Bad news

The shortlist for the Erotic Awards came out today. Cliterati isn't on it. The web shortlist is the Erotica Readers and Writers Association, Lavalush and Sally's Site.

Not happy - really thought we were in with a good chance. After all, we are one of the only sex sites out there targeting women and going from nothing to getting half a million pages in a year (and only spending £300) is a pretty big achievement. Was really hoping we'd get through - would have made all the nights staying up till 4am over the last year worth it. And it's one of the only awards that we can enter the site for; most website awards don't allow adult sites to enter.

On the plus side, we still get loads of letters through from people saying that we've improved their sex life which I guess is more important. And the traffic is growing every month.

Still sad though. I wanted that award. But congratulations to everyone who did get through.
