Attention Word Nerds!


Both J.D. and I are proud word nerds. Good grammar is hot and Scrabble is Foreplay.

If you feel the same way (or if you're just looking to score some free smut!) check out the latest contest at Cleis Press:

Cleis Press is running a spelling contest based on the covers for the twelve existing volumes in the "Erotic Alphabet" series of anthologies edited by Alison Tyler. (Among the safer-for-work titles: A Is For Amour and J Is For Jealousy.) To enter, you have to line up the covers to spell a word, take a picture, and send that in, for which you'll win volumes A-L. (Really? Just A-L? Not guaranteed delivery of everything up to, presumably, Z Is For Zipper?) As you can see from my failed attempt, the options available to contestants using only the first twelve letters of the alphabet can be somewhat constraining. But then one imagines that many of the contestants will enjoy the constraints.

Here's more info about entering.

Your fellow word nerd,
