ABOUT THE READERS:
Yves Darling is the erotica pen name of yves. (EEVZ-dot), undead author of much queer and Jewish speculative fiction. As yves. they are the author of the short story collection Something’s Not Right and much free short fiction available on their website, including the erotic novelettes “Long Line” and “Band Girls.” Visit their haunt at yvesdotbooks.com.
ShifuPlay is a creative and shibari enthusiast that desires nothing more than to express her undisclosed wishes, wants and words with the world. Shifu is an IT professional and novice social media still graphic creator in her vanilla life and a poet and neophyte erotic short story/novella writer in her spare time. She desires to create and curate quality content that shows diversity by showcasing the beauty and sensuality of African American women and men in kink.
Vidaliko would not have picked up the pen to write for a public audience without a nudge. No, not previous partners telling him that they had found Vidaliko’s diary and had gotten off on reading his accounts of their intimacy. It took a dear friend telling Vidaliko that he could have a future in writing smut. Vidaliko has enjoyed learning from Sinclair Sexsmith and will likely take their Writing Spicy course at least once more to improve his writing for the hallowed halls of A03.
Luna Le Cuir has kept diaries all her life and has been actively involved with the leather community since 2004. In sixth grade, she won a district-wide poetry contest, and she held a bootblack title in 2011, and continues to shine leathers at conferences and leather bars. She explores all kinds of kinky debauchery, from mindfuckery to gentle nurturing, and her velvety voice has captivated all kinds of submissives and dominants. She lives in the pacific northwest.
TOBI HILL-MEYER is an Indigenous Chicana trans woman. She believes creating stories is a critical part of making change, they can give us strength, model paths to success, provide encouragement, and create greater empathy. She is dedicated to community support and fighting for positive change at a local level. Tobi’s work has been in Best Lesbian Erotica, Ask: Building Consent Culture, Trans Bodies Trans Selves, Take Me There, Beyond Binary, Coming Out Like a Porn Star, and Girl Sex 101. She is editor of the Lambda Literary Finalist anthology Nerve Endings: The New Trans Erotic, author of children’s books A Princess of Great Daring and Super Power Baby Shower, and director of the award winning erotic documentary series Doing it Online. tobihillmeyer.com
TJ (they/them) is a biracial brat with a knack for fusing the erotic with the wholesome. They invite viewers into their illustrations: playful vignettes and comics that subvert the heaviness of purity culture and shame. You can find them and more of their work on Instagram @aluminumbrat
Mr Loving Words is a hopeful romantic born out of the depths of longing and tears of the forgotten dream. As a master of metaphor he delights in performing the erotic aural listeners come for. He loves to submit spicy words between clean sheets that leave even the dirtiest minds, hot, wet, and begging for more.
Rose Knottyrotica is a Black, kinky, lesbian erotica writer. She is an academic by day and kinky gardener, cat mom, and crafter by night. Her greatest hope is to make you come and she believes that pleasure is the ultimate celebration of both Black and queer liberation.
Lola Rosé (she/her) is a Black, queer femme storyteller, sensualist, and rope bunny who is currently living and loving in the DMV. Lola writes about Black kink, Black love, and Black sensuality. She was previously published in the Spring 2023 issue of Womanly Magazine. In her spare time, she collects vinyl records, takes care of her plants, practices yoga, gags over fashion, and shares consensual cuddles with her friends and lovers.
