LITEROTICA

**Coming Together** has its roots in the LiteroticaAuthors' Hangout, a forum for erotica writers.

The original Coming Together eroticists are:

1. 4degrees is an 18-year-old oversexed gay boy trapped in the body of a 35-year-old female. Don't believe anything he says. He's also a pathological liar and cyber-slut extraordinaire. He is currently typing absurdities at his computer. His influences include Carlton Mellick III and neonurotic.
2. ABSTRUSE (a/k/a Blackie Malone) is a fledgling writer of fiction and a lover of words. She can admit that without being facetious. Anyone who reads or writes may feel the same way because they too share that love of literature and the wonderment of a human mind that can interweave thoughts and dreams into new worlds that welcome us with open arms.
3. Alex De Kok is an incurable romantic who writes erotica for fun. He started writing erotic fiction because he enjoys reading it and hadn’t found much that was good. Whether his is any better is for the readers to say, but he’s encouraged by the feedback he’s received so far.
4. angelicminx is a free-spirited author living in the world of sexual fantasy and intrigue. A confounding mix of innocence and seductress, she enjoys arousing the mind to hidden pleasures. Her characters explore love and lust as they go hand-in-hand through life, unbound by the confines of social acceptance.

10. bluerains is a writer of various topics, from science fiction, metaphysical, zen, to learning the art of erotic fiction. She loves to be on the water, watching the sea life and birds, and is most inspired by poets like Kilbran, Rumi, and Anais Nin. Her greatest goal is to write words to inspire those who thirst for the eclectic and exotic.
11. BooMerengue (R.I.P.) is a writer who is not necessarily talented, but has a lucky turn of phrase now and then. She lives in Tennessee most of the time but travels to new places whenever possible. Her interests are legion, and she spends most of her free time exploring new places and new ideas. She’s also very busy learning to age gracefully. When she is reincarnated she wants to be a giraffe or a seahorse or a National Geographic photographer. In that order.
12. Boxlicker101 (a/k/a George Box) is a prolific writer of jokes told in rhyme and meter and of smutty stories that are utterly lacking in social value. He lives in California and, although a happily married grandfather who loves his wife, is envious of those who cavort and carouse in his literary efforts.
13. cantdog (a/k/a Dave Edgar) creates posters in silkscreen and cut paper, designs t-shirts, and does calligraphy. Illustration is new to him. Born and raised in Maine, he is a retired firefighter. “Pornography?” he says, “I don’t even own a pornograph.”

20. Colleen Thomas (R.I.P.) is 35, single, lives in New York, and is recently unemployed. She has been diagnosed with chronic migraines, severe depression, social anxiety disorder, and just recently agoraphobia. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to guess that she doesn’t get out much any more. Writing is her escape.

58. Quiet\_Cool is currently 28 years old and was born and raised in Western Pennsylvania, where he lives still. Quiet and reserved (usually, at least) Q\_C finds real life less interesting than those in his head, and spends far too much time reading, writing, and doping off.

66. Rumple Foreskin (a/k/a Jess Malarkey) is just another run down, beaten down, slapped down, broken down, shot down, hung down, put down, and kicked around old porn writer who’s been beaten up, tied up, chewed up, blown up, hung up, screwed up, messed up, held up, and told to shut the fuck up.
