bikini, 2) the colors just fucking pop. There's almost nothing fancy about this cover at all. The only fancy thing is the text going behind her head, which is a basic Photoshop trick that I do on a lot of covers to make the text look less "thrown on". Your cover has b/w and select colors showing, but those colors don't pop. Orange and red clash, and the white/black/red text is nearly unreadable. Especially in thumbnail view is browsing and also boughts, your title is going to be nearly illegible. Try using that same image, don't cut off her face, leave the color in the image, and choose font colors that pop and complement the colors of the image (just look at a color wheel and choose colors across from each other). I also think your text on top and bottom is a bit too close to the top/bottom margins. You need to leave a little bit more negative space. Your pen name is also too close to left/right margins.

  3. I like your blurb. "Tall, dark and desirable, he promises to fulfill her every desire," would be my main nitpick due to repetition of "desire." Your tagline in the look inside about "Outside this room you are Darcy..." is really nice and attention grabbing. I would bold it and put it at the top of your blurb. I think "Lucius" makes it fairly clear he's black, but you might want to make it even more clear. You say "dark," but in erotica and romance, "dark" is often a codeword for dubcon, and you are doing slightly dubcon style stuff here, so people may not realize straight away that Lucius is black.

  4. The writing looks mostly good. The dialogue is a tad on the nose, but that can be an acceptable stylistic choice since it's not super on the nose.

  5. Keywords look good, because you're in BDSM and Interracial, which are the two I was hoping you'd be in from the cover and blurb.

  6. I think you can do quite well with this. Do the pricing and promo strategies I gave to try to get yourself initial exposure, and you'll probably gain traction as long as you improve your covers a bit.

Hi Reddit! My name is AJ Ryder and I've been writing/publishing romance and erotica to Amazon for almost a year! I started out with my Kinky Geeks series where the sexy inner geek in all of us gets to play out their wildest fantasies. From there I jumped into a world I've been working on for a long time: Cadarnle. My first book in this world was Bonds Eternal released back in February. And now, today, the second book in my epic high fantasy romance is finally here! The Beast's Beloved is a PNR (Paranormal Romance) between a peasant girl, Klaryssa, and her werewolf shifter mate, Dresdyn. I think anyone who likes fantasy romance or paranormal romance with love this epic tale!

They have a few books out, which are not bad. They do workshops, too. They're mostly geared toward western-style, 50's era cotton rope aesthetic bondage(as opposed to japanese bondage which actually has little to zero true knots) and maybe more soft-core players, or at least entry level, but you can learn a lot from them and expand with a bit of creativity.

Personally, I'm looking forward to eventually getting this collection of books for myself - they're some of the most comprehensive available, from what I understand.

Also, for safety, I do have this book and appreciate it as a solid primer for understanding some health and safety issues in kinky play. The rope section is the most relevant to me, but the rest is interesting reading. Funny enough, I bought the book after I caused temporary nerve damage to a friend's hand from doing a tie described in a book written by Mistress Midori... I had gone on the stockroom.com forums to ask for advice on where to find such a book and who was the one to respond to my request? Midori herself. Even now, I believe it was fault of the tie design, not my miss-handling. Irony.

Fappy playing! :)

Your story Humped by the Humpack popped up under the one I just published Holding His Interest in the "Customers Who Viewed This Item Also Viewed" section while I was checking the ranking on my listing. Thought you might like to know.

Anyway, I donwloaded your story and really enjoyed it (I can't get over how well this Kindle Unlimited is working for me as a reader).

I'm brand new at this, so I don't have much to add other than your cover is great, and a little proofreading.

You use "loose" when you mean "lose" twice, "trusts" where you mean "thrusts" once, and drop into first person a few times even though the rest is in third. These are things that pull me out of a story.

If I were you I would search your manuscript for the following terms: Loose, Our, I, trusts, and Us. (See how it makes me stop reading? I made a list. Haha. Just trying to be helpful.) That should make making your corrections quick and painless.

Anyway, great story. Good luck!

u/NotThrowawayButPorn · 4 pointsr/chickflixxx

I really like Abigail Barnette's Bossverse series. It's BDSM erotica written in response to the popularity of 50 Shades of Grey. (The BDSM elements are more pronounced, and the protagonists are actually respectful of each other.)

I'm not sure if I'm really doing it justice, but I love the series. And the first novel, The Boss, is available online for free. I have it on iBooks and I'm putting Amazon and Smashwords links below.

Not video but I'm piping up anyway.

I started my blog exactly because I couldn't find content that showed hot, passionate, F/m interactions and relationships between real people (it's not a video, obviously, but still).

My book is full of hot F/m play: Domme Chronicles: Erotic tales of love, passion, & domination

Yes, I'm touting my own stuff, of course I'm biased :).

Done and done (and done, so many books)!

I would be hugely thankful if anyone could help me make this free. It's my first attempt at a permafree. 0.0

It's on B&N, Kobo, Google Play, and ARe. I've heard Amazon likes B&N best so please do that one if you only do one.

u/KegelFairy · 3 pointsr/TwoXChromosomes

I really enjoy Abigail Barnette. The Boss is kind of a feminist, sex-positive re-imagining of 50 Shades inspired by her amazing critique of the latter (she is also known as Jenny Trout). I've enjoyed all the other erotica by her that I've read.

Some good rope bondage resources I like -


Two Knotty Boys


Twisted Monk


The Duchy


Crash Restraint


If this is something you're really interested in and you don't mind spending some money on it, Shibari You Can Use and its sequel are good books to have on hand.


There's also /r/ropetutorials, but it seems like it's mostly people asking for help. I think there are some actual tutorials there if you dig enough though.

u/AJ_Ryder · 2 pointsr/RomanceBooks

I really like Caitlyn Lynch’s “Ranger Heat ” series. It’s available on Amazon, and the Dom is NOT an asshole, I promise!

And...at the risk of self-promotion, my “Kinky Geeks ” series doesn’t have any asshole Doms either...just sexy, insatiable geeks getting kinky with each other in the bedroom 😉

Either way, I HIGHLY recommend Caitlyn Lynch! 😘

u/Eroticawriter4 · 2 pointsr/eroticauthors

Here's all the upcoming books. You can get ahead of the game and request now if you want. I'm pretty sure Amazon considers this on a monthly basis, so try to request them all one time each calendar month.

Next: /u/madisonhsilver: Amazon and Kindle, Kobo and iTunes

I'm just getting started on self-publishing erotica over at Amazon.

Here's a link: Holding His Interest

I would be forever grateful for any sort of feedback at all, whether about the cover, the blurb, or even an honest review on Amazon itself.

It is available for "free" through the Kindle Unlimited program.

Thanks in advance...

>You mean modern day Chinese like this ?

To be fair, it's not only the Chinese. It's an East Asian(Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese too) thing since it's in the innate Confucian nature to respect order, progress and authority. The colonial hangover from few hundred years past still lingers because of that.

Sharyn Ferns is a dominant woman who runs the blog Domme Chronicles; she's also written a book called "Domme Chronicles: Erotic tales of love, passion, & domination", which I found particularly refreshing because it was written from the dominant woman's perspective.

u/Penguin_Dreams · 1 pointr/TwoXChromosomes

Sleeping Beauty, by Anne Rice - formerly written under the pen-name of A. N. Roquelaure.

The Marketplace, by Laura Antoniou.

Possibly The Story of O, by Pauline Reage. It's kind of a classic, but I didn't care for it much. It's a lot more about the headspace of the slave than kinky shenanigans.

There's also the movie Secretary with a very young James Spader and Maggie Gyllenhaal. It's pretty tame but makes a good starting point to gauge the reaction of a potential partner.

u/LadyLark · 1 pointr/eroticauthors

Mason reached over to activate the intercom. His secretary's heavy breathing greeted him along with the wet sounds of her masturbating. Jack grinned when he recognized what was happening. Turning off the intercom, he looked at Jack.

u/autieab · 2 pointsr/ABDL

Franny's Choice by theFlax. I wish I could provide a link but I don't have one because it's old and the forum it was originally posted on is terrible for archival (Wetset's AB board from back when Wetset's forum was worth something). Story is hot as hell and for whatever reason, I got really engrossed in it and wrapped up in the characters. Novel length, two main characters, Franny and Ellen. I wonder if anybody else remembers it. Was probably written about 2003ish.

Currently getting into Mako's new book, Concerning Littleton. Bargain priced at the moment, only a few chapters in but certainly enjoying it.

u/specialPonyBoy · 2 pointsr/FemdomCommunity

Owning Regina by Lorilie Elstrom. Shows the process of self-discovery as well as the growth of a relationship - including mistakes. Not exactly a perfect map or how to guide (there are resources out there, people), but inspirational. https://www.amazon.com/Owning-Regina-unexpected-passion-another-ebook/dp/B00KKYKUYC

u/taway022 · 3 pointsr/BDSMcommunity

I don't want feedback, I want unstinting praise! :D

That said, [here's my latest gem] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UTWMSDQ)

u/twistedfork · 2 pointsr/TwoXChromosomes

The Boss series is pretty popular and has a much healthier relationship than 50 Shades. It has BDSM involved and some of it is much harsher than 50 Shades as well.

The second book gets a little heavy (medical issues) so it can be a tough read.

u/mrbnatural10 · 9 pointsr/Libraries

Not YA, but The Boss series by Abigail Barnett is the alternative I always offer people. It's a feminist, consensual, BDSM relationship, has queer characters, and is very well written. Also the first one is free on Kindle.

u/arquebus_x · 4 pointsr/bdsm

Laura Antoniou's Marketplace series. A hundred times better than the Anne Rice tripe.

u/makoAllen · 1 pointr/AgePlaying

I've written two novels about ageplay.

There's "Auntie Eva's Boarder", which is about a college freshman who moves in with an older lady and becomes her baby.



Then there's "Concerning Littleton", which is about several different people who are age players and trying to figure out their own sexual identity, or explain it to their partners. It's got straight, bi, and gay characters, babyfurs, d/s relationships, and polyamory too.

It doesn't seem like you've talked to him enough about it. Why doesn't he like it? You might not have made him understand why you like it. "Vanilla" people tend to see just the pain involved. They don't want to inflict pain on someone they love and don't understand why someone would want to be hurt on purpose. So you'll need to explain that and/or maybe get him a book about BDSM. A decent all-purpose book I have is: http://www.amazon.com/On-Safe-Edge-Manual-Play/dp/1895857058 This looks good and is well reviewed too though I haven't read it: http://www.amazon.com/SM-101-A-Realistic-Introduction/dp/0963976389/ref=pd_sim_b_3

yuuuupppp. The ivy league facebook meme group memes it all the time.

It's a combination of East Asians' white worship and white men's yellow fever. It's becoming more common in some conservative circles more generally speaking. It's a whole topic of discussion at /r/hapas.

Amazon's got a lot of erotica priced at $0.00 if you download the kindle version.

I saw this one mentioned on a troll sub the other day.
