You may use a pseudonym on our advertising if preferred; most of our past readers have used a pseudonym + character bio + performed in persona in-line with their fan-fic so you can expect that as a big part of the vibe for the evening! That’s not to say that soft and vulnerable work doesn’t do well by any means, we have had some wonderful writers read about more serious matters and it can be really powerful, but expect a crowd that is a bit rowdy! You also can ask a friend to read your piece for you if you yourself do not want to perform it and/or would like to remain anonymous to the work.
Content can be fan fiction, original content, auto-bio/true to life, etc. Past reading selections have featured trucks and dragons, aliens, Greek gods, monks, Transformers, Hulk Hogan, Shrek, BG3, Klingons Wuthering Heights and medieval knights alongside tinder dates and cringe meetups, sexcapades, and yearning sonnets. Show us the richness of your imagination & the depth of the heart ♡₊˚✩ ₊˚⊹♡‧₊˚
Work can/will be collected to be published in an in-print zine compilation EROTICA VOL. 4 to be released at the showcase!
