Lol you guys are funny. What kind of proof do you want? Copies of my NF paychecks? Passwords to access our site for free? Honestly not sure what I can give you that wouldn't compromise my job or at the least get me in trouble with my bosses.

If you guys aren't interested in the job, then fine. I'm not trying to trick or take advantage of anyone. Just thought someone in this community might be willing to help us.

I wouldn't risk it. The image is hot and a little to overtly sexual.

Amazon changes their policies on a whim though. So who knows what's acceptable now.

Quickly amends original post. Free foof kisses and blowjobs for anyone that visits my page.

It suddenly occurs to me, is there some point to profile visits besides a feeling of Gee, I'm popular? It's not like you know who they are or why they are there. I've never had anyone reach out about it, but that's probably just a measure of me. Have anyone?

Does this help?

Thanks to everyone who's read "Time And Temporality" so far. It's had 569 views in the 4 days since it went online, which isn't bad for a story in the rather niche Fantasy/Sci-Fi category.

And thanks especially to those who've left such lovely comments. Too many to quote them all, but these are just a few:

"A superbly written tale" - Meagananne1986
"I always look forward to any new story from you and this certainly didn't disappoint" - PalindromeRedux
"This would have been a great entry in the time travel competition. You've captured the Regency Period of Austen perfectly." - sandy2moon
"The Austen executors would be shocked at such debauchery. Well done, well written and should have been a Comp entry." - Robert0909
"I am very glad you didn't enter this story into the competition, for you would surely have knocked my mine into a cocked hat. You display such affection and respect for JA that your turning her into a teensy bit of a slut just enhances her aura." - GrushaVashnadze

This genre has a very fickle readership I have found and if you are outside of what they want, they let you hear about it. Interestingly, I have not found this to be a real issue here on Lush which is why I primarily post here. I find readers here to be super supportive in the cuck/wife lovers categories in general (there are always exceptions of course).

On the other hand, if you go over to Literotica and post anything in the loving wives category that isn't Impure's definition, you get absolutely destroyed. Trust me I've been there, it's ugly and they 1 star vote your story and a lot of times all your other stories that you've published on that site.

To quote your story "maybe we angered the gods?"

Just my personal experience... -LL

I'm not familiar with Bird by Bird. I've seen a few of King's do's and don'ts quoted here and there. And Elmore Leonard's, etc. Strunk and White isn't really about writing, per se, but grammar. It's the most accessible, straight-forward explanation of the basic rules of US English grammar ever written. Most others are terribly convoluted and often contain mistakes, like most online sources.

If you want to read an entire book about writing fiction, the best resource is Writing in General and the Short Story in Particular by Rust Hills. Hills was the fiction editor at Esquire mag from the mid 50s to mid 60s when Updike, Vonnegut, Heller, Cheever...and that whole generation were beginning their careers as short story writers. You could make a living at it then. Hills worked with all of them. He was a bit of a tight-assed snob, but he knew how great fiction goes together. A lot of it hits on The Poetics of Aristotle which is actually an easier read and not as annoying, so that's a good option. There's also a really interesting book called Letters to a Young Fiction Writer, a collection of letters between well-known, established writers and younger writers they mentored at one time or another.

But King's advice to just read as much as you can is the best advice there is. That, and what Izak Dinesen said, "Write a little every day, without hope, without despair."

Quote by frightenedrabbit
Huh? You start a forum thread asking who Lush's most successful Amazon Kindle author is, and don't even address that question yourself? Instead just reeling off a plot synopsis of your own story? If a cheap self-marketing trick like this works I'll be fucking astounded.

The flash stuff didn't sell well AT ALL, but the short stories sold well, and the Open trilogy of stories did quite well. Thanks for asking!
