How cool would it be to have a mix of erotica authors — professionals and amateurs — produce a body of work based on the theme of your choosing?

If you said “pretty dang cool,” then I have good news for you: That’s the prize currently on offer for the October Story Challenge over at the Darknest Fantasy Erotica webforum. Write an original story, post it on the forum, and you get entered in a drawing to pick the theme for an upcoming challenge. Easy as that!

Now, if you’ve never visited the site before, you’ll notice (when you click the handy link above) that it asks for registration. Don’t panic! This is not a for-profit porn site. Registration is free and takes about a minute to complete.

What do you get once you’ve registered? Well, access to a thriving community of fantasy erotica fans, for one thing. Tons of free content from the resident artists, authors, 3D modelers, and other creative types. And all the details on the October Story Challenge being run by yours truly!

About Darknest Fantasy Erotica

Darknest Fantasy Erotica is an active and well-established community of, well, fantasy erotica fans, just like the name suggests.

Darknest AnthologyAuthors from the Story Board (which I moderate) contributed to the excellent Darknest Anthology, a collection of dark fantasy erotica shorts that you may remember from last summer. (I’m in it!)

The Story Board often serves as an incubator for up-and-coming talent. Many Darknest contributors have gone on to become self-publishing professionals — and a lot of us established types still post free content there, as well, making it a great place to pick up some bonus stories you won’t see in the catalog or mailing list.

About the October Story Challenge

Whether you’re a first-timer just looking to dip a toe into the world of erotica writing or an established author with a platform of your own, the October Story Challenge is a chance to show your skills — and to get a shot at influencing a future round of stories with your chosen theme!

All you have to do is post a story (at least 1000 words with a complete, self-contained plot/scene) along the monthly theme (this month’s is “disguises!”) on the Story Board. That gets you entered in a drawing, and the winner of the drawing picks the December theme — effectively guaranteeing anywhere from three or four to over a dozen free short stories sharing that theme, depending on the month’s participation.

Sound cool? Of course it does! Get over to the Darknest Story Board (and register, if you haven’t), and start writing…or browsing for smutty inspiration in our collection of hundreds of erotic fantasy freebies, of course!

Fetish Acceptance: Taking the Worse with the Bad

I saw and shared an exchange on Tumblr a little while ago in which a young woman reblogged a dominant’s fantasy guide for training submissives into eating disorders to keep them thin.

Cue the outcry: “Girls, don’t fuck up your health,” “Don’t fuck with the heads of impressionable teens,” etc:

I love how he manages righteous indignation while simultaneously admitting that he holds the ridiculous beauty standards that are driving her fantasies.

Don’t you love how he manages righteous indignation while blithely (and crudely) espousing the ridiculous beauty standards that are driving her fantasy? He talks so loud because the cognitive dissonance is so deafening…

Now, for most of us, I assume the idea of controlling another person’s diet at all would be seen as the stuff of abusive relationships. Doing so with the deliberate goal of causing physical and psychological harm? That’s absolutely something we respond to with social opprobrium, and that’s a good thing!

But context is everything. This conversation was occurring on a Tumblr devoted to extreme female submission themes, at the request of a woman whose fantasies center around being trained and changed into a mindless sexual object, and whose readers seem to love the hell out of that idea. Until, somehow, it involves unhealthy eating habits.

Which, like…guys, you’re sitting there holding your dicks and cheering when she does the whole “tee hee, I should be studying for class but I’m just sitting here watching porn and edging my wet little pussy” thing, but suddenly “OMG I want to be starved thin” is too much for you?

It’s the same fantasy. It’s the same idea. Same stuff as the bleached hair/bolt-on tits “look what a bimbo I’ve become for you” schtick; the “fuck me rough until I think abusive sex is normal” posts. This is someone who gets off on the idea of deliberately making “unhealthy” choices and prioritizing sexual gratification over other life goals to an exaggerated extreme (and who clearly likes having an audience for that process).

Not exactly an uncommon subject in erotica, I assure you.

Not exactly an uncommon subject in erotica, I assure you.

And you know what? It’s okay to find that stuff hot! A lot of people get off on the idea of extreme transformations, mental and physical, and the idea that the person being transformed somehow can’t help themselves — either because it’s forced through bondage, law, or brainwashing, or because they’re just such a natural inferior that they’re helpless to resist social conditioning — is often a big part of that fantasy. And yes, some people do live it out, in greater or smaller ways, by altering their appearance or their behavior or their lifestyle to more closely match their fantasies.

I would encourage anyone who looks at sexual fantasies or discussions and thinks “that’s a bridge too far!” to very closely examine what they think isn’t a bridge too far, and see if it’s actually all that different. Because in this case (and in many I’ve seen) it’s less a matter of separating the “good” fantasies from the “bad” fantasies, and more of not realizing that the “bad” fantasy is just a slightly more extreme version of shit you get off on, taken to a logical extension.

I don’t love the idea of an eating disorder fantasy. But I do see how it ties into the same theme of prioritizing your looks/sexualization over what we think of as mainstream “healthy” goals, and that’s a very common fantasy for both men and women (the men usually observing/controlling the transformation; the women usually undergoing it). If you like the idea of training your slutty slut-slut to wear high heels and giggle a lot, you probably don’t have a lot of moral high ground for shying away when she talks about puking herself thin so she’s a twiggier fuckstick. Same fantasy; crazier exaggeration.

TLDR: Stroke happy, children, and don’t hate on others for doing it too.

Can a holy angel of Heaven tempt one of Lucifer’s fallen back to righteousness? Even if it were possible, hot and heavy pegging probably wouldn’t be the way to go about it…but that won’t stop one angelic beauty from trying!

Darknest AnthologySo goes the blurb for my contribution to Darknest: A Dark Fantasy Anthology, a collection of seven fantastic stories from some of the best erotic fantasy authors out there. It’s just $0.99 on Amazon, today and all next month.

As an added feel-good bonus (and you’ll already be feeling good, believe you me), the sales from this one don’t go toward personal profit. All us authors contributed our work toward the maintenance of the Darknest Fantasy Erotica community, a long-running forum and web home for erotic fantasy artists and fans.

So come drop a buck on some high quality erotic fantasy (my own contribution features angelic femdom, pegging, and more), and support a community of talented artists, amateurs, and fans while you’re at it. Details on the stories from the bundle follow:
