Treat yourself to this interconnected trio of pirate erotica featuring queer and trans pirates, decades of rivalry, monster anatomy, a pirate ship that's essentially a sex party, and gratuitous use of the phrase "Yes, Captain" 🏴‍☠️🌊⚓

From Woman to Woman :

In 18th-century Morocco, Oumnia, a well-respected doctor, decides to lay her heart to one of her patients, her childhood rival, Meriem, in one long steamy letter.

12 pages, there is also some fisting and masturbation in there 😉

#SmutPit #P #R #que #Les #Wr #Ex #erotica

Two hands touching a green caftan made with Damas. The title of the cover reads: Woman To Woman, by Mikoto.

Transcript of the text, here part of a letter:

« When we were younger, ineffable were the emotions you brought up in me. Now, grown up, words still fail me to describe with accuracy the effect you have on my person. It

Continuation of the letter reminiscing on their shared history.

Meriem is looking at the letter with a bewildered expression on her face, then she laughs painfully "And she has the gall to call me cruel—“. In the last panel, she’s clutching her head between her hands, down on her desk, muttering a "dammit.".

A KINKY WEREWOLF X VAMPIRE SEX COMEDY

Wulf discovers being a werewolf means no orgasms, unless he wants to howl down every cop in the city, so his two hot roommates help him train to resist.

But when Sky, vampire S&M club owner comes, will Wulf?

Wulf, a flushed naked brunette man if holding a silver moon pendant away from his chest and looking strained, as Amanda, a redhead with a half shaved faux hawk in a white jean jacket and Flint, a tall twink with mussy dark haired grinning widely, both have their hands around Wulf, and going lower...

At the bottom, to protect Wulf's modesty, is the author's name "Zeke Caliban"

My first #SmutPit post!

Meet ALCAEUS, an old man forced by society to top when, actually, he just wants to be used like the filthy subby bottom he truly is!

Get ALCAEUS here: www.smashwords.com/books/view/1...

#P #Pn #f #Gay #Enb #An #Bd #Ds #Im #Or #Sm #🔥🔥🔥

A green book cover with the title “ALCAEUS – A Touch of Dionysus” on a desaturated background photo of a statue of the god Dionysus next to another person. The cover has veins around the border and an illustrated image of an olive branch above the author name, “Rey Rider.” The cover is surrounded by the following tropes and kinks connected to the cover via arrows: “bathhouse, genderfluid Dionysus x middle aged cis man, D/S, subby old man, railed "without mercy," 6.2k short story, nectar precum (yup), vine bondage, rough sex, dom top Dioynsus."

“Life Before Blood” a prequel story inspired by Bram Stoker’s “Dracula”.

After the death of his lover, R.M. Renfield goes to Romania to help the Count to manage his affairs.

He didn’t expect to become one.

Top row:
A statue of Saint Peter viewed from below, cast in stained glass light, stepping on a damned cherub.
A skull lit by a flickering candle in the dark.
A puppet in shadow and smoke, it's strings about to be cut.

Middle row:
A pressed red and yellow flower.
The title "Life Before Blood".
A gothic castle in fog.

Bottom row:
A closed daguerreotype, a rosary draped across it.
A bare-chested man breathing rhythmically, hand on chest.
A plat of Turkish delight, strawberries, and wine.

The back cover of a zine. A snake curls in the upper right corner. The top text reads: "Originally published in Nobilis Erotica." The story blurb reads: “Mi amor … Have you ever taken one of your luck potions?”
“Once,” Javi said softly. “Just once.”
“When?”
“It was the day I met you.”" The story summary reads: " Javi is a downtrodden shaman living under his father's thumb. A chance encounter in a market sets his life on a new path." The author bio reads: "J. Aster is a writer of queer, speculative smut. Their work has appeared in Nobilis Erotica, The Pink Hydra, and OFIC Magazine, among others.

I walked into my local bookstore this weekend and saw an anthology I'm in??? On physical bookshelves?? Being sold to humans?? I was absolutely floating on air; I even told the bookseller: "I have a story in this!!!" and showed them my name in the index 😂🤩

How wild is this?? My queer speculative erotica is in two anthologies that I CAN HOLD IN MY HANDS. Both of them feature androids and robots 🤖

Discerning readers can grab these babies via @incisionpress.bsky.social or @kithbooks.bsky.social & @sbmilneca.bsky.social via @boldstrokesbooks.bsky.social

Two books stacked on top of each other. The spines read "Monsterf#ck" and "Gender Ever After."
