• NO violence, rape, domination, pedophila (adults exploiting children), necrophilia or bestiality.
• Nudity is fine.
• Storyline should have strong emotional content, with vivid, well-developed characters - we are most interested in love stories
• Avoid using only characters that look like fashion models. We have a very wide definition of "beauty." Don't be afraid to depict what the patriarchy considers "flaws." Older and full-bodied women can be VERY sexy - Kaye and I certainly are, aren't we? ;) View images in the Il Geco Gallery to see what we mean.
• About younger characters - be VERY careful here. We have NO PATIENCE or TOLERANCE for sick, twisted adults who exploit children (we are the mothers of a daughter ourselves). That said, a "coming-of-age" story in which young girls discover/explore their lesbian sexuality with each other (like Isabelle and Therese) could be appropriate IF tastefully done. If you're doing a comic like this especially for Sappho's Flame Eroticomix Series, please run your idea by us BEFORE you get started.

We look forward to seeing your work!

Update, 05 December:

I was asked to clarify a point regarding violence in submitted content, since some people who had read the old version of Eight Weeks were a little confused. Admittedly, my protagonist, Michelle Devereaux, has a bit of a short fuse (with men, anyway). Without giving the plot away to those who haven't read it, I admit there are a couple of incidents in which she completely "loses it."

So, here's the rules:

If you are submitting artwork, we absolutely DO NOT want to see images in which one person is taking pleasure in dominating, abusing and/or inflicting injury and pain on another. Period. We are not here to judge, but if this what you find erotic, there are many other websites out there dedicated to just this sort of thing. Same thing goes for "catfighting" images. Playful wrestling is one thing, two (or more) people trying to injure or maim each other is quite another. We just don't want to go there.

When it comes to stories and comics: just use a little common sense here. When we say NO violence or rape, specifically, we're saying that we don't want to see stories or images that suggest these things are okay or erotic. To us, they are NOT.

Now, I don't want to male-bash here. My future son-in-law, my younger brother and two of my dearest friends are men, and I'm very fond of all of them. That said, it seems to me that the ONLY people who think women would ever enjoy being brutalized - even by other women - are men with some warped b------t patriarchal domination fantasy. Again - we just don't want to go there.
