The author of the Starship Rimshot stories gave me the statement below, to forward to all Reddit erotic literature readers. He truly is amazed, and pleased with the volume of people who have discovered and enjoyed the stories on Reddit during the past week. **By current count: 85,358 reads of eight short stories.** We do not know if this is some kind of award-winning record…. but it should be!
**What Roscoe Forthright wants readers to know:**
“When I am sitting at my desk, in my trailer-home in the woods in western Washington State, I have no idea if anyone will notice, or enjoy my erotic stories. I am entertaining myself, and also exploring cultural norms (and fabrications, and irrational beliefs) surrounding sex, sex of all kinds, and the spiritual potential of sex. Casual readers will probably not want think too deeply about the spiritual implications of fucking. Most readers just want some quick entertainment. And I am all for that.
But, for my own entertainment, I need something more lasting and more useful. Some larger ideas to consider. In other words, *new and more accurate ways* to describe reality, the reality we all live in:
social, economic, political, scientific, sexual and religious.. .all the various and conflicting descriptions of reality we live with every day. Some of my lovers enjoy swallowing my semen. Some do not. We all have fun and enjoy the wide variety available within the scope of our personal preferences. There is plenty of room for joy and love of all kinds within the personal preferences of the people in my life.
This is where erotic fantasy fiction is useful: to explore social and spiritual possibilities in the realm of imagination before attempting to bring specific ideas and fantasies into the real world, that is, into our beds and into our actual and satisfying ways of life. As the dragon-serpent Qilin says, in one of my stories, “Love is the essential element. Sexual play is useful as a spiritual rocket, but the cheerful
rocket goes nowhere without love.”
All this goes to say, I am glad when readers get quick and satisfying entertainment from my writing. But I wish for readers to know, there is more hidden in the symbolism and sexual interactions than you might realize. Reading a story more than once, a reader might realize I am describing alternate ways to look at sexuality, and social and religious reality, and alternate ways to understand how civilizations work, and how, and why *they fail.*
All good wishes…. and please do not take me too seriously. Enjoy the stories in whatever ways you wish to enjoy the stories.”
