I'm spoiled. My recent stories were written for @literotica.com contests or challenges. All approved within hours. My latest isn't for any event and has been marinating in the Pending queue for almost one week. *Sigh* I thought Laurel trusted me. Now I know I'm just a regular schmo 🙂

Writers: Add a variant of one of these to your next book's copyright page (even though the AI bros will probably ignore it)

Yes, it's #ShamelessSelfpromoFriday From my @literotica.com collection: Recently fired, a young man visits a resort town to regenerate. He meets a friendly woman working there for the summer with her sister. Little did he know... www.literotica.com/s/seaside-wi... #SpicyReads #smutsky

Got a story submitted in time for the Literotica Nude Day contest. It was approved to go live in the morning but... it's bad. I've withdrawn it. I'll resubmit when it's something worth reading.

Another #ShamelessSelfpromoFriday. You're allowed to post your links! This offbeat little romp for @literotica.com Summer contest hit home with many readers: literotica.com/s/crazy-camp... She's weird, unpredictable and sets up her tent near his. Uh oh. #EroticStory #SpicyReads

Been trying to write my latest story in first person present tense like all the cool kids are doing. I'm giving up for now. I'll have to read a slew of YA and current romance to get a better feel for it.

It's #ShamelessSelfpromoFriday. Post your links! Another fun summer read from my @literotica.com back catalog, this time in Group Sex: literotica.com/s/shipwrecke... He joins two women for a short sailboat ride. Things go wrong and they shelter together in a cove overnight. #EroticStory

It's #ShamelessSelfpromoFriday? Ok, if you say so. Another reader favorite nudism story from my @literotica.com back catalog: literotica.com/s/skinny-dip... The neighbors were away. That night he hopped their fence to use their pool. Except a playful young woman had the same idea. #EroticStory

Working on a story for the @literotica.com Nude Day contest. This older nudist story became popular: Lonely Millie goes kayak camping on a remote river and meets a woman and her younger boy toy, both happy to share their love of naturism... and more. literotica.com/s/millies-ka... #EroticStory

I've read nearly every writing guide in existence (sooo much easier than actually, you know, writing), but haven't read this one. Just bought it. It's next on my TBR.

At least one of my Literotica stories was stolen in this way, as have the works of many others. Now that big name authors are affected too, the issue is getting some notice. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/21/b...

ProWritingAid now has a bunch of AI analysis features for fiction writers, like "Virtual Beta Reader" and "Chapter Analysis." I used "Chapter Critique" on one of my filthy stories. The results are interesting: syleussnow.wordpress.com/2026/04/08/p... #FictionWriting #WritingTools #AITools

Remember Hachette pulling "Shy Girl" for alleged AI content? Even though it should have gone through their editorial process? Even though the claims were dubious? All shady AF. Drey Dossier breaks it down in 2 vids: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tv_3... www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8wF... #AIWriting

Wikipedia now has an internal advice page on signs of AI writing. Focused on non-fiction, but it's pretty good: - Inflated importance and notability - Favorite AI words (delve, vibrant) - "Not just X, but Y" Sadly, they list "overuse of em dashes". Grrr. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiped... #AIwriting
