Full disclosure: this is the second time in my life I’ve written a piece with this title. The first was when I was 20 and writing for the student newspaper at my university. I was single and bitter about it, but having been a romantic since my early days, I wanted to mark the occasion.…

I rarely get called [real name]. I don’t know why, but it has always been the case. Even my parents don’t call me by my name. My mother has been calling me “chicken,” for as long as I can remember. Other people close to me call me a variety of nicknames. It may be because…

Recently, VA Benji2049 voiced the male character in my audio “Dreaming of You.” He asked if he could feature the audio on his podcast, Benji’s Erotica and ASMR, and I was so pleased to say yes. I really enjoy listening to Benji’s podcast. He talks a little bit about his writing process, the topic or…

Lately I’ve been describing myself as a “vanilla” creator, and I can feel the apology in the description. “You might find my work a bit boring,” I’m implying, “but that’s what I do.” I’d like to take that back. I have been around the erotic audio and Lit community for a while now. In that…

CW: diet culture talk I think of it like armour. It’s heavy, and cumbersome, but I wear it to protect me. When I can finally take it off, I’m tired. I recently spent time with an old friend. I love her. She’s been so wonderful to me during a hard time. She encourages me. She…

It’s my birthday week. Yes, I’m a Leo. Big surprise! Many years ago, I hated to have people acknowledge my birthday. I was worried about the attention. I both craved it and feared that it wouldn’t feel like enough. I think I’ve learned that I was worried no one would remember or care about my…

When I was interviewed on a podcast a few months ago, the podcaster asked me “why do you write erotica? You could write about anything.” He had been complimenting me on my writing. Erotica and erotic audio were new to him and he was surprised at the quality of work he had encountered (I think…

I was driving for a couple of hours recently and a song came on my shuffle: “Delicate” by Damien Rice. It’s a slow, sweet song about how tender – delicate – a new relationship can be, how the two people take things slowly and quietly. There’s a question in the chorus about what it all might…

I’m a spicy creator and I’m used to talking about and thinking about sex. But it wasn’t always that way. As the child of Boomer parents, I grew up knowing what sex was, but having very few conversations with my parents about it. My dad was an early adopter, so had to own a Laserdisk…

Having a persona that creates sexy material is fun. It just is. It’s a chance to play and explore and take risks that my [real name] self can’t do as easily. Pretty Lynne can flirt, joke around, talk openly about sex, and express a part of my personality that is developing and changing at this…
