Rejected again

I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking I got rejected for fellatio again. But you’re wrong.

WRONG, I tell you!

But that doesn’t mean I actually got one, either. Confused? It’s because this post has nothing to do with fellatio, despite the fact that I’ve used the very word twice in it already.

What I got rejected for in this case, again, was publication of an short story of mine at Clean Sheets. This is the second time I submitted a story to them. (And no, there wasn’t even a blow job in the story, which is rare but not unheard of for me.) Interesting thing, too, that both times I submitted to them I initially got no response whatsoever. I ended up resubmitting after a few weeks of nothing both times, and then I eventually heard back that they will not be able to use my story(s). Well, fuck ’em, then. They’ll be sorry when I’m rich and famous as an author of world class smut-lit.

Hey, I can dream, can’t I?

Seriously, though, I doubt I’ll be submitting any more stories to them. What the hell, it was worth a try, for the first few times anyway. It sure would have been nice to have gotten a morsel of constructive criticism out of them in the process, but no such luck. I suspect their editors just don’t care for my kind of writing.

I’ve been thinking about submitting my stories to Literotica instead, which, it seems, would not be as prestigious as Clean Sheets. There are an awful lot of crappy authors and crappy stories at Literotica, to my own tastes, anyway.

Not all of their stuff is crappy, though. There’s at least a handful of stories I read there which I thought were excellent, and a bunch of others which, while not up to the same standard, could best be described as ‘guilty pleasures’. The problem is, the bad writers far outnumber and outperform the good writers, so I end up having to wade through a boat load of crap in order to find the few gems. For that reason, I doubt any serious publisher of worthwhile erotic fiction bothers to look there for prospective authors.

So be it.

Another gripe I have with Literotica is that they have categories for various types of erotic stories, such as anal, exhibitionist, fetish, gay, etc., but there’s no category for oral, which is how I’d want most of my stories to be categorized. I even wrote them politely last month to ask/complain/suggest they change that, but no response.

Hey, I got no response to my initial story submissions to Clean Sheets either. Hmmm, I’m beginning to see a pattern here…

I guess I should write again and give them another chance, but WTF? Why doesn’t anybody want to write back to me? Do I really have such an aura of ‘loser’ about me? I guess that could also explain why nobody comments on my posts, or possibly even reads my blog. Somebody, please confirm or prove me wrong.

Anyway, whether or not I start publishing my work at Literotica, I think I’ll also post them here in this blog of mine. Simultaneously, if I do both. So watch this space. Eventually. Before I do, though, I think I’ll write a bit about how I got started writing my dirty stories, in a future post. One clue, for now: My failure to experience completed fellatio figures prominently.

And there’s that word again.
