AH Anthology

Thanks, Zoot! I'm sure we can use your help -- and your material, should you decide to throw it in the pot.

We're talking multiple volumes (as explained in 1st post) -- so no one who's been "vetted" by the participants will be excluded. (And I will not tolerate any "volume I envy." There are so many factors to the mixing/selection that to assume those stories/poems/artwork not in the first volume are in some way "inferior" is simply hogwash.)

Agree re cover art being "tasteful" and hadn't even considered using any references to Literotica -- but more than willing to do so if Laurel & Manu are cool with it. Don't want to promote it that way, however.

:kiss:

I've been awfully busy lately, and I don't think you need any more material now anyhow, but I'd be willing to help out where I can.

A few things though:

--In an earlier post, Imp stated that the chosen book format allows 250 words per page. At this rate, a 3,000 word story is 12 pages, a 10,000 word story is 40 pages, etc. If you've got 20 authors signed up and only 250 pages to work with, you're going to have to restrict submissions to about 3,000 words each. That's going to take some serious finagling, unless you want to do multiple volumes.

--You don't want any pictures of serious sex or nudity on the cover, not if you want the book displayed in stores. Most bookstores won't display it if it has a cover that could be considered offensive.

--You should probably contact Laurel about mentioning "Literotica.com" on the book's cover or elsewhere. I don't think she'd object at all--publicity is publicity--but still, she should be informed that you're using the site name for commercial purposes.

Anyhow, I'm kind of tied up right now, but I'd really like to help out. Let me know if there's anything else I can do.

I've been super busy with pregnant mamas and finally sat down to look at this thread again. I'd still like to be considered if there's room for me. I was originally going to offer up my Valentine's story cause I think it's pretty good. But with things looking so full, I'll put my Halloween story instead. I really liked it, it came right from my soul.

Caressing the Veil - http://english.literotica.com/stories/showstory.php?id=165746
Touching M/F story written as a letter the morning after a night of sex. It's wee short, at 1721 words, but it would be fabulous to have Rhino or Cant illustrate it for the anthology.

I'm going to sleep for a few hours and then read some of the others. This is a fun project.

Oh, and by the way, I like the suggested Title/subtitle. And I like the suggestion of a woman in a salad, but am not sure about having a man climbing/crawling toward her because it suggests hetrosexual encounters. In that vein, I'm wondering if that illustration would put off the M/M readers as well.

Just a thought...

Please pardon all the blank space (below). It's a vbCode nightmare to do tables -- and I'm just not dealing with the hassle of removing it.

Below is a table of all the story submissions (which I will TRY to keep updated). If you give a rat's ass about the quality of the end product, you will read the suggested stories and offer your opinion on their inclusion. Please PM constructive criticisms to the authors. Be nit picky! Don't ASSUME everything will be caught in a proof/edit. Post your endorsements to this thread or in a PM to me. Once a story is vetted (which requires an endorsement from at least 10 participants), I'll update the table to BOLD the title.

If a link doesn't work -- send me the correct link & I'll fix it a.s.a.p. :kiss: (Ditto with any other missing information.)

You have the sizes of mine reversed. Vicky is about 1,470 and Stehanie is about 6,450 words.
 
I like the Erotic Cocktail. LOL
And TheEarl's suggestion about a small sketched AV sounds attractive.

The descriptive lines should be in the index, IMO. No more than two, just enough to give an idea of the content.

I took the liberty of posting a link to this thread in the thread for illustrators.
A bit of promotion won't hurt, right?

Off to do some reading.

:D
 
I didn't read through all the posts here, so this maybe answered all ready. What about previously published material? Some of my works have been published online elsewhere, and that site to my knowledge is no longer active. I own all the permissions so no worries there.

Hello, and welcome to the AH.

I am not a publishing expert, but I would think it'd depend on the agreement you had with whatever site was used.

Please read the very first post in this thread for more information about this project.

Thanks!

"The Spirit of Frankenstien" is M/F.

Are we to make note if we feel a submission doesn't stand to the quality of the others, too? It seems wrong to ask that, but I wanna get this whole deal right.

Q_C
 
I know it will be painful if some stories are not deemed good enough.
At least I will hurt, if mine are kicked out. :rolleyes:
On the other hand, it's only fair to all others who are participating.

We could make this less harsh by PM'ing to Imp.
She can tell us which stories have collected the necessary 10 votes.

Is that an acceptable option?
It means you simply do not vote for the ones you think are not worthy.
If we want it to be fair, we will need to now how many votes a story has.

:confused: :cool:
 
I'd love to come in with this - I've just been too scared that I didn't measure up to standard. If you give me a while to edit 'Ghost of a Chance' and 'Fiona's Flight of Fantasy' I'm with you - blame Softie's kind words.

What do I do now?
 
I think reading all the stories then PMing Imp with all the "Yay"s we feel are keepers is probably a good way to go about this :)


Leaving feedback for as many as possible would be good too...but take in account everyone's said they need a firther edit to qualify *lol*

This method is fine with me. I've been receiving PM endorsements all afternoon, but it'll take a while for folks to read.

If you are familiar with a story -- have already read it -- perhaps you can get those to me right away. There's no limit to the number of stories someone can endorse -- and no particular order -- so fire away!

It would help topost things like genre, length, and a link, and what type of sex is involved (m/m, m/f, group). Then, wait for Imp to see it and add it to the list.

I have to wonder about my stuff, though. People may read one of my stories and say something like "This is not erotica; this is just SMUT". I have to agree with them. That's what I write - SMUT. I'm not ashamed of it, as I have indicated numerous times.

Post your link(s), # words, kink, pairings ... and I'll put it in the submissions table. Folks (other participants) read and PM me with "endorsements"

The thorough edits can be done after vetting.

Once a story has 10+ endorsements, I'll want the author to complete their proof/edit and e-mail me the file in the appropriate format (see 1st post in this thread) as quickly as possible.

Nuttin' wrong with stroke, IMO.

A.S.A.P.

I would LOVE to have the first volume ready to launch by the end of Lit's first free speech competition. That means getting stories read/endorsed by the end of April and final edits to me by mid-May.
