You might have guessed already that it’s no coincidence that the Wicked Wednesday prompt for this week is ‘marathon’. I have specifically chosen it because I wanted to use this opportunity to tell you more about the Smut Marathon. For the first time since I started this meme I am even posting my Wicked Wednesday ... continue reading
It’s Alive!
I am damn nervous about this, damn nervous about showing you what I have been working on damn nervous about starting this project, damn nervous to know whether it will take off and be a success… … and, at the same time… I AM EXCITED! I have doubted myself for almost a year, wanting to ... continue reading
Smut Marathon 2.0
Background Back in 2013 and 2014 I participated in Alison Tyler’s Smut Marathon. The first edition was in 2012 (I believe) and that is when I learned about it, so when she hosted it again in 2013, I knew I wanted to be one of the participants. In 2014 I participated for the second time ... continue reading
Smut Marathon 2014: The final round
Three writers remained for the final round of the Smut Marathon 2014 and I was one of them. We received our final challenge on 1 November 2014: Here is the final challenge. Please write me a short story inspired by this photo by Riendo: The story should be 1500 words max. I will ... continue reading
Smut Marathon 2014: Round 8
Only four writers remained for the eighth round of the Smut Marathon 2014 and I am one of the four. I almost lost it when we received the new challenge from Alison: I’ve been waiting for this round. You have no idea how excited I am. So, David Bowie came out of semi-retirement to release ... continue reading
Smut Marathon 2014: Round 7
After surviving round 6 of the Smut Marathon, we had to wait a couple of days before we received the prompt for round 7: I hate saying goodbye to summer, so I thought I’d try to lift my spirits with a fabulous, sexy, smut-filled welcome to autumn. For this month’s challenge, please pen a 750 ... continue reading
Smut Marathon 2014: Round 6
I have made it through to round 6 of Alison Tyler’s smut marathon and received this assignment from her as the next challenge: So here’s my latest topic. As any long-time readers will attest, I’m fascinated by the concept of eavesdropping. Write a scene with that theme at the heart. 250 words max. Give your ... continue reading
Smut Marathon 2014: Round 5
We received this from Alison: Here is my latest assignment. You are giving a character a tattoo. (No, not you personally. A fictional tattoo artist is doing the actual inking.) This is a two-part assignment. 1) What is the tattoo? 2) Why? (Why is it important to the character…) (The what should be a sentence ... continue reading
Smut Marathon 2014: Assignment #4
Nine authors started on round 4, and I must say that I honestly found this quite a difficult assignment: Check out the 86-word postcard mentioned in the piece. Then write me a “postcard” that is 100 words max that you think would be intriguing enough to be kept for the ages. All of my standard ... continue reading
Smut Marathon 2014: Assignment #3
I made it through to the third round after I shared the first place with two other authors in the second round. The assignment we received for the third round was: This month’s assignment is to choose a song that inspires you and write a flash piece. 250-300 words max. Yes, that’s a hard limit, ... continue reading
The Writing Marathon
As frequent readers of my blog would know, I have participated in Alison Tyler’s smut marathon on 2013 and am now doing so again in 2014. I found 2013 to be quite a learning experience and therefore wanted to continue with it in 2014. In between the smut marathons of these two years, the idea ... continue reading
Smut Marathon 2014: Round 2
I survived round 1 of the Smut Marathon 2014 and on 24 February I received my assignment for round 2: I want you to peruse the opening lines offered in last month’s challenge and choose one (but not the one you wrote, of course, because that would be too easy). Write me a 250-word start ... continue reading
