This is the personal site of Rob Heart, an author of literary fiction. He has recently produced a book called "Typographical Error", which is essentially a romance/erotica novel. The site includes excerpts from two chapters, as well as the author's bio. The story, as I understand it, revolves around a man named Tyler who has a broken heart after a failed relationship. He sends an email to a friend with a typographical error in the address section and accidentally writes to a woman named Kelly. The two of them hit it off and have a heartwarming romance. The author describes it as a 21st Century Fairytale. In addition to info about the book, you'll find an author's links section that will lead to many other works of erotica and a somewhat confusing and defensive section about the author's feelings regarding the publisher PublishAmerica, which is a company that I know nothing about. » More Info!

There are few places on the web that I visit almost every day, but this is one of them. This site offers an incredible selection of free erotica divided into categories as diverse as erotic horror, sci-fi/fantasy, romance, and transsexuals & crossdressers. You'll find straight, bisexual, gay, and lesbian stories as well as themes that defy any gender or sexual preferences that we know. There is a variety here that is only possible when a site takes submissions from the general public, which means that quality spans the spectrum. I've read stories here that were barely worth looking at, but I've also read works of pure red hot genius. If you find an author you like, you can look at their free profile and read more of their work! The length of the pieces here vary from short poems to long novels. There are even collaborative stories in which authors build on each other's creations. In addition to this, you can take advantage of free audio files (which you can also record), chat, active bulletin boards (that include things like adult roleplay games), and advice column, free email service, personals, writer's guide (with lots of great essays and links), reviews, pics, movie of the day, adult news, illustrations, cartoons, naughty flash games, and more. If you are a writer, you'll be interested in their contests which hand out awards throughout the year. You may also check out their newly released anthology series of the best writers on Literotica. All in all, this site is an incredible find for anyone who enjoys the written word. I absolutely recommend the place! » More Info!

Back in 2001, Peter reviewed this site. He noted that she wrote from"...a unique woman's point of view." He further mentioned that "November has several categories of writing - her own sexual confessions, erotic stories, X-Files fanfic....Much of this is quite well written and all I read was enjoyable." I went back to review the new version of the site and found that, if anything, it is better and more vibrant. The fanfic is decently written and really explores characters from an emotional, as well as a sexual, viewpoint. Her stories tend towards Male/Female interaction, although I have to mention Arcadia as one of my personal favorites, with Male/Male and some strong SM undertones along with the woman's perspective. The 'Confessions' section is a hot glimpse into November's personal life. For original erotic fiction, this site is not to be missed! » More Info!

Recommended. » More Info!

Wow, if you've ever looked high and low for just the right erotic story you know how difficult it can be to find. This site offers the solution, and puts a host of artists and authors at your service. You can choose a staff writer, celebrity author, stock illustration, or custom art piece. You can give a highly detailed idea to the craftsmen you choose, or you can pick out your favorites and let them wing it. You can choose the length of piece, and the level of heat you want it to contain. The only subject matter they say they won't work with? Incest, bestiality, violent (non-consensual sex), and underage characters witnessing or participating in sexual situations. Everything else seems to be fair game. If you don't like the story that they write for you, they offer one free revision. You can check out story samples on the site, and the order form is easy to understand and secure. If you are an aspiring author, they offer a writer's guide called "29 Ways to Write Great Erotica". It looks like they have plans to add quite a bit more to the site, but they haven't put it all online yet. Well organized with great customer service info. » More Info!

There are about a dozen stories here thus far, several of which have been nominated for reader's choice awards. Hosting is at Alt Sex Stories Text Repository, where the author has been posting for several years. In the several stories I read there was a great variety of topics and the stories were quite well written and good fun.

This is fun! The service is free, and offers customized erotic fiction. You simply fill in a bunch of personalizing blanks, a from and to email, and you're presented with a customized story. Your mate is notified that the fantasy is waiting for them to request. DO note, however, the small box at the bottom of the form that you need to check if you don't want to receive "special offers". There are 3 levels of stories: sexy, X-Rated and "Off the Wall". If you do an "off the wall" it's kinda like "Mad Libs" where it just inserts random nonsense words for body parts, and such. » More Info!

This site is a sex-positive, feminist, and out and out hot porn site and hip online webzine aimed at heterosexual women. Inside it you'll find well over 60 pieces of erotic fiction, a cornucopia of women's health and sexuality articles and advice columns, reviews (mainstream movies, adult films, TV, books, sex toys, and "women's products"), four subscriptions to other online ezines (Daily Stories, Sex Positions, Kama Sutra, and Tantra magazine), and a very intelligent and interesting daily blog by the woman who runs the site. That just covers the written material, and I'm sure that I'm leaving a few things out by accident! You'll also find audio stories, gallery upon gallery of gorgeous men, "couples" pictures, and a lot of videos. The site claims in the preview that it, "...[G]ives you quality hardcore couples pics complete with kissing, cunnilingus, and afterglow." They more than live up to that. Yes, it IS raining men in here. That said, the true genius of this place is that it dares to approach female sexuality in a sophisticated way without trying to remove any of the heat or humor. Intelligent, empowering, beautiful, and very sexy!

I like the idea of this site. I've long felt that erotica authors have gotten a poor deal on the internet, with their work stolen, or underpaid. The idea here is that authors can offer their original novels or short stories for sale in ebook format via PayPal. Unfortunately they do have a lot of competition in free material all over the web that is as good or better caliber of writing. There are only 2 things available for purchase so far, a novel length (around 1200 pages) ebook called Cinderalla's Diary ($12.95) and a collection of a few short stories, 'Squeem', available for $3.95. Each has excerpts to read before you decide to buy. » More Info!

This is a great webzine, which has been free for some time but is constructing a member's area soon. The material ranges widely with interviews, diaries, cartoons, stories, fiction, and galleries of photographers & illustrators. Content is all original work of the submitting artists. Many of the contributors are well known within erotica circles, but as well the site solicits submissions from known or unknown fellow "starving hedonists". They update monthly - and judging by the current issue, updates are healthy - and downloads of the prior three years of issues are available for fee download. I thought it was worth a visit just for their exclusive cartoon, "Rugburn" alone, but enjoyed the rest as well. » More Info!

This free page presents the fiction of award winning gay writer Decker. His work is fresh, raw, and real - and occasionally perhaps just a bit unreal. "My work is dedicated to tracing the fingerprints left on my skin." He includes a timeline which matches the AIDS epidemic milestones to times of his own life. Worth a visit. » More Info!

This is the personal site of author Dale West. She has written in a variety of genre here, from a journal to research on the area of love letters between women, to fiction both erotic and sensual. The brief bio she offers sounds like an interesting woman, and I found much of her writing to be refreshing. Some of the site is illustrated with her own paintings. Her fiction is often posted at eroticstories.com under the pen name of 'courageous george'. » More Info!

I spend a lot of time at ASSTR, and Nick is one of the authors I find myself repeatedly returning to. [We don't know each other - I just like his style.] His personal site here, hosted by ASSTR, is quite well done. Unusually for the genre, he has licensed permission for all of his pictures, and you can find yourself rolling on the floor laughing your ass off just cycling through his 'picture of the day' collection. The site is all free, and quite nicely done. His stories are a cut above the usual wanking story. Beyond using a spellcheck, an often omitted skill, he actually knows how to use the language, how to construct a story, and how to make a wanking story fun - and stimulating - to read. Now that I've found this I'm going to be bookmarking him directly instead of just going to ASSTR and hunting.

Yay for this new site! Anne Semans is half of a fab duo of women who co-write books on sexuality for Down There Press, and this site is her pet project with kickass partner-in-crime (and killer web designer) L. Michelle Johnson, creator of the old web favorite "Stupid Penis Tricks". This site is a sort of spin-off of the erotic anthology "Sex Toy Tales", which is short stories featuring (obviously) sex toys. There are four new stories published each month, and the author of the readers-choice wins a gift certificate. Submission guidelines are up if you want to submit a little something of your own. There are also sextoy reviews posted, along with a tips section on how to use 'em. Links are provided to buy toys online through Libida. » More Info!

A nice site for readers of erotica. Cheyenne is an increasingly prolific author of erotica who has been published both on the net and in print anthologies. Visitors here - her site is free - can read quite a few of her stories either directly on the site or linking to other sites where they are hosted.

Cynthia is a phonesex operator who started writing erotica as a fantasy outlet. Here she has 7 of her own original stories - first time and incest fantasy seem to be common themes in these well written stroke stories. She also has 8 stories by others, both general submissions and stories by other phonesex operators. When the author does phonesex, she links to their site at the end of the story. » More Info!
