Writing Journal: Still trying my best to finish the first scene of The Adjusters #35. Slow going.
A bunch of random links to celebrate the first week of September.
Shalom Auslander (an author I quite enjoy, by the way—loved his Foreskin's Lament) wrote an interesting essay on the interaction between enjoying really hardcore pornography and one's sense of morality. Favorite quote: “Like eating chocolate made from babies.”
I refuse to comment on Fifty Shades of Grey. But I can appreciate this Fifty Shades (Porn) Generator. Who needs smut writers anymore? (Via Tiny Nibbles)
A class of stories I enjoy, as anyone that reads this blog knows, is blackmail-themed stories, where sex is obtained as a result of threats or blackmail. Now, I enjoy that as fantasy. Once it crosses into real life, it's another matter altogether. I think it's a good thing, as readers of the genre, to make sure that we're not unsensitized to how terrible it is when this sort of thing happens for real. Two stories about this came out in the last six months. Not cool.
Vaguely related, and again on the topic of appreciation of nonconsensual fantasy as compared to real life, here's a primer on creepiness, so you can avoid being creepy. Creepy in a wholly different way is the relationship between Pickup Artist Techniques and Sexual Assault.
Away from serious somewhat depressing topics, here's an interesting trailer for a documentary on men seeking artificial companions, The Mechanical Bride.
Short kinky true stories from Fleshbot: Ending at the Beginning, and My Ass Is A Good Storage Space For Jizz.
Here's a sweet little Tumblr where people submit short filthy sex secrets. Some are pretty hot. Some really get the ol' imagination going.
I'll leave you with a story. From Big Jake we have The Outlaw's Revenge: “A teenage girl's testimony sends a gunslinger to prison. After four years without a woman in that West Texas hell-hole, he breaks out with one thought on his mind -- to even the score with the girl who sent him up. And that girl is now nineteen, beautiful, blonde and tan, and she's got more curves than the Rio Grande. And she's alone on her daddy's ranch." Sex, domination, torture—the trifecta. And an actual plot and well-developed characters. And hot sex, of course.
