For the last couple of months, when we kissed, the first thought to flash through my mind was: “this is supposed to be fun.” I told myself over and over, like a mantra, willing it to come true.

Eroticon 2017 – GOTN’s meet and greet post
It’s just over two weeks until Eroticon – the UK event for sex writers that has been the highlight of my year since I first went in 2014.

As part of the conf, to help people get to know each other, each year Molly runs a ‘meet and greet.’ So: if you’re coming, copy the questions from the meet and greet post, and fill in your answers. Then share it, tag @EroticonUK, and meet some of the people who’ll be coming along.
