I recently received an email from a fan at another site asking why I didn't publish my work in a manner where I could be paid for my talent. He told me what a wonderful writer I am (which he had several times before) how with just a little bit of effort and perhaps a good editor my stories would be commercially viable.
I don't believe that statement looking at votes here I certainly don't think he knows what he is talking about. I do score much higher at the other sites and I'm not sure why.
Well doesn't that just sound fantastic? My con sensor went off right away and I told him politely "I'm not interested in that." I have seen them the self-publish book sites for on-demand sales on all the favorite books stores and online sites. You only pay them XXXX.XX amount of bucks and they do all this wonderful crap for you. I explained to him I didn't have the funds for such an endeavor.
He replied that it wouldn't cost me anything to publish online at a site called Smashwords and gave me the link. Against my better judgment, I checked out the site and realized this was where my author friend published his digital version of stories. I read their rules and quickly realized that no my stories weren't acceptable for the site. Then I thought I could write stories that are acceptable though and publish there. Surely I can tone down sex and violence or at least put a lot of other story in between the sex and violence.
Then I thought about it and decided I didn't desire to do that either. First, I know that I'm not that good a writer. Second, I am perfectly content to write and publish at the three sites I use and not receive money for the work. I'm not writing to make money. I have a life and I have a past life and don't want either picked over by adoring fans or malicious individuals with some vindictive agenda. I don't wish to be a famous anyone I enjoy revealing what I do here or to individuals in just what amount I chose. I certainly wouldn't fancy being an in print author having to hawk my books on talk shows and risk the ridicule of my past being paraded before me on one of them.
I have friends now that know nothing of my past and even being on this site or the other two, runs the risk they might find out. I'm just not that brave.
So here is my second go at Cuckold story. A man must convince his wife to have sex with one of his clients in front of him. If he can't do this he will lose his job, he is successful he keeps his job but can he keep his wife. Either way does he win or lose?
Let me know what you think!

To say I'm disappointed in the reaction to Dude, Never Again is an understatement. I was uncomfortable writing it, I never was happy with the story and I had no idea how to fix it. I don't know why I had such trouble writing about a wimp. I have known plenty some are quite likable. Some are terrible and hard to like.
This wasn't my story it was told to me by a friend and I wrote it from a situation he proposed. It isn't a true story it was one of those what if this happens? That doesn't excuse how bad it must be to have the terrible low score. I don't expect to have high scores but to have one this low is a very humbling experience.
The logical thing to do is to abandon the Cuckold type of story. I guess I am not a rational person - I have started another cuckold story and plan to finish it soon. Hopefully, I will finish today. I don't know if I have righted the ship or not. Let me know what you think when I get it posted - better or worse?
AJ caught a mistake and pointed it out. I have fixed it and re-upped the story In a Drunken Rage Way to go AJ
Okay here is a story I wrote for a friend - not one of the Millie Zone stories but just for a friend. I refined it from what I wrote originally and present it here for you to see. It is about Gay rape so it won't be up everyone's alley (no pun intended.)
I call it In A Drunken Rage I wrote from what my friend said happened. He was a male prostitute I knew when I worked the streets. According to him he lost his ass virginity. Again, this is according to him.
