Archive-title: The Journal Entries-- a word of warning

Aug 1992

   I'm baaaack!  :-) :-)

   Word of Warning, part 1.  I apologize to the readers of
alt.sex.stories who didn't get my original posts regarding reposting my
stories.  It seems my site doesn't carry alt.sex.stories (I get my
a.s.stories through a back door) and so I can't post to it directly;
rnews made my original posts go >poof!<.

   Anyway, the few times I've posted stories for other people, I've
gotten lots of compliments for stuff I didn't write, and in one case,
lots of flames.  If anyone is going to get love or hate letters for my
stories, let it be me; I'm still on the net, let me be the one to
repost my own stories.

   Word of Warning, part 2.  These stories are, for the most part,
LONG even for me.  They aren't quite Travellogue, but there's a lot of
story between introduction and sex scene.  These were somewhat
experimental for me, subtle changes from my usual style of writing.

   Word of Warning, part 3.  That said, let me say that _I_ think
there's more than enough _story_ in these stories to justify my posting
them to alt.prose.  On the other hand, there is _sex_ in these stories,
so those of you on alt.prose who don't feel such material is
appropriate for you, hit 'n' now.

   Editorial Comment.  There's an anti-sex attitude on alt.prose that
bothers me, A LOT.  Sex, even graphic sex with the 'camera in close',
is "okay" on alt.prose so long as its accompanied by violence.  Graphic
depictions of rape that make American Psycho look like a day at the
circus are apparently tolerated without flames, while I'm sure that
_my_ stories are going to attract more flames than I care to think
about it.

      Elf !!!
