I have no problem (and do read both) with either, it's simply not with I write. <br />Amy, you are one of my first authors in the genre, as in one of the 1st I found and read (and then proceeded to get addicted to, lol). I love your work. And while I have never emailed you can mail, I have thought it in my head, and I think, posted b4. Your stories do touch. Do matter. And do change people.<br />Thank you.Tempe Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03454232441767846325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7038815217243908035.post-72365959113164475032017-11-05T11:41:49.385-08:002017-11-05T11:41:49.385-08:00And here we find the idiotic picked white mass you...And here we find the idiotic picked white mass you spoke of.

How can you even think of giving your m/m manuscripts to your MINOR students? Did it not even cross your mind to check with their parents first? Giving it to young people who are at their most impressionable, who are trying to figure out who they are and then you do THIS?! I bet your readers might think differently of you if they knew that you were distributing this "literature" to minors. We try to protect our kids from the endless stream of crap on the internet, and YOU--a supposed TEACHER-give it to them instead? You should be ashamed of yourself. How dare you call yourself a teacher. You are shamelessly promoting yourself, not looking out for the welfare of your students. You should remove yourself from any position where you work with children. Is that where you get your inspiration, from the young high school students? Do you get off on it? Do you let your little children read it? You are more than twisted. You are sick and disgusting. You are lucky you only received 10 days unpaid leave. We were campaigning for much more. And trust us, we're not done. We're watching every move now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7038815217243908035.post-41276022977370905152010-11-09T21:31:35.647-08:002010-11-09T21:31:35.647-08:00Say it Sister!

Bravo! Bravo! *stands and applauds*
Because...Amy, <br />Bravo! Bravo! *stands and applauds*<br /><br />Because I know some people in the "white puckered world" and they spout and rant and rave and condemn....without EVER knowing what or who they are attacking. I wish it was as simple as asking them to read your blog today, but they will not because anything that MIGHT have the power to change their minds? Is of no consequence to them...because why should they actually TRY to see things any way other than THEIR way?<br /><br />I adore each and every book you have written, read them all OFTEN and it hurts to think that there is such amazing storytelling that the "WPW" will never be exposed to.<br /><br />But I am thankful that you share so much of yourself with us readers....I know my life is FAR better because you do. So, Thank You.<br /><br />*hugs*ElaineGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00908359124708433359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7038815217243908035.post-9181516908145177822010-11-06T14:59:41.792-07:002010-11-06T14:59:41.792-07:00Exactly!

I think the world would be a warmer, happier place if we all gave romance (of any kind between any kind of people/beings) more respect. <br /><br />I don't know when we started to denigrate what we do. I'm in awe of what you write and what you sacrifice and put up with to do so. I won't accept that it is anything less than spectacular. Just like I told all those people that knitting is "nothing big" and that spinning is "simple". It IS big and It's not simple. It's just something that we do because we can't NOT do it.<br /><br />I'm with you sister, all the way.Donna Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07877384848664758611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7038815217243908035.post-50278016926467392212010-11-05T18:34:12.373-07:002010-11-05T18:34:12.373-07:00Well said!

The tingles, the heart flutters, the wonderful stimulating feeling of falling in and being in love. It's what those wonderfully sappy poets are all about. The delirious euphoria of 'the love cycle' as I like to call it, is not about porn. Sex, yes, but we do not get a substantially lasting emotion from sex/porn. Romance, when well applied, lasts a lifetime.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01858590140856937905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7038815217243908035.post-57184350025875935402010-11-05T14:19:54.084-07:002010-11-05T14:19:54.084-07:00Hi Amy -

Puckered is as puckered does, and obviously they aren't doing much or they wouldn't be so uptight! They seem to be upset with the fact that sex sells. Well, it has for millenia. But the puckered set conveniently forgets that a book they all know, one they all own, is chock full of what goes on between the sheets...and it's the best selling book of all time! THE BIBLE. It's got sex in every chapter!Marianne Moreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11874251904452596285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7038815217243908035.post-69392077701546769912010-11-05T11:49:45.303-07:002010-11-05T11:49:45.303-07:00Amy...

Puckered is as puckered does, and obviously they aren't doing much or they wouldn't be so uptight! As a fellow author laboring over my own love scenes, I have poured much of my own steamy experience (both real and fantasy) onto those pages. I embrace you, your work and your manifesto. To go even further back than the classics, the puckered ones forget that some of the smuttiest stories come from the bible.
