I DID IT!

[vulgarweed]

evadare_volney (who is me in another dimension) just submitted 7900 words of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea smut to Circlet Press for their open-call Jules Verne anthology.

It’s Aronnax/Conseil/Nemo. There is D/s power-jockeying and a steampunk tentacle fucking machine involved. And yes, it’s called “Poulp Friction” and I’m not even sorry *dodges rotten molluscs.*

So apparently I CAN make a deadline once in a blue moon!

Wow! I noticed that call for submissions, which I thought was a great idea, but I never thought seriously of submitting because I only read the book once ages ago. 7600 is a lot of words, they must have a flexible word limit!

That title is amazing. I hope it gets in because it sounds like reason enough to buy the whole anthology.

Yeah, I went for it! 8,000 is their max - I'm living on the edge here. In my defense, there are two explicit scenes, and one of them is a threeway involving bondage and a steampunk sex machine with tentacles, so that takes a lot of words. I don't think I'm cheating them on the porn. :)

Yay you \o/ Steampunk tentacle fucking machine sounds like something that every smutty steampunk novel should have.

Especially one set on a submarine. I mean, how could I not?

Well, I'll be buying that then! Mmm, steampunk porn!

Well, I still have to wait and bite my nails to see if they want it or not! Wish me luck. (Even if they don't, I'm sure I'll find something else to do with it. But I want it an anthology!)

Best of luck, absolutely! But who could resist? Of course you'll make it in!
