hello everyone, I am new here and haven't read all 239 message above me yet... ^^
I HATE when I read "condom" in m/m stories!
it's fiction and fantasy, just put a "safe sex" warning message at the beginning... =)

I just deleted an entire rant on the whole readership being our morality police thing (you're welcome) and will instead just say, "agreed."
I just had an epiphany! We need to get Hector and Aves to meet! What do you think everybody?As for the graphic sex in m/m romance books, I'm of the "the more, the better" school of thought. In the hands of a good writer, a sex scene can be transcendental. What kills me is the writers who describe sex as "tab A into slot B" kind of stuff. Ugh! Not to mention the euphemisms and purple prose. Hate it!
I recently read an m/m romance where the writer, for reasons beyond comprehension, kept referring to the penis as "pecker." O_o It's okay during normal circumstances, particularly among young people, but DO NOT use that word during a sex scene! It is more commonly used by kids, and brings bad, bad connotations when used during sex.
A well-written romance should allow plenty of opportunity to include lots of hot, raw, passionate sex and a few scenes of romantic, gentle, loving sex. Sprinkled with some fun and irreverent sex in between.

I hate it when the writer is a weird obsessive compulsive neat freak and has to have the guy tie off the condom and put it in the trash after using it. They really think we want to read about that?

It's a magnificent idea! You need to post it in the Post Complaints Here section so everybody (especially Aves and Hector) sees it!
Brava! Brilliant!

Fangtasia is right. Aves is funny, sexy, athletic, smart, really, really cute with a great body. He is a US citizen of Asian heritage who grew up in Lagos, Nigeria among other places and works as a in captain flying passenger jets all over the US but when he has the chance he drops by here and makes everyone laugh with his great sense of humor. Do you mind that he's not tall? He is fit and muscular and has the a beautiful and powerful bubble butt that would really rock your world~!

I'd have a sex change for Aves... He's gorgeous, very nice bod and is definitely a little minx in the naughty department .... And he can ' flounce ' with the best of them as we know from his exploits ... What more could you want? Look at that cheeky little smile, oooooooh how can anyone resist that?
I dont mind if Aves is interested to know me more :) He and I have some things in common. I just hope he doesn't mind the fact I'm not in US. I have never seen Aves here though. When does he usually come? :)

I would love to introduce Aves to some of my Naija broddas (Nigerian brothers). I think he would be perfect for one or two of them and such a lovely match. *sigh*
Aves if you are coming down to London any time soon let me know!! Then I can get my match making groove on too :)

Aves is usually around all the time but right now he is studying for an important test.

Well, I'll certainly stick around ^_^ I'm sure he'll be surprised when he returns and read this topic :D

I don't think he will be too surprised. I sent him an email and told him about it :-) Of course I have no idea where he is at the moment since Captain Aves is probably at an airport or somewhere in the sky between airports.

Hector, there's little I can say about Aves that wasn't covered in Lucas's post #247, but I would like to stress this: he has a magnificent mind and a wicked sense of humor. I've found these two are usually the deciding factors in determining compatibility.
We appreciate Aves very much, and would like to see him happy. I hope you two, at least, become very good friends.
Fantasia wrote: he has a magnificent mind and a wicked sense of humor."
He also has a magnificent sense of humor and a wicked mind. Fangtasia is right abut compatibility. Anyone with Aves as a partner would never be bored. If I wasn't already engaged, I'd be courting Aves because life would be always be interesting with him.

I'll certainly like him :) and am certainly very open to other possibilities (wink wink). Let's just say in my current age - 33, I really want to feel real love with another man. And to end my 4 years sexual abstinence (last time I had sex, I had aids scare) - but I still watch porn and write erotica :)
Hector stood on the edge of the airfield clutching his copy of ' Whip Me Daddy' that he had been asked to carry as identification until he met the man of his dreams. His silky brown hair blew across his handsome forehead and his steely jutting square jawline quivered in anticipation as the huge throbbing engines of the sleek silver 747 brought the pulsing machine closer to the runway. Thump, thump thump went the strings of his heart, that really should have been going twang twang twang but that wouldn't sound half as romantic.Clutching the book to his manly ripped chest, that sat above his perfect 20 pack- honed to perfection whilst pumping iron religiously at his local gym he had left it peeping seductively through the black silk shirt he had chosen for the occasion. Excitedly, .he stepped into the planes path, waving his hands and ' Whip MeDaddy', with its risqué cover of a partially leather clad whip wielding reject from the village people complete with leather cap and moustache.
It was no good, he could wait no longer but suddenly he realised the danger he was in and fleetingly regretted not waiting in the airport bar where he had originally arranged to meet his possible true love. Squeezing his violet blue grey with a hint of emerald green brown eyes tightly shut he waited to be flattened by the oncoming mass of hot, pulsating, throbbing metal! Suddenly he heard a squeal of brakes, opening his eyes he was met with a vision of Asian loveliness in full captains uniform prowling across the runway with heat in his turquoise brown with a hint of grey with ochre tints on a base of blue black eyes and the stealth of a jungle cat stalking its prey! He tried not to blink for fear of blowing his prospective lover away with his 20 foot long sooty black lashes that could start a hurricane off the coast of Florida ( sorry Danni, had to use it!) and watched hungrily as Aves roughly loosened his tie inadvertently popping all the buttons from his smart pilots shirt, baring a magnificent set of abs and a taut silky stomach just waiting to be explored!
As he slunk towards him, Hector felt his mouth go dry with passion and he discreetly placed ' Whip Me Daddy across his burgeoning groin, Oh no.... Could it be .... Yes it could.... Or it might not.... Is it.... Hang on a minute whilst I get my glasses out..... Oh god Ive left them in the lounge...... Have I time to go get them.... Crap it would take too long.... Just squint.... YES, it was him! Carrying a copy of " Fetch Me The Ball Gag " sequel to' Whip Me Daddy" was his intended blind date and buddy with benefits. Aves! The pilot with the physique of a god and the smile that could drop a straight man in his tracks and turn him to the love that dare not speak its name in seconds.... And many straight men could attest to that!
That little bundle of sex on legs was fast - yet still sinuously - approaching and Hector felt a swoon overtake him. As he fell to the Tarmac in what seemed like slow motion he felt a pair of strong arms clasp him tightly, stopping him from hitting the ground like a sack of wet spuds. " Oooh you're so strong " Hector whispered. " Its my ballet training" purred Aves as he slanted his lush and sexy mouth over Hector's glistening lips that he had been licking lustily in anticipation of the snog of the century.
" You're room or mine " ............. To be continued!
LMAO *bows to Macky* Fetch me The Ball Gag? Too good. What a wonderful prompt you had to work with. Can't wait to see how the real deal unfolds, as well as your clever Smutlandia Containing-Various-Things-We-Hate-In-MM version. :D
Seriously Hector and Aves. Please don't think I'm making fun of you, I'm spoofing the m/m romance, its just my daft sense of humour.I love all you guys and would hate to think Ive upset anyone. :D feel free to complain and get me in trouble with Lucas if you want revenge! :)

Your story was sooo beautiful Macky. I was in tears. Oh to think just how rapturous it will be when Hector's violet blue grey with a hint of emerald green brown eyes see the athletic ballet butt and pilots his own fuselage for the runway.

My harlequin gangsta muse is seeing " The Big Misunderstanding" on the horizon... This must be addressed before the beautiful Happy Ever After! There are bumpy fasten your seatbelt moments with no free peanuts and a lack of those little bottles of booze. There may also be a mile high moment but I'm not sure yet... The lock on the bathroom door is faulty and its not Aves in there with Hector!!!!!! Damn that handsome male steward with the moccachoccachoccca with a hint of latte and green tea eyes! Offering his slutty duty free perfume with the hint of male sweat as its base note going through the middle note of old spice and finally settling into that hint of after sex on a warm afternoon........
I love it! I did wish I had such body and such eyes ^_^ I can nvr picture myself writing with such vocabulary, though lol Continuation pls! Will it gets fiery hot? :D
Btw does anyone that I'm a bottom? :p Although I believe I can b vers for my future bf if we really have connection.

That was hilarious! Aves is going to love being one of the MCs in a story. Macky, please, keep going, can't wait to read the next installment.Hector, the more you say, the more I think you and Aves have in common.
Ooooh, this is going to be so good!
Wait, wait! Aves handed in his "strictly bottom" card a long time ago!I seem to remember that he posted something like that here some time ago. Something about a nicely hung guy whose attributes in that regard went to waste because he was a complete bottom. Aves, good guy that he is, stepped up to the challenge and thus became versatile.
They both might have a strong preference but nothing is set in stone, guys! Let's allow the guys to negotiate and decide, please.

Oookay! Another episode will be airing at a complaints department near you soon! Watch this space! :)
Not to give our endings away but hubby and I are both natural bottoms and we've been together for 16 years.I think we need to hack into Love Is In Bound and post this post.
Macky, you're stealing all my thunder in the m/m spooge I mean spoof genre right now. Drat. Well, no matter, my guy still accessorizes in mochamocha with a hint of chinospresso. So nya.

Macky, you're steali..."
Yeah!!! There is hope! Can't wait to check back to see the next episode.
Hector left reeling by Aves kiss of lusciousness, shyly lifted his heavy lashes that where not only fanning themselves across his knife sharp cheekbones but where also covering all his body, all of Aves and the front of the still pulsing throbbing sleek silver bullet of speed.... The 747 that had winged his possible After struggling to free themselves from his sooty black curtains, Aves finally took it upon himself to whip out his weapon - a finely forged dagger from the heart of deepest Africa used in the love rituals of the pullmy pecka Pygmy tribe - to sadly trim those sooty curtains back to a manageable length.
" there my love" he murmured softly " now you will only be able to whip up a warm mistral but sacrifices must be made if I am to be able to gaze into those violet blue grey with a hint of emerald green brown eyes of yours you hunk of burning love!"
Hector, now able to see the beautiful visage of his little Aisan love puppy, hitched his breath and reached up to clasp Aves face in his hands.
" Take me, take me now. I am putty in your ballet trained arms you sweet little cadburys Smartie.... Oh I could just gobble you
Aves grasped Hectors shirt and pulled him close " God, you're driving me crazy, come, come, come " he stuttered " away with me, into the clouds... Just you, me and the rest of the crew and passengers until we get to Atlanta where we can drop them off and then I'll fly you to the moon and back again my little piccalilli Bon Bon! "
" there's just one thing before we go booboo"
"Yes" hector held his breath, this sounded serious....
" you do know I only.... I'm really a.... I don't like heights...how do I say this....what's the opposite of top?"
Hector gasped in a tormented gaspy way and wailed " Noooooooooooooo its not true..... Don't say it........ Its a lie...... You're having a laugh...... Not a .......,"
Aves placed his hand to his forehead and sobbed " I'm bejiggered and discombobulated .... Are you a bottom too? Our love is doomed, where do we go from here? "
To be continued......

We could co author under the name 'Goeacky' ! I need you to sort out the two bottom problem... You are obviously the Guru!!
After consulting with Macky I set up a Folder for Member Stories and Serials and the first member to have a section here Mistress Macky. I will be up to Macky whether to start fresh there or copy stuff from here and from the General Discussions and paste them into her section(s).
If the big G. or any other of you creative types want to have sections there we can add them under your name or pen name(s).
So let me know if you want to post stories there.
Also please give Macky some time to get organized and figure out how and where to continue her story in progress and her previous masterpieces.
I hope more people will see and enjoy the stories in the new section.

No. The stories do not have to be related to a complaint at all. They can be about a complaint if you choose to do that of course. It's all up to the writer what goes in her or his section.

I tend to think Aves is versatile too. Preferentially a bottom, but can top in a pinch.

Considering our last lunch with him giggling into his hand over the handsome surfer dude at the next table, practically peeing in his pants over him. I'm having a wee bit of trouble picturing him being so Hetero Macho Manly etc...to Hector's nymphishness on the Tarmac. I'm not sayin impossible, but....I'm just sayin.
Goesta, just what, in the name of heaven, have you been drinking?Your posts normally make my brain exercise, I have to read carefully (and sometimes twice) what you write in order to understand and get full enjoyment out of it.
But I'm sorry to say I did not understand anything of your last two posts. O_o
