Well-Written Filth - the thread for the newly-beKindled

[NatureAbhorsAHoover]

Any suggestions please for she who shall no longer be judged by DH on the tube for her choice of sexy racy things to read

But must be well-written!

Oh no...I downloaded a Shayla Black. It's hilarious! Absolutely awful in soooooo many ways. I skim read it. At least it was cheap.
I'm going to write my own.

Anxious do give 'Kushiel's Dart' (first in a series) a try. And show us what you write as well!

Can't believe the recommendations for the Fifty Shades books in a thread on good writing - hell, I didn't even like them as Twific. Like Twilight, they tell you waaaay too much detail - I don't mean the filthy stuff, but in between - the restaurant napkins, and the heroine's apartment furniture, and - oh, just shoot me now. I know others have been pleased. But not me. And could the author please just accept her kink and drop the angst?

But is there any Buffy/Spike still out there????

Just back from a lovely holiday where I was positively GLUED to my kindle... I did actually read some proper books like the good Guardianista that I am... but I also read some lovely escapist filth and wanted to thank some of you:

almostfifty I finally caved in and read 50 shades of grey - and loved it! Yes some of the writing is a bit trite, but there's a degree of wit (her inner goddess jumping the gun constantly and her subconscious looking askance over half-moon specs) that I didn't expect, and it charmed me. I also like that they talked straight with each other and didn't do that tiresome willful- misunderstanding plot device that ruins so many romances for me.

bellabear and coffee you talked me into it and you are are quite right, the bhrhrotherhood are alhrhright once you get past the spelling. I was again charmed, and I really enjoyed it - thanks.

omicron I'm coming to loiter (again) on TSA and I WANT some of those fic recs...

oh and lastly sieglinde go to nautibitz.com where her superlative spuffy is still there for the taking... and tell me if you find anything that makes you laugh and juice up as much as that, I'm all ears

What about Louise Bagshawe? Don't know anything about the books but heard they are raunchy.

You mean Louise Mensch? Star of the Commons Select Committee and worlds-best-gasp when Rupert Murdoch got creampied? Yes, she has written some rather naughty passages and I would love to know what was going through her mind when she was grilling James Murdoch, who is annoying as fuck but still kind of hot. She has a thing for spanking...

Now there's another thread altogether...

Yes, her! Haven't read her books but may now!

Yep, Louise Bagshawe does good filth. So does her sister, Tilly Bagshawe.

Vox by Nicholson Baker is genuinely well written, and funny.

....but not available on Kindle

What order do the fifty books go in? Thinking of getting them

Fifty shades of grey
Fifty shades darker
Fifty shades freed

Thanks

Hope you enjoy them, I did

Just finished all three and really rather liked them despite some less-than-positive opinions I've heard on MN. They are a touch funny and wry in a way that so few sexeeee romances are, and did NOT follow the typical romance formula and by god it taught me a thing or two

So, what next?

Anything by Lauren Dane (except for the witchy ones)

Which unwitchy Lauren Dane ones are best?

I'd try Laid Bare or Fire and Rain. Her naughty bits are reasonably explicit but fit well into decent stories with well drawn characters. Enjoy! If you want really naughty but well written try anything by Joey W Hill. Definitely adult content though. I'm assuming everyone has found the Ellora's Cave website for all the naughty books you could ever wish to download?

Is the brotherhood straight or slashy? I like my fanfic of the latter variety!

It's straight, bit of a shame as there's so much slashy potential!

If you do like slash, hop over to the TSA thread, we have lots & lots of recs ,

I'm just going to be bad and send you all here. Veteran MNer, honest, nice ham, friday night bumsex. Etc.

3mum I rashly went straight to Amazon and kindled up some Joey W Hill

+ + + a few

Oh. My. God.
