New user introduction... (original) (raw)

Hi! I just got accepted to the community, so I thought I'd do the whole "newbie intro" thing. However, most of the questions don't seem to apply. You see, I don't have a favourite erotica writer, book or any tips on writing great erotica. I've been largely unsuccessful in writing erotica myself because my characters are all, like me, really shy, and nothing ends up happening! (Thankfully, I've managed to get past it enough in real life -- it's just writing about it that stymies me.) And I've never really found any books or published authors of erotica that appealed to me. So I'm here both to get some suggestions *and* some tips. :)

However, to have this not be a total bust, I'll link to a couple of stories that I found on USENET that I really liked. They're both very vanilla, so no particular warnings seem necessary other than obviously NSFW, and they're both hetero, in case you have an orientation preference.

"Better Than Watching Leno," by Joris K. Huysmans

I hope you enjoy!

I could hear a stumble from the kitchen knowing it was Balthazar again. When will that silly cat learn that he is to big to jump from the barstools…
