Open Sauce

Ever read a clapped-out bit of 'traditional' erotica? So laden with cultural stereotypes and yawn-inducing predictability that you've wanted to get out the red pen and change some stuff? Well now you can.
I'd just like to draw your attention for a moment, if I may, to the new project at Radical X. It's called 'Open Sauce' and, quite frankly, I think it's brills.

If you click on the link above you get to read all about it from the horses mouth (sorry, Radical X!), but for those of you who need a bit more persuading before clicking, Open Sauce is a piece of collaborative erotica - that's write (ha): we all get our crayons out and scribble on each other's work, completely anonymously until... well, if you lot contribute I dread to think what horrors the final version might bring to light. It'll probably be some sort of kinky Frankenstein's monster.

This is what the horse's mouth has to say about it:

Following on from our successful zine project Play!Fight!, Radical X introduces another opportunity to step out of your comfort zone, and engage with the private thoughts and fantasies of others. Open Sauce is our new project for 2011, using erotic writing to invite you into a dialogue.
How to participate

1. Read the current version of the Open Sauce story

2. Anything that doesn't do it for you? Something you'd like to add? Go to 'Edit' to contribute your changes.

3. Check back later to see others' changes and re-edit if you like.

Personally, the thing I like the most about the concept ( aside from the actual clever collaborative stuff) is that it could result in fantasy wars - see 3. check back and re-edit? What a deliciously stubborn approach: YOU WILL ALL MASTURBATE TO MY FANTASIES GODDAMMIT! 


I think bossy erotica is something I could get on board with ;)


(On reflection I decided that Frankenfurter might be more apt than Frankenstein)
