greetings fellow scriveners... just discovered your intriguing site a week ago. I had no idea there were so many other amateur pornographers out there. some years ago i wrote a couple of novels, or should i say a novel and a sequel and sent them around a few places only to find theres no real money in it and and that some of my ideas were too extreme to be publishable... i.e. you cant have bondage sex and drugs in the same story by the unwritten rules of the porno biz. its some mafia distribution thing. i dunno. anyway, i'm a middle aged guy, divorced, currently working as a truck driver. for about thirty five years i was a professional illustrator, doing work for comic books, childrens books, advertising art, etc etc. about five years ago my contacts just started drying up and i found i was no longer able to make any kind of living at it any more. the comic book business collapsed. the advent of computer clip art eliminated the need for most storyboard artists. I wasnt going to the right parties and meeting the right people... whatever. Anyway I've got a bunch of material, stories and illustrations but I'm not real competant at the computer so its gonna take me some time to get the stuff scanned and put on discs, etc. just before i was forced into retirement i did a bunch of paintings and stuff for ernest greene at taboo mag which im sure many people would find interesting, judging by the other content on this site. I've been involved in many bdsm oriented relationships, or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that ive been in many outwardly vanilla relationships where we pursued a mutual interest in bdsm. anyone wanting to know more specifically what turns me on can pm me if they wish, or just wait till the stories come out. Anyway, thanks for creating a most enjoyable site. Have fun creating.
