Ellipsis...

So we got this story submitted to Cliterati... it didn't contain any punctuation except ellipsis... with breathy gasps... and lots of touching... and stroking... and every time the action changed... the ellipses were there to illustrate the passion... I think I must have removed thirty... yes... thirty... of the buggers from the piece. Who is teaching people grammar these days and how come they're missing out on basic stuff like this...?

Gah! That was hard to write. But it was even more irritating having to remove them from the story. Also had to edit out the word 'clitty'; surely one of the unsexiest words ever (though 'panties', 'gusset' and 'hairy quim' are all pretty grim too)?

In other Cliterati news, had something really quite unpleasant submitted to the site. Some filthy bastard has confessed his exhibitionism, wherein he rubs his cock into erection in the shower then walks out so that his twenty-something cleaner can see it (he gives a variety of other scenarios too). Shock news, freakazoid. You're an abusive bastard. Showing your bits to someone without their permission and getting off on it makes you a nasty piece of shit. Some of those women may well have been scared. What gives you the right to get your kicks at their expense? And submitting the story of your perverted thrills to a sex site for women anonymously just makes you even more scum-like. I'm glad that I've got lots of male friends to remind me that not all men are sick fucks.
