C Is for Conjoined Twins

In the early 2000s, I was working on a project I called The Fetish Alphabet. It was a series of flash fictions, all named for the letters of the alphabet, each letter representing a fetish. Over time, I had various of those stories published on various literary platforms. In 2003, Born Magazine published one: “C Is for Conjoined Twins.” I don’t quite recall how it worked, but the idea was the site was coupling texts by writers with multimedia creators, and the text and multimedia were combined into one cool result. My story was turned into a Flash-based (I believe) … I don’t know what to call it but artwork sounds about right … by the French artist Rolito. Thanks to the Wayback Machine, you can see the interactive, animated original story here. (This interactive work is also cited in Donna Leishman’s “The Flash Community: Implications for Post-Conceptualism.”)

More Days of Smut

Back in April, I decided I was going to write 30 flash fictions that had something to do with sex for a new project I named 30 Days of Smut. Pretty quickly, I realized I wasn’t going to complete those pieces in that time frame, so I renamed it Days of Smut and kept at it. Now I have 20 flash fictions with 10 more to go, and I’ve found this exercise to be beneficial. It’s great for silencing your critical mind and letting yourself be creative, you start doing weird things when you work within a rigid framework, and the things you can make up in your mind are pretty endless when you just keep producing. I’ll update again here when I’ve completed all 30.

Days of Smut

Awhile back, I started this mini-project called 30 Days of Smut. The idea was that I would write a short piece of smut-themed flash fiction every day for 30 days and post it on my website. That specific goal didn’t work out because I got busy, so I crossed out the 30 and the project is now Days of Smut. I’ll probably keep going until I have 30 stories and then stop. Basically, the purpose of the project is just to exercise my creative muscle. So far, I’ve introduced a dominatrix, a porn addict, an auto-cannibalist, a woodsman, and a mannequin.
