Survey Part 1: All About you!

I'd like to get some feedback. If you wouldn't mind answering a few questions, I'd appreciate it. Some of you are curious about me and I'm curious about some of you. I've been doing this awhile now and I guess I always wished the whole author/reader thing could be a little more interactive than circumstances allow.

I'm a people person.

Anyway, this won't take long and you may even enjoy it. Please be honest, the results will be more meaningful that way and who knows? It may even help me decide what the hell I'm going to do next. I'm catholic, you know?

Here's the Survey

Alrighty then, here's the questions and there aren't very many. I'll probably add more as I think of them, but basically I just want to know who's reading and what you think about my website. The poll questions are off the top of my head and I suppose I should spend ten minutes coming up with a decent plan, but being a hobby and not work...I really want to take the simplest approach.

What year is it?

That's kind of a practice question, but it does let me know how many visitors I have in a given year since I'm going to "fire and forget" this page, I hope, and only check results periodically and probably rant about them. I'm setting the "polls closed" option at 31 Dec 2015…I think.


Let’s start with demographics, huh? What’s your gender? Are you…

What’s your sexual orientation?

How old are you?

What’s your educational background?

At what age did you become interested in erotica/porn?

Attempting to draw a meaningless corollary…At what age did you begin to masturbate?

Just out of curiosity, at what age did you have your first sexual experience with another person? (A dog counts as a person here)

I had my first sexual experience of any sort with a dog when I was 13 years old. He licked me and I jerked him off with my thighs (let him hump me) and shortly after losing my virginity to a boy at 14, I let my dog have me…The dog was way better at sex, believe me!

And finally, to complete my abbreviated version of the Kinsey Report, at what age did you experience sexual intercourse for the first time? (Dogs count only if you were madly in love at the time)

One last question about your sexuality. Do you masturbate while reading erotic / porn fiction? (Mine or anyone else’s)

A guy told me once that he “joined the mile-high-club” by jerking off to my stories on an airplane. Isn’t that romantic?
Okay, the following questions apply to what you like to READ more than just look at. I’m not saying they can’t be the same thing, but I’m an author. So…

What is your favorite fetish?

What is your favorite genre?

I’ll write about any fetish in any genre, but I really like Science Fiction and Romance the most, preferably at the same time. Teen, angst-filled robots are so awesome!

Generally speaking, what’s MOST important to your enjoyment of EROTIC fiction?

Which of the following has the MOST influence on the erotica you choose to read?

What year did you first read a story of mine? (under any pen name)

If you've been reading me since before 2001 then you shouldn't be taking my poll, you should be making an appointment with a psychiatrist...

On the other hand, I am working on a time machine in my spare time so who knows? I could be posting in 18th century France someday in the near future.

How often do you offer feedback to authors whose work you enjoy?

When you have emailed an author, have you gotten a reply?

Sometimes, very rarely, I get emails that say, “I emailed you, rache, and you never wrote me back! What’s up with that?” It’s totally my fault and I apologize, but I do try and answer all my mail in a timely manner. Sometimes things slip through the cracks though, especially with my schedule and it’s a lame excuse, I know. I’m sorry and I’m not ignoring anyone, believe me. I get a lot of email, I travel all the time, I work and have a husband, and life happens to all of us.

Okay, enough about me…Let's talk about my site!

Would you say the layout of my website is…

The VBE pages are really…

The thing I like the LEAST about your site is…

The thing I like MOST about your site is…

Did you answer all the questions honestly?

Okay, I lied…One more question I just thought of…Where have you predominantly read or currently prefer to read my stories?

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions and I hope they weren't too annoying or invasive. I'm a sucker for surveys and text boxes, so…I'm into it anyway. I appreciate your interest and I'm very totally glad you made it this far. I wish I could give you a big hug or some cotton candy or a blowjob, but we're kinda stuck in tangible rewards limbo for the moment.

Maybe in another life I'll be selling cotton candy at the county fair, between the pony rides and the ring-the-bell-with-the-big-hammer thing (is there a name for that?) and our eyes will meet and we'll share an intimate moment of unexplained déjà vu that will leave us both scratching our heads and smiling with mild embarrassment.

I'm looking forward to it.

Best always!
