Hello,
I'm here to introduce myself. I'm a new writer of ebooks, adult
erotica, and currently have four ebooks that are doing pretty well in
sales. I'm learning as I go and it's been quite an educational
experience. I have a myspace site if you'd like to get to know more
about me, my background, and my current projects:

I'm sincerely interested in networking with other authors, primarily
those specializing in erotica, where you think the genre is headed,
your opinion about ebooks in general, how to increase sales, etc. I'm
also quite open to feedback, critiques, and free flow of ideas. I am
serious about my craft and try to make myself available as time
permits for lively discussions. Thanks so much!

About the only way you can come up with that is if you boil both books
all the way down to the Standard Plot Skeleton -- hero has problem,
hero tries to solve problem, hero succeeds in solving problem. Which
applies equally well to "Hansel and Gretel" and "The Hunt for Red
October."

Hansel turned to Gretel, hunched over the scanner. "She's out there
somewhere..."

Twitter is for people who find blogging too slow. It's not ideal; for
one thing, entries are limited to a certain number of characters.
(There are ways around this.) But people are using it for non-obvious
purposes, such as telling when plants need watering and then watering
them. (http://twitter.com)

Thoughts on what might be done with a sufficiently advanced future
equivalent: Track celebrities and political candidates. Hook the
candidate up to medical sensors, so their health can be checked moment
to moment -- and the side-effects of anger. Some candidates might opt
for lie detector hook-ups. Some celebrities might want the world to
know when they're sexually aroused.

Beyond that? Direct brain feeds. Not full brain-to-brain feeds,
unless the recipient wants to commit suicide. But "voice" and text
feeds, to start with. Then non-verbal transmissions: This is what my
kind of synesthesia looks/sounds/tastes/feels like. This is a
hypercube being eaten by a hyperbear.

In an escort service prosecution (this is the Sen. Vitter case, not the
Gov. Spitzer case), a detective has provided a two-page glossary of
escort service terminology. Some of the terms are not exactly opaque
("head" oral sex; is this one new to you?), but some were new to me,
such as attempts (to reach orgasm), cover (a condom), CBJ (Covered Blow
Job, oral sex with a condom), and PSE (Porn Star Experience). The
glossary is available at
