In before the boss loved it.

>>4603743

waiting with bated breath

My boss was late to the meeting. This is not an unusual occurrence, he has a new baby and doesn't get much sleep, and we usually hold meetings in the mornings.

Most of my coworkers agreed with me on all accounts. They also thought that the book was good, but that the dragon-sex might be a problem for mainstream audiences. We continued discussing the merits of the book, possible edits, and other things like that until our boss finally came into the room.

This might sound a bit like I'm bullshitting, because his reaction was completely unexpected. He came in with the manuscript, slammed it (or, really, just placed it rather forcefully) on the table, and said "This shit is the next Game of Thrones."

Apparently, in his mind, the Fantasy genre is going to get insanely large (as if it wasn't already) in the next few years, possibly coming close to the second or third most-profitable. He briefly rambled a bit about how modern movies needed to be "big," and how fantasy was a "big genre," referring to the large scale of pretty much all fantasy novels. He thinks that this will lead to more and more fantasy movies getting made (as traditional thrillers lose the marketplace to video games, or something), which will in turn lead to more books sales. He concluded by stating that the manuscript we were reviewing was a "sure-fire shot to the top."

After he finished, I asked him why he thought the book would be so successful (carefully keeping my spaghetti in my pockets as I did so). He went off a brief list of reasons of why the book was good, most of which I already discussed in the previous thread.

Then he concluded the list with the phrase "but the key part is the dragon," and shit started to get interesting.

Holy shit this post is so poorly-written. Sorry about that, I don't really have time to properly edit since you guys are so anxious to know what happened

>>4603815
>anthro
bzzzzzt

>>4603821


>spoiler: boss is actually a closet furry.

>>4603821
>your boss wants to fuck dragons and approved the book just because of that

Called it.

>>4603821

>your boss's wife
is a dragon

>>4603821
Well I know what I'm going to be reading in the coming months. How long does it take for it to go from where it is now to on the shelves?

>>4603835
We just need the name of the book then.

>>4603835

before you can say dragon spunk three times fast

btw, 'dragon spunk' is the title we're going with for the moment

>>4603821
/tg/ here, hype has gone supercritical and is danger of breaching containment.

>>4603821
My boss believes that the dragon-fucking gives the novel a "rebellious edge," something that is sure to make it appeal to teenagers and young adults. He rambled for a really long-ass time on how the controversy would only improve sales. He even suggested that going MORE explicit might be a good idea.

I think he might be fucking crazy, but he had a lot of good points.

Anyway, he's the boss, so we're publishing it. It'll probably take a year or so to edit and prepare, but when it comes out, we're going to market it HARD. I think he's planning on diverting a big portion of our budget to it. We're going to tell the author this tomorrow.

Also, he suggested that we use viral marketing to create hype before the book releases. So I MIGHT be able to convince him to let me post excerpts here before it's out.

Note: I had no idea about the viraling thing before today. I normally hate it when companies try to do that, because it's always shitty, but I think I can let it slide if it means I can post bits for you to read. Would y'all be cool with that?

>>4603841
>>4603843
We have no idea what to title it, but I'll so post it here when we figure it out.

Also, if somebody wants to create a /tg/ thread or something, go ahead. I think they'd probably enjoy it.

>>4603846

How do we know this whole setup isn't just a really clever round of viral marketing?

>>4603846


age for bacterial marketing.

>>4603852
Does it really matter? If we get a good book out of it who cares

>>4603846

Glad to hear it.

>>4603846

>1 year

Bummer but fucking hell it's gonna be interesting how this turns out.

>>4603846
>He even suggested that going MORE explicit might be a good idea.
Oh baby.

Dude, you don't even need an organized viral marketing campaign. I know for a fact that this news is going in the next /tg/ weekend smut thread, and they're going to spread it amongst themselves and to /a/, /d/, and /vg/. It's going to go 4chan viral on it's own at the very least.

>>4603850
Bad idea right now, though. The new janitor's on a little bit of a power trip. Overt cross-board posts would probably get nuked.

>>4603846
>implying this isn't the actual viral marketing
clever clever clever

>>4603852
Doesn't matter as long as it delivers on the dragon fucking.

>>4603846
Prepare to sell billions of copies.

>>4603860
yeah, last night it got nuked in the first 30 minutes or so. Glad I caught it before then.

>>4603861
Hid right out in the open, and revealed the same way. I'm not even mad I was rused. Shit was ballsy.

>>4603852
who gives a fuck if it is, this book sounds interesting as hell

>>4603852
it would be pretty early for viral marketing if it comes out in more than a year, and I doubt anyone would remember it by then

>>4603873
>this book sounds interesting as hell

Yes. YES. Finally my fetish for romancing actually interesting looking monsters will rise to the surface of this miserably repressed culture.

>>4603873
>this book sounds interesting as hell

you have literally been told nothing except that it is "good" and it involves having sex with dragons

>>4603885
previous thread told us it was a high fantasy book about the main character trying to promote cooperation and harmony between fantasy races, and that dragon fucking is part of it.

That's enough to get me interested.

>>4603900
Your brain may be broken.

>>4603875
Yeah. He said we should start coming up with ideas to "spread the word," which he would put into action in 6 months or so.

>>4603852
>>4603871
>>4603861

I can promise you, it isn't. I had no fucking clue this was going to happen.

My boss doesn't have a fucking clue what 4chan is. He suggested Facebook pages.

>>4603919
you fucking better be suggesting a bad dragon partnership to him

>>4603919

Yeah I'm gonna tell all the people I went to highschool about this book where a guy fucks a dragon

>>4603919

Make your significant other dress up as a dragon next time you go out on a date.

>>4603846
This is a better result than I could have ever hoped for.

Your boss is a ballsy motherfucker. He may not know what the fuck 4chan is but I bet he'd fit right in around here.

>>4603933
Yeah, exactly.

Sweet mother of jeebus tell me someone saved the other thread

it's still up
>>4597274

>>4603951
It's here:

>>4597274

>>4603951
OH THANK GOD IT'S STILL HERE
I forgot how slow /lit/ is

>>4603947
I think there's a 90% chance this is going to end in disaster

>>4603846

This is too fucking good for words. It's clear what the best /lit/ thread (series) of the year award goes to.

> ctrl+f
> "dragon dildo"
> Phrase not found

>>4603965
Yeah that seems likely. But still, holy shit.
Hopefully it's the weird exciting kind of disaster rather than the dull depressing kind of disaster.

>>4603957
thanks

>>4603978
OP does the dragon fucking ever feature toys

>>4603986
If it does, you definitely need to market it on /g/.

>>4603978
we've already suggested a partnership deal with bad dragon.
Though that doesn't actually make much sense since it's a man fucking a female dragon.

>>4603993
they make fleshlights too

>>4603993
> implying most of your readers won't be dudes with a gaydragon fetish

>>4603993
plot twist the man is unable to please the dragon so in order to save their relationship he uses dragon dildos from bad dragon instead of his cock

>>4603993

Don't boyfriends cram toys into girlfriends when being romantic?

>>4604002

OH SHIT
OP'S COMPANY AND BAD DRAGON ARE BOTH GONNA MAKE A GORILLION FUCKING DOLLARS WITH THAT MARKETING SCHEME

Speaking of which, OP, do you mind telling us what the name of your publishing house is?

>>4604004
>>4604002
Where in this medieval fantasy setting is the guy going to find a life sized rubber dragon dick?

>>4603986
>>4603991
Nope.


>>4603980
Yeah. Better to burn out than fade away or whatever, right?

>>4603993
I don't think we'll go that far. In order for controversy to happen, it needs to expand beyond the kind of people who already are into dragon-bonin'.

However, if it takes off, I'd wager that BD makes a toy out of it anyway.

>>4604010
Don't think I can tell you that right now. Maybe as it comes out.

>>4604012
www.bad-dragon.com of course. Where else?

>>4604012

They have their ways. If this thing takes off as your boss predicts, there definitely needs to be a making-of movie.

>>4604015
just imagine: someday you'll be browsing 4chan and someone will post a pic of their dragon dildo and you'll be able to say "hey anon, I was part of the team that published the book that dildo came from"

>book does surprisingly well in sales and popularity
>does so well that a movie is made based off the book
>the humanXdragoness sex scene is included
>it's shot just like other sex scenes in modern movies

>>4603850
dragina monologues

>>4604015
In that case we need to collectively start thinking of ways to market this shit to a contemporary audience that may be a bit iffy about dragon fucking?

How did shit like Twilight and Eragon and Fifty shades of grey get popular?

>>4604019
>>4604023

It'd be kinda funny if either of those actually happened.

>>4604024
If there's ever a porn parody, I promise that I will purchase at least twenty copies. I'm not into dragon-sex but that shit will be too hilarious to not pass up.

>>4604032
We're planning on marketing the story based off its other merits, with maybe a small blurb about "even going so far as to pull off the ultimate betrayal of tradition in his search for the truth" or something.

>>4603846
OP so help me fucking god if all this shit is made up and a mere ruse I will fucking end you I NEED THIS.

>>4604044
Yeah, that could actually work! Pull the good old 50 Shades 'taboo' card!

I read a little about dragon erotica and I cant help but think of this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ISn1Hc2V_Y

>>4604044
I imagine subtlety is probably the way to go.
Then once people get to the draco-boning, people will be like, "Hey Janine I'm reading this cool fantasy novel and a dude totally has sex with a dragon in it!" and Janine is like, "Whoa I gotta see this!"

built-in viral marketing.

>>4604023
just go on /k/ and ask about dragon dildos..

>>4604066
In fact, women would probably eat that shit up, right?
Totally non-physical since apparently the dude didn't even like dragons in the first place. It's a purely emotional and intellectual connection.

>>4604070
holy shit, you're right!
why didn't we think of this earlier?!

Your boss may have noticed how well monster sex books had been selling on amazon by independent authors.

Had been anyway, until Amazon put a stop to them.

Example: http://www.businessinsider.com/monster-porn-amazon-crackdown-sex-fantasy-bigfoot-2013-12

I'm not how related that would be though.

>>4604072
>>4604070
I think we're going to try and market to both genders. The novel definitely isn't a romance book.

>>4603846
/tg/ here. We MIGHT have a cover for you guys.

Incidentally, it was made long before your first thread ever showed up.

>>4604085
It's perfect, aside from one small thing... the genders are backwards.

>>4604083
Right right, we're clearly getting a little too caught up in scalie vagina.

Is there anything else you can tell us about the setting or the characters?

>>4604085
While I find the art amusing, we aren't planning on explicitly marketing the dragonlovin' in the novel

>>4604085
second fa/tg/uy here:
we completely and utterly approve of liscensed dragon porn and probably will immediately demand a sequel.
especially since its pretty much confirmed your boss is a closet scalie.

>>4604090
Eh, keep it on the backburner for the inevitable Harlequin spinoff

>>4603885
how many books have you read where the MAIN CHARACTER puts his DICK into a DRAGON'S ASS?

>>4604097
>DRAGON'S ASS
Dragon's vagina.
Totally heterosexual dragon sex.

...as far as we know.

>>4604097
quite a few, actually

>>4603846
HOLY FUCK OP I TOLD YOU, I TOLD YOU!
I was the anon that told you to talk to your boss openly about and treat it objectively

>>4604015
they already have a dragon vagina http://bad-dragon.com/products/janine

>>4603743
Is your publisher on one of these two pages?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English-language_book_publishing_companies

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_English_language_small_presses

If it isn't, I doubt it's going to matter much, no offense, even with all sorts of marketing. Probably. Obviously, the former would be far more interesting, let alone one of the Big 5. That would certainly be significant.

>>4604109
I'm willing to bet money that's all gay dragon porn.

OP is probably the author and is going to the leverage the interest that OP has generated in various places to try to actually get it published, rather than self-published, in the first place.

Bravo OP.

>>4604115
but the third one is about persian folklore where ass is used for a donkey

>>4604091
Standard fantasy stuff, with a few twists I don't know if I can give away.

Characters are also fairly standard. There's the MC (who functions kind of light a Knight), a dragon (also a warrior in her country), a prince who is also a wizard (although magic works strangely in the universe), and some others.

I think it's safe to tell you that the general setting has the standard "Countries based on the race of inhabitants," but there's some differences -- The Dwarves, Elves, and Humans, for example, get along just fine and have many military and economic ties.

I don't really want to get into real detail.

>>4604111
We are on that list.

>>4604097
Not many. Anal doesn't happen in the book, though.

>>4604105
This man is right.

>>4604122
Can you tell us anything else about the book, besides the dragon fucking?

>>4604122
>we are on that list
whelp time for dragonsex to be mainstream.

>>4604122
Hmmm. Well you kept mentioning that you found it to be a legitimately good book, so I assumed there was probably something particularly novel or interesting about the setting or characters.

Though if that isn't the case then I guess it's just really well written?

>>4604134
Not really.
That is a lot of publishers. I probably shouldn't have included the second link though.

>>4604142
i'm just saying if they are gonna hype it up super hard and its a publishing company with money and actually is good at advertising this may actually have a chance to get big, especially since this is one of those topics where its probably gonna attract alot of people just to see what in the ever living fuck is going on with this book, the fact its controversial will gather huge amounts of interest because nothing compels people to read stuff then taboo whatnot,thats what made flowers in the attic, thats what made twilight, thats what made 50 shades of grey.

>>4603846
>y'all
That certainly narrows it down.

>>4604142
It's on the first list, actually. I'd say that our publishing house is medium-sized.

>>4604139
There are some interesting things about it.

The problem is, I only feel comfortable giving the generic bits. The way the society is organized is very different from most Tolkien-style stuff, as is the main conflict. I just don't feel comfortable about posting about those aspects of the story.


>>4604161
I gained the usage of y'all due to a girl I dated for a while. I myself was born in Jersey, moved to Denver when I was six, and moved to a place that is shaded red on that map after I graduated college (which is where the publishing house is built.) I have never lived in a place that would be considered "the south"

>>4604109

>Ass Dragon at the very fucking bottom of the list
My sides had not sufficiently braced themselves for this. Fuck.

>>MFW this is going to get published

ITT: OP saves a dragonfucker's book from just becoming more furry amazon filler

>>4604171
> I myself was born in Jersey, moved to Denver when I was six,

Is that you Kyle? New Jersey is still inside of you, you know

>>4604171
I'll trust your judgement then.
I'm actually a little more excited now because I really like it when authors delve into non-standard societal configurations.
Makes for especially good reading if it's well thought out and implemented.

>>4604188
Oh god

>>4604188
He deserves it. The story is insanely well-written.

I hesitate to call it "great," considering some other literary works that generally receive that title, but it's definitely very good.

>>4604196
It's actually sort of stupidly simple, and makes a hell of a lot of sense.

>>4603860
Smut thread here- we've already caught wind of it from you guys. It would certainly help our audience get a hell of a lot bigger. Some writefags are even considering trying something similar themselves (although the best stuff might not be released since it's 40k-related and the GW legal team would go into conniptions over it).

>>4604202
OP do you ever have say, Dostoevsky or McCarthy or Roth tier books come across your desk, but they are unmarketable so you say fuck em.

>>4604205
It's not actually smut. We wouldn't be publishing it if it was. It's just a damn good novel that happens to have a dragon-lovin' scene in it.

Smut is best self-published, honestly.

>>4604210
90% of the stuff I read is total garbage. Literally, some of the worst things I have ever read.

Especially my first few weeks at the company, when they had me go through the manuscripts that were being pushed on us by questionable (or non-existent) agents. I seriously considered suicide.

>>4604200

>>4604219
So none of your colleagues have found the great american novel and wept over it? Something like the rediscovery of Stoner in the Netherlands?

>>4604220
I wish I could unlearn what chakats are.

>>4604224
Nope. Those novels are pretty rare, so the chances of us seeing one are slim to none

>>4604220
How the fuck would that strap-on even work on two tuars?

>>4604229
>I wish I could unlearn what chakats are.

Unless you also quit 4chan, you'd just relearn it in a day.

>>4604230
thats pretty fucking depressing. What are the most common novels you get, fantasy and women's memoirs like on GIRLS

>>4604235
Nah, I've basically never seen them on 4chan. It's just the level of detail put into them that also happens to rub me in the weirdest way possible.

>>4604235
>mfw I just now learned what chakats are

>>4604239
Mostly horrid fantasy, sci-fi, and romance novels.

I try to not get assigned to Romance stuff as much, because I hate the genre. However, I read a lot of stuff that sounds like a bad D&D campaign, which can honestly be sort of entertaining.

>>4604248
I'm scared to google it.

>>4604219
Could you give some examples of the 'garbage' that's been handed to you. Plot lines, possibly some excerpts if that's allowed?

>>4604251
You don't have to. It's just these things >>4604220
>>4604188

>>4603931
OH GOD THIS

>>4604171
>our publishing house is medium-sized.
Okay, so you are a medium-sized publisher, I don't know whether that means as an imprint or publisher overall, that publishes YA Fantasy and the publisher in incorporated in one of the green areas on that map, probably in the New England region. Probably an imprint though. If not, then probably overexcited that this could be the BIG BREAK the company has been looking for. That or people are too excited too easily about too little.

I won't press for more than that and you probably shouldn't say any more than that.

>>4604251
Just leave it be anon. Its not something I am a better person for knowing.

>>4604256
It may just be that but reading the description is just agonizing.

Chakats are extremely social creatures, needing both physical and emotional contact regularly. Due to their empathic nature, this is frequently more intimate than most. It also means that they try to be friendly with everyone, but when crossed, can be dangerous enemies.

>>4604255
Well, lots of stories where the heroes go to slay a dragon that has taken over an ancient city.

Lots of sci-fi stories about robot uprising or a super l33t hacker fighting against a corrupt government

A couple of romance stories that were pretty much just Twilight ripoffs.

Some other stuff too, but I honestly forget most of it. Part of that may be the drinking.

>>4604264
It's not YA fantasy, really. We kinda...

Well, fuck. You're right, I can't really say more without it being obvious to somebody in the business.

>>4604268
thanks cyberpunk

>>4604268
> the heroes go to slay a dragon that has taken over an ancient city.
Tolkien and Salvatore. Though, I wouldn't be surprised if they were far more influenced by the latter.
Yes, I did just put those two together.

Someone tell me these threads are archived so we can read the book when it comes out and point to these threads.

>>4604319
If the concept makes for a good story and isn't too distracting, go for it. I can ignore factual inaccuracy or some degree of internal inconsistency if the story is good enough.

A very small degree of internal inconsistency, of course, but still, not all books have to be perfect.

>>4604251
>horrid
Do you worry that you read so much HORRID writing so often that when you read something that is decent it actually seems like it's great. if only by relative comparison or have you already developed an OBJECTIVE sense of saleability if not quality?

>>4604323
lel

>>4604503
Speaking of, do you still read books recreationally, OP?
Or do you find yourself burnt out after having to read shit for a living?

>>4604493
Leveza was the wrong name for her; she was big and strong, not light. Her bulk made her seem both male and female; her shoulders were broad but so were her hips and breasts.
She had beautiful eyes, round and black, and she was thoughtful; her heavy jaws would grind round and round as if imitating the continual motion of her mind. She always looked as if she were listening to something distant, faraway.
Like many large people, Leveza was easily embarrassed. Her mane would bristle up across the top of her head and down her spine. She was strong and soft all at once, and kind. I liked talking to her; her voice was so high and gentle, though her every gesture was blurting and forlorn.
But that voice when it went social! If Leveza saw a Cat crouching in the grass, her whinnying was sudden, fierce and irresistible. All of us would pirouette into a panic at once. Her cry was infallible.
So she was an afrirador, one of our sharpshooters, always reared up onto hindquarters to keep watch, always carrying a rifle, always herself a target. My big brave friend. Her rear buttocks grew ever more heavy from constant standing. She could walk upright like an Ancestor for a whole day. Her pelt was beautiful, her best feature, a glossy deep chestnut, no errant Ancestor reds. As rich and deep as the soil under the endless savannah.
We were groom-mates in our days of wonder.

-------------------
Been there, done that.
Geoff Ryman's "Days of Wonder" is about interspecies love among a sapient horse and cat. Also, love, life, and sex among sapient horses and other various creatures. I read it in THE YEAR'S BEST SCIENCE FICTION: TWENTY-SIX ANNUAL COLLECTION.

Also, what about Disney anthromorphs?
They are likely as anything to have caused furries to a great extent.

>>4604493
I fail to see how that is a problem. Once that shit gets passed it's only a few more short steps to get some actual beneficial genetic modifications.

>>4604122
Is Brandon Sanderson the author behind this masterwork?

I assume you can't outright say its him due to confidentiality/non-disclosure agreements. So, no reply I'll assume is you confirming it.

>>4604532
If it were Sanderson, I doubt there would be any real discussion.

It's probably the debut work of a new author.

>>4604219
> being pushed on us by questionable (or non-existent) agents.

>reading unsolicited work
Why would you do this to yourself?

>>4604536
It reeks of Sanderson. Given he's likely using a pseudonym.

OP, congrats on signing Sanderson's latest series.

>>4604503
I like to think that I'm competent at my profession. Reading a lot of bad stuff doesn't necessarily make you praise to the mediocre manuscripts. If anything, it's a lot easier to tell when a book is just "okay" after doing this job for a while.

>>4604544
>>4604536
>>4604532
It's a new author, as far as I am aware.

>>4604541
It as kind of a hazing thing, I believe. They stopped me after about two weeks.

>>4604511
Not as much as I'd like to, but yes, I read for fun.

>>4604544
DBG claims in the OP post of the first thread that it's a new author. Someone like you will believe whatever they want though regardless. You're almost as bad as >>4604493

>>4604544
His magic system for this book probably revolves around having sex with mythical creatures. Fucking a dragon gives you the power to control fire, a kracken water, a roc air, etc. It'll all be explained via info dump over the first 50 pages of course.

>>4604572
>Dare you enter my magical realm?

>>4604572
Not at all, actually. There's very little info-dump.

>>4604541
Protip: Because op clearly doesn't work for a big 6 publisher.

>>4604572
I'd read the shit out of this. Probably be the first work of Brandon's I could enjoy.

>>4604323
As a Creative Writing English Major myself, I can say with complete honesty that I am, indeed, truly and without qualification, extremely jealous of OP.
He has my dream job.

Keep being awesome, OP. Someone has to live the dream, so it might as well be you.
Besides, I'm an asshole anyway

>>4604572
JUST LIKE MY BORDERLINE HENTAI MANGA!

Protip: Penguin was bought by Random House last year. It's Big 5 now.

>>4604587
We're not huge, but we are mid-size. The unsolicited manuscripts thing was really more hazing, as far as I can tell.

That's bullshit OP but I believe it.

MFW I read this book

>>4603743
Get an exclusive licensing deal with Bad Dragon. If you do this, i swear to god, your sales will explode into the heavens themselves.

>>4604653
But this is for fucking female dragons, not shoving them up your ass.
They seriously have all of ONE female dragon product on their site.

>>4604662
So it's an untapped market! Get in on the ground floor!

>>4604637

Is that series any good? I never got around to reading it.

>>4604796
Ausfer's stories are pretty good and his stories are an island in the sea that is gay dragon porn. His stories are all pretty much male humanXfemale dragon.

>>4603965
>Dragonfuck
>90% disaster

If it succeeds its also a disaster. So 100% disaster guaranteed.

It's going to be a disaster. Your boss doesn't have a new baby. He's just a cokehead.

>>4604916
Even if it flops you better believe that I, along with thousands of other anons will buy it, so I doubt it will end up bankrupting OPs' company.

>implying a dragon-fucking book will get as big a ASOIAF

lel

>>4605130
to be fair:
both twilight and 50 shades of grey exist as exceptionally successful books and this book could easily pull in the exact same demographic and it has the additional "benefit" of dragging in ALL the furries if this thing is truly advertised to hell like OP is talking about.
literally if we arn't careful furries may come in a massive as fuck resurgence and that is terrible.

>>4605193
Furries aren't bad when it's just another fetish to them, but the lifestyle/community idiots are why they such a shit rep.

>>4605193
I just don't see something dragging in both those demographics.

If the furries like it, the people who like Twilight won't.

are you people serious? these threads are obviously OP viraling his own book. this way he gets /lit/'s opinion while being disconnected to the actual product. congrats OP, though, for tricking dozens (if not hundreds) of people. gotta put a pin in it now, though.

> It made sense in context and wasn't just weird porn, and the rest of the story was quite good.
OP complimenting his own writing, trying to get you onto his side.

> the oddness of dragon-lovin' made me hesitant to actually bring it up to my boss.
OP is allegorically referring to his discomfort with showing his work to anyone.

> Holy shit this post is so poorly-written. Sorry about that, I don't really have time to properly edit since you guys are so anxious to know what happened
OP is sensitive to his own writing, so logically it follows that he's an aspiring writer.

> we might be able to post excerpts
'I' might post excerpts later if I summon up the nads.

>>4605233
You're likely right. It's fun to pretend though.

>>4603743

>mfw book is some shity liberal trasgender allegory

Hey OP

Have you heard of the collabortive novel-writing project going on at teh moment on here?

Would you be willing to take a look at the final document in a few months' time?

>>4605317
Not on a professional level (I doubt my publisher would be okay with me submitting a book a bunch of anons wrote,) but I could edit it a bit, if you like

>>4605313
Instead of the "hurr durr I am manly man I save wurld" books that you like? I'll take it.

I wonder if this will set precedent for monstergirl literature.

>>4605460
Monstergirls eyes me down from the dark of the alley while I quickly run towards a safer place. They are hungry for the seed of men, only to be more encouraged by the laws prohibiting the interaction between human and these monsters.
A sudden movement from the shadows, I'm rendered immobile.
"Where do you think you're going, little man?", dragged by a snake's tail, which unarguably could pull something akin to a truck, there is no point in resisting.

>>4605473

Kind of a beauty and the beast story only with the genders reversed and the naga doesn't change appearances. By the end he goes from no longer resisting to willingly finding and submitting to her needs. Hanging out and playing videogames in the mean time. Bonus points if your scene takes place towards the end and they start roleplaying her fantasies.

I swear cartoons are lewder than most adult TV shows.

Spoiler: OP is the author.

>>4605522
Actually, OP is on /lit/, so he probably hasn't written anything.

>>4603852
Viral-inception, man. Deep

>>4604105
dragons have one hole, like birds.

>>4606105
how sure are we on that?

>>4606105
Dragons aren't real, they can have as many holes as you want to give them.
Anywhere you want them, in fact.

>>4606230
On a semi-related note, googling "lizard vagina" gets you this picture.

Which I thought was funny.

>>4606241

Bump

>>4604493
Implying thats a bad thing

>>4604493
Yeah, things would definitely be better if humanity has an unending future of racially segregated, sexually repressed religious fanatics.

>>4603846

I guess it shows how blasé I've become from reading 4chan and all those monstergirl manga, but I don't really see what's the big deal with dragonfucking in a mainstream fantasy book. Weirder shit happens in those.

Hell, I'd probably be more uncomfortable reading long, erotic scenes of dragons fucking dragons over dragon x human.
This dragon's intelligent and has a culture which includes feelings like guilt, romantic love, racial hatred, etc. She's pretty much human with a different body.

>>4616081
you've forgotten what it's like to be human

>>4616724
Where have I gone wrong? What am I now?
