Based on the zero feedback I get from posting into this void, I'm guessing that the recent offerings are being received in the same spirit as I post them. Which is to say we're* all shrugging at each other. Here's where I'm struggling with getting these stories released from my brain:
- Personal Assistant: if the Graham catches his dad and Ken together, what motivation would he have to be with Ken afterwards? I can't quite get there.
- Will: technically, the end of this story is Olive Juice. So I'm not sure where to stop with these two. This is a constant thorn in my side.
- Jay's Not Gay, You Guys: is such a slow burn. If we take each sexual encounter that Jay has as a chapter break, then I have three more before we're done. I'm also preparing myself to get absolutely reamed over the way I write about having a concussion (which is based entirely on my experience), and about what happens after.
- You're Lucky I'm Drunk: Even though it makes sense story-wise to have these lovebirds declare their feelings for each other when they're apart, I'm unsatisfied. So I'm toying around with a 4th part instead leaving off after the FaceTime sex of part 3. Maybe I also need to give the public a break from reading about sweet gay dads, given how saccharine the last pair I wrote turned out.
Look here.* Listen. Writing for erotic story sites requires a different approach than even self-published fiction. If you're reading an ebook then for everything to end after the main character climaxes is strange. There's no resolution. But with sites like Gay Demon, the whole point is getting off. The climax is the climax, and any denouement is short and punchy. "Let's do this again sometime." "And I knew I would never look at olive oil the same way." "It was going to be a long night." A sentence or two and then it's done so that the reader can clean up any mess they made.
As I try to push all these stories onto God's green internet, some of my indecision lies in which style of story to take each tale. To be honest, I'm not very good at aiming for Erotic Fiction Site Release; the torture of Stay Away From Her and the non-reaction to Mob Men being recent examples. This is a self-imposed problem and could be easily remedied by changing up my writing process. Less letting the story flow as it comes to me, more figuring out synonyms for dick and getting those on the page; that sort of thing. So here's to churning some shit out, bot friends!

My two cents: (1) You're Lucky I'm Drunk: feels like it deserves some kind of Epilogue wrap up; (2) Jay's Not Gay: brilliant, just keep doing what you're doing. I have to catch up on the others and get back to you. I wll try and comments more.
