Erotica 2: Bettina and Candy

21st Century Swinging - a guide for the tempted
Current Requirements:
We are looking for stories with lots of sex and good visual descriptions. We've stopped giving out set themes that we are looking for because writers write best when they are creating storylines that appeal to them. The most important thing to us is to get great, interesting stories that feed the readers imagination, with characters that the reader can relate to. Please take a look in Erotica 1, 2, 3 OR 5 to see the style of stories we use.
General Guidelines:
We only accept submissions in the form of typed hardcopy (no disks or email attachments please UNLESS PREVIOUSLY AUTHORISED). The length of the stories should be between 2000 and 10,000 words (approx).
Please include an s.a.e. with your submissions.
Always check the postage costs - we will not accept submissions which do not have enough postage on them.
Within each book the themes and storylines are varied, including stories containing heterosexual sex, girl-girl sex, group sex, soft-core bondage, domination etc. However, all stories need to include sex and erotica (and plenty of it!). As it is for the adult market, they should be very explicit. We would prefer that they also be contemporary.
The payment we offer is £20.00 per 1000 accepted words. This is based on a fee of £1000 for a whole book. We have no submission deadlines, as we always need a regular supply of stories.
It will help you to get an idea of the style of story we are looking for if you take a look in one of our books. Our latest book, Erotica 5 is a very good guideline of the kind of stories we like to include.
Some specifics:
* Please read through your work - if it doesn't make sense to you it won't make sense to us!
* Try not to mix up your characters - it can get rather confusing!
* Check your spellings, your punctuation etc., etc.
* Use quotation marks for going around conversations i.e. "us these please" not single quotes 'like these' - it makes for a lengthy editing job!
* Use double-line or 1 1/2 line spacing
* One-inch nipples really don't do it for me - so please restrain yourselves
* Try to use realistic scenarios
* No illegal acts i.e. incest, underage sex, rape, non-consenting acts, bestiality, etc.
Please get in touch with us if there is anything else you wish to know, we look forward to receiving your stories.

Please Note:
For all the staff here, what we do, is a labour of love, we don't get paid. We cannot always respond as fast as you would like, so please give us time in order to respond to you, and allow time for us to read your manuscripts. We are only human after all! If you have an email address, all the better, as we will be able to contact you more quickly. We will not spam you, and will only email you upon receipt of submission, and eventually, whether you have been accepted or declined etc.
Thank you for taking time to read this important little paragraph!
