I wish I had the organizational skills to participate in e(Lust), but I can’t keep track of what I’m supposed to do and sometimes I just don’t write enough to keep up with the weekly requirements (although I’ve written my share of funny sex stories).

Also, I do think you may have created a certain expectation of participants with a name like e(Lust), and I can understand why non-”adult” bloggers would be reluctant to participate and link to some of the more intense adult blogs. I don’t know how to remedy that, though.

Lilly, you’re doing a fantastic job. Stick with your vision and your parameters and let the rest settle out. You do have a lot of fans and supporters and we’re gonna stick with you.

For what its worth I think you’ve done a great job. I’ve enjoyed reading many of the stories and articles from the first two editions and am already looking forward to the third.

New writers and diversity in stories and types will come with time so hang in there. It looks like many of the people participating are doing a great job of promoting it for you which says a lot about how much your efforts are appreciated.

Keep up the great work.

And oftentimes, you can’t even please most of the people some of the time!

Personally, I think you’re doing a great job with e[lust]. My advice? Keep doing what you’re doing and the audience will come. I don’t think that any of my writing will ever be selected as one of the top 3 posts for a given edition (I’m realistic about my erotic-writing skills), that doesn’t mean I’ll stop participating when I feel like I have something to contribute.

~ I gotta be honest with you, I don’t see why one of your Swing Shift posts has no shot of Top 3 of Editor’s Choice – Like I said this is only the second edition and I see a lot of evolution still to come because I don’t want the Top 3′s to always be erotica. I don’t think you should discount the possibility ;)

“As an aside, any html gurus out there care to mentor me on the formatting and re-posting of the code from blog to blog and why the FUCK I’m having issues with it?”

What are the issues?
