Meet the Monsterotica Contributors: Jay Anderson and Lyonel Loy
After the Cloudflare outage this morning took Kickstarter down for a few hours, our crowdfunding campaign for Monsterotica: Tales of Unusual Courtship and Coupling is back in business, less than $2,500 from our goal, and here with two more author spotlights!
Today, meet Jaye Anderson and Lyonel Loy, read their biographies, and check out excerpts from their stories!
Author: Jaye Anderson
About: Jaye Anderson, fandom name MsWhich, writes original works and fanfiction and has been posting them on the Internet since the olden days of mailing lists and Yahoo groups. She supports her writing habit by managing metadata at a day job where, she is fairly sure, her coworkers don’t realize she’s spending her spare time writing erotic tentacle fiction. She participates in a lot of different fandoms, although she tends to be a late arrival to most of them, as evidenced by the fact that she recently spent a year writing a novel-length story in the 2001: a Space Odyssey fandom. (She has a HAL 9000 enamel pin on her backpack. When asked about it, she just says that she thinks he’s really misunderstood.) She lives in the Midwestern US with her long-term partner, who really gets her and also beta reads most of her work.

Story Title: Compatible
I am learning you, Henry says. May I try something?
It’s nice that Henry is bothering to ask first, even though he must know that there’s no way Marcus is going to say no.
Sure, Marcus thinks. He waits expectantly, and then out of nowhere, a wave of pleasure sweeps through him, raising the hair on the backs of his arms, making him push his hips forward in the seat. He grabs the edge of the hard plastic subway chair, holding on for dear life. He’s grateful that Henry made them wait for an empty car, because there’s no way he could hide what’s happening to him right now. He’s whining like a dog.
You have many erogenous areas, Henry muses.

Excerpt:
“Gift-giving’s a part of courtship for most, I hear. Perhaps you could get your Jianlei something nice?”
Zakri fidgets. “Gifts are good, I think,” they say. “I asked Davin about it?”
“Ah,” Koiroi says.
“I don’t have,” Zakri stutters, worry-wiping at their eyes, “the parts—”
“Ah,” Koiroi says. “Yes. Davin’s a sweetheart, but he does tend to forget that the rest of us can’t just remove our… Well. I’m sure Jianlei doesn’t expect your severed member as a courting gift, dearie. Sol-folk don’t regrow their genitalia either.”
