Station Identification: Smutty Footnotes

What's This?

You are visiting Smutty Footnotes, a blog that I maintain since August 2010, the successor to an online journal I started back in 2008. This is my little soapbox, which serves several roles. First, it's where I talk about and publish the smut that I write. Second, it's where I point out interesting smut that I've run across in my eternal quest to find the most arousing fiction out there. Third, it's where I wax lyrical about random smut-related tidbits that I encounter both online and offline. Oh, and in case that was not clear: yes, this is very much a smut-focused blog.

All together now: “Smut! Smut! Smut!...” (to the tune of Monty Python's “Spam”, of course).

I try to post twice a week, once in the middle of the week (Wednesday) and once on the weekend (Sunday), and I tend to post late at night. Most of my posts have a portion I pompously call my Writing Journal, where I comment opaquely on what I'm writing at the moment. Between you and me, it's really therapy, as it gives me a sense that I'm actually getting stuff done.


And Who Are You Anyways?

Glad you asked. I go by the name Bulgroz The Third here and a few other places. I have been writing smut since the late nineties, but did not inflict it on the world until 2008. To be fair, little of what I wrote before then is digestible in any way, so you have lost nothing. My stories tend to involve mind control and distinctive power dynamics between characters.

Yes, I do have a life, and no, it is not all sex all the time. I wish. No, what you get here and in my writing is a projection of my personality onto the smut plane. Not unexpectedly, it yields a singularly distorted view of yours truly, but one that maintains some of my real-life characteristics. Chew on that.


So What Can We Expect For 2012?

Excellent question. My current running serial The Adjusters continues with monthly episodes, published the first of the month when I'm not running late because of this or that. I have a few ideas for stories that may or may not see the light of day in the next twelve months, as usual. I sometimes participate in the monthly writing contests over at MCForum, which I consider a pleasant distraction. (My story Go Where the Arid Winds Blow is my latest contest submission.)

I'll keep on pointing you to interesting smut that I encounter here and there. I'm also thinking of delving into the past and presenting classics from the last three decades, classics that I have read and loved, going back to the early days of Usenet and alt.sex.stories. There's a lot of amazing stuff out there that you may not know and may find interesting.

Beyond that, anything specific you folks would like to see on this blog in the coming year?
