Million Writers: Carabosse

I’m not sure what the Million Writers policy is about “dirty stories”. This story, published in the August 30, 2005, edition of Clean Sheets, certainly is a “dirty story” in some ways, though after reading Ian McEwan’s two story collections–”First Love, Last Rites” and “Between the Sheets”–I’d say it’s also rather tame.

The story came to me before the “dirty” aspects, but the “dirty” aspects were so integral to the story that it really didn’t belong in a general literary journal. But Clean Sheets is different from the “dirty story” sites that are all over the internet; it’s a thoughtfully-edited, well-written journal that happens to be about sex.

So if you’re feeling a little adventurous, take a peek at Carabosse; it might be a little something to shake up the Million Writers award. (WARNING: this a definite work-unsafe, adult-readers-only link.)
