The Mechanic

TWO

Dear Author,

We received your short story, and I am pleased to inform you that it met our expectations.

The story wasn't entirely flawless and a little more of detail and editing were needed, but your talent was obvious.

We would like you to be part of our team as a contributor. However, the website is currently in need of a series. There are already loads of flash stories and we are looking for something new.

The series doesn't have to have a serious plot. We just need a main character, either a male or female, who will be generally involved in lots of sexual activities with different people. If you're confused, kindly check The Invisible Stud online to have a further understanding of what I'm talking about.

If your story outline will be approved, we will sign a deal with you regarding the copyright, pay, and other legal matters. It will be done online, of course.

For a starter like you, the average pay will be $75 per part. If the response is great and a lot of people are reading, your pay will increase and can reach the amount of $350. The more people love your work, the more you'll earn.

Please check the attached link for the important things to consider before forming your plot. You can also find there the required format in submitting your work. Please follow the format to avoid confusion and to make the editing flow smoothly.

We do hope you'll consider our offer.

I swallowed thickly, then blinked hard before reading the email again. I just woke up, so I wasn't sure if I was just being delusional or what.

Oh, Lord. I'm not deluded! It's real! They liked what I wrote and they're offering me a job! For $75 per part!

I fanned myself with my hand. OH MY GOD.

I took deep breaths and calmed myself down. I clicked on the link that they attached and started to read the important reminders.

We will not accept stories falling into these categories:

•celebrity fanfiction
•pedophilia

Themes conditionally accepted:

•rape, torture, and snaff. To be considered, such stories must have strong plots.
•inflammatory/defamatory. We will not consider stories simply written to be racist and sexist. To be considered, such stories must have strong plots.
•extreme stories. We will not consider stories that were just written for shock value.

You can have any pen name of your choice. Once you made your mind about it, you can't change it.

For your series proposal, we demand a complete outline of a plot, estimated number of chapters (not less than 20), and drafts of the first three or five chapters.

We will wait for your submission until Tuesday night.

I continued to read. The rest was about the required format for submission. When I finished, I closed my laptop and lay on the bed, then stared at the ceiling.

A series. An erotic series about a certain character.

It overwhelmed me. The reason why I tried my luck on the website was because I thought I could write flash stories for them. But the more I think about their email, the more I doubt myself. A series was almost the same as a book!
