    Ahhh see it's not quite erotic fiction, and it's definitely not porn. A friend of mine put it to me like this... 80% of women who read this will be doing so because they are twilight fans and get hot under the collar because of the sex in it. Then there's the other 20% who read it for the topic of control/BDSM etc. If you're looking for hardcore erotica, or wham bam porn... or hardcore BDSM. You will be disappointed.

    It's like twilight... 80% read it for the "love story" 20% were hoping for awesome vampires and were disappointed. Yet you ask the first 80% what kind of vampires they were, and besides being sparkly they wouldn't have a freakin' clue.

    I reckon love stories are sucky enough without vampires thrown in

    I'm getting my set back this arvo ...

    It will be a competition between Grey and Hunger Games ...

    I wonder who will win?

    Or maybe I should alternate a chapter for a chapter, and just see what happens ...

    BTW: last night I was learning how to use the pottery wheel, and the building and crushing stages are really, really phalic ... might have a new meaning next week!!
