Hey, Kiera!

1 - I built a hang glider with a friend in high school, out of bamboo carpet rods and plastic sheeting. It didn't fly well, but it flew.

2 - After college I hitch-hiked from Iowa to NYC, via Canada. Took about two weeks.

3 - I own a REALLY nice telescope.
If it's 2 a.m. and I am awake I am CERTAIN to be listening to Coast to Coast on the radio - this dumb show about UFOs and cyptids and lizard people and the hollow earth. It's my go-to when insomnia strikes.
HUGS

Ping! I got it! Your secret SCTV connection! You're Dr. Tongue! Would you like some...pancakes?



Just got sucked into a rabbit hole of old SCTV clips for like a half an hour.

Royals win = donuts!!! Yay!!! Of course, the Mets lost, as they have been doing since Saturday. But at least there are donuts.

Just had a session with my therapist, so I am in a good mood. Preparing mentally for the MLC with her help.

Not much else going on. Time for maybe one more cup of coffee.

I also like baked chicken, with a bread crumb/parmesean cheese coating.

Hey all.

I share Fuzzy's baseball woe. After sweeping a double-header with the Yankees, they beat us down for the next three games straight. HATE the Yankees.

I have a gob of unused vacation pay, so I took off Friday and tried a day of what typical post-University life should look like. Wrote 900 words, submitted two stories, took a long walk. Met LJ at the door as she came home from work, and took her out to dinner. Nice day. I could live like that. Things should work out fine.

We didn't do much Justifed this weekend. Trying to draw it out a little. We did see Gary Busey's son blow up. He blowed up REAL good!



Coffee would be a great arrow to have in my quiver.

alive and running around the yard, happy and free.


Hippie.

Grilled with a little salt and pepper is my fave.

Crock pot, cooked with green chilies, onion and jalepeno is good too. Make it into enchiladas or nachos or just slap it into a tortilla.
If you go to Duotrope--$50 a year--you can search for anyone who will publish any genre, including erotica. Some of them pay well. You can search by pay rate too, and length of story, and a bunch of other stuff.

I haven't been published too many times, but when I have it's by using Duotrope.
Terrence and I took the lava lamp to the lava lamp repair woman and she fixed it right up!



Forgot you were a Nats fan Elizabeth. I think the Mets might have set off that chain of events that resulted in much of baseball cancelling the night. I'm glad they did too. And...double header with the hated Yankees today!!!

Took the day off today--I have a bunch of unused vaycay days I have to use up--and am gonna see how much I can write in a solid writing day. Shooting for 900 words. We'll see.

Saw a great old-school horror/thriller with LJ: Magic. A young Anthony Hopkins, an older Ann Margaret, and Burgess Merideth doing his Burgess Merideth thing.

Coffee would be a three pitch strike-out to my sleepiness.

Hey, Curvy, did you get those two shot glasses at the end of the bar I left for Jeff? There had been three, all filled filled with 'mule Head Whiskey' and like I said, there were three of them. But after finishing the third, the Verbal unit got all worked up (probably had to do with the GOP convention but who knows?) and tossed that third glass into the bars big fireplace. Only problem being the bar ain't got no fireplace. (sigh) The good news is he missed the lava lamp which was, as always turned on.



Yeah, that final shot glass ended up hitting Terrance the tarantula, which so saddened me--during tarantula migration season no less-- that I bought Terrance a beer and a shot and we drank the night away.

We washed up after we were done. Sadly we also broke open the lave lamp trying to figure out if the goop was alive or not.

And no, it wasn't the GOP convention that set me off. Though Lord knows it could have.

Sorry the Royals lost Fuzz. Mets won for a change. And they are playing 2 double headers with the Yankees this weekend!

Coffee would be the period at the end of the sentence that is my morning.

DIRTY BRACAFRACKING DAB-NAB-IT ALL TO HECKY DARN!



I'll second that. This day certainly frikkin blows. And it's barely half over. Grrrr.

Three shots glasses full of bourbon, please, and place them at the end of the bar, so I have something to work toward.

Fuck 2020.

Next binge should be teenage bounty hunters on Netflix. Trust me. Its brilliant.


Wow. Just saw the trailer. That looks really good! On the list!

Any other binge-ing (how do you spell that word?) suggestions? We have Netflix, Hulu, Prime and HBO.
Quote by Grace
I guess it's to make up for the missing leg


Oh my God, did you really lose a leg? I missed why you left, when you left. I am so sorry (unless I am horribly mistaken). Please accept my condolences, and my stupidity for not knowing.

Whatever Grace likes, bartender.

Not much up here. I have a "counseling" session concerning the Major Life Change. Helping my eldest buy a car later today too.

So happy you get to see your daughter after 200 plus days TG.

Ping (excuse me, KENNY), we are sorta casting about for the next binge. Maybe The Americans. LJ loved Keri Russell (again, all I know is she used to have cool hair in Felicity). Maybe Ozark. Maybe Better Call Saul.

An actual Mets game today! They got shut down for Covid and haven't played for 5 days.

Coffee would be a home run in the game of my life. Or at least a solid double down the third base line.
HUGS

Tell Grace we said hi, Carl. Miss her. Sorry your Royals did poorly, and sorry we got no donuts. sad The Mets didn't lose this weekend. Of course, they didn't play. No Subway Series, it got knocked down by Covid. They will try again next weekend.

Deep into season six of Justified. Looks like they are really gonna try to hit the ball out of the park this season. Hope they succeed. The body count has gotten so high (THEY KILLED DEWEY!!!) (sorry for the spoiler, but the show is like 15 years old) that whenever a scene gets tense, LJ grabs my arm and goes "Oh no," sure that death is imminent. It often is.

Good luck in Paris, Martin. Glad you kept your kids home, Tonya, if it left you uneasy. And Chris, the only thing odder than the speakers at the Republican convention is that they didn't even bother with a platform. It's like the Know Nothing party all over again. Pence is speaking now.

Oops, started to dip my toe into politics. I'll stop. Though if sprite went third party with the I'll Teach You How to Squirt party, she'd get my vote. MAKE AMERICA SQUIRT AGAIN!

Nice to see you back, Penman.

And Ping (excuse me, KENNY), describing a roll of condoms as "like an unfolding accordion being pulled out from a magician’s sleeve" made my day.

Coffee would be the full moon in my night sky.

Time Travel comp story? I hope so


I wish. I'm a little burnt out on erotica. I'll return, not quite yet.

Today I spent a LONG time researching what cow teeth look and feel like.
Quote by GrushaVashnadze
I just looked up the plural of "rectum".

(Go on, you know you want to...)


Ha! Just looked it up myself! I won't spoil it.

I have recently looked up if an ambulance would come to take away a dead body, or some other type of vehicle. And who would come to investigate if you reported a dead body. I've said too much already.
HUGS

Hey Marvin, Bill, and the lovely triumvirate of Setters-Up.

Alyx, put your fingers in your ears for just a sec while I talk sports.

I'll take one of those donuts, Carl. I see your Royals started an ex-Met pitcher, Matt Harvey, the Dark Knight of the 2015 World Series team, just made a start for your guys. Hint: the minute he has a runner on base, PULL HIM! Trust me on this.

The Mets themselves have Covid-19. Yesterday's game cancelled, today's game (AGAINST THE YANKEES!) also canceled. Who knows what happens after that.

Okay, Alyx, you may unplug your ears.

Ping (excuse me, KENNY), no good movies playing this weekend, so I suspect LJ and I will binge through the last season of Justified the next few days.

Not much else gong on. It was nice to see Biden didn't say anything goofy last night - I was worried. <frantically deleting my other political musings because everyone's sick of politics>

Coffee would be a shining sun in the blue sky of my day.
HUGS

Hey, Fuzzy, sorry you got swept in a double header. Ouch! At least they were only 7 inning games. Mete won again, and are approaching. 500 ball.

Sorry for the string family illnesses and deaths, Tonya. We went through a string of those about a decade ago, and it shook both my daughters, but they were resilient. I am sure your littley will be too.

Glad you are setting into Paris, Martin.

Cool turtle adventures, TG! I have a RL story concerning sea turtles and LJ and jealousy on my part at the VERY beginning of our relationship, but it's too long to recount (and besides, I look bad in it).

Hey Chris and Jonathan. Thanks for the set up, Curves. Sara, my Mets are nipping at your Braves heels.

Coffee would be a soothing refreshment.
Shannon! Happy birthday! One of my dearest, longest friends here! Have a an excellent one. You are a sweet soul.


Quote by kistinspencil
I must start by saying that I feel I am as guilty of these excesses as anyone. I do try to avoid the obvious tropes, but it is still a constant struggle between staying true to what I know and casting up the sort of fantasy that will get a story read. It is pretty obvious that those who do not feel such constraints garner a larger tally of votes and praise, though that may be as much a measure of my writing ability as anything else.

So what to do? While I write first to please myself, to tell a passing good story, I do confess to feeling the prick of disappointment seeing few votes or reading "Not very sexy, but nicely written." on something I toiled over. I am, after all, fully as vain as the next person. That said, this is a bastion of erotica and the vast majority of the readers are, in one form or another, men. They expect the flash and bang of a porn shoot, from what I can see, and want it to be the point of the story, not just an incidental, though important part of the whole. For myself, I can't fill that measure of desire, but just try to spin out stories I can live with. There is much to be said for the challenge it poses.


Not everyone is looking for, or writing, the flash and bang of a porn shoot, though yeah, most of the stories here are. I try to spin out stories I can live with too, and there are quite a few people here writing toward that goal. Quite a few people trying experiments in blending genres too, like horror/erotica and humor/erotica Keep at it. I look forward to seeing what you've written. Thanks for putting it on my radar.

And to the OP, I don't disagree, but don't be too hard on people writing about gushing fluids and hard-as-rock nipples. People are writing their fantasies, which is a private and personal thing. And sometimes fantasies get it wrong. It's brave to put ANY of your words down on the page for others to see, let alone sharing your private fantasies.
HUGS

Hello all. Sorry about your Royals, Fuzz, and sorrier there are no donuts. Mets have won two in a row and are no longer in last place.

Ping (excuse me, KENNY), yeah, we are already adjusting to life after Justified. I am glad to hear they bring it to a satisfying conclusion. I have a prediction on a character death which I will not say here, so as not to spoil things. We may well try The Americans next, LJ loves Keri Russel (all I know about her is she had cool hair back in the Felicity days.

Tonya, you well deserve some you time.

Sent off the endless horror/sci-fi story last night, after ten thousand frikkin drafts. I was getting a little sick of it. I'll know Sept 1 if they took it. Writing a short, simple ghost story now. I hope it stays simple.

Michelle Obama ROCKED last night. I wish I could vote for her.

Coffee would be appreciated.
HUGS to everyone in these trying times.

Simmy, know we are waiting with you as you count down the 14 days.

V-Ness, hope your husband is improving. And that they let you see him finally.

TG, I tried getting my stories pulled from other sites, back when I was writing erotica steadily. They just keep coming back - like weeds. Look on it as free advertising for your own writing.

We saw Iron Man in the theater this weekend. Really fun - and the movie held up really well. Much less bloated than some of the later entries in the Marvel Universe.

We also saw Shirley on Hulu, loosely based on Shirley Jackson while she was writing Hangsaman. Really really good. And, finished season 5 of Justified. I like Michael Rappaport, but man, his southern accent slides in and out faster than <insert appropriate simile here>. Still, a gut-wrenching season, setting us up for the final season. Ping (excuse me, KENNY), your thoughts?

Not much else. Standard Monday complaints about getting my head into the workday.

Coffee would be a mercy.
Quote by Green_Man


I LOVE this movie. Hot and smart and stylish. Soderbergh at his best. And it's Elmore Leonard!
Just saw Shirley on Hulu. It was excellent! Really enjoyed it. it's about Shirley Jackson (Haunting of Hill House, The Lottery) but strays quite a bit from the facts of her actual life. It still groks Shirley Jackson really well. A-MAZING performance by Elisabeth Moss, who is slowly becoming one of my very favorite actresses. And the guy playing her batshit crazy husband is just as good. Highly recommend.
Quote by Cuckold_Kenny


Ah man, so sorry to hear that. Have some limoncello with me. Remember to take care of yourself during this trying time.

Tonya, be good. And you of all people needs to take good care of yourself.

T-God, that Bulgarian Bitch has a Karma ass whoopie’ coming her way. Damn. She is clearly a huge fan of yours. I don’t know how many pages I had to scroll through until I found my last comp story on her site.

Verbs, I told you to take the damn package. But then move to Canada. Free healthcare plus, you can augment it for other things like glasses, dental, and prescriptions. Cheap like borscht.

Rump, keep Vanessa’s drinks coming. Put them on my tab. BTW, sorry for running out on that thing. McFuzz has been charging donuts to it. Bastard.

If anyone guesses the avatar pics name, you get a free drink and dinner on me. Just come to my restaurant.

Still feel the same way. Not returning. But popped in because I swung by and saw Vanessa’s post. I do worry about the wee thing. Every time I listen to White Stripes, I picture her naked beating the skins.

In the mountains right now. Did some glacier hiking this morning. Very cool. Yes, punny. Fuck you, pun police.

Oh yeah, Martin. Moving back to Paris. Bastard. I know where you are. All of you. If I’m in the neighbourhood, I’ll contact you for drinks. Don’t see New Jersey anytime soon, but ChrisM, Montreal possibly next summer. Texas and Mississippi first.

Funny thing. I still feel this is the best erotica site online, but I just can’t deal with the lying, misinformation, and general, all around bullshit. Much less anxiety and stress now. Tested Literotica with a story. No comments. Couldn’t even tell what the voting totals or scores were. Cut and run, never to return again.

Been writing a sissy cuckold origin dream story while in these glorious Canadian Rockies. Not sure I’ll ever submit it anywhere to be published. Just writing for me. Unsure I’ll keep this profile either. Just wanted to hug a few bar flies.

Stay frosty everyone.



Kenny, you Magnificent Bastard! You had me at limoncello.

Yeah, wtf, I will borrow Tonya's scolding tone and tell you there are a lot more people who like you here than there are assholes. Okay, maybe that's not true, there are alotta assholes here, and alotta assholes everywhere, but here in this particular bar good people outnumber assholes at least 5-1. Do what I do and spend most of your time here. We miss you. It's a tough fucking year, we all need all the friends we can find. Feel the love. BEEEE THEEEE LOOOOVE....

And, speaking of tough years, so sorry V-Nessa. Life is like camping, you're doing swell and then out of the blue a big, mean, drunk, bear comes along and destroys your tent and tries to eat everyone. I am giving you hugs and weed, Ping (excuse me, KENNY) is serving you up some lemoncillo, and I have in my hand a rare VHS copy of...wait for it...Captain Kronos: Vampire Hunter.

First time I saw Captain Kronos it was projected on a sheet in someone's backyard. It was awesome. I propose we do the same here at Rump's. Venture out into the starry desert, set up a projector, and project horror movies against the wall of the bar while we drink and smoke and bond and heal and wait for this godforsaken year to fucking end.

First round's on me.

HUGS

Just heard on the news that if you have AMC theater near you on Thursday they are having 1920 prices. You can see whatever they decide to play for fifteen cents. Jeff I was thinking of you and LJ when I saw the story.

Since I'm here I'll grab another cup of tea please.


Thanks for thinking of us! I don't know why I am SO psyched to see a movie, even LJ is not as excited as I am. I just really love movie theaters. Cool your littley was actually excited about the dentist.

Nothing much else happening here.

Coffee.
Quote by LucaByDesign
Please correct me if I'm mistaken, but I always thought archetypal themes emerged during the telling of a story because, well — because they're archetypal, are wired into our humanity. Consequently, if one is working from a creative core, they can't help but emerge — if you pay attention, that is, give them their due when they bubble up.

I have a book — somewhere on my shelves — that I read years ago. From memory, it's about writing using archetypal themes as a template. I hated it. I know they say George Lucas studied this kind of stuff, that Star Wars is one long daisy chain of archetypal cliches, but it seems such a contrived way to work. IMHO

And don't get me wrong; I've read my Jung — still read him after all these years.


If you've not already seen this, some of you guys might enjoy this talk by Kurt Vonnegut. It's about the trajectory of stories. You need to watch it all the way through to get his point.






Bookmarking the Vonnegut to watch later.

I agree with much of this. Archetypes will crop up, and it's the writer's job to recognize and harness them when they do. BUT I think there is fine line between archetypes and cliches (it's where the cliches came from!), and the Star Wars movies are a perfect example of this. I know I'm in the minority in saying this, but I find them pretty overrated, and I like sci-fi. Archetype can quickly devolve into cliche, and it did in those movies.

When it works though, it's powerful (even when you're subverting it, like Jocelyn) and it's easy to find the archetypes lurking in every favorite narrative, movies or books or a story someone just told you.

I think it applies to a TON of erotica.
HUGS

Hello? Is this thing on? Testing, testing.

We are going to an actual movie this weekend. They are playing "classics" at the movie theater, $5 seats and $5 popcorn. Ferris Buehler here we come!

Red Rocks amphitheater is also doing a drive-in night, and while it is the coolest concert venue in the world, tickets are SIXTY BUCKS! I think not.

Glad your Royals did well, Fuzz, and thanks for the resultant donuts. I'll just lick the sprinkles from the bottom of the box. The Mets won too.

Safe trip Sara. I hate airports.

Chris: you lost 3000 words? I think I would have cried.

I heard Kamala's speech yesterday, while taking my afternoon walk, and felt a small swell of hope in my heart.

Coffee.
