Station Identification: Smutty Footnotes


What's This?

You are visiting Smutty Footnotes, a blog that I maintain since August 2010. 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.

I try to post twice a week, Wednesdays and Sundays, and I tend to post late at night.[1] 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 therapy more than anything else: it gives me a sense that I'm actually getting stuff done. I try to whine less than I used to. (Thanks, anonymous commenter!)


And Who Are You Anyway?

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. 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 2015?

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 still have great hopes to push out a story or two unrelated to that Universe. And try my hand at something vaguely interactive. We'll see. Ideas are not the problem, it's the time to get that done. Writing does not come easy to me.

I'll keep on pointing you to interesting smut that I encounter here and there. I'll also delve 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.


[1] That statement is going to make long-time readers snort. I've been atrocious at keeping that posting schedule for the past six months. But New Year's resolutions, right? At the very least, poking me head out once a week should be achievable.

  1. You wrote, "And try my hand at something vaguely interactive." Please do! I'm betting you'd be very good at that.

    I hadn't considered interactive as a useful middle ground between prose and graphic novel until you mentioned Akabur's Princess Trainer, and I tried playing it. What a great medium, what potential things you can do in and with it!

    Anyways, here's a vote that you try your hand at it if you find the time. You're a good author, and I'd bet you could craft good things in an interactive medium too. My 0.02.

  2. Thanks for the vote of confidence. I'll keep you all updated on how that goes. Warning; interactive stories do take time.

    Very excited to hear that you want to write a couple of stories that are unconnected to The Adjusters universe. I really hope that happens! The Adjusters is amazing, but I also appreciate the shorter, stand-alone stories. Do you have any idea what they could be about at this point?

  4. I got plenty of ideas, but only a few survive the "let it sit until an actual story emerges" filter. Let me push one at least through the first chapter before I talk about them. Believe me, you'll all be the first to know...
