All right, lovelies. What a day!
But for those interested in the #Zine, we have SO many ways to contribute now. Hopefully one of these will inspire something in you!
For Issue #2, we'll have a special section for #Ekphrasis: art and writing inspired by one of the two images below. Other inspired content welcome, too!
For Issue #3, we have a SPLIT between #Limerence (obsessive infatuation) and #CoSoAfterDark (naughty, saucy bits!). When these two meet in the middle, will sparks fly? We'll see!

You know you wanna. :)
Here's a possible something for #3...
The two of us
sprawled on a big bed
like kids on a raft
a million miles
from husbands
from best friends
from Big Ben
ticking time
on the nightstand.
I chortled like a dirty (stereotypical) Frenchman!
Why, there's a whole story of intrigue and affairs packed into these few lines!
Well done, Ceorl. :)
I've been watching some old French movies lately, loving the casual and guiltless infidelities.
Such a delightful contrast to my own puritanical programming.
It's extraordinary how much time and wonderful living we lose just trying to get out of our initial programming, no? Puritanism is surely the world's most deviously constructed brassiere.
Ok, inspired by the photo, My entry for abZurd #2 is:
An encounter at the tram station.

(Feel Free to Edit if needed)
and for abZurd #3 a very short poem:
A ten am samba.
The sun warming the bed.
I wake inside you.
One skin stretched over two bodies.
Lizards doing push-ups,
To cool ourselves off.
~ me
Oh, that poem has powerful Richard Brautigan vibes. :)
Do you know this one?

The Beautiful Poem
I go to bed in Los Angeles thinking
about you.
Pissing a few moments ago
I looked down at my penis
affectionately.
Knowing it has been inside
you twice today makes me
feel beautiful.

No I don't remember that one.
Yet it is good !
So is yours!
#Zine ...And I suppose I should be clear... ๐คจ
I'm trusting everyone to be responsible when sending smutty tales and erotic art for #CoSoAfterDark. We'll be looking for seductive and saucy but not full-frontal. And when it comes to the stories and poems, hot-to-trot tension tends to do better than "throbbing ๐s" and "aching ๐s" every other line.
Have fun with it! ๐
But remember that the brain is the sexiest organ, and can fill in whatever tight little narrative holes you give it to work with!
