I have recently gotten word that I will be participating in the Circlet authors' reading at VeriCon at Harvard University on Friday the 23 of this month.

I'll be reading from my forthcoming story, The Ontological Engine, or, the Modern Leda. This will be of particular interest to anyone who has enjoyed Victim/Victorian, as Ontological Engine is something of a prequel thereunto. It may also appeal to afficionados of invertebrate-oriented erotica, as it features several flying mutant geoducks in prominent roles.

I'm really excited about this--I love reading aloud, and I've never done a public performance of my own work before. It should be a blast. I'll have the stage for about fifteen minutes, and I expect the other Circlet authors to be almost as awesome as I am.

Admission to VeriCon is $15 for non-students for just Friday, or $35 for the whole weekend.

I will also be doing a similar reading at Back Pages Books in Waltham, MA on Feb 10, but I'll nag you plenty about that when the date draws nearer.

After finishing this, I mulled for moment whether it's too slight & cliche to post, but then I was like "It's your damn blog, Vinnie. It doesn't have to all be world-class--don't be such a tight-ass." So, here's some pornographic dialogue with a cheap gimmick and some careful formatting. Those with strong consent squicks may want to skip this one.

Yacht Club 4 is now live on my site!

This was originally gonna be a croquet-themed story. In fact, the rough draft on my Palm begins with a list of potentially-lewd quotes from the croquet scene in Alice in Wonderland that I was gonna work into the text. But I wrote Vinnie waking up, which became a morning sex scene, and then that became another morning sex scene, and before I knew it I had a story's worth of smut to post. As with all of the Yacht Club series, it ain't exactly Finnegan's Wake, but I do think it manages to have its moments of funny & hot, and some nice little descriptive touches I'm pleased with.

Special thanks go to my awesome editrix & muse, who helped enormously, and is impressively hard to distract when proofreading--I wasn't sure whether to be grateful or insulted. She is invited to step forward and take a bow if she likes. Or hide under her seat if she'd rather not be associated with this thing.

Morning People is part of the Yacht Club series, which also includes Guest of Honor, Unfamiliar Customs, Shopping, and The Most Dangerous Game.

I've been working on another Yacht Club episode in the past week or so. Originally, I thought it was called A Spot of Croquet, but now it appears to be called Morning People, so now I have a substantial backlog of Yacht Club episode ideas. Further. spexappeal has alerted me to a real-world development that cries out for incorporation into that universe.

On the current project, though, I realised the other day that I'd written the second sex scene all wrong. There were too many aspects of the dynamic between the characters and the particular activites engaged in that I wanted to save for the third act of the story. So on Wednesday, I went into a local bar during Happy Hour and rewrote the entire scene over the course of a couple Old Fashioneds. I'm such a narcissist that I can't bear to just drop the old version into dev/null, so I've decided to post it here.

In addition to rough, unprotected sex with the younger sister of the protaganist's girlfriend, the following scene features no proofreading, since it was cut before I even finished the first draft. You've been warned.

Get it at http://vinnietesla.com/yacht3.html . And then let me know what you thought.

I've been working on Yacht Club, Chapter 3. I rather like the opening, so I'm gonna inflict it on you guys. Some of it may, of course change when I finally post

Write Club is a game they play on the alt.sex.stories.d Usenet group. Two contestants and a judge each pick three words, and then each contestant has three hours to write a story using all nine words. The historical archives make for very entertaining reading. In 2002, I had the privilege of judging Duel #23 between two of my favorite online sex writers--Desdmona and selenajardine.

Today I actually duelled for the first time. My opponent was Antheros; the judge is alexisinalaska. I haven't seen Antheros's story or the verdict yet.
