How about pomegranates? Those are some of my favorite sexy fruits... I could do honey or almonds or figs as well... not surprisingly, ... more
Any of them would be a challenge! Pomegranates will probably lead to some Persephony stories but that is ok too. Just drop me a note when you decide and we'll work it into the next meeting's choices along with a blog and forum talking about the taste/sensory experience!

Aw man! I missed it! I was otherwise engaged... but I found bells! Next time, maybe. And I'll put up pictures of the bells when I manage to get here in time.

Sorry I missed this - I had a migraine and could barely see let alone sit at computer.

I look forward to having our stuff critiqued.

*waves feebly* I missed because of time zones, but now I have a migraine. My head hurts too much for me to read 7 pages of discussion right now, but hopefully the cliff notes version will be up soon.

I haven't been writing much, except one blasphemous Nativity piece for Eden Cafe that'll be up the week of Christmas. I've been completely tied up with Christmas stuff and writing reviews. Santa brought me an early parcel full of stuff for naughty girls!

Time to take migraine meds and go back to sleep. Sorry I missed yet another meeting. Someone get on that 'flatten the earth' project, kay?

Let's see how long I last on the internet before I am blocked out once again!!!

My attempt at a suggestion; Have a few choice members visit some of the Erotic Story sites around the internet. Get permission to post in the Forums about EdenLit and what is done here.

When it comes time to the discussions in the Forums, I think a lot of people want to participate, but I think quite a few people simply don't because they don't want to read all the months stories. Or don't want to publicly say what they liked or didn't like about something. It's like our blogs. We get so many hits every day, but compared to the number of comments people make...

I honestly think that when the book is out, and it's posted on the homepage, and when people read it, there will be quite an increase of participants here in EdenLit. They will read the submissions and say, "I can do that!!!"

OH and speaking of interest how about a Eden Cooks/Eden Lit cross over of some sort?
What about a crossover with the Photography club?

Here is an example of what I mean scroll through quickly. You see the pictures work with the words? What about seeing if the Photo Club wants to take a person's story and go out into the world and take pictures to help tell the story?

If it is an erotic story, it doesn't have to be whole bodies, but something erotic yet creative. One of my favourite orgasm pictures is a picture of a woman's pale hand clenching some scarlet silk bed sheets.

The Club is almost finished its first full year of activity, what about a fun rewards program to end the year with?

Something like "Most Funny Story or Poem", "Most arousing story", "Most thoughtful story"... like Oscars for EdenLit. The beginnings are posted in a new thread, and each member who answers them provides links to the story/poem, to bring some of the older stories to the front and also circulates more.

I'd be curious to know if EF would be curious in doing something like, getting some swanky and fancy paper for Valentines Day (an example!!!), then all parcels that are shipped from say January 10th to February 20th, have an erotic/romantic style letter included. Now if EF thinks this is a good idea and is interested... if they would want to be sneaky... then they'd only put half the story and have a "if you'd like to read the rest visit this website.."

There is also the Sexis Magazine that is published. What about an add in there? Or a few short clips from stories?

I still haven't read the thread (sorry!) but I'd love to see our book offered as one of the free gifts with purchase, even if it was only for a limited time. I think that would get us a lot of publicity.
